Living Room / Re: My cat needs your thoughts | RIP Saffron my dearest cat

« on: October 26, 2014, 08:43 AM »

I lost too a 18 1/2 old cat (a magnificent Tonkin cat) called Gypsie, in 2008.

I still think of him every day, and it's photograph still on my desk, next to my kids....

I DO understand your mourning...

I don't get exactly what means "create computer-vision-driven identification", but
if you mean recognize bitmap on screen and do action on it, yes,
there is a "find image, wait" function that allow image processing.

Go to the forum, very useful, and the author (Gintaras) is
real god of programming and generally answers *any* question
in 24-48h. Responsive and clear.

If not, http://www.macrotoolworks.com/ could have tools
to help you, but i feel less comfortable there....

Not have the knowledge, the skills, the time, the envy  to write a tool. i thought this one could help me,
and tell why it did not,maybe some can be interested in a non positive opinion.

and even if it is free, i prefer paid software when it is useful, and used on an everyday basis

Maybe some people share that opinion..

i plan, anyway when i have some time to spare, to write a review on backup setup, maybe could
help some...

Hmm it is now forbidden to post with a different opinion than
the average?

I just wanted to give a different point of view, which is not as enthusiastic
as others.

can you bear that?

I just wanted to give an opinion, and a real life example of what the software could lack to
some users,not fight with the developer...

For me the restoration is a normal process of a backup scheme, and my needs don't include system backup
with such an inadequate tool, i use mirrofolder and paragon softwares for that

But in my case, i need to retain ntfs attributes, like ownership, access and creation time etc, and to restore them
along with the file if needed. So yes, i need arestore stuff, and people like me must be numerous.

So i'll stick with the backup system i use now, until delta copy finally arrives in syncback,
and i'll be happy camper then, but i wished to have find a good software FOR WHAT I WANT TO DO

Indeed....

but this was just an example of use, the real problem is that it's a one way
software, and i won't take the car if it can't take me back home when needed..

This does simply not fit my needs.

If often backup huge files (steam folder is an example) and i liked the idea to have a delta copy tool (superflexible has delta
but is a pain to get restoration easy, and i don't use it anymore for ages).

In the steam example, ntfs attributes is not important, which is not the case of all my backup jobs,
and continuous backup is irrelevant for a game folder.

The only tool which contains all features is mirrorfolder, but it's not usable in
the way i backup.

So i'm stuck in waiting a long time for my files to be safe.

Maybe one day....

I'm used of backing up ntfs attributes, so i can
not simply copy back files to their original location.

I tried Bvkup because of the delta feature, which is the only that my
favorite backup program is lacking, SyncBackPro.

I must be totally stupid, but i did not find the restore feature.
What's the point of backing up without the possibility to
restore? I'm used of backing up ntfs attributes, so i can
not simply copy back files to their original location.

If someone can point me out the solution.

General Software Discussion / Re: A Vista printer utility that saves ink like InkSaver?

« on: May 26, 2009, 11:36 AM »

Hi there,

FYI, i waited 15 days and 5 messages to have support....that was unable to fix the problem. So ecoprint2 pro did not worked and they refunded me. Quite frustrationg but fair enough. As i already got fineprint that allows me to unclutter my pages before printing, i finally bought the light version which works on my vista install.

Hi all,

Forget about it. I can't have it running on my vista install (xp is fine) and send several messages to the so-called "support". No answer in 15 days. That s***.

It seems related to the artprint.exe module, which is a third party one.

Any help appreciated.

thanks,
Laurent.
