1  Main Area and Open Discussion / General Software Discussion / Re: Favorite Firefox Builds for Windows? on: May 13, 2013, 01:36:52 PM
It seems to give me an error "not compatible with Pale Moon 19.0.2"...
Hmm, it installs fine in Pale Moon Portable 20.0.1-x64 on my system*. I've no idea why it doesn't on yours.
Note that you can also add a MultiFox toolbar button, as a separate add-on.

* Yup, I also use "multi-Firefox" setup: Firefox as my default browser, Pale Moon Portable for wiki logins and a Firefox Portable for other persons in the household.

For my ultra-heavy-duty favorite pages, I made an entire (low tek) special home page with them. Thus it's available from anywhere, so I don't have to think about home comp vs phone vs friend's house vs net cafe vs hotel. It's just there.

I do the same thing for sites I think I'll want to come back to fairly often.   For the rest, I use Linkman Pro, which I love for many reasons, including its superfast search capabilities.  I keep an identical copy of Linkman on my netbook.
I also use Linkman Pro, but I have set MyBookmarks as my homepage/new tab page for the frequent visited pages. Previously I only used the bookmark toolbar in Firefox, but it became too crowded...

Is it an option to use Multifox for different logins?

You can also run multiple instances of Firefox Portable.

Screenshot Capture was reviewed at addictivetips two day ago:

Capture Screenshots, Edit And Add Special Effects & Objects

Quote
We have previously covered screenshot tools like Shotty and Greenshot, but if you are looking for a screenshot tool that lets you do more than just capture screen area, give Screenshot Captor a try. Screenshot Captor is a very extensive screenshot capturing tool that lets you take screenshots, edit them, add special effects, adjust colors, add objects and share with others. It lets you specify pre-capture and post-capture settings, special effect and drawing object options and file naming templates.

Quote
Screenshot Captor is a massive tool with a lot more options included.

The best so far is keeping different win32pad (a lightweight txt editor) windows on my second screen and moving them around as needed, but that's not perfect because when Windows crashes I lose them all...

For that role I use 2 instances of Memo (AHK scripts by Drugwash) which has auto-save.

Mozilla Firefox 8.0 is out

Update to version 8 automatically changed the theme to the Default 8.0 theme. (New update behavior?)
At first I didn't notice that myself, but my mum started yelling: "$#%@, where are the green back and forward buttons?" Grin

thanks for the report.
You're welcome.

2) What is the 'Toaster'???
@skwire: maybe rename the "Enable toaster popup" to "Enable toaster popup on song change" is a little bit clearer what to expect?

Another thing, can you change the "Show toaster popup" hotkey action to always show the toaster?
That is: show it also if the options "Enable toaster popup" = False and/or "Do not show toaster popup while main window is active" = True.

hotkey. start typing
will at least need some dialog, IMHO. If a desktop mail client is present, I would prefer to use it.
12  Main Area and Open Discussion / General Software Discussion / Re: Looking for 'self email' sender on: September 05, 2011, 12:00:32 PM
@justice: Do you use a desktop e-mail client? If so, why not use mailto:? (reference here)

The following AutoHotkey code gives the (in my case Thunderbird) compose window, in which I can edit the message before sending it:
Formatted for Autohotkey with the GeSHI Syntax Highlighter [copy or print]
  1. #7::
  2. Run, mailto:me@you.us?subject=This is the subject line&body=This is the body text.


Or:

Or use Blat with AutoHotkey with a DllCall.
Or... use AutoHotkey with CDO COM (with or without AHK_L).

Back in the day, there was tag.exe by Ca5e.  However, it seems that his original site is no more.   Sad  You can grab the latest version I had in my archives from my site:  http://www.skwire.net/~apps/misc/tag.zip

The latest version is 2.0.52 (Still, dated: 2007-05-03). Since your latest version development is done by synthetic soul.

Or you can download it from Softpedia.

Or did you catch the AHK-virus and want some other features?
16  DonationCoder.com Software / Finished Programs / Re: DONE: Windows management script on: August 19, 2011, 01:04:20 PM
I see there's a 64bit version - would you recommend that?
Not sure about that. I have no experience with 64-bit.

tried the first example, it works

But if you want to update to AHK_L the hotkey can become this:
Formatted for Autohotkey with the GeSHI Syntax Highlighter [copy or print]
  1. #q::ComObjCreate("Shell.Application").ShutdownWindows()
17  DonationCoder.com Software / Finished Programs / Re: DONE: Windows management script on: August 18, 2011, 02:52:52 PM
It should be possible to show the standard Windows shutdown dailog. At least, ShutdownWindows works on my WinXP system (Can't test it on Win7).
@tomos: what AutoHotkey version do you use?

Mozilla Plans To Hide Firefox Version

Conclusion:
Quote from: Nebulus
It seems like they somehow want to hide the fact that the version changes each 5 minutes, which suggest that they are aware it’s not exactly the best idea smiley So basically, we have a bad idea, we implement it and then hide it from the user. Great plan, shows a responsible attitude!

21  Main Area and Open Discussion / Living Room / Re: Are we allowed to avoid the "My Docs" mess in Win7? on: July 25, 2011, 02:41:29 PM
But.. and here's the key point.. I don't go near that directory with my own files.  I use my own custom MyDocs folder for any program data that *I* have control over.  So any program where i have a choice, and where I care about the data, I save to the MyDocs folder.

This has the great advantage of letting you easily distinguish the relatively small number documents that you actually work with and care about (which are in MyDocs), and those that are auto managed and you probably don't much care about, in the "My Documents" path.

I think it's really up to windows to allow users to customise the save/save-as/open dialogues.
=> Problem solved.

Like this?:
Common File Dialog Box - Customize Places Bar - Windows 7 Forums

[edit] then I'm back looking for a dialogue extender for save/open. Ah well, just what I'm used to... [/edit]
I just want a choice of favorite directories added to my "save as" dialog.

  • I bought XYplorer Friday on the BDJ special.  It's great!
  • I think I may be able to do what I'm looking for with it. 
  • Or use it in place of what I'm trying with a notetaking program.
  • So this can probably moved to "solved."
  • Congratulations, nice to hear you like it too.
  • If you want to put XYplorer to good use I have a suggestion for you for the sorting:
    I save everything in one folder and then use XYplorer to move everything to the right place. Either by using "Move To", which remembers the last used folders or by using some "Move To" User Defined Commands (UDC) (menu User). I assigned a keyboard shortcut to the "Move To" UDC-menu so when it's pressed that menu pops up at the mouse cursor position for easy access. (see screenshot below for how UDC's look like with Custom Keyboard Shortcuts)
  • You can use the tags/comments feature for that (although I have no experience with them. I did add the tagging buttons to the toolbar (also see screenshot) but haven't had time to put them to use... Sad )
  • Great!

Thanks for the heads up, Renegade.

Quote from: Renegade/Ryan on Cynic.me
Now, if I can be forgiven for being so bold, the design at the Super Simple web site is pretty good. The artwork is clean and well presented. Could it be better? Sure. Is it going to win any design contests? No. Is it well presented and attractive? Absolutely. And I did everything there… kind of…

You are right, (the design of) the site is good. Thmbsup It's also very funny.
One small suggestion on the design though: make it clearer that the search box is an search box. Now the design is the same as the bar next to it, which is confusing.
