      This topic should be pinned, really good one.

      I second this! Great list! It would be great to have this pinned and updated periodically.

      @meleu you should add that list of mac specific programs thread to the list also, that was useful for us mac users

            Just when I thought my tinkering was done, I find three things on here I will be implementing tonight. Great post, I second the sticky! Very excited to try out the automatic image launching.

              This obviously couldn't be done too often, but the thread is indeed highly useful and appears to be well received without any objection from other mods or admins, so let's stick a pin in it, as the old saying goes.

                I believe is how the saying goes.
