Non-Windows Software / Code-It is now also writing for Linux
« on: October 28, 2017, 05:18 PM »
Beginning from 2010 I have mentioned Code-It a couple of times, first on https://www.donation....msg213723#msg213723 He ("MikeB") makes software for Windows and sells it suspiciously cheap! Now he is writing for Linux as well; I guess he likes their philosophy on pricing...

For those of you that might be interested -
I have released several new Linux software apps today.
Take a look at http://www.code-it.com/tux.html

Thanks for your continued support and have a GREAT weekend,

Living Room / 60 years. Am I now allowed to be grumpy?
« on: September 08, 2017, 12:39 PM »
Yeah, my b-day is today, the 8'th of September. But the age is 60 now. Ouch, 60!!

.. you come across as someone young at heart  :)
I wil take it as a compliment: Thank you, Darwin,....I think.  8)
Curt - in case I miss it - Happy Birthday!
Thank you, Darwin! Actual (sorry!), I am a little afraid I might miss it myself...

I didn't miss it back then, and I didn't miss it today either. It was nice to be celebrated at work, and I am looking forward to my party tomorrow. What freaks me out is that 10 more years passed by just like that! It's terrifying how fast time goes by. But you won't understand it if you still are young.

"60". Hm... there is something about this number. Am I now allowed to be grumpy?


Definitions of grumpy
adjective
bad-tempered and sulky.

Living Room / Avangate is now 2CHECKOUT
« on: August 30, 2017, 04:31 PM »
Warning: Avangate is now 2CHECKOUT and dodgy :-(
-Original title of this thread:

-but I've modified it a couple of days later, because after emailing forth and back and forth, I now think "it all" was a misunderstanding.

Zoe (Apowersoft Support Center)

Dear user,

Sorry about it, yes, we will just correct it, from our background platform, we just found that your status is normal, you can use it for lifetime, you do not need to renew the program any more.

If you have any further problems or concerns then please feel free to contact us again. Best regards Zoe Apowersoft Support Center

ORIGINAL POST:

I received an email from Avangate <[email protected]> saying my license key for Apowersoft Streaming Audio Recorder is about to expire and I must renew license within 7 days OR PROGRAM WILL STOP WORKING! 

My key is a lifetime key, so I hold it to be a lie.

The homepage told that Avangate now is 2CHECKOUT.

so I now have to warn against Avangate and this 2CHECKOUT  :mad:

http://www.skybound.ca/
+ http://www.skybound.ca/features/#real-time-css
+ discussion forum: https://skybound.tenderapp.com/discussions

It has been more than 5 years since the last time, Skybound Stylizer was mentioned here at DC. Back then they were at version 5, but now they have launched version 7. Free trial, no signup.

Stylizer 7 = $79, but with 30-day money back guarantee. HOWEVER, I simply need to show you this: I upgraded my license key almost 10 years ago - TEN YEARS!  - and yet I have now upgraded to version 7 FOR FREE!!

2017-08-24_001729.gif

The old installer was 15MB, the new is merely 3½MB!

QUOTES BEGIN/

We are proud to present the next chapter in our quest to produce the world's finest CSS editor: Stylizer 7.
Designing CSS manually can be extremely difficult and frustrating. The benefit of Stylizer is that you can quickly fix CSS problems and see how code changes will appear visually.

Say goodbye to the reload button! In Stylizer, your changes are immediately displayed in all browsers, in real-time—literally as you type or move the mouse. This is a substantial productivity boost for designers of all skill levels.


Space bar, click anywhere, style anything
Bullseye transforms your workflow into an efficient process of point, click, and code.

Immediate preview before you even save
Your style sheets open automatically and your changes appear instantly—as you type, click, or drag the mouse.

Switch instantly between major browsers
Side-by-side preview panes make responsive cross-browser design a breeze.


elevator-poster.$(OS).png


HTML Elements:
Stylizer 7 features an all-new HTML Elements panel integrated into Bullseye and designed specifically for CSS. Use it to target hard-to-click elements and to understand the structure of the page you're styling.

THE DOM
Expose the magic behind the scenes. A clear view of your HTML. Stylizer provides a real-time tree of the HTML DOM. Use it to drill down into elements that are invisible or difficult to click with Bullseye, to quickly highlight and target adjacent elements, and to understand the overall structure of the page. The HTML DOM viewer is a compact panel, opens quickly when you need it, and stays out of your way when you don't.

CSS DOM:
Stylizer 7 now features a pane that reveals the entire CSS DOM in real-time. Integrated with Bullseye and synchronized with the Code Grid, this pane provides a new avenue to understanding how the browser is actually interpreting your CSS.

