  • Feedback Forum for Window Clippings

    Window Clippings has always been very much driven by the feedback I receive from the community. Up till now I have received that feedback primarily via email and comments on my blog.

    As I work on version 3 I thought I should try and make this a bit more manageable and open so I’ve set up a Feedback Forum for Window Clippings. I’ve also seeded it with a few suggestions. I still need to go through all my emails and comments and add various other suggestions that I’ve received but hopefully this is enough to get things started as far as the forum is concerned. I obviously can’t guarantee that every suggestion will turn into a product feature but you can bet that popular suggestions will seriously be considered for inclusion.

    Please add suggestions and vote!

In subsequent posts I’ll talk more about the individual features but you can probably guess at a lot of what’s coming up based on what’s in these screenshots. These screenshots are taken on a high resolution screen at 120 DPI so they may appear a bit larger than usual if you’re using the default scaling.

  • Send your Window Clippings to ImageShack

    Maximilian Krauß recently sent me an add-in he wrote for uploading images to ImageShack. I’d never heard of the ImageShack service before but it turns out you can upload and host images for free and without needing to create an account. As you can see, the add-in itself provides no settings:

  • Windows Vista Performance Tuning

    Microsoft recently published a document entitled Windows Vista Performance and Tuning. It collects much of the “common knowledge” about optimizing the performance of Windows Vista into a single document. This is a great reference if you’re not that familiar with Vista and want some ideas on how to improve its performance. It’s by no means a complete list but hits on some of the most effective and easily adjusted settings.
