Clipboard Help+Spell / CHS Unicode support

« on: March 28, 2014, 08:33 AM »

Hey mouser,

in this thread (~ 3yrs ago) you mentioned:

yes i will; now that image support is added, proper unicode and richtext seem to be the next logical steps.

-Mouser

Any news on this issue? Unicode is in great demand here

I'd like to know if it's possible to introduce regular expression in Quick View Filters?

-migounanounet (February 10, 2012, 10:11 PM)

Yeah - that would be nice!

I use the library from the PowerGrep-Makers for my projects:

New version released January 27: 1.0.6.110

ADDED: Echo can now store its database and configuration files in any user-specified folder. This works the same way for both the desktop and portable editions. Custom folder can be specified on the command line or in the master.config file. This is useful for example if you want Echo to keep its data and configuration in a folder that you can easily include in your backup.

-Sascha (January 12, 2012, 01:27 AM)

Done, the next release will have it. The custom folder can be specified in the master.config file or on command-line; the Help file will have all the details.

Hooray - thanks in advance

New version released January 20: 1.0.5.108

-tranglos (January 19, 2012, 09:14 PM)

ADDED (by popular request): Option to minimize Echo when the Close button on the title bar is clicked. This option is disabled by default. To enable it, click Tools -> Preferences -> Display -> MinimizeOnCloseButton and set the option to True. When enabled, you must use the File -> Exit command (or press Alt+F4) to really quit Echo.

...Echo is not a very good note-taker

-tranglos (January 19, 2012, 09:01 AM)

I do not need one - I need Echo as it is (with some small improvements)
I mean to say that I do not need those note-taking features like renaming etc.

Echo should stay a lightweight application!

And though I hate to admit it, I'm starting to feel a need for some additional metadata on clips. Not necessarily categories or tags, and not a tree hierarchy at all - just some way of "naming" or describing clips to find them easier. For example, every month I pay my bills online and need to find and paste a bunch of bank account numbers. But I can't find them by their digits So it would help to name a clip "electricity bill account", "tax account" etc.

-tranglos (January 19, 2012, 07:53 AM)

Clipmate has such a feature

That's a possibility, although you cannot scroll a tooltip and it requires the mouse. Also, a tooltip would only show the "display text" part of a clip, which for larger clips may not be the complete text (depending on your settings).

I've been thinking about a read-only side panel that can be hidden if not used. Maybe even with an optional binary / hex view so that you can inspect all formats of a clip besides just the plain text.

-tranglos (January 19, 2012, 07:53 AM)

You'll make the right decision (the need of using a mouse is )

« on: January 19, 2012, 07:18 AM »

I fully understand your reason!

Maybe a Tooltip will do the job (like Dittos F3) - it should be a preview - no more, no less

Hey tranglos,

it would be nice, to have a preview-pane for the selected clip (first one for multiselect).
Most of my clips are code-snippets with more than 2 lines (MaxLinesPerItem := 2) and it is not very useful to load them to the editor for a preview

« on: January 12, 2012, 01:53 AM »

It's me again

It is possible now, to add file-formats to the list - but echo does not save items of those formats

I added cf_dib, cf_dibv5 and cf_bitmap. Those formats where listed on the 'Formats currently on clipboard'-List after copying a bitmap from my screenshot-tool.
But I am not able to change the text-only-property for those entries. It will always be reset to 'Yes'. Maybe that will be the reason.

(please see the attached screenshot)

Found and fixed. I'll upload a new release by the end of the week, but for now you can just replace your ethervaneecho.exe with the one attached to this message.

Great support - thanks a lot!

possibility to configure the directory for saving the database
possibility to configure the directory for saving the application-settings (ini)

Could you explain why this would be useful? It'd help me design the best way to implement this. Echo already uses a fairly involved logic to figure out where to store the database and config (are we portable? Are we running from a removable drive? Is the removable drive read-only? etc.), and I have to be careful making any changes to these parts of the code.

I use some automatic mechanisms for my backups. Therefore I store all my application-configurartions in special folders.

Would it be sufficient if I added a command-line argument to specify the config and database directories? You could add it to the shortcut used to start Echo.

Yeah, that would be really nice

possibility to change shortcuts like F2

What would you use instead? I can easily add more than one shortcut for some functions. A complete keyboard customization would take more time. And there would be certain limitations, e.g. you cannot assign certain keys which are used when editing clips in-place or are necessary to navigate the tree, etc. It could be more trouble than it's worth.

I don't think it would be practicable to use more than one shortcut for one function. Let's leave it as that

do not autopaste items on pressing enter - only copy them to the clipboard (like ctrl+shift+c)

Disable pasting entirely, or just swap the function of (Shift+)Enter and (Shift+)Ctrl+C?

I do not need that (I like what Ditto does). From my point of view you may disable it entirely But I think i'll be better to make it customizable.

always show date and time for last saved items instead of e.g. "8 minutes ago"

Preferences -> Display -> Friendly dates -> set to False

Oops - I have overseen that - sorry.

Again - thanks for this wonderful application and that great support!

Hey,

really great application - imho better then ditto

(i am using v1.0.4b103 on win xp sp3)

bugs

• when trying to add cf_dib or other formats to the store-in-echo-list, the application crashes when clicking the ok-button (Error [EEchoInternalError]: TClpFormatRegistry: Clipboard format "cf_dib" (type: System) already exists in the registry)
• there is no confirmation dialog on deleting items here

feature requests

• close to tray on pressing the X
• possibility to configure the directory for saving the database
• possibility to configure the directory for saving the application-settings (ini)
• possibility to change shortcuts like F2
• do not autopaste items on pressing enter - only copy them to the clipboard (like ctrl+shift+c)
• always show date and time for last saved items instead of e.g. "8 minutes ago"
• do not block capturing when editing an item internally or externally. sometimes it is useful to capture a part of an existing clip and save it to a new clip

that's it for now
it would be nice if you keep these issues in mind

thanks in advance!

General Software Discussion / Re: Compressing Outlook-Datafiles (PST) for free without Outlook?

« on: June 20, 2011, 01:54 PM »

Ok, the problem is that I included the PST-Files before the admin disabled the using of these files by group policies
Therefore I am able to 'work' with these files (add / remove emails) but I am not able to use any of the functions that are related to the menu-items e.g. compress or create a new file.

Due to the exchange servers 100MB quota I move every mail to one of thes PST-Files and remove the attachments with 'Outlook Attachment Sniffer'....

I have to use Outlook 2003 with an Exchange Server in the Office. Unfortunately it is not allowed to use PST-Files - therefore I am not able to compress it with Outlook itself; the admin disabled the menu-item
