HINTS AND TIPS

Hi Lee,

At this point, I dont try to interface with the OE or other newsreaders.

This newsgroup (as well as most others) is mirrored by Google
(http://groups.google.com/group/rec.woodworking/topics). in a web page
format which can be saved in ShopFileR as a link or, if you save the webpage
as an .mht file, to your local hard drive as a web page (mht file) with the
pics and links intact, and then can be associated into ShopFileR....

Also, another way,...if there is a particular message that you want to save
, then copy the message to the clipboard and do a paste into the 'Notes' in
ShopFileR, or paste it into notepad and save it as a .txt file and
associate that in ShopFileR... a couple of ways to skin that cat<g>

I am looking at a direct newsgroup interface in ShopFileR, however, but
havent decided if I really want to implement it yet. Maybe a future
enhancement.

Are you the author of the ShopFileR software?
ROY!

Skip,

I assume, from looking at your webpage, that you can copy saved messages
from your newsreader to ShopFileR.

MS Outlook Express is nortorious for storing messages in a proprietary
format that is almost impossible to move or copy to another program.

How do you handle this problem?

But, posts do expire from news servers, so they only real alternative is
either saving the post as a local file, or (if it is pure text) making a
link to the google archive, or if it is a abpw picture, possible a link to
the abpw archive (name/link escapes me at this moment).

I have tried to get to archived links in google if the original post
expired from the verizon news server, but have yet to find a news ID that
works properly. I suspect that Verizon renames the ID (??).

Just the time and volume issues. I am often in a rush when I frequent
newsgroups. I can quickly copy to a folder in the original format.
Changeing the format not only requires a bunch of extra steps, but a new
location as well. It greatly increases the time and hassle. And it is often
impossible to do with my schedule.

Any reason you can't save as .txt?

Thanks for the kind words, Roy.

Registered users will get free updates for at least two years from the date
they installed ShopFileR.

Some selected updates will be available for unregistered users as well. I
plan to have an update next week to add the ability to add links, file
associations, etc. to the Magazine Index. Some folks have scanned their WW
mags or certain articles and wanted a way to keep the links and scanned
files associated with a particular magazine. This update will be available
to everyone.

A quick update to my above reply .....

Some of y'all may have downloaded ShopFileR last week. Just wanted to let
you know that an update is available.

Links, files, etc can now be associated in the Magazine Index section.
Scanned articles or complete magazines can be organized here.

On the main menu, go to 'Help', 'Check the Web for Updates'

Thanks

Skip,
Program looks to be winner.
How long will you give free updates to registered owners?

ROY!

Roy,

I am.

I origionally wrote it for my own shop to solve some problems that I was
having keeping track of all my links, forum messages, etc. Then added a
bunch of stuff to it and thought it might be useful to others .
