Jeanie Kiser Hello. I installed Advanced Recent Access today and it does show recently accessed files fairly quickly. It takes a little longer for it to show external drive's file access, but I still really enjoy this feature.

My question is, some of the files are showing that I accessed them 3 days ago or more, when I actually accessed them today. What is causing the date discrepancy?

One file shows I accessed it on 8/27/2015, when I actually looked at it today. I did not have it opened, prior to viewing it today... So why?

There is another file showing I accessed it on 9/3/2015, although I opened it today??

I find this a very useful tool, but would like to see that the date accessed be correctly shown. Are you able to provide some guidance?

I have Win7 Ultimate 64-bit

Thank you for any help you can provide.

Lifetime Upgrades Does Advanced Recent Access index the files, so next time it is ran, the access will even be faster?

Thanks for your testimonial.

About the "Date accessed" column:

It just is a file property that given by Windows system.

And ARA does not change it, just use the system given date.

Hope this helps.

TSS Support @Lifetime Upgrades

ARA does not index the "files".

It just gives you more recent resources, and more information.

Because the recent resources are always not many, so ARA can load them quickly.

In advanced, it will refresh the list per minute, in order to keep the list is up-to-date.

John User I have noticed that the File Explorer in Windows 10 automatically shows recent files accessed when you open it. Some (including me) may prefer to select a different Windows file management system, but if you want recent file activity shown, you can simply go with Win 10 File Explorer.

In fact, in any version of Windows, you can see this in the Windows/File Explorer.

But as ARA said: you can see more recent resources, and more properties (information) for the recent items.

Well, you do have to enable that on the Start Menu:

Click the Start button, click Control Panel, click Appearance and Personalization, and then click Taskbar and Start Menu.

Click the Start Menu tab. Under Privacy, select the "Store and display recently opened items in the Start menu and the taskbar" check box, if it isn't already selected.

Click Customize. In the Customize Start Menu dialog box, scroll through the list of options to find the Recent Items check box, select it, click OK, and then click OK again. (To remove Recent Items from the Start menu, clear the Recent Items check box, click OK, and then click OK again.)

Or you can just go here:

C:\Users\{USERNAME}\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Recent

Remember to put your actual username in there....

Yes. I know this action and this folder.

For ARA, the functions just like its name ADVANCED Recent Access.

1. List all (Start menu list a little".
2. List REAL file/folder, so you can view its each properties at once, such as size, type, etc.
3. Start Menu only lists name, the Recent folder only list shortcut (not real file), if there are some similar names, you cannot quickly decide which one should be used.
4. If you usually use ARA to operate the frequent use resources, they will automatically sort by the frequency, so it can improve your work efficiency.
5. Other features please refer to its official site.

-- In fact, "ADVANCED" is based on the "Recent Items" menu item, and the "Recent" folder. It presumes users already use these, and need more.

Robert Bull I was planning to buy a single-PC lifetime license, but I read the Fine Print. License per computer, not per user; transfer of license to another computer you own yourself is not allowed; license has a hardware footprint. That seems to make a mockery of a lifetime license, so I won't be buying until this is either changed, or at least clarified in case it only applies to the Bits/Facebook free deal rather than the paid-for version.

Jeanie Kiser Have had this on my computer for most of the day. Thought that it would continue to keep a memory of recently accessed files, once erased from my system, but it doesn't. I protected the folder and the program. Ran ccleaner to clean my system files (which I have to do or my computer gets bogged down quite rapidly).When Windows no longer shows the recently accessed files, neither does this program.

If it retained some type of memory, it would be a more useful program.

I really did like the ease of use, but if it doesn't retain any memory of even the most recent 10 or 20 files used... I'm not sure exactly how helpful it's really going to be??

Anyone else think that this would be a useful feature to have?

Chris My problem is the same as above. The program window stays empty.
I contacted them and they want to do a remote session to try and fix it, but according to the program, that is a fee-based option. I purchased this because I have other of their programs and they all work. I didn't even try the trial, just purchased it as I had Recent X and when they updated the program it get to heavy on my system and crashed all the time. I did enable the recent items, but that didn't help. I hope they figure this out and get an update out to fix the problem. I have Windows 8.1 64 bit.

