FEATURES:
FolderPad: A folder management window

Easily access common system locations with the buttons on the left of the window
Easily manage folders on your PC or mapped network drives from a context menu
Manually add known locations that you can't find in the Folder browser.
Give meaningful names to these locations so they are easy to find in the list, and change them if you want
Sort the entries in the list, putting your most used paths near the top (or bottom)

TrayPad: A scratchpad window

Save notes as you type; easily find notes that load everytime you load Windows
Highlight a URL and right-click to go to the website using your favorite browser
Rename and Sort the tabs so you know exactly where your notes are (Sorting tabs requires .NET Framework 3.5 to function)
If you program, export the selected tab to Notepadpp; even select the syntax highlighting before exporting
Save or print the contents of the currently selected tab

Version 4.7.6 Updates
This is currently the most stable and usable version.
All known bugs and shortcomings have been dealt with and possible issues should be minimal.

4.7.6 - 11/10/09 - Added ability to turn off update notifications. Also rearranged settings and modified the automatic updater executable(SysPad)

Version 4.6.6 Updates

4.6.6 - 10/28/09 - FIXED: Possible bug where saving the program settings on program shutdown would cause the TrayPad coordinates to go to -32000, -32000 and making the TrayPad disappear. If coordinates have been set to this, they will be reset to 0, 0. I will continue to watch to see if the bug persists and try to find out exactly what it is. (TrayPad)

Version 4.6.5 Updates - Biggest update ever!!!

4.6.5 - 09/26/09 - FIXED: New Tab name not displaying in Titlebar when changed (TrayPad)
4.6.4 - 09/03/09 - Allows the Command Prompt option on the toolstrip to be elevated as administrator. (FolderPad)
4.5.4 - 09/03/09 - Added options to change opacity of TrayPad in 10% increments from 30 to 100. Using CTRL-W or CTRL-S, 1% increments are possible. (TrayPad)
4.4.4 - 09/03/09 - Always on Top option placed in File menu option of TrayPad. Shortcut CTRL+T also enables/disables this feature quickly. (TrayPad)
4.3.4 - 09/02/09 - Enabled Maximize button on TrayPad (TrayPad)
4.2.4 - 09/01/09 - FIXED: TrayPad not loading properly with Custom tab names (TrayPad)
4.2.3 - 09/01/09 - FIXED: FolderPad did not hide when clicking on the printers button in the toolstrip (FolderPad)
4.2.2 - 09/01/09 - FIXED: Startup registry entry not deleting when unchecking “Run on Windows startup” in the settings (SysPad)
4.2.1 - 09/01/09 - FIXED: Could add weblinks or files while doing an Edit Path. Used same restriction code as when creating a custom entry to limit to folders. (FolderPad)
4.2.0 - 08/31/09 - Retrieved 16x16 icons for buttons from Win7. They display clearer since they are not 32x32 icons being resized by the program. (FolderPad)
4.1.0 - 08/31/09 - Added version number to About window. (SysPad)
4.0.0 - 08/31/09 - Automatic updater created. SysPad now checks for updates and can download a new installer. (SysPad)

This will allow for changes to be made to SysPad without having to keep track of the program on your own. SysPad will check for a new version everytime it runs, or you can manually check for an update from the Notification Icon. If a new version is found, you can download a new installer which will then run and install the updates to SysPad.
I have a few updates planned for the near future; a few bug fixes and some new features.
Now that I have this though, I wish I would have implemented this sooner :). Better late than never.

