Default Handy tools I've found useful for EQEmu-related tasks

I thought I'd share some links to various utilities (all free) that I've found useful for various management tasks of EQEmu & assorted databases:

Open Command Window Here (MS Windows PowerToy)
ExamDiff
InfoRapid Search & Replace
PropertiesPlus


These are all fairly small downloads, have a minimal system footprint (tech speak for saying they don't screw with your registry, etc. too much, if at all), are easy to use, & as mentioned already, are completely free (no spyware/adware either).

Just to give a handy example of how one of these are useful is how, when I read that in the .QST (quest) files that "EVENT_SAY {" should be replaced by "EVENT_SAY{", I fired up Inforapid & had it do an automatic replace of all instances of the former with the latter. Took a whole of about 1.5 minutes to process all 1067 files.

The one I use most often with EQEmu is the Windows Powertoy called "Open Command Window Here". It adds a handy right-click context command to automatically open a command prompt in the directory you choose without having to type all the cd... commands.