Inline Styles:
Stylizer 7 integrates inline style sheets into Bullseye results—finally. No more unexplained styles appearing to ruin your day.


But that's not all, folks...
    New Look & Feel: We've redrawn the user interface from the top of the menu to the bottom of the breadcrumb to give it a modern, unintrusive feel on both Windows and Mac.

    Customizable Toolbar: You can now customize the toolbar to include additional buttons for your favorites like Stakeout, Rulers, and the all-new HTML Elements panel.

    Windows: 64-bit Binary: Stylizer now runs as a 64-bit application on Windows, and the browser plugins have been updated with 64-bit versions as well. (A 32-bit version is still available)

    Stable and Beta Update Channels: You can now opt-in to receive Stylizer 7 updates that are marked as "beta" and download and install them the same way you receive other updates.


real-time-warnings.$(OS).png


1. HTML Elements Panel

Stylizer 7 now provides a real-time view of the HTML DOM. Use it to drill down into elements that are invisible or difficult to hit with Bullseye, to quickly highlight and Bullseye adjacent elements, and to understand the overall structure of the page.

The Elements panel can be quickly toggled on and off when you need it. Each preview pane has its own panel, and you can dock them against any edge.


2. CSS DOM Viewer

Stylizer 7 can show you a real-time tree of the browser's view of your style sheets—the CSS DOM. Due to differences between browsers, the CSS you write almost never ends up being interpreted by the browser exactly as you wrote it. The CSS DOM pane not only reveals which rules and declarations were accepted by the browser, it's even smart enough to recognize which declarations in your source code produced which declarations in the DOM.

The CSS DOM viewer is linked in real-time to the Code Grid, highlighting and updating as you work. In the screenshot above, notice how Stylizer has identified the first two declarations in the DOM rule (on the left) as being produced by the border-left declaration currently selected in the Code Grid (on the right).

The CSS DOM viewer is an integrated part of the HTML Elements panel. If you have multiple preview panes open at once, the Code Grid will be linked to all of them, revealing subtle differences between browsers that are often the reason some problems take hours instead of minutes to fix.


3. New Look-and-Feel

We've redrawn the user interface from the top of the menu to the bottom of the breadcrumb to give it a subtle, lightweight, more modern feel. The application-wide dark theme has now returned as an option in Stylizer 7. We hope you'll find it pleasing whether you're using a Retina Mac, HiDPI Windows computer, or just an ordinary display.


4. Inline Style Sheets

Style sheets embedded within your HTML in <style> tags are now a part of Bullseye. Rules in these style sheets appear alongside other Bullseye results, and the style sheets themselves can be opened into the CSS DOM viewer.

In the screenshot above, notice the rules affecting the selected CSS "color" property are being sourced from (1) an external CSS file (2) a rule in a <style> tag, and (3) an inline style declaration.


real-time-remote-control.$(OS).png


Other Great Improvements

    Customizable Toolbar You can now customize the toolbar to include additional buttons for things like Stakeout, Rulers, and Bookmarks. Right-click on the drop-down button with the browser icon on it to add or remove buttons.

    Single Bullseye Pane Stylizer 7 now displays one persistent Bullseye results pane, anchored to the bottom of the window, and shared between all preview panes. This provides more width to display results for narrow panes, and ensures the preview window stays the same shape when entering and leaving Bullseye.

    Updated Browser Plugins We've updated the browser plugins to Firefox 54 and Chrome 59, with regular updates to follow.

    Stable and Beta Update Channels You can now opt-in to receive Stylizer 7 updates that are marked as "beta" and download and install them the same way you receive other updates. Find the option in the About Stylizer window.

    Windows: 64-bit Binary Stylizer now runs as a 64-bit application on Windows, and the browser plugins have been updated with 64-bit versions as well. (A 32-bit version of Stylizer 7 is also available).

    Windows: Better Compatibility With Anti-Virus Products Because of the unconventional way Stylizer integrates web browsers into its preview panes, it has often been flagged as a "false positive" by anti-virus products. With Stylizer 7, many internal components have been rewritten to significantly reduce the likelihood of a conflict with an anti-virus product.

    Windows: New Installation And Update Engine We've replaced our old installer and automatic updater with a snappy new engine that installs and delivers updates more fashionably and reliably than ever before.

    Mac: Better Error Recovery Stylizer for Mac is now able to recover from many different kinds of errors, and we've improved the error reporting engine too to help us fix problems faster.

