One of our customers Harold Hauer has shown a way to access both Mac & Windows files from RecentX:
I have been using RecentX for a number of years on my PC. About a year ago, I cloned my PC laptop onto my (new) iMac. I am running Windows XP simultaneously with the Mac OS under VMWare Fusion. When I run in Unity Mode, the Windows windows appear separately as programs are called, within the Mac space. In this Unity Mode, the Recent X bar appears at the top of the desktop, just as in Windows and provides instantaneous access to Windows AND shared Mac folders and files! This program has really simplified working in both operating systems.
RecentX lets you quickly launch any file, folder, program or bookmark. What is special about it is that it automatically tracks what file & folder you access. While it successfully tracks ‘file/document‘ opened in different file managers, it can only track ‘folder‘ opened from within Windows Explorer.
Recently John (one of RecentX users, don’t know last name) showed us an innovative way of making RecentX track files & folders opened in Directory Opus.
Here is a screenshot showing steps to configure Directory Opus so that RecentX can track the files & folders opened in Dopus.
We are thrilled to launch the new version of Piky Basket called ‘Copywhiz‘. After receiving several feedback on the name ‘Piky Basket’, we have finally renamed Piky Basket to Copywhiz.
Piky Basket was part of a suite of products called PikySuite – a suite of 3 products: PikyBasket, PikyFolders & PikyTools. Out of all the three products, we have discontinued PikyFolders & PikyTools due to redundant features in Windows Vista & Windows 7. While PikyBasket has been retained as Copywhiz.
Copywhiz has many cool enhancements. Plus, it has been made simple & intuitive. The new version is very easy to understand and use.
What is Copywhiz?
Enhance your file-copy experience with Copywhiz as it lets you to have more flexibility & more control over the file copying and backup process. Here is how Copywhiz makes file copying a breeze:
Copy only new or modified files
Easily pick files by name, extension, folder etc from bunch of folders
Automatically organize files based on file attributes and metadata
Copy files to multiple folders/computers
Copy files from multiple folders and paste them at once
Sync files between source and destination
Pick files from multiple folders and compress in single .zip file
Due to a bug in Google Toolbar, the size of Firefox history/bookmarks file (places.sqlite) bloats up drastically. Instead of being in the range of 20MB-30MB, it can grow as big as 300 MB. And it keeps growing as you browse more websites.
Google Toolbar, instead of keeping only nine thumbnails in Places.SQLite file. It stores the thumbnail of each website you visit.
This affects RecentX‘s performance as RecentX reads the history from Places.sqlite.
Here is a tool called CompressSqliteDatabase that can compress any sqlite3 database. As it was designed for RecentX, the tool automatically detects a firefox database and asks you if you wish to delete all the Google Toolbar thumbnails so that it can compress it back to a minimal size.
If you have Google Toolbar installed, then chances are that your Firefox history file will be too big.
Download the below tool to compress your Firefox history file. The file is stored under Firefox’s profile folder. Typically – %APPDATA%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\ . Copy and paste this path in Start->Run window and press OK in the Run window. This will open the ‘Profiles’ folder. Open the right profile folder here. The profile folder is normally named as (something).default. Here you will find the places.SQLite file.
We are pleased to announce the launch of RecentX version 3.0.
This new version of RecentX has been improved from many dimensions. Nice new features, better performance & stability, improved usability and attractive looks.

Often we get support queries that say ‘My notes are gone. What should I do?’.
In all the cases we have seen, there was nothing to panic. The data did not get corrupted, or the data was not lost. It just misplaced due to some change in configuration settings (Windows profile, moving of folders, reinstallation, etc.)
Here are the different things you need to try when you do not find your notes:
May be the sticky notes are just hidden.
Right click on Notezilla icon in the taskbar (next to the clock) and choose Desktop Notes->Show All Notes.
May be the sticky notes are off your desktop
Sometimes, when changing the display resolution of your desktop, the notes go off the desktop. Right-click on the Notezilla icon in the taskbar (next to the clock) and choose Desktop Notes->Layout->Stickers.
May be Notezilla is not seeing the right data folder.
Go to Notezilla’s preferences. To access Notezilla’s Preferences, go to the Notes Browser, choose Advanced->Preferences from the menu.
Click on the Advanced tab and note the data folder where Notezilla is looking for the notes data.
Exit Notezilla.
Search your whole computer (all drives) for Notes.db file. Check the size of this file and its date modified. Find the biggest file and the latest one. Copy this file to the above data folder.
Launch Notezilla and check if you see your sticky notes.
May be the backup folder has your notes data.
Notezilla keeps five copies of the backup under the backup subfolder.
Windows 10: C:\Documents and Settings\(user name)\Application Data\Conceptworld\Notezilla\backup\
Windows 8/7: C:\Users\(user name)\AppData\Roaming\Conceptworld\Notezilla\backup\
Each copy is stored in a subfolder, date wise. Go to each folder and check the size and date of the Notes.db file. Find the biggest file and the latest one. Copy this file to the above data folder. To know the exact path of the data folder, go to Notezilla Preferences. To access Notezilla’s Preferences, go to the Notes Browser, choose Advanced->Preferences from the menu. The Advanced tab will show the right data folder path.

Quite a few customers have requested a ‘Reply’ feature in Notezilla. When somebody sends a sticky note, you should be able to reply to the sender using a single click quickly.
Notezilla does have a way to reply quickly. But it is not called ‘Reply.’
When you receive a sticky note, modify it and press the Ctrl+G key and hit enter to send the note to the sender. What exactly happens here? Ctrl+G brings the ‘Send To Contact’ window. Also, Notezilla automatically selects the sender of the note in the list. Hitting enter picks the selected sender and sends the note over the network.

Sometimes, you may want to keep the desktop clean, without any sticky notes on it.
In such cases, you can configure Notezilla to create new notes always inside a specific memoboard inside of the Windows desktop.
Go to Notezilla’s Notes Browser
Right click on a memoboard item in the tree view on the left pane and choose
‘Properties’
You will see the ‘Memoboard Properties’ window as shown above
Check the item ‘Set as default memoboard’ and press OK
We have set this memoboard as the default memoboard. Meaning, all new sticky notes will be created in this memoboard instead of the Windows desktop.
