Visipics is great, but can take a while. Auslogics Duplicate File Finder works much more quickly for exact matches, if the problem is multiple dumps of the exact same set of pictures.

BonoMan posted:Is there a small piece of software that can analyze a folder and show all the duplicate files? I'm terribly when it comes to organizing my DSLR photos. I often just dump them in a huge folder and then forget to format my cards so that when I dump it to PC again a week later there are duplicates.

I'm really hoping that Windows 10 improves language switching in Windows and Office- If you're giving it away then there S no need for shenanigans! Also the swipe keyboard from windows phone would be great.

I'm learning Swedish, so I have the option to swap between US and Swedish keyboards and use Win+Space to swap between them quickly. Suddenly there are now three things to choose from instead of the normal two. Why did this start happening all of a sudden?

That same thing happened with me with English Dvorak, English international, Arabic, and Vietnamese (it was inserting the regular US keyboard). I just removed the two English keyboards and then added them back, and that fixed it.

This might be a stretch but I figured I'd ask. I just got a work laptop that I bring home to use for personal means too, is there an app that will launch say Steam or Mumble when under a specific wifi network? Not that it's necessarily a pain in the rear end to do manually, I'm just used to things like Tasker on my phone to automate these sort of things for me. Running Windows 7 Pro.

Can anyone tell me where I can download an ISO of Windows 8 Home OEM version? I have a key for it, but I can't seem to find a download for installation media anywhere. All I can find is disc images marked ENTERPRISE, and the Windows 8 setup assistant (Windows8-Setup.exe) says it can't set things up with my key.

Is there one of those for 8, not 8.1? This is an older key and I'm pretty sure 8.1 won't accept it directly.

Didn't they change that so the 8.1 media would accept 8 keys?

I just bought a used Logitech C170, whose driver comes with that feature. Or claims to, I haven't used it yet myself. So if this is a name-brand cam you have, try the official driver install package to start with. Also, this is beyond your question, but I also have a ~$70 Foscam that will do the same all by itself, with a little flash card tucked into it. doctorfrog fucked around with this message at 19:40 on Jan 27, 2015 |

On 8 (vs 8.1) a lot of system options were exclusively available on the MetroUI. Pick a random control panel item - it was a complete crapshoot over if it would be available on the desktop UI or the metro one. The two systems just weren't compatible at all, so 8.1 has a lot more redundancy to the desktop environment. They're ditching the dual UX in Windows 10 because it's loving stupid.

I reflexively say "gently caress" out loud whenever I try to open the Networking and Sharing Center or whatever and accidentally open the Metro version. It's nice that 8.1 gives you the desktop options, but why keep the Metro apps? Speaking of: Is there a way to disable them at all?

I'm typing this post on the preview and if this counts as dual I'm fine with it. I just hated getting kicked off the desktop to look at a giant purple screen with three options on it. Moving my mouse to the corner of the screen does not make obnoxious poo poo pop up, and although the system control apps are still bad at least they open inside of the desktop.

kalstrams posted:Well if you talk about start menu then yes, but there seems to be more fuckery with split control panel function delegation and fake settings buttons than in 8.1. Also you cant get rid of all poo poo in start menu even if you unpin every app from metro segment. Also that search bar is just laughable, same as search on Windows 10 in general. Windows 7 (or 8.1) search is good. How they managed to gently caress it up is beyond me. Then again, it probably wasn't ~integrated~ and ~networked~ enough or something and anyway let's find a way to pretend people actually use bing and cortana and allocate 200 developers to remaking search

Metro settings or whatever they are called in 10 are really frustrating. Mostly because none of them contain any settings. In most cases, it's just a list of what exists. Open up the wireless networks and it's just a list of networks. Click on one and you get the option to forget that network. Go to devices and it's just a big list of your devices. Click on one and it offers to remove that device. It doesn't even use the icons of the devices, just a default logo for everything. So I have to type in the thing I want in the search to get it. If I could do anything with those screens, I wouldn't mind.

Windows 8 is easy to make usable, but it's a crap user experience by default. Since I work in a job where I'm constantly dealing with machines that aren't mine, "just install classic shell" or whatever isn't really an option, and it's just annoying that there's so many more useless steps to something like opening the control panel compared to windows 7. I find myself just using the search whenever I'm in Win8, because actually clicking through to any sort of settings page from the charms is just a slow cumbersome joke. At least the search actually works quite well. And with 8.1 they fixed it so you don't have to guess which category to search under. Secureboot is also annoying.

kalstrams posted:They've integrated it to their "cloud", yes. Searching for regedit can open reged.it or regedit.us websites, depending on how lucky you are. The cloud is nice and all but keep it the gently caress out of "search for things on this computer" features. Entropic posted:That's my main gripe with win8, they've made it so that the only efficient way to find anything is to do a text search for it. Which is fine and even quite convenient a lot of the time, if you're a fast typer and know what you're looking for. But god help you if you don't know what the thing you're looking for is called. So in essence it's good for people who learned the names of control panel settings in Windows 7 or earlier by heart. "But everyone already knows wandows anyway" can only go so far.
