HDR Profile

A tool to toggle HDR mode based on the running or focused application.

 

Shotcut.
https://shotcut.org/
Free open source video editor. It has a very decent set of features and it is by far more stable than Kdenlive.
I used it in the past months with great satisfaction.

 

This is pretty good but I don't understand the vertical tab flyout. Is it just clicking on it and it shows the tabs as a list? It would be great if the dev implements the vertical tabs feature that Edge has.

 

yep thanks a lot

 

In my search for a Win 11 volume control alternative, found this:
https://github.com/dvingerh/tb-vol-scroll

Allows you to click anywhere on taskbar and use mouse wheel to control volume.

 

does that anyway now

 

They improved it with updates, but still not as convenient as W10. In 11, you (1) click on the volume icon to expand it, then (2) move the cursor to the slider to adjust volume. In W10, you dont have that extra 2nd step.

This one is more convenient than both. You can just hover the cursor anywhere on taskbar and adjust volume directly (no extra clicks).

 

on insider you just hover over it and move mouse wheel

 

I don't know if it's been mentioned but users of Open Hardware monitor which seemed to stall dev wise now has a fork.

I haven't tried it yet but I always like the OpenHardware monitor graph system, I wish HWinfo64 would have similar option.

 

FX Sound. Equalizer and audio enhancement tool. Used to be payware but is now free.

My favorite free uninstaller: HiBit Uninstaller, imho best free uninstaller and for sure it beats some (if not most of the) commercial solutions. Clean UI, easy to use. Regularly updated, sometimes even two times per week. It exists as installer and also as portable, I'm using only portable, easy automatic updates (even for portable version). It's been a while since I've ditched free Geek Uninstaler because of this one, never looked back, HiBit Uninstaller cleans app traces that Geek Uninstaller can't see and probably never will. I suggest running it as administrator.

A Viewer For Windows 2.0 made by Rob Latour
Fast and easy to learn, yet powerful tool for most common picture editing tasks.



A Viewer for Windows is a free program which lets you easily view, change and save images.

It's especially useful when you need to work with other desktop applications while viewing an original or changed image.

With A Viewer for Windows you can:

quickly open an image,

level, rotate, pan, zoom and crop it,

change its brightness, contrast, gamma, saturation, opacity,

transparency and colors (including inverting them), convert it

to grayscale, plus create and apply your own custom effects

such as embossing, sharpening and bluring.

The changed and original images can be viewed side by side, or one over the other, with the program automatically syncing them
as they are panned, zoomed and rotated.

Additionally, A Viewer for Windows can keep itself on top of other applications, ensuring your work is viewable at all times.

When you're done working, your image can be saved to a file or your clipboard.

A Viewer for Windows integrates with A Ruler for Windows (also free), as well as Microsoft's Snipping and Magnify tools (both of which come with Windows).