Version 3.8.4 Updates

3.8.4 - 07/29/09 - Reenabled the Minimize button (TrayPad)
3.8.3 - 07/28/09 - Can now set TrayPad to display the currently selected tab's text in the titlebar, with or without "TrayPad" (TrayPad)
3.7.3 - 07/27/09 - FIXED: All settings in the Settings window utilize the My.Settings namespace. Between version increments, settings would be lost. Have figured out where the settings are kept and how to have the settings persist between version updates. (SysPad)
3.6.2 - 07/25/09 - Notepadpp executable path is now automatically detected. Notepadpp tab has been removed from Settings. (SysPad)
3.5.2 - 07/21/09 - Better error handling; more Try..Catch and If..Else statements. (SysPad)
3.5.1 - 07/21/09 - Added ability to import and export data. This includes TrayPad pad data and FolderPad locations. (SysPad)
3.4.1 - 07/19/09 - Added many new button choices for the FolderPad toolstrip. In Settings, buttons can be selected to display and the order in which they display. They also are made up of the official icons in Vista for that program. (FolderPad)
3.3.1 - 07/15/09 - F2 has been assigned to Renaming the currently selected folder (FolderPad)
3.2.1 - 07/07/09 - The toolbar on FolderPad that has common system folder can now be docked to the top and bottom of the window as well. Left it off the right side since it is so close to the scrollbar (FolderPad)
3.1.1 - 07/06/09 - Implemented "Snap-To" functionality. When TrayPad or FolderPad are 20 pixels away from the edge of the screen (detects Taskbar) it will attach itself to the edge. (SysPad)
3.0.1 - 07/06/09 - FIXED: checks to be sure Notepadpp and Altap Salamander are still installed at startup, when loading settings, or when opening a folder, if they are set to be used. If these didn't exist, the program would crash. (SysPad)

Version 3.0 Updates

06/26/09 - Implemented launch support for the custom File Explorer, Altap Salamander (SysPad)
06/24/09 - Program Exit, Settings, Help and About windows have been moved from TrayPad to a right-click context menu from the Notification Icon (SysPad)

06/24/09 - Added Separate Color choices for TrayPad and FolderPad (Settings)
06/24/09 - Restructured the Settings window. Now is in Listview format like many popular program option setups (Settings)

06/19/09 - FIXED: After cancelling a custom path, invalid path message would still display. (FolderPad)

Version 2.7 Updates

06/01/09 - Resolved an issue when Vista has UAC turned on, data cannot be written for SysPad. In an attempt to comply with Windows Security standards, data files have been moved to the Application Data folder for the current user. This also removes the need for elevation to use SysPad. (SysPad) (A Benefit of this fix is that each user on a PC will now have their own files load into SysPad on launch of the program.)
06/01/09 - Resolved an issue with the second Pad losing its data. Cause is unknown as I really didn't change any code to resolve it, I just recompiled. :) (TrayPad)

Version 2.6 Updates

05/27/09 - Added ability to insert tab spaces in the pads instead of pressing Tab moving to different controls. (TrayPad)

seraphx2 — Thu, 29 Oct 2009 03:25:52 GMT

Built on the .NET Framework 3.5 using Visual Basic 2008 Professional

PRODUCT REVIEWS:

Easily access common system locations with the buttons on the left of the window
Easily manage folders on your PC or mapped network drives from a context menu
Manually add known locations that you can't find in the Folder browser.
Give meaningful names to these locations so they are easy to find in the list, and change them if you want
Sort the entries in the list, putting your most used paths near the top (or bottom)

TrayPad: A scratchpad window

Save notes as you type; easily find notes that load everytime you load Windows
Highlight a URL and right-click to go to the website using your favorite browser
Rename and Sort the tabs so you know exactly where your notes are (Sorting tabs requires .NET Framework 3.5 to function)
If you program, export the selected tab to Notepadpp; even select the syntax highlighting before exporting
Save or print the contents of the currently selected tab

Version 4.6.6 Updates
This is currently the most stable and usable version.
All known bugs and shortcomings have been dealt with and possible issues should be minimal.

4.6.6 - 10/28/09 - FIXED Possible bug where saving the program settings on program shutdown would cause the TrayPad coordinates to go to -32000, -32000 and making the TrayPad disappear. If coordinates have been set to this, they will be reset to 0, 0. I will continue to watch to see if the bug persists and try to find out exactly what it is. (TrayPad)

Version 4.6.5 Updates - Biggest update ever!!!

