[FINALLY RESOLVED] (See post#6 for a great free tool) How Do You Manage Subscriptions
I have another question. :p
I've found that the 'subscription' page has a bug. :(
(As an alternative) Is it possible to sort subscriptions by notification-type ?
I mean, I want change to my most important subscribed threads as 'instant', less important threads to 'daily'. That way I can find a thread more easily.
I've tried,
http://www.vbforums.com/subscription...t=notification
and similar combinations. :p None worked. :eek2:
How do you guys manage subscriptions ?
I don't want to have 100s of IE/Opera bookmarks. :)
Re: How Do You Manage Subscriptions
I don't. The purpose of thread subscriptions is to notify you when there is a reply - nothing more, nothing less.
Re: How Do You Manage Subscriptions
Thanks Marty for you reply. :)
Finally I've managed to make an small app (mentioned here) and saving important pages in a database with their link from browser context menu. It's nothing big, but ok for my need.
Re: [RESOLVED] How Do You Manage Subscriptions
I don't see any usable app in the thread you reference, but if you do have an app that saves links to here then it might be useful to others. Why not add it to the Utilities forum?
Re: [RESOLVED] How Do You Manage Subscriptions
Sorry. The app was not there. I have posted 'how I managed to do it' in that thread.
It is just a very simple clone of Surfulater / MyBase .
As I've posted in that thread, I'm not done with the Firefox extension. I'll definitely upload it in Utility Bank once I make the extension a little better (and add some comments. :p)
Re: [FINALLY RESOLVED] (See post#6 for a great free tool) How Do You Manage Subscriptions
Today I found Net Snippets. A free tool that does exactly what I need. I hope you'll like it.
It works with both IE and Firefox. The Firefox extension page is here.
It saves the pages in local folder as html. So it is easier to search from within windows. And easier to share/ make chm.
The only problem I found is (like surfulater) we need to select the whole document to import full page. There is no context menu to autometically import full page.
To add this feature do this,
1.Create a html file with ONLY the following code:
Code:
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="vbscript">
Dim parentwin
set parentwin = external.menuArguments
set doc = external.menuArguments.document
set range = doc.selection.createRange
Dim Clipper
Set Clipper = CreateObject("IEClipper.Clipper")
Call Clipper.Capture(parentwin)
</SCRIPT>
Save the file.
2.Now, open registry and goto,
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\MenuExt
Create a new key called " Add Full Page to Net Snippets" (or anything you like)
In it's 'Default' value write full path of the HTML file we created in step 1.
3. If you like you may change the old keys name to " Add Selection to Net Snippets" or similar.
4.(Re)start IE. The new menu item(s) should appear in context menu. :)
(For more information see this page)
Opera: As Opera doesn't support extensions, you need to manually copy the page to that folder. Or you may configure your source viewer and create a small batch file/exe that will copy the file to that folder when you click on 'view source'. (You'll miss images though)
P.S. I am abandoning my project :p
