KDE is a great desktop environment and its killer feature has always been the great level of customization that you can perform. In this post I look at adding support for MD5, SHA256 and other file checksum operations to the right-click context menu. This will allow you to do an MD5sum or SHA256sum of ISO images or other files right from within the GUI.

InFormEnter Firefox extension
InFormEnter is a firefox extension that allows you to quickly enter text into a form field. Once installed it shows an icon against every form field. Clicking on that icon displays a menu containing previously saved text snippets that you can enter into the form field with a single click. It also displays the option to add to the menu any content that you have manually typed into the form field.
InFormEnter is a firefox extension that allows you to easily add predefined text snippets to any web form.
InFormEnter is simple to use and makes it easy to fill out forms by storing commonly used values like your name or email address. You can use it to quickly fill out website registration forms, directory submission forms or any other commonly used form on the Internet. InFormEnter also allows you to create seperate profiles of text snippets.
Keeping a window always on top
A simple free program that I often use is ontop. On top makes a window always stay on top of other windows. This is useful if you want to copy things from one window to another or if you want to look at two documents simultaneously.
Ontop works very easily. You run it either manually or place a shortcut to it in your start menu startup folder and it will run on windows startup. When running ontop displays a small icon in the system tray. Using it is very simple. Just right click on a window title bar and you’ll see the new option "Always on top". Click on that and your window will never be buried. Click it again to make it function like all other windows.
