Yeah, I don't use many applications.
I'm just curious, why do you want to know which applications we use?

It's neat to have these types of threads
I learned about SciTE through one of these threads...

Though all of this is a little pointless. It's more "productive" to ask about specific types of applications. For example, what do you use for an FTP client, compiler/IDE, chat client, WYSIWYG editor, etc. Asking what apps we use most doesn't really make me want to look into them. I have no idea what Sylpheed is, Colloquy, Goldwave, etc.. as I'm sure some people may not know what Daemon Tools is used for or nLite
Since I don't know what they are.. I wont be looking into them.

That is why I linkified my list

Random order:

• FireFox

• Thunderbird

• A Note (Thanks once again ReyBrujo! )

Something I should have mentioned and I'm surprised nobody else mentioned: 7zip!
A very nice freeware compression program that integrates itself quite nicely into explorer's context menu.

That's because http://www.tugzip.com is way better.

I just tried that, and I laugh at you.

The very first thing I did after installing and setting it up was right click, 'Add to:the.simpsons.s15e01.7z...' and BAM...... explorer crashed.

I'll reboot and give it another shot, though...

[edit]
Rebooted. Seems to do that with any file I try to add to an archive (any archive at all) through the context menu. The context menu must not be setup properly - explorer is crashing, not tugzip.

[edit2]
Had to turn off the context menu and turn it back on I guess.
Anyway, it's not bad. A little prettier. Better than 7zip. I take back my laughs.

I never knew cab files compressed so well. I wonder why that is...

TugZip has a very awful feature: double click a file to open Tugzip, then drag one of the files from the GUI to a folder; it will first extract the file from the compressed file to the temporary directory, then move it from there to where you dropped it. For a txt file, it is not a biggie, but for a CD ISO file which is inside a DVD ISO...

(Edited: A friend installed it at work, and indeed, it is broken. You need to go to the preferences and check one of the options that read something like "grouping all the context menu options". That will create a folder in your contextual menu that, once selected, will show you the options you have. That way the context menu works. Never crashed it at home while using Windows because I use that grouping... I hate having 400px tall menues).

RB: That shouldn't be a big issue. Moving a file from a temporary directory to another directory is done in an instant - you're simply changing information in the filesystem, not actually moving any data.

[edit2]
Context menu attached.. I really should trim it down..

Not when your temporary directory is in C: and you want to extract a file in D:

I hope your temp drive is different than your destination folder, because I can move an ISO from anywhere on C to anywhere else instantly.

Edit: Beaten by a few posts.

Ahh, I see what you mean

Put it in its own sub menu; it's better that way.

No particular order:

• Firefox

• X-Chat

• Konsole

• Kate

• Kopete

• KSnapshot

• KCalc

• KView

• Kontact + KMail

• GNU Tar + Gzip + Bzip2

• Unzip

• Bash

• perl

• ncftp

• emerge

• cpan

• nano

Others probably as well.. but these are all I could remember

edit, damn, I forgot a couple important ones

• GCC (C/C++)

• amaroK

ML: I would rather remove delete, rename, create shortcut, the winamp stuff, only leave 2 of the 'Add to...' selections, get rid of search and explore.. yeah, that should do it.

Blah, I forgot about perl, cpan and ncftp... you could group them all together, it is as common as tar + gzip.

By the way, that is why Menu Editor extension for Firefox is a must for me... I hate so many options. At work, my Start menu has four entries, and the Programs has three (Dev, Tools, Internet).

(excluding things like virus scanners and other 'system' programs)
In terms of how often I run these programs per day, it would probably be something like this:

• Firefox

• Thunderbird

• gVim

• Explorer (file explorer)

• Command prompt

• ping

• Remote Desktop

• Guild Wars [or whatever game I happen to be in to]

• 7-Zip

But in terms of time spent using each one, I think just moving Guild Wars to the top would make it right.

all of the gui apps I use have apermanent place on my Kicker bar. the rest are console commands that I can type without thinking

I guess this is a little better.
Had trouble finding rename/delete/etc....

What 7-zip were you using??
Mine looks quite clean.
Those menus are customisable anyway, but that's a bit of a pain I guess. (note: I didn't customise that menu, all I did was install 7-zip)

No, that was tugzip.
The only real benefit seems to be support for more file types.

I like the simplicity of 7zip, but think I might stick with Tugzip for the added features. I just hope I don't run across any more bugs.

This is because 7-zip integrates into FAR, so I use it directly from the file manager. What I am surprised is that it seems nobody else is using FAR..

Because Total Commander does everything FAR does and then some more, and it does it better. It's virtually free too, although it's the right thing to do to pay those few euros...

I use gentoo/suse, os x, and win xp in my day to day life. Quite a mix eh?