4.6.5 - 09/26/09 - FIXED: New Tab name not displaying in Titlebar when changed (TrayPad)
4.6.4 - 09/03/09 - Allows the Command Prompt option on the toolstrip to be elevated as administrator. (FolderPad)
4.5.4 - 09/03/09 - Added options to change opacity of TrayPad in 10% increments from 30 to 100. Using CTRL-W or CTRL-S, 1% increments are possible. (TrayPad)
4.4.4 - 09/03/09 - Always on Top option placed in File menu option of TrayPad. Shortcut CTRL+T also enables/disables this feature quickly. (TrayPad)
4.3.4 - 09/02/09 - Enabled Maximize button on TrayPad (TrayPad)
4.2.4 - 09/01/09 - FIXED: TrayPad not loading properly with Custom tab names (TrayPad)
4.2.3 - 09/01/09 - FIXED: FolderPad did not hide when clicking on the printers button in the toolstrip (FolderPad)
4.2.2 - 09/01/09 - FIXED: Startup registry entry not deleting when unchecking “Run on Windows startup” in the settings (SysPad)
4.2.1 - 09/01/09 - FIXED: Could add weblinks or files while doing an Edit Path. Used same restriction code as when creating a custom entry to limit to folders. (FolderPad)
4.2.0 - 08/31/09 - Retrieved 16x16 icons for buttons from Win7. They display clearer since they are not 32x32 icons being resized by the program. (FolderPad)
4.1.0 - 08/31/09 - Added version number to About window. (SysPad)
4.0.0 - 08/31/09 - Automatic updater created. SysPad now checks for updates and can download a new installer. (SysPad)

3.8.4 - 07/29/09 - Reenabled the Minimize button (TrayPad)
3.8.3 - 07/28/09 - Can now set TrayPad to display the currently selected tab's text in the titlebar, with or without "TrayPad" (TrayPad)
3.7.3 - 07/27/09 - FIXED: All settings in the Settings window utilize the My.Settings namespace. Between version increments, settings would be lost. Have figured out where the settings are kept and how to have the settings persist between version updates. (SysPad)
3.6.2 - 07/25/09 - Notepadpp executable path is now automatically detected. Notepadpp tab has been removed from Settings. (SysPad)

3.4.1 - 07/19/09 - Added many new button choices for the FolderPad toolstrip. In Settings, buttons can be selected to display and the order in which they display. They also are made up of the official icons in Vista for that program. (FolderPad)
3.3.1 - 07/15/09 - F2 has been assigned to Renaming the currently selected folder (FolderPad)
3.2.1 - 07/07/09 - The toolbar on FolderPad that has common system folder can now be docked to the top and bottom of the window as well. Left it off the right side since it is so close to the scrollbar (FolderPad)
3.1.1 - 07/06/09 - Implemented "Snap-To" functionality. When TrayPad or FolderPad are 20 pixels away from the edge of the screen (detects Taskbar) it will attach itself to the edge. (SysPad)
3.0.1 - 07/06/09 - FIXED: checks to be sure Notepadpp and Altap Salamander are still installed at startup, when loading settings, or when opening a folder, if they are set to be used. If these didn't exist, the program would crash. (SysPad)

06/24/09 - Added Separate Color choices for TrayPad and FolderPad (Settings)
06/24/09 - Restructured the Settings window. Now is in Listview format like many popular program option setups (Settings)

06/19/09 - FIXED: After cancelling a custom path, invalid path message would still display. (FolderPad)

Version 2.7 Updates

06/01/09 - Resolved an issue when Vista has UAC turned on, data cannot be written for SysPad. In an attempt to comply with Windows Security standards, data files have been moved to the Application Data folder for the current user. This also removes the need for elevation to use SysPad. (SysPad) (A Benefit of this fix is that each user on a PC will now have their own files load into SysPad on launch of the program.)
06/01/09 - Resolved an issue with the second Pad losing its data. Cause is unknown as I really didn't change any code to resolve it, I just recompiled. :) (TrayPad)