It just started working, I have no idea what I did to get it to work, but it seems fine right now.

Do 700+ steps? How do you find out a the BAD shortcuts? Double-click 100+ times? How do you finished it within 1 second? With ARA, there is ZERO step needed.

Bruno User Two things: People in the "older comments" say ARA is useless; this is simply not true since Windows will only show you the .lnk files, and even if your file commander lets you filter by extension, since all file types are .lnk files, you will always get all files, most of them unwanted, so ARA, with its original file entries, together with their original suffixes, and which can be filtered by groups, is a big step forward.

What I miss though is a filter by path. I would need to see all recent files (of all types) in some specific path and its subpaths, and no file from other paths. But again, if you don't have this specific need of mine, this should be a very useful program, even though it does not filter files by specific suffixes but only by file type groups which may include unwanted file types in some cases.

FYI: I just researched how to toggle "put the opened file into the recent file history" yes/no. You can do this by a registry setting, albeit the problem is you then have to restart the pc to switch the toggle, so this cannot be used to hold back unwanted entries from the list, when working on not-work-related things for example. Therefore, if ARA could check for the path / parent path, alternatively to checking for the suffix, when deciding if a file is to be included into the list or not, this would be tremendously helpful.

ricoh flex Had installed this before but uninstalled it because of an unacceptable defect.
It forces itself to boot on Windows startup.
The user has NO choice.
The program does not have any built-in control feature to stop this.
You can try to switch this off using a 3rd party utility like Wise 365 Care Pro.
However the software overrides this and the next time you boot Windows, this software Advanced Recent Access, loads itself.

Mar 9 2016 at 2:16am Copy Link

TSS Support @ricoh flex

Let me explain this:

1. Very easy to stop the autostart:
The installer just puts a shortcut under "Start -> All Programs -> Startup" system menu, if you do not want to autostart it, simply delete this shortcut.

2. The original design is: users who need it will usually use it during Windows is running. So, the installer makes the shortcut as above by default.

This is just like our another proudct - Auto Mail Sender™ Standard Edition
http://www.automailsender...dition.htm

Since it works for sending email automatically, so it should be started automatically with Windows by default, is not, users may lose some emails.

So, same reason, users may use ARA to open folders/files usually, so this should be the default action.

If we have not do this, there will be questions from the users.

Hope it is helpful.

Kelly Hamblin I just installed this to see how it compares to Nir Sofer's RecentFilesView. I knew, of course, that Advanced Recent Access shows more than just files, and that is a plus. It also turned out to be very quick.

I was, however, very surprised to find that the text is not black. It is blue or maybe it's gray, either way it is too light. For me, that is a problem. There are no options to change it, in fact no options of any kind are available in the application.

I see you plan new features sometime in the future. I hope they include black text.

TSS Support @Guy Good

For your questions:

"How does this compare to RecentX if you are familiar with that product?"

We do not know RecentX, and we design this product without referring any other products. But we can give our concept of design:

1. As it's homepage said: "See More Properties of Recent Used Resources". In Windows, you can only see the name of recent used resources, so, considering if you have D:\test and F:\test folders, and always visit them, you may take time to decide which one is your want. And consider more resources with the same names.

2. ARA will record the visit times if you use it to open your resources, in order to let you quickly open the most common resources.

That's the basic concept for why we made it.

"Is there any way to automatically exclude one or more user specified drives or folders from being added to the Recent Access list?"

Good suggestion, we will add the excluding list to the "Filter" area in the next version.

Thank you.

Richard User I want to give an unsolicited testimonial for Advanced Recent Access. I bought a license during an earlier BDJ promotion. It's a handy little utility that makes doing work on my PC just a little bit easier. I might only use it a few times a week to access a file. For me, that's convenience enough to justify the promotional price.

ARA has one way it could be better, and I've asked for this as an enhancement. ARA has to be running all the time in order to log and present recently-accessed files. If you close the app unwittingly, then it isn't working for you. I wish there was a user-option setting to make sure the app is running all the time, OR at least give a "are you sure you want to exit?" dialog box when you hit the "X" or otherwise close the app.

