Fred, we need an update
We need an update, it's getting quiet in here again. Give us some juicy info to talk about

Re: Fred, we need an update
OK, here's what I've been working on the last couple of days:
2Browse is a technician tool that can be used as both a web browser and a file explorer. It can also be used as an FTP client as explained in this topic. It's very small and light, and can't be hijacked with toolbars and ad-ons.
It will be available as part of UVK and TTS, and also as a free portable separate app.
2Browse does not have all the functionality of a real web browser nor is it supposed to. It is intended to be used when the browsers or the shell are infected or working too slow, or simply because we like to use it.
I actually find it very useful, especially the Current user programs and All users programs links. Those link to the Start menu/All programs folders, no longer available in the start menu since Windows 8.
Sometimes when we need to find a program we don't remember the name those become really useful.

Re: Fred, we need an update
Fred, I like the browser. I'm using it right now actually. I have only seen one major issue with. On Windows 10 (at least), the bottom part of the window is behind the task bar so that you cant see the whole window while full screen.
I've been using it for about 30 min now and I like it. Is this basically how it will be or are you planning to add more features to it? Sometimes simplicity is not a bad thing

Re: Fred, we need an update
Thanks, Jim. I'm using Windows 10 too, but I didn't notice that issue because I have my task ar set to auto-hide. I'll try to fix that.

Re: Fred, we need an update
So far it looks pretty good Fred J. You gotta try it.

Re: Fred, we need an update
I like it as well and think the current user programs and all users’ programs links will be pretty handy. I’m using Windows 10 x64 and am not having an issue with the taskbar hiding the bottom of the window.

Re: Fred, we need an update
OK, I just rebooted my tablet and it did not change on there so I downloaded it on my laptop. It does the same thing on it even though it has a higher resolution than my tablet or 2in1.
Just wanted to update you on new details. After Bill said it worked fine for him I just wanted to verify it actually had an issue for me

Re: Fred, we need an update
Nice. Is there any chance that being able to pass credentials for password protected webpages will be added in the future? i.e. http://isurf2.com/utils
Re: Fred, we need an update
Jim & Bill.The task bar issue is fixed.Quite a headache. It was not the window hiding behind the task bar. It was the browser control that was bigger than the main windows, and the web page apeared cropped.
Brnk: It's fixed. Thanks for reporting.
Same download link.

Re: Fred, we need an update
Last update for today, and probably for the week. The app now supports drag and drop of files and folders in the address bar. Dropped files are automatically opened. This way, supported files are opened by the browser itself. Those are HTML files, pictures, text files ad XML files. Files can also be opened by dragging them to the application icon, or using the Open With context menu to open them with 2Browse.
Other than that, fixed the bug of automatically starting maximized, removed the annoying navigation sounds, and improved FTP support. I plan to add more features in the near future.

Re: Fred, we need an update
So, just in regards to this browser software. Was wondering if it ran like Techtools, or UVK where updates could be pushed directly to the browser (Whether start page links change, or are updated).
This way, we dont have to download the exe from the website, if updates are pushed.

Re: Fred, we need an update
WRC, 2Browse does not have auto-updates yet. But it will be part of the Tech Tool Store tools where it is automatically updated. You can run it from there. I will release a new version of TTS today, containing several new tools and features.

Inbuilt adblocker would be nice.
Re: Fred, we need an update
Since Fred has ads on this site, I seriously doubt you will get that from him. Personally, I have refrained from asking that adblock-plus be added to techtool store. I do think that would be an awesome addition to this browser and to TTS though. I just don't see it happening.