Version 2.6 Updates

Easily access common system locations with the buttons on the left of the window
Easily manage folders on your PC or mapped network drives from a context menu
Manually add known locations that you can't find in the Folder browser.
Give meaningful names to these locations so they are easy to find in the list, and change them if you want
Sort the entries in the list, putting your most used paths near the top (or bottom)

TrayPad: A scratchpad window

Save notes as you type; easily find notes that load everytime you load Windows
Highlight a URL and right-click to go to the website using your favorite browser

4.0.0 - 08/31/09 - Automatic updater created. SysPad now checks for updates and can download a new installer. (SysPad)
This will allow for changes to be made to SysPad without having to keep track of the program on your own. SysPad will check for a new version everytime it runs, or you can manually check for an update from the Notification Icon. If a new version is found, you can download a new installer which will then run and install the updates to SysPad.
I have a few updates planned for the near future; a few bug fixes and some new features.
Now that I have this though, I wish I would have implemented this sooner :). Better late than never.

Version 3.8.4 Updates

3.8.4 - 07/29/09 - Reenabled the Minimize button (TrayPad)
3.8.3 - 07/28/09 - Can now set TrayPad to display the currently selected tab's text in the titlebar, with or without "TrayPad" (TrayPad)

3.0.1 - 07/06/09 - FIXED: checks to be sure Notepadpp and Altap Salamander are still installed at startup, when loading settings, or when opening a folder, if they are set to be used. If these didn't exist, the program would crash. (SysPad)

Built on the .NET Framework 3.5 using Visual Basic 2008 Professional

PRODUCT REVIEWS:

Easily access common system locations with the buttons on the left of the window
Easily manage folders on your PC or mapped network drives from a context menu
Manually add known locations that you can't find in the Folder browser.
Give meaningful names to these locations so they are easy to find in the list, and change them if you want
Sort the entries in the list, putting your most used paths near the top (or bottom)

TrayPad: A scratchpad window

Save notes as you type; easily find notes that load everytime you load Windows
Highlight a URL and right-click to go to the website using your favorite browser
Rename and Sort the tabs so you know exactly where your notes are (Sorting tabs requires .NET Framework 3.5 to function)
If you program, export the selected tab to Notepadpp; even select the syntax highlighting before exporting
Save or print the contents of the currently selected tab

Version 3.8.4 Updates - This is currently the most stable and usable version.

FolderPad: A folder management window

Easily access common system locations with the buttons on the left of the window
Easily manage folders on your PC or mapped network drives from a context menu
Manually add known locations that you can't find in the Folder browser.
Give meaningful names to these locations so they are easy to find in the list, and change them if you want
Sort the entries in the list, putting your most used paths near the top (or bottom)

Version 3.6.2 Updates - This is currently the most stable and usable version.
All known bugs and shortcomings have been dealt with and possible issues should be minimal.

3.7.3 - 07/25/09 - FIXED: All settings in the Settings window utilize the My.Settings namespace. Between version increments, settings would be lost. Have figured out where the settings are kept and how to have the settings carry over between version updates. (SysPad)
3.6.2 - 07/25/09 - Notepadpp executable path is now automatically detected. Notepadpp tab has been removed from Settings. (SysPad)

3.3.1 - 07/15/09 - F2 has been assigned to Renaming the currently selected folder (FolderPad)
3.2.1 - 07/07/09 - The toolbar on FolderPad that has common system folder can now be docked to the top and bottom of the window as well. Left it off the right side since it is so close to the scrollbar (FolderPad)
3.1.1 - 07/06/09 - Implemented "Snap-To" functionality. When TrayPad or FolderPad are 20 pixels away from the edge of the screen (detects Taskbar) it will attach itself to the edge. (SysPad)
3.0.1 - 07/06/09 - FIXED: checks to be sure Notepadpp and Altap Salamander are still installed at startup, when loading settings, or when opening a folder, if they are set to be used. If these didn't exist, the program would crash. (SysPad)

(SysPad) (A Benefit of this fix is that each user on a PC will now have their own files load into SysPad on launch of the program.)
06/01/09 - Resolved an issue with the second Pad losing its data. Cause is unknown as I really didn't change any code to resolve it, I just recompiled. :) (TrayPad)

Official Serysoft Twitter updates: http://www.twitter.com/serysoft
Get updates to SysPad and any other Serysoft products via Twitter.