Other than that, I give ARA thumbs-up for the utility that it is.

OK, in the next version, we will add a "Custom" checkbox to the "Filter" area.

And you can customize which file types will be shown.

Tortuga @Qiulin Hello,

The last updt for the app was October.2015, so ~1½ year ago...
Are you planning to release a new version sometime soon? Or the rather long delay is the norm in between releases ?!

BTW, I concur w Richard above, a confirm box b4 exit wd be a must !!
Also, don't know if you came across an app called RecentX, but the little on-screen 'tags' are very practical & visual pleasing !!
Maybe something similar could be integrated - Just a thought.

Peace

About update, not a norm, as you see, we have 30+ products, but obviously, ARA is not the most important one.

So the upgrade cycle will be slower.

About RecentX, OK, recorded this, when making the next version, we will take a glance on it.

Thank you.

Richard User On March 2, 2017, I wrote the following:

"I want to give an unsolicited testimonial for Advanced Recent Access. I bought a license during an earlier BDJ promotion. It's a handy little utility that makes doing work on my PC just a little bit easier. I might only use it a few times a week to access a file. For me, that's convenience enough to justify the promotional price.

ARA has one way it could be better, and I've asked for this as an enhancement. ARA has to be running all the time in order to log and present recently-accessed files. If you close the app unwittingly, then it isn't working for you. I wish there was a user-option setting to make sure the app is running all the time, OR at least give a "are you sure you want to exit?" dialog box when you hit the "X" or otherwise close the app.

Other than that, I give ARA thumbs-up for the utility that it is."

Now a year later, I still feel exactly the same way. Nice little utility. I continue to use it. I still recommend it at the promotional price. I still wish Qiulin would add the feature to insure ARA is running all the time, or at least add a confirming dialog box if the user closes the app.

Rob Downloaded this again (the trail version on BDJ v4.0??) and it did work.

A couple of questions. It does seem like a great idea but it does run slow, unless there's an option to speed it up. Clicking between recently opened files takes a second or two, it's certainly not instant. Maybe it's because it's constantly updating it's index files but does seem slow clicking between files and folders.

Also if I open a pdf or an excel file and jump back into ARA it doesn't update with the files opened - if I then shut down Excel, ARA still doesn't update it's list certainly not 'real time' like the website states.

Also the properties option instead of displaying info I can easily get from Windows itself - how about properties like dates when last accessed and thumbnails of images and possibly an incorporated audio and video file previewer.

It's a great idea and it does look useful and I am interested but would like an update off the dev please.

Matt This software DOES NOT show a file or folder that was recently accessed (opened).

It only shows files and folders that have recently been created or modified.

I opened four .txt files with ARA running in the background (minimized). I then closed all four files. ARA didn't show any of the four files as being accessed.

I then made a change to one of the .txt files and saved the change. ARA then showed this modified file.

ARA does not hold true to its name (NO RECENT ACCESS).

I will be requesting a refund.

Richard User Responding to @Qiulin's reply to my post, I took a look at the release notes for v5.0 (Feb 27, 2018) compared to v4.0 (Oct 28, 2015). To my reading, the v5.0 enhancements appear to be rather underwhelming: support of ??? and Deutsch, a tweaked GUI, adding a user option to autostart, removal of an obsolete option during install, changed the license agreement for installer, and made ARA run a little quicker. (It wasn't slow before.) Unless you speak Korean or German, to my mind none of these enhancements were more important than a confirming dialog box when you close the app. That's just my opinion. But how difficult would it have been to add that feature? Just sayin'.

I still stand by my earlier comments. I like ARA for what it does. But now I'm not too impressed by the resources that TriSun has devoted to enhancing the app. If I didn't already have ARA, I would pay $9 to get it. If I had to pay to upgrade my current v4 to v5, I wouldn't do it for $9. $2 or $3, maybe.

