Year, month, day, then a short description. I converted eight years of files. Honest account. Fixed Sorting by name is now sorting by time everywhere : any file manager, a phone, a network share, inside a zip, in…
I am reasonably good at fixing things once they break and completely useless at the small maintenance that stops them breaking. What I would like is the short list the jobs that take a few minutes, that almost nobody…
