Rename Media Files isn’t technically a new plugin. It was in repository for almost two years, but it was unfinished, without proper promotion.
Today I committed a rewritten version with proper readme.txt and a screenshot so you can check it out.
Introducing bbPress Digest
Not as big as another todays software announcement, but I’m informing the world that I released a new plugin for WordPress: bbPress Digest.
It marks a beginning of something I delayed for so long: releasing of WordPress plugin I created for clients or own needs that never saw a public light of the day.
Head over to plugin’s page for more info or start using it immediately.
Gravatar Signup Encouragement 3.0
One year after latest release, I am proud to announce third version of my plugin Gravatar Signup Encouragement.
This version improves existing and adds new features. You can check full changelog here but below I’ll highlight most important ones.
Now you can show message to registered user in admin bar so it will follow them through whole site.

One issue that was preventing inserting correct e-mail address in field on Gravatar’s signup page was fixed too.
Other issues are under the hood. Everything now has documentation for developers, functions are reordered in a more logical way, plugin uses less resources since settings are moved to a separate file.
Finally, I prepared a video tutorial that shows plugin in use. Don’t forget to turn on captions (subtitles) since this is where you’ll get text.
If you like this plugin, promote it through tools below or donate.
How to Post in Cyrillic (or Any Unicode Script) in TweetDeck
I wanted to use TweetDeck desktop app for Windows to post on some Twitter accounts in Serbian but when I started typing Cyrillic letters, they didn’t show up. I looked through settings (apparently not good enough) but I didn’t find any related to my problem.
Then I did some searching and found solution. Thing is that for some strange reason TweetDeck allows you to type only in Latin script. If you want to type in Cyrillic, Arabic, Japanese, Chinese or any other script, you need to go to settings, then chose Color/Fonts and under TweetDeck Font choose International Font / TwitterKey.
Merging AVI Video Files With Joiner That Works: AVI Joiner
I needed to join several video files into one larger. All files were of the same codec, container (AVI) so it should have been simple. But instead I needed to try several programs to actually succeed. Those that I tried didn’t work as expected or made unbelievable results (one made file 315 GB large from 7 files large 1,3 GB in total — that didn’t work).
The only program that worked is AVI Joiner. Unfortunately, it is a shareware program but it has a trial period (which was enough for me this time).
Files are merged relatively quickly and results are great: it’s doing joining fast, quality is identical as from original files, and size is same as sum of all files.
AVI Joiner is very simple to use so I recommend it to everyone that needs quick joining of AVI files.
