A great productivity boost + opening up to the internet

Setupesc pre-release, Version released on October 22nd 2018

We are very exited about this project and want to share it with the world so we created a website!

File manipulation changes

Most of the time spent in front of a computer will be spent manipulating files, you need to create your file, the name it, then open it, you might want to import or copy paste some data from another place so that means extra time lost in the directory weds. We identified this problem and say no more!

Normally to create a new file you open the desired folder, then right click, name it, if you use any special file format you need to modify the filename to add the file extension then hit enter and then you can begin working with your file. This changes today, now as soon as you open the folder you can press 'ALT + n' and it will prompt you to write the name of a new file, you are free to write the name of the file with the extension (for example 'doctoral-thesis.docx') and as soon as you press enter the file will be created in the current location and the newly created file will be opened right away with the default editor.

  • added shortcut for instantly creating and opening a new file.
