Thanks for the clarification -- I am happy to be using the version with socket support (and it is nice to hear from the creator that that's probably ok ).

Thanks as usual, Ehtyar 

Re: 8 - I keep wondering whether some feedback loop will form w.r.t. ads and you might end up seeing only one ad wherever you go (at least for a while -- then at some point may be you'll start to see another ad, but it'll just be that one for another while...)

Some repeated text?

For example, a section starting:

But how, specifically,

Thanks for the clarification.

I think it is worth noting that at least one of them (the former one mentioned in my earlier post) doesn't appear to support the FARR.newTCPSocket().  If you don't mind, perhaps you could update that one or confirm whether it supports FARR.newTCPSocket().

[Javascript]

So, I finally tried this out -- actually I ported the code so I could use it w/ vanilla fscript.  In the process of trying to get it to work, I became puzzled by the following code:

Formatted for Javascript with the GeSHI Syntax Highlighter [copy or print]
    trigger:function(path, title, groupname, pluginid, thispluginid, score, entrytype, args, triggermode) {
        if(entrytype!="fftab")
            return;

That didn't work for me, but something analogous to the following did:

Formatted for Javascript with the GeSHI Syntax Highlighter [copy or print]
    trigger:function(path, title, groupname, pluginid, thispluginid, score, entrytype, args, triggermode) {
        if(groupname!="fftab")
            return;

After making the appropriate change (and using the appropriate FScript.dll included in the CZBFSubScript.zip attached to the OP) it appears to be working locally.  Prety neat!  Now if I could get myself to switch back to FF

Nice work 

A side note -- I compared checksums of the FScript.dll (1.15) mentioned in this thread:

  http://e.craft.free.fr/farr/FScript/
  SHA-1: 5f71f21959139002bb022d0c7ae9d0f1edc83ca6

to that of the one (also comes up as 1.15?) included in CZBFSubScript.zip in the following thread:

  http://www.donationcoder....m/index.php?topic=16942.0
  SHA-1: 96bba6cb3480025bc7e357cc143eec2c0b4f7605

I suspected the files were different after failing to get the socket stuff to work with the former one.

Congratulations!  Glad that it's working for you

(Thanks to Ehtyar for bringing up ImageMagick -- it's been years since I've used it -- didn't know there was a Windows port!)

as i said i would be very happy with a plugin that does not try to handle precedence

As I understand it, it's a problem to not address the precedence issue.

Perhaps one useful way of looking at this situation is to see that multiple plugins trying to handle file extensions is potentially murky.  If you've got two such plugins installed and both either are configured or set up to handle a particular file extension, which one should end up doing it?

May be I'm misunderstanding how things work in FARR -- perhaps mouser could clarify

Nice thread!

I looked for GetCurDir (or something similar) on Skrommel's 1 HOUR SOFTWARE and didn't succeed at locating anything.

If indeed there isn't anything comparable there, may be it's worth placing GetCurDir on the page

Don't know if the following is of any help, but after looking at:

  http://www.imagemagick.or.../Usage/crop/#crop_percent

I tried the following (with success locally) to get at the right-half of an image:

convert inputimage.extension -gravity east -crop 50%x100% outputimage.extension

FWIW, I noticed a "Offsets in geometry" section in:

  http://imagemagick.org/sc...e-processing.php#geometry

and a bit on -gravity at:

  http://imagemagick.org/sc...-line-options.php#gravity

The following page had some pointers to groups of examples:

I've been using ASuite as I based my installation off of Lupo PenSuite.  It's ok I guess -- has anyone compared this with any of the others mentioned in this thread?

I took a look and my initial impression is that I very much doubt I have the resources or inclination to try to make something like that -- if FARR provided some way for plugins to easily provide configuration panes that integrated with the existing Options dialog, I might consider it, but AFAIK that doesn't exist currently.

I think the kind of thing that might be practical is doing something within the existing User Variables mechanism -- so imagine a potential user is going to be specifying their configuration via the User Variables pane in FARR's Options dialog box.  With this approach we've got:

• Separate sections (e.g. Akete, Akete.Folders, etc.)
• Name, value pairs separated by equals signs

As I understand it, those are our practical building blocks.  Do you have any ideas that can be expressed well using these pieces?

May be there are other practical approaches that don't involve creating basic configuration-related building blocks...I know there is some support available via FARR/FScript for handling INI files, but as I understand it, that's not too different from what User Variables supplies.

If you have any thoughts regarding other approaches, I'm happy to hear them

I have posted a reply at:

http://www.donationcoder....16178.msg154844#msg154844

if AketeFolder plugin was first then the same questions about precedence would have arised with Akete plugin 

My leaning on this issue so far has been not to do a separate plugin -- it may have seemed like it because of the configuration example, but actually that configuration example would work fine from a suitably modified Akete plugin.

The motivation for me to split the configuration sections into Akete and Akete.Folders was because my impression is that handling the configuration is clearer -- I think that everything living in the Akete section makes for a mess in terms of design as well as in terms of users specifying configurations.

with an hyper complex filtering system where you could see things like :

(if the extension of the file is xxx
AND
if the file is in Folder yyyy
AND
file has been modified within zz hours)
then open with notepad++

Do you think you could start spelling out specifically how this kind of thing would be specified by a user?

Perhaps the following will get the ball rolling:

• http://imagemagick.org/script/mogrify.php
• http://imagemagick.org/sc...d-line-options.php#rotate
• http://imagemagick.org/sc...and-line-options.php#crop
• http://imagemagick.org/sc...-line-options.php#extract
• http://imagemagick.org/sc...e-processing.php#geometry

Translated -- how about something like the following?

• use mogrify to rotate
• use mogrify with crop or extract to get at one page
• use mogrify with crop or extract to get at the other page

Perhaps there are other options to mogrify that would be better choices

Don't know what platform is relevant here, but if it's Windows, may be the following will be of some use:

Re: 9: Definitely interesting w.r.t. djbdns.  FWIW, I had years of trouble-free system administration thanks to qmail and djbdns -- I don't worship him, but I am thankful for his existence and efforts

Thanks again, Ehtyar!

[BugFix] Some computers had fonts with large linespacings which could cause mpq to oversize characters resulting in cut-off text. New code takes line spacing into account

So far it's looking pretty good   Thanks for your work on the fix!

In case my attempt at humor failed -- my previous post was meant as an invitation to try to jointly explore the precedence issue further.  My intention was to point out that I'm not the only one who could try to come to some resolution with regard to precedence -- nor that it has to be done by just one person

Do you mean the ones referenced at the following?

http://www.donationcoder....m/index.php?topic=15607.0

FWIW, I had some luck w/ the first one -- at least I didn't have any difficulty using it to complete the first programming school assignment for an FF extension.  May be it changed?

I still don't have a good idea about how to handle precedence resolution -- and as far as I understand, there are many other entities on the planet capable of thought

Congratulations for figuring out the issue -- and thanks for your efforts of investigation

I am looking forward to the next version of Shape Collage -- hope work on that goes well!

Thanks again for Shape Collage 

Ah, that makes sense.

for medium to fast typists, those hotkeys are triggered when using ctrl+space or alt+space (to trigger FARR)

I disabled them via the Hotkeys section of FARR's Options dialog -- does that not work for you?

Or may be I am not understanding something here...

I wish you luck with your investigation!

FWIW, I don't know if it will be of any help but I've seen different numbers appear in the error dialog from the GIMP depending on the collage I make.

Thanks for this edition!

Side note: you mean the errors discovered are not part of a contest to see who is paying appropriate attention?    Reminds me of "Find the Fake Ad" (or some such) from Games magazine...
