Windows 10

Pinning a File to the Start Menu

from PaulC_1 in the Windows Forums

Create a shortcut to the file, and copy that shortcut to the file to the following folder. This is the folder that the start menu reads from.

C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs folder

From there: in the start menu, right click on the menu item that appears (probably at the top) and click [Pin to Start]. Alternatively, you can drag the item to the pin space.

Adding a New Search Option in Preferences

from BugSquanch and Dave M on Stack Exchange

about:config

search and turn to True (with the [+] button):

browser.urlbar.update2.engineAliasRefresh

Then, you should have an [Add] button in Search Shortcuts. Fill in the form, remembering to use '%s' in place of the search term. (Adding a keyword is optional)

After that, you can select it in Default Search Engine if you'd like.

Aseprite

Adding New Pixel Ratios

from haloflooder on Github

C:\Program Files\Aseprite\data\widgets

You need to edit two files: new_sprite.xml and sprite_properties.xml

Windows won't let you edit and save the files directly, so you'll have to copy the files somewhere else to edit.

Add this line to both files, editing 'text' and 'value' fields as necessary:

<listitem text="Custom Ratio Name Here" value="5:4" />

Then copy the two xml files back into the /widgets folder.
