General Software Discussion / Re: Software to easily and quickly browse a sound library (and hear previews)?

@Deo, also, if you need support for more formats, you can grab them at the Un4Seen website: https://www.un4seen.com/   (scroll down to the AddOns section).

It appears to just be an audio player from the website. And it does not work for my needs.

-Deozaan (December 10, 2020, 10:11 AM)

Deo, it needs bass.dll for more format support.  Download this: https://www.un4seen..../download.php?bass24 and put bass.dll in the same folder as 1by1.exe.  Restart 1by1 and you should have much better luck.

- A click-through Option (suggested by bandit012345)

-hxr404 (November 13, 2020, 10:12 AM)

This could be done.  Added in the beta build below.  Please test.

- Transparent Gif's should display transparent instead of white

-hxr404 (November 13, 2020, 10:12 AM)

AutoHotkey doesn't handle animated GIFs natively, so I'm not certain if this would be possible.  After several hours, and 47 builds later, I think I have this working properly now in the beta below. Transparency should work for animated GIFs as well.  Please test.

- An Option to do Animations with png Files e.g. a fps option, and a option to specify a folder full of png's (the frames)

-hxr404 (November 13, 2020, 10:12 AM)

This is out of scope for this application.  However, with the current options available within Frameless, you should be able to accomplish what you want with your own batch or AHK script.

« on: November 11, 2020, 03:09 PM »

Here's my take on this snack: http://www.dcmembers...nacks/TB_Battery.zip

Still early and not feature complete, but the basic functionality is there.  It looks like this:



Notes:

• Currently, it updates every fifteen seconds (will be made configurable at some point).
• A plus in front of the battery glyph shows that you're charging (plugged in) while a minus shows that you're discharging (not plugged in).
• Exiting from the tray icon should clean up the titlebars' text.
• This suffers from the same issue as Chris' in that windows that constantly update their titlebar text will remove the battery info.  However, the fifteen second timer will bring it back.

« on: October 06, 2020, 10:27 PM »

In these situations, and especially with the "filename too long" problems, another thing I always try is to use the 7-Zip GUI interface to see if I can get to the folder and delete it from within 7-Zip.  Sounds strange, but it works quite often.

Cool idea and mockup.    Unfortunately, with standard Windows menus like Explorer uses, I do not think this is possible.  Microsoft Office does not use standard Windows menus, hence its ability to do what you see in that screenshot above.

Try using a different IP like Google's DNS servers.  8.8.8.8 or 4.4.4.4
Also, make sure the "Fire alert only once per consecutive host down events" option is checked as well.

Finished Programs / Re: SOLVED: Quick toggle some monitors

« on: June 17, 2020, 03:41 PM »

Got it working.   
Problem solved.

The GUI was useful as the monitor #s were not what one would expect.
The SwitchOnOff commandline option worked imperfectly to toggle the monitors (one monitor was not toggling back on properly), so I used 2 hotkeys in AHK, one to turn the monitors off, and another to turn them back on.

-mouser (June 17, 2020, 03:29 PM)

Right on.  I'll move this thread.

Right on.  I'm sure you'll find out soon enough but, to work properly, the monitors would have to be DDC/CI capable.

Finished Programs / Re: SOLVED: Quick toggle some monitors

« on: June 17, 2020, 09:54 AM »

This is actually pretty tricky programmatically.  I'd recommend using Nir Sofer's MultiMonitorTool program.  It's a GUI program, but fully commandline controllable.  You could easily create a toggle shortcut like this:

[Select]

c:\path\to\MultiMonitorTool.exe /SwitchOffOn 2 3 4

Of course, run the tool first to get the proper monitor numbers.

• You cannot create three letter folders or files with the following names: aux, con, nul, & prn
• The DOS move command _does_ work for folders.