FEATURES:
TrayPad: A Notepad-esque window

Save notes as you type; easily find notes that load everytime you load Windows
Highlight a URL and right-click to go to the website using your favorite browser
Rename and Sort the tabs so you know exactly where your notes are (Sorting tabs requires .NET Framework 3.5 to function)
If you program, export the selected tab to Notepadpp; even select the syntax highlighting before exporting
Save or print the contents of the currently selected tab

FolderPad: A folder management window

Easily access common system locations (e.g. My Computer, Program Files, etc.) with the buttons on the left of the window
Easily manage folders on your PC or mapped network drives from a context menu
Manually add known locations that you can't find in the Folder browser.
Give meaningful names to these locations so they are easy to find in the list, and change them if you want
Sort the entries in the list, putting your most used paths near the top (or bottom)

Version 3.6.2 Updates - This is currently the most stable and usable version.
All known bugs and shortcomings have been dealt with and possible issues should be minimal.

3.6.2 - 07/25/09 - Notepadpp executable path is now automatically detected. Notepadpp tab has been removed from Settings. (SysPad)
3.5.2 - 07/21/09 - Better error handling; more Try..Catch and If..Else statements. (SysPad)
3.5.1 - 07/21/09 - Added ability to import and export data. This includes TrayPad pad data and FolderPad locations. (SysPad)
3.4.1 - 07/19/09 - Added many new button choices for the FolderPad toolstrip. In Settings, buttons can be selected to display and the order in which they display. They also are made up of the official icons in Vista for that program. (FolderPad)
3.3.1 - 07/15/09 - F2 has been assigned to Renaming the currently selected folder (FolderPad)
3.2.1 - 07/07/09 - The toolbar on FolderPad that has common system folder can now be docked to the top and bottom of the window as well. Left it off the right side since it is so close to the scrollbar (FolderPad)
3.1.1 - 07/06/09 - Implemented "Snap-To" functionality. When TrayPad or FolderPad are 20 pixels away from the edge of the screen (detects Taskbar) it will attach itself to the edge. (SysPad)
3.0.1 - 07/06/09 - FIXED: checks to be sure Notepadpp and Altap Salamander are still installed at startup, when loading settings, or when opening a folder, if they are set to be used. If these didn't exist, the program would crash. (SysPad)

Version 3.0 Updates

06/26/09 - Implemented launch support for the custom File Explorer, Altap Salamander (SysPad)
06/24/09 - Program Exit, Settings, Help and About windows have been moved from TrayPad to a right-click context menu from the Notification Icon (SysPad)
06/24/09 - Changed basic functionality of SysPad. Instead of right and left click events bringing up FolderPad and TrayPad respectively, you can now define, in the Settings, which window is the default window to open upon double-clicking the Notification Icon (SysPad)
06/24/09 - Added Separate Color choices for TrayPad and FolderPad (Settings)
06/24/09 - Restructured the Settings window. Now is in Listview format like many popular program option setups (Settings)
06/23/09 - FIXED: Added Ability to manually remove Notepadpp path (Settings)
06/19/09 - FIXED: Resize drawing issues. (SysPad)
06/19/09 - FIXED: After cancelling a custom path, invalid path message would still display. (FolderPad)

Version 2.7 Updates

06/01/09 - Resolved an issue when Vista has UAC turned on, data cannot be written for SysPad. In an attempt to comply with Windows Security standards, data files have been moved to the Application Data folder for the current user. This also removes the need for elevation to use SysPad. (SysPad) (A Benefit of this fix is that each user on a PC will now have their own files load into SysPad on launch of the program.)
06/01/09 - Resolved an issue with the second Pad losing its data. Cause is unknown as I really didn't change any code to resolve it, I just recompiled. :) (TrayPad)
