Saturday, November 8th, 2008

A new foobar2000 beta just got released: 0.9.6 beta 4.

Just as I was downloading the new beta, I decided to take advantage and test the portable install option. It seems to have worked perfectly, and it’s now playing happily my favorite 4hero album :)

The process is pretty straightforward (a few screens are included below).

Update: SecureCRT 6.1.2

Friday, November 7th, 2008

VanDyke Software dropped a maintenance SecureCRT release today, fixing a few bugs. Nothing really major, mostly compatibility issues and minor annoyances (including one related to scripting).

No screenshots this time, just check the changelog below and download links info even “more below”.

WHAT’S NEW IN SECURECRT 6.1.2
Changes:
- SSH2: In the session .INI file, if the GEX Preferred Size was set to 2046, it will be changed to 2048 in order to be compatible with Cisco IOS 12.4 or later.

Bug fixes:
- If a script was specified on the command line, SecureCRT was in a hung state after the script executed.
- With ANSI color enabled, if a color escape sequence was received, only the portion of the row that contained characters was correctly displayed.
- SSH2: In an SFTP tab, if the connection was lost and a put command was issued, SecureCRT crashed.

New entry: ImgBurn – the Ultimate Image Burner

Wednesday, November 5th, 2008

It would be unfair not to feature my favorite burning software on WorthInstalling, so here’s a new entry in the catalog: ImgBurn.

The interface is quite simple (nearly everything happens in a single window), but it enables quick access to a lot of the program’s features through handy icon buttons.

Its drive and media support are excellent. I’ve used it with Samsung, Pioneer, LG and NEC drives and it’s worked flawlessly. I only had a problem with a DVD+RW rewritable disc which ImgBurn wanted to erase over and over again.

Check out a few screenshots below. The latest version is 2.4.2.0 and you can download it at the bottom of this post.

Tip: SecureCRT scripting primer

Saturday, November 1st, 2008

SecureCRT scriptingBeside being an excellent SSH client, SecureCRT also has a few “hidden” features such as scripting.

Since SecureCRT supports ActiveX scripting engines, scripts can be written in VBScript, JScript or other compliant languages.
Many aspects of the application can be controlled by using scripts, including the user interface, printing, file transfers, dialog prompts and so on.

Here’s a script that sets the tab title to SERVER_IP:SERVER_PORT immediately after a connection is established.

How to use the script:
- Create a new empty text file
- You can name the file whatever you want, as long as the file extension is “.vbs”
- Copy and paste the code below inside the file
- Save and close
- Open the properties dialog for the session you want to test

Sub Main
Dim mytab
Set mytab = crt.getTab(crt.getTabCount)
mytab.caption = mytab.Session.RemoteAddress+":"+CStr(mytab.Session.RemotePort)
End Sub

For more information about scripting in SecureCRT, see the FAQ on Vandyke’s site and the documentation included with the program.
