I would try adding `n to the end of your Sendinputs.  If that does not work try `r`n  for spacing tabs may be useful...  `t

-MilesAhead (April 17, 2016, 08:11 AM)

When I add `n, for :date I get:

[Select]

2016-04-17
2016-04-17    06:14:10    START
2016-04-17    06:14:10    FINISH

for :ts I get:

[Select]

2016-04-17    06:14:17    START
2016-04-17    06:14:17    FINISH

For :tf I get:

[Select]

2016-04-17    06:14:20    FINISH

With `r`n it is the same but with added "enters".

What I would like to get is 2016-04-17 for :date, 2016-04-17    06:14:10    START for :ts, and 2016-04-17    06:14:10    FINISH for :tf.

Those hotstrings work fine for me in a text editor.  What type of app are you trying to use them within?

They do work, but they do not produce results I wanted them to (see above).

General Software Discussion / Problem with AHK time stamping

« on: April 17, 2016, 02:53 AM »

I am using AHK script for text expansion and I've run into some problems with time stamps. Up to now I've been using only one time stamp (date, first one in the code), but after I added two more I messed up everything.

Code excerpt:

[Select]

:*::date::
FormatTime, CurrentDate,, yyyy-MM-dd ; This is one type of the date format
SendInput, %CurrentDate%

:*::st::
FormatTime, CurrentStartTime,, yyyy-MM-dd    hh:mm:ss ; This is one type of the date format
SendInput, %CurrentStartTime%    START

:*::ft::
FormatTime, CurrentFinishTime,, yyyy-MM-dd    hh:mm:ss ; This is one type of the date format
SendInput, %CurrentFinishTime%    FINISH

They generate:

[Select]

2016-04-172016-04-17,   09:51:55    START2016-04-17,   09:51:55    FINISH
2016-04-17    09:51:59    START2016-04-17    09:51:59    FINISH
2016-04-17    09:52:01    FINISH

While I would like them to generate:

[Select]

2016-04-17
2016-04-17    09:51:59    START
2016-04-17    09:52:01    FINISH

What did I do wrong?

Wait, that is also possible? Could you elaborate on how to do it? I just did a quick search online, but it seems it is only possible for audio and video recorded by OneNote?

Worked like a charm, thank you for sharing.

I had to change all icons since they are white and my FARR background is white, so it annoyed me to see "nothing".

Kind of a farr cry from the index-free...

General Software Discussion / Re: Anyone using Blackbird?

« on: February 17, 2016, 03:06 PM »

It is Slovenian, I think. "Blokada virusa" could be Croatian, Serbian, Bosnian or Slovenian, but "obiskovalca" sounds pretty Slovenian.

Weird case, I thought it was my only problem...

Just tried to download x64 version, and it is blocked with warning "Virus Blocked".

The funny thing is that I don't have AV which influences my browser(s) in such a way.

Maybe it is a W10 thing...

All apps for Win 8/8.1/10 that come from the Windows Store.

On Win 10 they are available from the start menu, mixed with regular programs. See attached screenshot (circled in red).

Portal - Curtain

Australian experimental death metal. Even if the music isn't your cup of tea it is worth watching just for the video - an adaptation of Edgar Allen Poe's poem "The Conqueror Worm".

Find And Run Robot / FARR and Windows apps

« on: February 04, 2016, 02:33 PM »

My first idea was to find where the apps are installed and simply point FARR to that location so I can launch what I want, but alas, it is a big hassle to open that folder. And once you revert security setting FARR cannot reach that folder anymore.

Any elegant way for using FARR to run Windows apps?

Coding Snacks / Re: 30SecondSilencer - add silence every 30 seconds to an mp3 file

« on: January 10, 2016, 06:48 AM »

Nod5, thank you for making the script. With addition of editable music and silence parts this script is great utility for making various training soundtracks, e.g. for circuit training, intervals, tabatas, and sparring / randori sessions...

It is better than using stopwatch and manually operating stereo equipment, puts a lot more pressure.

I see the problem, my bad. I fixed it in the post above. It should work now.

No errors pop out, but I also cannot find final mp3. I see work folder being filled with chunks, but after it is finished everything is deleted except:

General Software Discussion / Adding silence to audio track?

« on: January 09, 2016, 06:49 AM »

I have several hour-long audio tracks to which I have to add silence. It should go 30 seconds of music, 30 seconds of silence, and so on, until the end of track.

My first try was Audacity, which can add silence, but I couldn't figure it out how to add it to the whole track in same interval.

Any recommendations?

General Software Discussion / LibreOffice Online with ownCloud integration

« on: December 18, 2015, 02:21 AM »

Interesting project. On ghacks.net it is summarised as a virtual machine that brings LibreOffice Online and ownCloud server together. Excerpt from Collabora's press release:

Collabora, the architects of LibreOffice Online, are proud to announce the release of CODE (Collabora Online Development Edition), a distribution of LibreOffice Online and ownCloud Server. The purpose of CODE is to give interested developers from any field an easy way to get early access to the very latest untested feature additions and updates to LibreOffice Online, in order to enable them to develop, test, and contribute.

This release also marks the start of a partnership between Collabora and ownCloud, the company behind the world’s most popular open source enterprise file sync and share (EFSS) software. The partnership will deliver a combined commercial solution during 2016, based on an integration between Collabora CloudSuite – a trio of Online, Mobile and Desktop office productivity combined with ownCloud Server.

Clipboard Help+Spell / Re: CHS suddenly stopped working

« on: October 26, 2015, 07:33 AM »

Turning off Avira didn't help, but changing "Temporary DB file location" to Database "temp" sub-directory seems to have solved all problems.

 CHS was working fine, and I had it on Win 10 since it was released. My problems started when I moved to Japan, last week, but I think that is just a coincidence. Maybe some Win10 update broke it.
