Request for a new Forum...

[lisahoo]

Say, could we get a new forum here under "Software & Hardware BYTES" -- one for the other tools & utilities that we digital scrapbookers cannot live without. Like The Font Thing, for example.

Here are just some of the tools I cannot live without now that I'm an SBB addict:
The Font Thing
ReNamer (great for batch renaming)
Double Killer (finds duplicate files, even with different names!)
ZIP Reader by PKWARE
Firefox
Flash Got
Free Download Manager
Hello
Any others y'all want to mention?

If we could start with a forum with a thread for these, then the best posts there could be a basis for writing some tutorials...

If not another fourm.. why not just a sticky thread? That would serve the purpose as well...

My list is huge (but then I'm a software junkie).. here are a few:
Font Explorer
Winzip
WinRar
Firefox Web Browser (once you use it over IE.. you'll never go back!)
Adobe Elements 3, 2
PSP X, 9, 8, 7, 6, etc
Photoshop CS2
Plugins:
Alien Skin Eye Candy 5
Digital Anarchy Backdrop Designer
Filters Unlimited
nik Sharpener Pro
All the Redfield Plugins
RedPaw BBPro
Virtual Photographer
Color Mechanic Pro
35mm Filters
Extensis Photoframe
NeatImage
etc.. etc.. etc...
ColorMania
FlashGet Auto Downloader (for all those crazy kit zip files!!!)
FTPRush
Thumbsplus (for cataloging all those messy fonts/kits/photos!)
ACDSee FotoSlate (for priting layouts and photos in layouts how you want them)
Qimage (for professional printing with ICC profiles)
Irfanview (for quick photo viewing/batch renaming and batch rotating - lossless)
Downloader Pro (camera to PC auto rename, download, etc)


The list of software I use goes on and on.. but these are the main ones.

I will bring the suggestion to the attention of admin Lisa This thread "Other Byte Programs" was intended for use for these sorts of programs as well as lesser used programs so feel free to post in this forum. I will bring your suggestion to admin attention though and we may rename the cateogory slightly

GREAT IDEA!!!!!

This would be really helpful if a brief description of what they are, what they do, how to get it. i.e. free download, electronic store on line. Looking at the list I have no idea what they are but I'm sure I must have them. Just a thought.

Well lets head over to the Other Program Bytes Form and get that baby hopping!!
My only other request as of right now would be to add Picasa to the list! Of how does this program work!! LOL and how to make it work for you, not against you!! lol