Not ordered (also sorry for breaking all the rules)

RSSBandit: best RSS reader for windows. Probably the best one out there "." Akregator and blam are adequate for linux.

gimp -- engineering 460/895. digital image processing. Very programmable and scriptable Out of box. Mostly used matlab for frequency domain though.

mrxvt/bash: mrxvt is based on aterm and rxvt. Nice and light but i like to think of that and bash as a combo. On windows i need bash through cygwin. OS x bash is great too.

matlab,maple: couldn't get very far without these two bad boys!

ssh/sftp: on windows i use putty, psftp. Filezilla also works for sftp.

latex: saves my ass on lab reports. I have a template been using it for years now. NEVER EVER have to worry about formatting again and saves me and my group hours. I don't think i could ever use a word processor again for writeups.

subversion: can't do team projects without it. Also nice to keep homework in sync between my lappy and desky.

firefox: staple on windows and gnome. mac and kde i use konqueror.

thunderbird (windows), mail.app (mac), sylpheed claws 2 (linux), kmail (linux), mutt (ssh). Problems with all of them. not really liking anyone.

gaim: simply awesome. Also use adiumX for os x (uses libgaim but is all mac'd out)

inkscape: i can actually make half-decent looking things in vector drawing. Not so with pixels. Sigh. Been using this since it came from sodipodi.

sharpdevelop: great for c# not as nice as visual studio but free and OSS.

azeureus: torrents (legit ones too )

7zip: awesome!

vlc: use this on mac and windows. totem (gstreamer) /kaffeine (kde xine front-end). Ogle = best dvd player for years. Mplayer if all else fails.

gcc: last but not least. I can't live without this guy (or mingw).

Too bad I'm not behind my own compo right now. The KDE start menu(kmenu?) would instantly tell me what apps I execute most often.

I guess it is something like that:
Firefox
Konsole
Konqueror (hey, it does the job for a file browser, PDF viewer and archive unpacker)
Gaim
kdevelop
GCC/ICC
KCalck
Blender
IVCcon
Standard Procedural Databases creator

I read the whole discussion and liked it... It might have been smart, though, to have started with a rule: no re-runs. So, my list doesn't mention any I already saw.

• TeaTimer

• Windows Picture & Fax Viewer

</li>

You all took the good ones.

Oh, I forgot Xine, and MPlayer.

#1 Opera
#2 Diablo2
#3 Telnet
#4 Azureus
#5 WoW
#6 Ventrilo
#7 Windows Media Player
#8 Dev-C++
#9 Graphics Gale
#10 Notepad

• Firefox

• gVim

• qmp (Quintessential Media Player)

• MSYS

• MinGW

• IZarc

• 7-Zip

• eMule

• GIMP

• MPlayer (plus a frontend)

How could someone play both Diablo 2 and World of Warcraft? Isn't one addicting game enough?

I use VLC or Real Alternative for playing video stuff; the rest were already mentioned.

MSN Messenger
Firefox
Code::Blocks
Programmers Notepad
Command Prompt
Blender
Gimp
IconEdit32
FileZilla
and uhm... GTA San Andreas (well, not so much now that I've finished it, collecting horse shoes and spraying graffiti is kinda boring)

Some of those might be a bit of a stretch as far as frequent use goes. I was surprised how few apps I really use.

The top 6 on my start menu are:

1) notepad - used for quick note taking stuff
2) x-chat - if I restart x-chat or something.... its open all the time just like all my IM
3) internet explorer - quick lightweight browser for trusted sites (when firefox is closed)
4) ms paint - quick screenshot or simple painting
5) calculator - calculations!
6) ms excel - I used to use this to keep track of hosting customers

Everything else is lauched off my quick launch tray and usually kept open. I'd say my top 10 for quicklaunch are, in no special order:
1) Firefox
2) Thunderbird
3) cmd
4) filezilla
5) putty
6) nero
7) winamp
8) ethereal
9) windows media
10) winscp

I almost always have AIM, MSN, GAIM, Google chat, X-Chat, a few explorer windows, firefox, thunderbird, scite, a cmd or two, an IE window, a notepad or two, and winamp open. The only exception is closing the memory eaters, like firefox and thunderbird, if I play a game of UT or something.

Ok, i'd better try this:

• 1: Dev-C++

• 2: Firefox

• 3: The GIMP

• 4: Calculator

• 5: Paint

• 6: Relo

• 7: WinRAM-Booster FREEWARE

• 8: Winamp

• 9: UltimateZip

• 10: SmartFTP

I sold my soul to Blizzard... what can I say?

I've made a whole lot of image editing proglets with Allegro over the past 4 years, now I have a new computer that doesn't do dos/vesa stuff worth messing with, and all the old allegro exe's crash. I'll bet I've recompiled about 15 by now with mingw.

Anyway, I've gone down from using one (without thinking) and having it crash every 10-15 minutes to a couple hours before I run into another one.

Otherwise, it's a list of VDE (an ancient dos editor that my fingers have been trained to use for many years), gcc etc. and a few games when my dual brain cells overheat.

there seems to be alot of Firefox users, how many people will switch to opera now that they have given reg keys away?

Relo, Mozilla, eMule, Total Commander, Miranda, Notepad, BSPlayer

my top 10?

1: firefox (beats out everything else )
2: notepad++ (favorite)
3: dev-cpp (second favorite)
ummmm
ummm
ummm
i think i use Windows Media Player sometimes
ummm
ummm
ummm
open office word
ummm
ummm
ummm
4: thunderbird
uhhhhh
yeah! i don't even use 10 apps:)

EDIT: oh yeah! 7zip.

Why don't you use winamp, it beats out windows media player by a long run.

I preach the gospel of XMPlay myself as I think that both Winamp and WMP are bloated. (inspired by other thread )

My top 10 apps right now are:

1- Guild Wars
2- Teamspeak 2 RC2
3- Conexión a escritorio remoto (the remote desktop thingie, quite interesting this is the 3rd most used app O_O)
4- ACDSee 7 (weird, I haven't used this one in weeks)
5- Notepad
6- GWFreaks
7- Opera
8- MSN Messenger
9- Command prompt
10- Firefox
