TooManyTabs – Tab Management Extension for Chrome

Ever tried having 25 tabs or more open in Chrome? You can’t even see the favicon of the tabs, not to mention the tab titles! With so many tabs open, you can’t even remember what you have open on which tab. TooManyTabs is a must-have chrome extension that manages your tabs, reduces your tab overflow, and saves your sanity!

TooManyTabs has been one of the most popular extensions for Firefox and the makers have now ported it onto Google Chrome. TMT for Chrome comes with these features -

- Birdeye view of all tabs open across all windows
- Preview of each tab (filled up gradually)
- Instant tab search upon opening
- Tab sorting by time, name and URL
- Tab count to warn you of tab overflow
- Allows “suspension” of tabs to a column and “restore” later to reduce overflow of tabs
- Provides a list of Recently Closed Tabs for guiltless tab closing

Click the extension’s toolbar button (or tap control + ~) and the window above appears. Not only does it present thumbnails of all your open tabs, but there’s also a search option and three ways to sort: alphabetically, by tab creation time, and grouped by website. Here is the official demo video

InstallShield LE for Visual Studio 2010 (Beta) now available

Visual Studio 2010 (currently in beta) includes an "InstallShield 2010" project template in the "Setup and Deployment" category. Back then the link didn’t work, but now it’s live. From the "InstallShield Limited Edition for Microsoft Visual Studio 2010" page you can now download a setup package. Registration is required before you can start the download, and my standard Flexera privacy caveat applies: Anyone who knows your e-mail address can retrieve the other information you entered in this form, like your real name, phone number, company name, city and country.

ISLE-Registration

According to the download page: "InstallShield Limited Edition for Visual Studio 2010 replaces the functionality provided by the Visual Studio Installer tool. It provides a subset of the world-class functionality found in our more advanced InstallShield editions.". Note that installing InstallShield LE doesn’t remove the Visual Studio Installer (VSI) project type, but it offers an alternative.

ISLE-Solution-ExplorerNow the interesting question is what subset of the full InstallShield functionality is included in the Limited Edition, and what has been removed? I haven’t seen this officially documented, so here are the most notable differences I found so far. (In this screen shot of Solution Explorer you can see the disabled views marked with a lock symbol)

  • You are limited to one InstallShield project type, probably the equivalent to "Basic MSI". Other project types like Merge Module, InstallScript or Smart Device are not included.
  • You cannot customize the Feature structure of your setup. So you are limited to one feature, similar to VSI.
  • There are no localization options. Multi language setups are only supported in the Premier edition of InstallShield.
  • Text File Changes and XML File Changes views are disabled.
  • SQL Scripts and COM registration are unavailable.
  • Billboards and Support Files can’t be specified.
  • Dependency Scanners are not included (but it’s always better to know your runtime dependencies than having a machine trying to guess)
  • The Patch Design view is also been locked.

While some more important and some less important functionality has been disabled in the Limited Edition, InstallShield LE still offers some advantages compared to Visual Studio Installer:

  • Prerequiste installation to pre-install packages like the .NET Framework or Internet Explorer 8.
  • INI File Changes and Environment Variables views.
  • IIS configuration view.
  • More dialogs to chose from, but only limited customization options (similar to InstallShield Express).
  • Slightly more custom action scheduling options, but by far not equivalent to the full InstallShield version. Essentially you can call a custom action at the beginning or at the end of the UI sequence, or in the Execute sequence after RegisterProduct. In VSI you can’t insert custom actions in the UI sequence at all.
  • More customization options for Major Upgrades (in the "Upgrade Paths" view)

New Features : Google Docs

File-7

This is the first time google has added something Useful in relevance of Google Docs so as to provide better sorting.Untill now it just had sorting according to the "Last date modified", Now you can  sort is according to Date,Relevance and star rating.

This has improved search technique which can search within the doc and can even look for synonyms and has automatic stemming too.So if you search for "check account", we’ll also include results for a few variations of those words, including "checking account" (which is what you probably meant to type). Or if you search for "mac book", we’ll also include results for "macbook".

 

Export all your files

This is a upgradation to recently added new feature "export…" Now they have added a new feature called "Export all" which allows you export all your docs (up to 2GB at a time) with one click. This is the equivalent of almost 100,000 Google Docs.

File-8


You can also export a single file and email it to anyone you’d like in a single step. Once you select an item, click "Share" and select "Email as attachment…". Then pick which format (PDF, MS Office, etc.) you want to use to send the item, compose your email, and  send it.
