476  Other Software / Developer's Corner / Re: Not Unicode? on: April 28, 2012, 02:45:24 AM
Is there ever any compelling reason to not use Unicode?
1) When using a compiler/runtime lib that doesn't (natively) support unicode... (ex. Delphi / BCB < 2009)

Sounds like Windows is terribly hosed in some way. A re-install should work wonders... undecided
478  Main Area and Open Discussion / General Software Discussion / Re: windows xp sound device problems on: April 27, 2012, 08:58:09 AM
About b)

Windows 7 has an animation in the volume controls if sounds is actually 'passing through' that channel. Hm, I now see that XP doesn't have that ohmy

You could check if the Wave channel is accidentally muted: (just like Carol said)

A few silly questions, but they have to be asked:
a) Do you have the correct drivers installed? (No exclamations/warnings in the system hardware configuration?)
b) Does any sound produced give a VU-meter like animation in the extended volume controller?
c) Are the speakers plugged into the right (green-ringed usually) output connector?
d) Do the speakers work on another system?

Yes, a missing pgno is 0, I've made it somewhat tolerant for input, so that "pgno1", "pgno 1", "pgno-1", "pgno -1" or "pgno - 1" all result in page 1 (and multiple spaces are allowed as well).
I could make it more flexible if needed, by also allowing "pg", "pgn", "pgnr" or "page" instead of "pgno", but I didn't do that yet.
481  DonationCoder.com Software / Post New Requests Here / Re: CSV/Excel Parsing & Formatting Utility on: April 26, 2012, 03:43:46 PM
Saira, would the pgno 'trick' be applicable to the (song...) lines as well?
482  DonationCoder.com Software / Post New Requests Here / Re: CSV/Excel Parsing & Formatting Utility on: April 26, 2012, 11:56:11 AM
I'll add that, that's not too difficult smiley
483  DonationCoder.com Software / Post New Requests Here / Re: CSV/Excel Parsing & Formatting Utility on: April 26, 2012, 02:49:08 AM
@Saira: Can you attach here, or e-mail me, a sample please?
484  DonationCoder.com Software / Post New Requests Here / Re: CSV/Excel Parsing & Formatting Utility on: April 25, 2012, 10:33:11 AM
@Saira: I'll see how to add that, as these 'song'-lines won't fall into the category of "Missing Dialogue"... You want these also added to the error report?

@Renegade: csv is easily handled by the XLSX library (EPPlus, extension of ExcelPackage, both on CodePlex) that I use to write the Excel .xlsx files Cool

485  DonationCoder.com Software / Post New Requests Here / Re: CSV/Excel Parsing & Formatting Utility on: April 25, 2012, 02:54:52 AM
I've pre-released a version of AMDER (v0.7, not yet openly released, but that shouldn't take much longer) to Saira, that has support for reading this file-format into the desired result for further processing.
Saira will be testing this, but I assume this request can be marked resolved. smiley
486  Main Area and Open Discussion / General Software Discussion / Re: automate database building on: April 25, 2012, 02:30:59 AM
as for the pdfs, an example is this:
http://www.purolite.com/R.../Regen%20Chem%20Specs.pdf
(renamed as Hydrochloric Muriatic Acid.pdf)
Does that mean there are more then 1 chemical components described in 1 pdf file, or is this the kind of resulting pdf you want to have output eventually?

And how are the chemical components in the 'word list' separated from each other, by comma's or each on a new line? Or just try to find a word as a pdf, if not there, add the next word and retry, etc.?

+1 for 7-Zip, and if you want to minimize clicks, turn off 'Cascaded context menu' in Options/7-Zip, so Extract Here and Extract to <folder> are directly available in the right-click context menu. Less than 2 clicks is useless imho, would you want all your zip-files to be extracted on double-click?
488  DonationCoder.com Software / Screenshot Captor / Re: Dual Monitor Issues-Screen goes to black on: April 24, 2012, 02:53:02 PM
Hi, welcome to the site smiley

A few questions:
- You have the latest drivers for both video adapters installed? (check manufacturer's website, Windows update doesn't have 'm all up to date)
- You have the current ScreenShotCaptor downloaded?
489  Main Area and Open Discussion / General Software Discussion / Re: automate database building on: April 24, 2012, 02:24:47 PM
Probably needs more explanation, because I can't comprehend, even after reading it 3 times in a row embarassed
490  DonationCoder.com Software / Post New Requests Here / Re: CSV/Excel Parsing & Formatting Utility on: April 24, 2012, 12:08:42 PM
Andy, I'm already working on another util for Saira that needs this data added/inserted. I'll add this as a feature with that tool Wink
491  Main Area and Open Discussion / General Software Discussion / Re: Make icons in 'Show hidden icons' LARGE ? on: April 24, 2012, 07:49:46 AM
What didn't change in size was, the icons in mention!!
Even after a re-logon (as required by this settings-change) or, more radically, a reboot?
492  DonationCoder.com Software / Post New Requests Here / Re: CSV/Excel Parsing & Formatting Utility on: April 24, 2012, 01:31:30 AM
I'll integrate this in the error-report utility I made for Saira, AMDER, later today. Should be easy, as the error-report features are already there.

AMDER will be released sometime later this week.
493  DonationCoder.com Software / Screenshot Captor / Re: Capturing Aero-child-windows on: April 22, 2012, 04:36:02 AM
Hm, I think it's a limitation of Windows, not being able to minimize/hide the parent if a modal child-windows is in front of it.
494  DonationCoder.com Software / Find And Run Robot / Re: Include Windows 7 Start Button Search Results in FARR? on: April 22, 2012, 03:58:23 AM
Wouldn't that be achieved by adding the All Users 'C:\Users\All Users\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu' and Current User 'C:\Users\[Ath]\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu' (ofc by using the proper variables, that I didn't investigate) into the Search Folders configuration?

Hm, wraith808 said that quote, I only +1'd it  Wink
496  Main Area and Open Discussion / Living Room / Re: Thoughts in remembrance of the 6 million (est.) murdered in the Holocaust on: April 20, 2012, 01:08:19 PM
+1 like wraith808, but you could exclude a forum or thread if the content isn't 'your cup of tea'?
497  Main Area and Open Discussion / General Software Discussion / Re: Error message when i restart my pc on: April 20, 2012, 04:58:16 AM
@hulkbuster, did you understand what Stephen66515 wrote there? The 'autocheck' stuff actually belongs there, or did you remove other stray stuff we can't see any more?
498  DonationCoder.com Software / Finished Programs / Re: DONE: Windows software shortcut (LNK) creator on: April 19, 2012, 01:59:15 PM
Chris,
What tool/language/environment do you use for tools like these? AHK? (missed that info from the posts you made the last couple of days embarassed)
499  Main Area and Open Discussion / General Software Discussion / Re: Help me choose an online backup service on: April 19, 2012, 12:10:22 PM
if you can convince Java that it shouldn't be using so much of your system memory, and perform garbage collection more frequently
You actually can. By calling the static method System.gc(); a number of times (3 to 8 seems appropriate), that way you shift so many discarded objects into the 'destroy' bin that the memory is actually released. That can cost you performance for a few hundred milliseconds, but it is often worth the effort.

It also helps to not have circular object-references within discarded objects in your application, but that's ofcourse a matter of carefully crafting your application, and/or null-ing an object or 2 in the right place & time Cool

Memory management in (long-running) Java applications is just as important as memory management in a C/C++ application thumbs up
