Darkspire -> Your Favorite Free Tool Programs (10/12/2013 9:45:59 AM)

I was wondering what programs folks use for doing music editing, modding, art etc and whether they could post on here what they use, only free programs though, not shareware or nagware.

My top four would be:

Irfanview Image manipulator.

DupDetector Find duplicate images quickly and easily, really great when you do a lot of digital photography.

TagScanner Music file tag editor, constantly updated and improved, very professional piece of software.

Universal Extractor An extractor for compressed file formats.

Thanks

Darkspire

Paint.net is really good graphics and image manipulation freeware

My top five:

MS Visual C++ Express (C++ compiler):

http://microsoft-visual-cpp-express.soft32.com/

You have to register it, but after that it’s cool. I’m currently making heavy use of it. There are more powerful versions that cost money, but whatever extra features they provide I have yet to need.


The “GIMP” (Image Manipulation):

http://www.gimp.org/downloads/

A poor man’s version of Photoshop.


Filezilla (Client FTP server):

https://filezilla-project.org/

For when you have to download that ginormous file – like the last update of TOAW.


XML Pad (XML editor):

http://xmlpad.soft32.com/

For editing TOAW’s various .xml files.


Nvu (Website design):

http://nvu.en.softonic.com/download

I’ve actually designed my TOAW website, just haven’t found a free place to host it yet.

Blender is absolutely brilliant, I would love to get better at that, I tried the yellow submarine tutorial last year and I just could not devote enough time to get used to the UI.

XML looks a bit out of my league, I am quite happy writing HTML and use TextPad for that, as you can edit multiple files its a breeze switching between the various sections. That NVU though I must have a look at, I use an old version of NetFusion (7 I think), like me it likes HTML and it is very easy to get a layout going then dive in with code to tighten it up.
