Project Manager

It's my turn to give something back to this great community.  It's a single-file utility (no installation required) that makes working with many projects easier. I'm only releasing the executable at this time though. 

I've been using it for quite some time and don't like to work without it. I hope you find it useful as well. Regretfully, I am only supporting Windows XP and above.

Comments and suggestions are welcome.

Updated the Attachment 3/6/10 to remove the typo Jim discovered.

David,

Can you give a little more detail exactly what it does? Please don't take this wrong but I for one am timid of downloading an app if I don't know if i need or want it. Plus I don't need clutter.

It scans a folder of your choice, looking for FF project files.  It adds each one to a search-able listview.  You can select which project to open and what to open it with.  You can do the same for the Main CodeGen file. It makes it easy to find a certain project and access it in several ways.  It also has my own resizing routines. Look for more complete demo of that in the near future.

I have attached a screen shot to give you an idea of what to expect.

Douglas, No clutter here.  Don't like it? - delete the single file. If you run it one-last-time first, and change the settings storage-location option to "Don't save settings" (it's off by default), it will clean up the meager INI file/Reg entry it made for itself.

Jim, I would hazard a guess that you have seen less than 1% of the source code for the executables on your machine.   I know I haven't. Would it help calm your nerves if I charged you for the software? (Heheheh) No offense meant... and none taken.

I've been around since the late 90's (on the PowerBasic forums) and I remember Paul first telling us about 'PowerGUI', as he called it then, in 2001.  Like a lot of other people, I couldn't wait for him to get to a point where he could let us try it.  I've been a proud owner of FF, F2 and now FF3.  I assure you that my only interest is in promoting FF and would never offer you any software that I don't fully trust or wouldn't use myself.

Sorry, I saw "Junior Member" and "my turn to give something back to this great community" and was shocked when there was no source code.  My bad.  Stupid expectations always get in the way.

No harm, no foul.

[FOR PAUL]  I noticed in the strings output from projmgr.exe a typo; somewhere in FireFly it has "FireFly Verson3.x".

You are giving credit to Paul for my typo. 

I hope he reads all the way to here before looking for it.
I fixed it in the first post.
