The real question is, what's the option to turn off this behavior, and if there is no option for it? Surely they would have an option for it.

at the time when I installed Picasa (Nov. 2011) there was no option. Which was pretty bad (I found the permissions-workaround via search at the time). I havent updated Picasa since (never use it) so dont know current situation...

^arranged that for you app

(what can I say - I *should* be doing something very boring...)

markdown - isn't that what Wikipedia uses?
(if so, go to a page there Tao, and click edit to see what it looks like)

Where is Picasa getting the file from?  Some temp directory?

I presume it steals the printscreen key, and either makes the screenshot itself, or uses wiondow's screenshot capability (probably the latter, which makes a bmp and places it on the clipboard).

Why do you ask?

This is Picassa being helpful whether you want that help or not...

On my older Picasa install is made the folder under My Pics. There's no related settings in Options. I forget how I stopped it, and I dont have the most recent Picasa version - best do a search about how to stop it.
(I think I had to completely stop access to the folder - I see Folder Properties>Security/Permissions is set to 'deny')

Ok, here's my latest try: (see attachment in previous post)
Too much more warning and we're going to get into the silly zone..

lol

I'm sorry to be just negative, but the only way this can be made acceptable imo, is, if the warning were to have a bigger font and a better colour than the download button (red preferably):

^What's up with these Google AdSense robot pseudo-posts in the forums?

Here's what the thread Weather Alert (As service or tray apps) (about flooding in the Philipines) looks like:

In the video on that page they very sensibly start by defining their terms. I was a bit suprised at the definition though:

[attachthumb=#]

"The use of cognitive SKILLS and STRATEGIES to increase the likelihood of a desirable outcome"

It gives the impression of it being more about manipulation than about objectivity.


Did a search (duckduckgo) -
here was the first result (www.criticalthinking.com):

Critical thinking is the identification and evaluation of evidence to guide decision making. A critical thinker uses broad in-depth analysis of evidence to make decisions and communicate his/her beliefs [..]

-
in this definition the objectivity comes first and the decision (desirable outcome?) comes after.

Not saying anything against the site or anything - just suprised.

I thought they were just going to be text ads

Here's what it looks like with FF + adblock extension:

My biggest problems with AV's are when downloading - they tend to not only check the download but also the contents of the download folder which tends to be over-full - or simply when navigating within any file dialogue (save/open).
I guess those two overlap.

MSE used to really slow things down as per above, but it has improved and stabilised the last few months.

I believe this was meant to be added to this thread:

I like this track and the video (I tend to forget this thread is "music videos")
track is from 1971, probably most of the footage too (some is slightly and briefly NSFW I guess).
Video made/edited by the uploader.

lol, you get an honourable mention *here* - "more for the content than for the number"

this one gets in more for the content than for the number

Sorry... I meant to post this to the existing post "Linkman 8.80 released ".

can some moderater attach it to the other thread? (or is it only mouser can do that? - in which case, can mouser do it )

^In my experience, 'quarantine' without warning or explanation is often the default

Any way, here are the screenshots, which the choices were slightly different this time, compared to what I described above, but still just as annoying.

especially sneaky the way the [cancel] button is greyed out as if it's not an option

I just updated PDFcreator - http://www.pdfforge.org/ -
(all updates have to be manually installed)
it is a really great PDF printer - as good as Adobe distiller in my experience - mind you I havent used more recent versions of that.

But they've taken to fairly sneaky opt-out options which vary from one update to the next. With one recent update, you were led to believe that you had reached the final "install pdfcreator" window, then they snuk in another opt-out - I actually clicked yes to that one and had to do a system restore afterwards (didnt trust anything else).

So here's todays experience:

Advanced are now called "Expert settings / set server mode, etc. ..."
Mind goes - I dont need server mode - next!

[attachimg=#]

this one is okay - nothing pre-selected

[attachimg=#]

this one is kind sneaky too I think:
the untickbox is for terms and conditions - only after that do they say: "and want to install xyz"

[attachimg=#]

In spite of this messing around I'll repeat my recommendation -
if you need control of your PDFs and a printer that works well with vectors, this is the one for you.

Thanks mouser -
I hadnt known about the Control one(s) -
that way why I was getting unexpected behaviour
(I had thought that the other ones worked with control).

What are the shortcuts for tweaking the selection area?
They may be in the helpfile but I coulnt find.
(I think these shortcuts might be working a bit wonky - or maybe it just me)

To be 100% clear:
Select an area.
Hold mouse over one edge and check the "zoom-box" bottom left in main pane.
Various shortcuts work to move that edge, one pixel at a time.

TBH I can never remember them and chance my arm and usually figure it out.

I tried Ctrl+Arrowkeys and Ctrl+Alt+Arrowkeys and Crtl+Shift+Arrowkeys.
All seemed to work, but today they appear to affect the frame at both sides, i.e. the selection-box moves, instead of becoming one pixel smaller (or bigger) on one side.

So maybe if someone could tell me which shortcuts I *should* be using, hopefully then I'll understand better/explain better what's happening.
Thanks.

that's the thing,
I dont think it was meant to be (a) a proverb; or (b) deep
