Skwire Empire / Re: Release: sWeather (tray-based weather app)
« on: September 08, 2019, 11:21 AM »
I've been aware of sWeather for a number of years and am sure that skwire is a trustworthy developer, but is it possible that this file has been tampered with or are these all just false positives?
-leftdisconnected (September 08, 2019, 12:40 AM)

I just downloaded it and checked its SHA-256 hash against my local copy.  If you're downloading it from my DonationCoder site, it has not been tampered with.

SHA-256 hash: 33A19E4117DE230A0E9CBCF692BEEB4FEDC4075C8CA3001E91BB8C1AF1334779

Thank you for taking the time to write.  These are false positives that come and are due to the language my applications are written in (AutoHotkey/AHK).  In the past, as a test, I've  written a single line AHK script and compiled it:

Code: Autohotkey [Select]
  1. F1:: ExitApp

That's it...one hotkey to exit the script.  Even that wouldn't come up clean on VirusTotal.  I know it's only my word, but I can state that there is no malware in any of my
 applications that are downloaded directly from my site.  That said, I cannot vouch for the various software repository sites that list my software as some of them wrap my software into their adware-bundled installers.  This perturbs me, but there is little I can do about it.  For the record, I do not submit my software directly to any of these types of sites; they pick my programs up automatically.

Years ago, when the AV companies were a lot fewer, I used to contact them about stuff like this.  Things would get fixed but, due to the AV updates, false positives would, inevitably, occur again. I got tired of dealing with it, so now I just shrug and trust that my body of work speaks for itself.  I know it sounds terribly apathetic, but fighting it just isn't worth the cycles anymore.  Cheers.

Skwire Empire / Re: sWeather Stopped Working on New Year.
« on: August 25, 2019, 10:54 PM »
I have Windows 7, and from to time sWeather just stops working for me - it doesn't start up with Windows, and when I try to start it manually, it simply won't open. I have to download a fresh copy from the website to make it start, and it happened to me twice already since May. What am I doing wrong?? Is it supposed to be installed in some kind of special directory? (mine installed in Program Files)
-comp (August 25, 2019, 10:46 PM)

If you're going to run it from the Program Files folder, you will need to run it with Administrator rights.  To run it without Administrator rights, you will need to move it to a non-UAC protected folder.

Mouser, did you mean SpiderOak here and not Crashplan?

Coding Snacks / Re: change f.lux brightness mouse remote (like Volume²)
« on: July 03, 2019, 08:56 AM »
I have AutoHotkey installed, but couldn't get your code to work. No idea why... :(
-brotherS (July 03, 2019, 05:32 AM)

Did you save out the code to a something.ahk file and then run it?

Coding Snacks / Re: change f.lux brightness mouse remote (like Volume²)
« on: July 02, 2019, 07:04 PM »
Do you have AutoHotkey installed?  If so, try out this simple script:

Code: Autohotkey [Select]
  1. myEdgePixels := 10
  2.  
  3. ~WheelUp::
  4. ~WheelDown::
  5. {
  6.     MouseGetPos, myX
  7.     If ( ( A_ScreenWidth - myX ) <= myEdgePixels )
  8.     {
  9.         If ( A_ThisHotkey = "~WheelUp" )
  10.         {
  11.             SendInput, !{Up} ; Send Alt+Up.
  12.         }
  13.         If ( A_ThisHotkey = "~WheelDown" )
  14.         {
  15.             SendInput, !{Down} ; Send Alt+Down.
  16.         }
  17.     }
  18. }
  19. Return

If you don't have AutoHotkey installed, let me know, and I'll compile this into an executable.  Also, I don't have f.lux installed, so this is untested.

Skwire Empire / Re: sWeather Not Refreshing
« on: July 01, 2019, 04:02 PM »
Does the actual weather data that sWeather displays match with what shows in the raw weather data?

133
Skwire Empire / Re: sWeather Not Refreshing
« on: July 01, 2019, 03:53 PM »
Bring up sWeather and choose Options > Show raw weather data from the menu (or press F7).  In the webpage that comes up, look for the "lastBuildDate" line, e.g.: <lastBuildDate>Mon, 01 Jul 2019 03:49 PM CDT</lastBuildDate>

If it matches the "08:00 AM CDT" that's showing in sWeather, the problem is on Yahoo! Weather side.  If so, this usually works itself out over a matter of hours (sometimes days).

Can't see any of the problem characters. Also would it be possible to default the naming to capitalizing? Just the actual name not the other listings.
-nickodemos (May 24, 2019, 09:50 PM)

Doh, that was an error on my part.  Please redownload.  It should be v1.0.0 build 15 now.

Also would it be possible to default the naming to capitalizing? Just the actual name not the other listings.
-nickodemos (May 24, 2019, 09:50 PM)

Do you mean you want to be able to type something like "a nightmare on elm street" and have it use "A Nightmare On Elm Street" in the actual rename?  If so, yes, it's possible, but I think it's completely counter-intuitive to what would be expected by the majority of users.  I think the majority of users would want the name to appear exactly how they typed it in the field.

Give this a testing, please.

I have coded in quite a bit of error checking but, until we get any kinks worked out, please work on copies of your files.

Yes. Are there options to be able to add or remove things in the drop down menues?
-nickodemos (May 14, 2019, 07:06 PM)

Yes, the buttons next to the dropdown are edit buttons.  The "..." are just placeholders; they will be replaced with the typical edit image (pencil).

Most of the functionality is in place.  I'm assuming the following screenshot is pretty close to what you had in mind?

Living Room / Re: Got new phone, is there an easy way to transfer my settings/apps/data?
« on: May 13, 2019, 09:03 AM »
If I use Phone Explorer to backup the apps, will it work?
-kalos (May 12, 2019, 12:11 PM)

We don't know.  Try it and report back.

Will the settings be backed up too?
-kalos (May 12, 2019, 12:11 PM)

Based on my own experiences as an Android user for over a decade, the answer is sometimes, for some apps, your settings will transfer over.  Sometimes they will not.  Sometimes, an app will offer a settings export feature that results in a file you can import on your new phone.  It's all part of the fun.  Haha.

Can I just restore the backup to my new device?
-kalos (May 12, 2019, 12:11 PM)

Try.  It.  You have absolutely nothing to lose by trying it.

Why not just use Streamlink Twitch GUI?

« on: April 04, 2019, 02:41 PM »
@MourningStar:  The other thing you could do is use the "Apps Key" to bring up the context menu (after selecting your files), and then use arrow keys to choose what you want from the menu.

Post New Requests Here / Re: "IDEA" : Key to Replace Context Menu R-Clik Program Start On Selected
« on: April 04, 2019, 02:34 PM »
So are you saying that you want a contextual keymap based on the application that is foregrounded?
-wraith808 (April 03, 2019, 01:02 PM)

No, I don't think so.  He wants to automate, with a hotkey, the "right-click > choose some context menu action" one does after, typically, selecting files.

@MourningStar: Because right-click shell stuff like this is quite tricky to automate, you might want to look at Cautomaton, released by Worstje, one of the coders here on DC.

I'm not sure what to tell you other than to shorten your filenames.
