Now, all you need to do is hit the download button and save the image on your device.



That’s it. You have the video thumbnail and can use it anywhere. However, some images may be subject to copyright, so make sure to get this aspect sorted before using the image publicly. You might need to ask for the author’s permission, provide an attribution, and so on. Enjoy!

<![CDATA[Re: How to fix failed to connect to server SIClient?]]> https://software.informer.com/forum/post/53912/#p53912 To fix this problem automatically, click the Download button. In the File Download dialog box, click Run or Open, and then follow the steps in the easy fix wizard.

This wizard may be in English only. However, the automatic fix also works for other language versions of Windows.

If you’re not on the computer that has the problem, save the easy-fix solution to a flash drive or a CD, and then run it on the computer that has the problem.

Hope You Find This Useful,
Peter

<![CDATA[Portable applications]]> https://software.informer.com/forum/post/22310/#p22310 Comparing Software Informer with FileHippo and Secunia, I could verify that it seems to give more information and less errors.
There's a drawback, though - it sees only programs under "Program Files" and "Program Files (x86)".

What about portable programs?
For me they are in "Progs".

Is there a way to add a programs folder (since there's no provision for that in Settings)?

Dear Diablo,

Please try going to your profile page: choose Updates from the left-side list, then find the program and go to Settings below the title and short update description. In the opened menu choose Hide this program.

<![CDATA[Re: How to disable a particular app update notification?]]> https://software.informer.com/forum/post/21777/#p21777 Dear User,

The new version of the client lacks this functionality, but you can hide the offered update by clicking on the cross in the upper right corner of the notification. Please see the screenshot:
