hi all...
i want to download one of the open source image editors.
I was originally using GIMP, but it is not too new and the interface is sorta boring.
Is there an editor that you guys could recommend?
thanks

Editing thread OPs vs. creating them

I understand forcing users to preview a new thread OP before creating the thread. In fact, I agree with it. However, this behavior should not be applied when editing the OP. The "Delete" button is right where the "Submit" button used to be. I almost deleted one of my threads! Moreover, once a thread is created, is it really necessary to apply this restriction to the post?

I am trying to put several portable apps menus on my installation and noticed that every menu shows every other menu. I tried putting all menu variations inside the PortableAppsMenu folder only to discover that it might lead to several menus using same files and folders with different contents.

Trying to put the menu's one folder deeper doesn't work.

What executable can I try that will be ignored by other menu's?

i've noticed a problem when going between my home computer and school computer. when i'm on my home computer, my usb drive is G:, but at school it's F:. i installed apps on my home computer, so they went to drive G:, but when i go to school i can't load any of my apps unless i change all the properties to drive F:. is there any way around that.

Virus proof your USB drive???

Hi everybody!!! um,, this is my first post here so be gentle Smile
anyway um i was surfing the web one day and i stumbled upon an interesting topic. anyway from what i understood you could supposedly "virus proof" your usb drive by putting a read only and "undeletable?" copy of autorun.inf file in the root directory of your USB drive. the reason is so that the virus cant write its own copy of autorun.inf and start executing its files or whatever. anyway im a complete noob when it comes to computer stuff so if this post doesnt make sense the my bad Blum

Is my USB fast enough?

Hi i am planning to buy a USB flash stick and wondered if the speeds were ok not just for portable apps but other stuff here are the specs

# Read Speed: 10.5MB/S (70X)
# Write speed: 7.24MB/s (48X)

It is quite cheap so i am planning to buy it ( $25 )

Thanks in advance Smile
