hi there,

still adding programs... just noticed that LCB doesn't accept program icons from 16-bit files. any plans to modify this?


also, what about an option to auto-unselect from view any apps that are not available, e.g. those running from removable/network drives...

hi there,

i'm a long-time user of Arcanewood's Enchanted Toolbar but however your impressive screen-shots persuaded me into trying out LBC... After 20mins of adding apps to the launch-bar, I must say that "Preferences" window could use a taskbar button as the preferences window disappears once it loses focus especially if the main-window (aka the docking window) is set to "Not on Top" and the icon is removed form the systray as well... Now Alt-tab is only way to bring the Preferences window to the foreground...

i'll make further progress reports as i go on... ;-)

hi there KaysLover,

hi there alexp

not sure if this is what you want but this AHK script might come in handy: Toggle Keys Indicator

another lightweight icons' position saver... Iconicity

[copy or print]
Iconicity a Shell Extension to Align, Save and Restore Desktop Icon positions.

hi there,

this is very much the same as my earlier request...
glad to see that the idea has been floating around. ;-)

[5.0]

hi there mouser,

i know that v2 is on the way but i found a small glitch that i thought that you'd like to know... as the title states if an alias contains entries with dots on the name part then it gets broken... e.g. the code below is broken because of the "5.0"

[copy or print]
Axialis IconWorkshop 5.0 | C:\Program Files\Axialis\IconWorkshop\IconWorkshop.exe
Icon Catcher | C:\Program Files\Tools\Icons\Icon Catcher\IconCatcher.exe
IconSet reg | C:\Windows\System32\regsvr32.exe -s "C:\Program Files\Tools\Icons\IconSet.dll"
IconSet unreg | C:\Windows\System32\regsvr32.exe -s -u "C:\Program Files\Tools\Icons\IconSet.dll"

i have to change it to just "5" then it's fine:

[copy or print]
Axialis IconWorkshop 5 | C:\Program Files\Axialis\IconWorkshop\IconWorkshop.exe
Icon Catcher | C:\Program Files\Tools\Icons\Icon Catcher\IconCatcher.exe
IconSet reg | C:\Windows\System32\regsvr32.exe -s "C:\Program Files\Tools\Icons\IconSet.dll"
IconSet unreg | C:\Windows\System32\regsvr32.exe -s -u "C:\Program Files\Tools\Icons\IconSet.dll"

so, just letting you know... ;-)

just an update: TONS of work has been done on this over the last week or two, it's really taking shape

yeah! that's cool, mouser... and since my earlier post here, this is one tool that i've been waiting eagerly... ;-)

hi there dtrud0h,

sorry to state the obvious, but have you updated your mom's pc at www.windowsupdate.com?

i also always make it a point to run these apps, whenever i install Xp in a new pc as a preventive measure...
Shoot The Messenger
UnPlug n' Pray
SpywareBlaster 3.x

and at the risk of sounding didactic, here's an article that you may find handy... 10 things you should do to a new PC before surfing the Web

anyway, good luck

hi there,

there is also Project Gutenberg's Audio eBooks which is a repository for older books that is not protected by copyrights, for those who enjoy classics...

hi there

Skrommel, wasn't there a similar program called Ghoster also by you...?

best regards,
lanux

hi there ChippyLasticko,

i had a similar request and Skrommel graciously wrote this program - WinWarden.
See if you can have a use for it... ;-)


best regards,
lanux

yeah, i did but the author replied saying he's not developing the software anymore...

hi there mouser,

i found another instance of the RichEdit error... ;-)
this time the error propped up in this program, Icon Factory 1.1...

hi there mouser,

i'm not a fan of GDS but if u need any help in creating the plug-in, look here:

• Google Desktop ID
  
• Integrate Google Desktop into Firefox
  

these are for firefox actually. but i'm confident that you'll find a way to adapt them into F&RR...

best regards,
lanux

hi there,

just a mention about Ghoster's sister app - Zorro...

Description:
Zorro is a utility to completely blank the screen except for a rectangular area selected by the user.
This is especially useful for watching videos on your computer without being distracted by other programs.

Freeware. For Windows 95, 98, Me, NT, 2000, XP, and 2003 Server.

Dang it... just noticed nontroppo has posted this in another thread. Sorry, forget this.

hi there kfitting,

since nontroppo's thread has a different title, i thought that it'd be better if i posted here too...
for the record, i'm having the same version number but didn't realize that the most *current* version is 1.07.20 until mouser made it a sticky... ;-)



best regards,
lanux

Well, how about a clue instead buddy? Do you enjoy spelling? Don't give up - Crack on!

hahaha... at last i've got it! ;-)
tks for not disclosing the answer, mike...

best regards,
lanux

its not you lanux, its nighted pics from the official site in the very post.

oops, sorry for the confusion...

best regards,
lanux

the pictures in your first post - they are gone.  guess they were linked to the original site and the original site took the pictures away?

is it one of my screenshots? all my screenshots are hosted at ImageShack®.
maybe they had something to do with it... ;-)
i try not to hot-link from other web-sites...

best regards,
lanux

maybe the first plugin will simply be a plugin that can shell a command to a commandline app, capture the output, and display it nicely in the results window - seems like that would be useful for lots of things like this.

aye, mouser. maybe this would be helpful...

[copy or print]
How can the output of a command line operation be retrieved?

A small freeware utility cb.zip (4 KB) captures up to 512 KB of output from a command or program.
The text is captured to the clipboard, which a script can access via the clipboard variable. For example:
RunWait %comspec% /c dir | cb.exe
MsgBox %clipboard%

hi there alexp,

in the meantime, if you had added your system folder into F&RR's search list then you can simply type "cpl" & a list will prop up...
fyi, i restricted my search to 9 items...


anyone doing it in a different way is welcome to share their ideas... ;-)

best regards,
lanux

in other words, yes let's add this, but let's add it as a plugin.

that's no problem, i'll just wait for it then. tks mouser... ;-)

In XP I simply duplicated the _default.pif, renamed it and changed its settings.

in the meantime, nontroppo's alias is a fine replacement...

best regards,
lanux
