MKV (Matroska Multimedia Container) is an increasingly popular video format. In some cases we need to extract the resources from MKV video so as to obtain the video, audio and subtitles inside separately for other use. For example, make an audio version of a film/TV play; edit, modify, or translate the subtitles (and then use MKVToolNix to repack them all). At this time, we can use MKVExtractGUI this tiny app to solve the requirement perfectly.

Although the time display in the system tray is essentially on the desktop, its dimension is too small and cannot achieve the effects provided by many 3rd-party desktop clocks - letting you notice the presence and elapse of time in every moment of the day.

CSV (short for Comma Separated Values) is a plain text file format that uses comma, Tab or other delimiters to separate the file content. It's very common to use a .csv file to store the tabular data. For example, a lot of small programs use the CSV file to keep their configuration and data. In general, the most convenient way to view and edit a CSV file is really to use Microsoft Excel. However, it has a disadvantage - the edited and saved CSV file format is not UTF-8 by default. And, most of other third-party CSV editors do not support UTF-8 format well either.

A few days before I wrote this post, my laptop keyboard had at least 9 keys broken due to water splashing. In the meantime, I first used the Keyboard Map Tool to temporarily modify the key mapping of those broken keys in order to continue to use this keyboard constrainedly. Afterwards, I found this Keyboard Test Utility, which helped me determine all the broken keys. In the end, I also use it to test the validity of all keys on my newly-bought USB external keyboard.

As of this writing, the T, Y, Tab, Caps Lock, number 5, left Shift, left Win, [, ], and Backspace keys on my laptop's keyboard do not work due to water leakage. Before buying a new external USB or wireless keyboard, I thought of and really tried some keyboard keys remapping tools for the first time. After simply testing KeybMap and KeyTweak, I did prefer the former (although the latter is more powerful), and could not wait to recommend it to everyone.

Software developers or other computer product makers often encounter this situation: there are multiple versions for the same file, the problem is how to effectively manage and distribute them (for end-users)? If this is the case, I think SmartVersion can help you a lot. We can think of it as a storage, packaging and installing tool for multiple versions of the same product.

SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) is a two-dimensional vector graphics format based on the XML syntax (that means its essence is a text file in XML format), also the web vector graphics standard set by W3C (World Wide Web Consortium). Due to the use of text format of descriptive language to describe the image content, SVG is a kind of vector image format that has nothing to do with image resolution.

The BT torrent file based on the peer-to-peer (P2P) file sharing protocol is an important way to acquire and share network resources nowadays. But sometimes the files list within a torrent file downloaded from Internet can be very disordered, whereas what we need is probably just a part of the listed files. In particular, more and more torrent files were deliberately added a large amount of objectionable AD images, promotional texts, Internet Shortcuts linking to web pages, and other junk files by their makers or spreaders.
