If you have collections of files, for example, work over successive months or even years which constitutes a project, you might have difficulty finding the data for specific topics later on. Using Disk Tree, you can capture the names and locations of all your project files, and whenever you need you can search the data base you have created in order to find what you are looking for. As the name "Disk Tree" suggests, the app was originally created to handle the contents of a series of DVDs (which are not so commonly used nowadays), but in fact is can be used equally to capture chunks of data from any source - e.g. from pendrives or the HD itself - as long as those chunks are not gigantic. Personally, I use it to take snapshots of all my software projects, which I save regularly in blocks such as "Proj_2024_A", "Proj_2024_B", and so on. After many years, when I seach back to see what I have done in the past, I am often surprised at what I find and had forgotten about!
Displaying and distributing photos is far less of a problem nowadays than it was in the past, when this app was written. However, for me, it still has its uses. Its primary use is as a means of displaying a series of photos to an audience, big or small, either automatically with a timer, or manually, one by one at the appropriate time. Optionally, there are different transitional effects which can be used between one photo and the next.
As I said, you probably use WhatsApp or some of the dozens of applications available nowadays to distribute your photos. However, with the Supershow it is very simple to export your slideshows in a form that can be used on the Internet, permitting your viewers to see the photos on their PC or on their smartphone. That said, it is only practical to do this if you have your own website.
TRAVELLER'S COMPANION
(Curso de inglês)
(Course of English)
This course of basic English for travellers served me during all the years I was an English teacher, and beyond. Culturally, it has become a little outdated, but it nevertheless still enables Portuguese-speaking travellers to reinforce their skills before embarking on their journey.
It is not for absolute beginners though. Users need to have studied English at school for a fairly good time before attempting to use it. That said, the course attempts to correct the inevitably INCORRECT pronunciation students hear at school and helps promote a better understanding of native speech. Though if travellers go to London itself, they are more likely to hear foreign English than native English nowadays!
As you see on the left, there are 20 individual lessons based on a good number of situations travellers might find themselves in, especiallly in Britain.

Este curso de inglês básico para viajantes me serviu durante todos os anos em que fui professor de inglês e além. Culturalmente, tornou-se um pouco desactualizado, mas ainda assim permite aos viajantes de língua portuguesa reforçar as suas competências antes de embarcarem na sua viagem.
Porém, não é para iniciantes absolutos. Os usuários precisam ter estudado inglês na escola por um bom tempo antes de tentar usá-lo. Dito isto, o curso tenta corrigir a pronúncia inevitavelmente INCORRETA que os alunos ouvem na escola e ajuda a promover uma melhor compreensão da fala nativa. Embora se os viajantes forem para Londres, é mais provável que ouçam inglês estrangeiro do que inglês nativo hoje em dia!
Como você pode ver à esquerda, há 20 aulas individuais baseadas em um bom número de situações em que os viajantes podem se encontrar, especialmente na Grã-Bretanha.
