More speed dials? There you go!

, , , ...

As some of you may know, there is sometimes information hidden in a compiled application that is not visible at first. Sometimes they are easter eggs, other times they are features that are not enabled yet.

Just because I can I sometimes poke around in the compiled application to see if there is anthing interesting. To get the unpacked dll (yes, the windows version), you need to unpack it with UPX first.

In the unpacked dll are binary strings that show/do a lot of stuff, but the one I found was until now unknown and does something a lot of people were asking for: it allows a custom number of speed dials. To make use of this hidden feature, just add this to you speeddial.ini file[1]:

[Size]
Rows=4
Columns=5
I think the settings speak for themselves. A small note: while testing really large numbers of speed dials had the nasty habit of eating up all cpu time for quite a while, so be moderate.

Enjoy!
