CybTekSol Posted March 15, 2009 Report Share Posted March 15, 2009 @FranciscoR, That's a curiously LONG 'category value' string; is this an 'all inclusive' list of the categories that you currently use from which you can select by a highlight-delete for ones unwanted? Just wondering? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FranciscoR Posted March 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2009 Yep, I just had to share. =D I simply remove the categories I will not be using, no need to go to the edit window anymore. I've actually updated the majority of my templates with it. It does look foolish, but it works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FranciscoR Posted March 16, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2009 How nice ! =D You must have a dedicated HDD just for DLs. I have only 15% of that... =( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CybTekSol Posted March 18, 2009 Report Share Posted March 18, 2009 You must have a dedicated HDD just for DLs. Actually FranciscoR, I have 1.8 Terabytes of FreeNAS and Ubuntu Server storage mapped to ALL my PCs, Macs, and BSD/Linux boxes (10+) with nearly two decades of app downloads... all the way back to early DOS days! Uh-Oh... I'm giving away my age again... now you know why my fractured ribs are so slowwww... to heal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FranciscoR Posted March 18, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2009 (edited) Tera... I still use Giga... maybe someday. =) But I always use a more simple and easy to read directory structure... you don't update all those subcategories every day, do you ? Part of that archive must be 'dead', what you can do is to select the main categories/subcategories you will be using with each template and place them under 'values'. That's what I do. For instance, not listed in here are my TC addons, drivers, tax and finantial software, browsers, as well as 'test' category... virtualization, recovery and backup are redundant for the moment... You can have for instance a simple template/category 'value' variation for each OS flavor... Edited March 18, 2009 by FranciscoR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CybTekSol Posted March 19, 2009 Report Share Posted March 19, 2009 @FranciscoR, It's easier for me to do it this way because I almost never delete the previous download but mirror/move them to my archive folder which has the same structure. Right now, I use ~80% of the categories with 1000+ active apps and this is growing almost every day. Eventually, not only will I use all of them, I expect they will grow when I finally convert/transfer my two decades of downloads to the same archive folder structure. Obviously, this will take a considerable amount of time so I am shooting for sometime this year... maybe! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