1. will the recent ACCESSED files / Folders be implemented next time?
2. will there be a usable Folder / file size column?
Unfortunately the program does not sort fodlers / files by size (e.g. 125kb, 1mb, 25mb,..) abut handels the sizes like pure numbers, so that e.g. it starts with 1mb, than 125kb than 2mb, than 256kb,... -

It fhese problems would be solved the offer would be ok.

Please note that the list needs 9 seconds to refresh itself.
Anyway, we're sorry it is not working on your PC.
If you want to refund, please contact BDJ, we have no way to do that.

2. [Accessed time], from Vista, Microsoft has abandoned the accurate recording. You can try to open a file, and see it's accessed time field, it's not updated.
So, we do not list the wrong info in ARA.

Yes, for you, something is not important, but please note that there are many users complain the old UI, even the color of list colors, auto-start by Startup menu, and more.

For "confirming dialog box when you close the app", until now only you need this.
Because most users prefer click _ to minimize a program, not X. For me, prefer pressing "Win+D", clean all things.

Anyway, thanks for your support, and we must do it in the next release or update. Just only for you.

1. accessed file / folder works.
Try to open a file in a folder, and then the file and folder will be listed in ARA.
Please note that only if you open (access) a file, its parent folder will be listed, else, not.

Think this: only access folder but not open any file under a folder, you are doing locating/browsing action, not access. When you locating a file, you may access many folder in Windows Explorer, if recorded all them, the list will host many unuseful info, such as C:\, E:\, C:\Windows...

2. It's upgrade plan already.

Richard User @Qiulin

Actually, another person (@Tortuga) asked for the same enhancement of adding the dialog box after I first suggested it in March 2 2017. You also replied to me at that time that you said my suggestion "was planned". Scroll up in comments to see both posts.

I am certainly aware that the "_" button is to minimize and "X" is to close. My suggestion of the dialog box was to prevent unintended closure by the user. Some apps stay open when you use "X"... they just move to the system tray (Skype, Hard Disk Sentinal [sold here on BDJ], the app Everything, Glasswire, all resident anti-virus and anti-malware software, and others). It is easy to forget which app behaves which way. Since ARA doesn't track the user's document activity when it isn't running, most users would want it running all the time I would think. The confirming dialog box would ensure the user isn't misremembering how ARA works. That's a lot more important than a different background color, IMO.

Please don't patronize me by insinuating I don't know how to minimize a window. I used to design software for a living. I just gave you a good idea for free. It's a reasonable and obvious request from someone who actually uses the app. A decent programmer could have added that feature in a couple of hours, tops. But if you don't want to add the feature, don't. I won't hold my breath, based on this interaction.

1. ARA does not monitor any resource.

2. See its home page, the yellow text "See More Properties of Recent Used Resources", not more resources, it's "More Properties".

3. It is based on Windows recent items, and pluses some features, so called "Advanced Recent Access".

4. "Accessed time" is a discarded concept for Windows, at least, since Vista, MS does not monitor it, you can see any file's property to verify this.

Hope this helps.

Richard Blake If I open a file by typing its name at a cmd prompt, relying on extension and file associations to open it in the proper program (e.g. .txt, .docx, .xlsx), will ARA record this file (and the program that opened it) in its list?

If I rename a file, or move a file from one directory to another (or another drive), does ARA record that?

Can I specify the number of files remembered, or the number of days before a file is dropped from the list? If so, can I have separate values for different file extensions, e.g. remember only a week of .mp3 files, but a month of .xlsx files?

Thanks.

HJ B The program description says, "a time-consuming hassle to navigate to something that you’ve recently used".

As far as I can tell, this application only lists files that you have either created or modified. If you simply open and read an existing file. this program does not capture that fact.

If I am not right then please correct me,

Michael R. I work with with Win10 with always a CommandLine-window (like CMD.exe) open and flix quite often between the usage of the GUI and CMD.

Does ARA also includes my accesses via the CMD (command-lines) or is it possible to add directory & file-names via a command-line, e.g. like ara.exe -add c:\windows\temp?

If not yet, it would be quite useful...

Do you consider implementing that. Shouldn't be really complicated...
