Developer's Corner / AutoHotkey Programming Questions Megathread

« on: May 13, 2008, 06:01 PM »

I didn't see an existing thread for questions about AutoHotkey programming, so I thought I'd start a catch-all here. Mouser, feel free to move this wherever is more appropriate.

The idea is that since we have sterling AutoHotkey (AHK) programmers like skrommel and others, those of us on DonationCoder who have AHK programming questions can ask them of each other here. This isn't a replacement for the AutoHotkey Community forums, just a local thread for AHK programming questions. Deeper discussions can be taken offline, moved to another thread, or moved to the AutoHotkey Community forums.

Thanks for reading!

System Path Commander / Feature request: move path item to system/local path

A useful feature for System Path Commander: a right-click option which would let me "move" a path item from say the system path to my local path and vice versa.

General Software Discussion / AppRocket: Quicksilver for Windows

« on: July 14, 2005, 07:33 PM »

Found via Lifehacker <http://www.lifehacke...-tutorial-106642.php> (itself found via 43 Folders, which I noticed just popped up here on the forums), AppRocket <http://www.candylabs.com/approcket/> is the closest thing to Quicksilver <http://quicksilver.blacktree.com/> (which is for OS X only) available on Windows.

I've wanted something like this for a while on Windows, especially since I've been using Quicksilver on my Mac for quite a while. ActiveWords was the program that usually got the nod, but when I tried using it, I felt it got in my way too much. With a key macro program like KeyText and a incremental-search app/file/action launched like AppRocket, life is good.

General Software Discussion / Mouser's Systray Goodies

« on: June 22, 2005, 06:02 PM »

Hi all,

While watching one of the screencast software demo screencasts, I noticed all the various systray icons on display. Mouser, care to tell us what they all are? I recognize some as software I use, and some as your own software, but a list of what's in there might be interesting. Looking at what's in my friends' systray is one of the ways I find out about new and useful software. Chances are, if it's in your systray, it's become indispensible.

Thanks!

I should have read before I posted; I just found the "Which app stays open on your desktop all day?" topic, which covers this. Mouser, feel free to delete this topic or houseclean however you see fit.

Backup Guide / MirrorFolder compared to reviewed programs?

« on: April 18, 2005, 06:02 AM »

Hi everyone,

I was curious if anyone else here has used MirrorFolder from TechSoft:

http://www.techsoftpl.com/backup/

I found a recommendation to it on some web site somewhere a while back, and downloaded the trial version and have used it a bit, but haven't really exercised it, nor have I put it up against the programs shown in the backup guide reviews.

I would love if someone would do that kind of hard work for me and write up what they think the differences are, pro and con. I suspect it would be most easily compared to GenieSoft's program. One thing I *do* like about MirrorFolder is the fact that it just fades into the background as an Explorer extension.

Living Room / Website bugs

« on: March 30, 2005, 10:51 PM »

I just found DonationCoder.com today from Mike Gunderloy's "Larkware" blog <http://www.larkware.com/> and have been poking around the site some, including the reviews. In the Beyond Compare review, for one of the screencasts <https://www.donationcoder.com/Reviews/Archive/CompareTools/flash/BeyondCompare1.html>, I noticed the "Go Back to Review.." link at the bottom <https://www.donationcoder.com/Reviews/Archive/CompareTools/index#moviethumbs> gave me an HTTP 404 Not Found error.

Thought I might note it here so it could be fixed. Might be a good idea to trapse through the site with a link checker and see if that happens for any of the other links, at least in the reviews section.