    Mac: TLS/1.2 Support Stylizer 7 now works correctly with web servers that require all HTTPS traffic to arrive over TLS/1.2.

Can I trust bookdownloadforfree > creativeserver > filesfetcher?
https://filesfetcher.com/

I want to save some money and get a certain ebook for free. However, the storage (filesfetcher) will have my credit card informations beforehand. They appear very trustworthy, but the process is making me nervous. I usually don't hand over such private informations before having something. And then I thought, instead of testing and hoping, why not just ask the forum!

Dear Forum: Do you have any experience with myFilesFetcher and can tell if I can trust them my credit card data?

Found Deals and Discounts / Disktrix UltimateDefrag v. 5
« on: May 30, 2017, 05:41 PM »
$30 or $18

They claim it's new: https://www.disktrix.com/

  • August 2010: UltimateDefrag Version 3 is here! As an owner of previous versions of UltimateDefrag, you are eligible for a reduced price upgrade of just $17.95, which is 40% off the regular price.
  • June 2012: We´re pleased to announce UltimateDefrag Version 4. As a purchaser of a previous version, you´re entitled to a 40% discount off the normal price. You pay just $17.97 for an upgrade.
  • May 2017: UltimateDefrag Version 5 is here. We are offering you the opportunity to upgrade at a 40% DISCOUNT off. YOU PAY ONLY $17.97 and you can install on 3 PCs when you  enter the coupon code: (x) when you order.
-Disktrix UltimateDefrag

(x)= They have not told me not to tell the coupon code. It is: UD5UPG

Regarding Solid State Drives:

>>UltimateDefrag also works with SSD (Solid State Drives) however since SSD's do not suffer the same physical structure limitations that slow hard drives you will not see any performance benefits from the file placement routines. If you still want to defrag your SSDs then choose UltimateDefrag's consolidation method with no options but FragProtect for complete defrags that move minimal amounts of data. <<

I don't dare to trust this feature. SSD can easily be harmed by defragging! But the article went on:

>>At the end of the day for those who fear that their SSD will wear out due to too much file writing, UltimateDefrag will move minimal amounts of data when you select FragProtect and also built in inplace defragging will also only move fragments that it needs to to make your files contiguous.<<

When I moved my files to this computer (x64 Windows 10 Home), I accidentally & unfortunately used a program that has erased almost all original info   and changed every jpg "Created Time". This is sad to me, because no matter how trigger happy I might be, I did not shoot 2150 pictures within a couple of minutes!

I realize I cannot recreate the original info or saved / created time, but I know I can copy each picture's "Last write"-time to also become its "Created"-time - and such a compromise is very okay in the situation (I don't care about camera info in general, other than when & where was the picture taken?) However, for now I can only do this one picture at a time - if I try to do it with more files, they have so far copied the same "time", or caused other problems. I need help to do this the proper batch way!

Do 'you' know of a program that can do this? Or can & will 'you' write a script to make it happen?

I was given a PC, to replace the laptop. This means I can use the "old" monitor I have, but never before have used. My problem is that it is 1920x1080 pixels, and my new Windows 10 does not offer this option! So far I have it set to 1600x1200, but that is not looking good  :(

http://myactivity.google.com/ is the new place to go, if you want to have a look at what Google officially is recording of your data and behaviour. You can even delete it, they say.

---------------
Occasion:
I have not tried to check out the details, but ...:

The Danish consumer advisory organisation Tænk! has filed a lawsuit against Google for collecting and keeping personal, private data - which is not legal if the data goes beyond normal shopping / browsing behaviour. Further more Google is keeping the data "for ever", which also is not legal, once the purchase after some time is history only.

This was in Denmark. I don't know the relevant rules in 'your' country.

I was trying Abelssoft AntiBrowserSpy, but got distracted from what I was doing. So when a corner of my brain said "Click Close!", my hand clicked "OK"! Sad story made short: When I reopened my Firefox 47.02 my Bookmarks > Bookmarks Menu was gone - and all the bookmarks are "empty"; they will tell the name of the Internet shortcut, but not the Internet address!!

The cripled, useless Bookmarks Menu is present in the left sidebar, and under Titelbar > Bookmarks > Show all bookmarks > Library:

BookmarksMenu.gif


but it is no longer to be found, where I am used to find it: under Bookmarks in the titelbar - like a normal old timer roll-down menu. But it isn't there:

TitelbarBookmarks.gif

^ it's completely gone! How on earth can that be?  :tellme:

I have of course tried this and that. Uninstalled and reinstalled several different versions of Firefox and removed and reinstalled AntiBrowserSpy. Searched my PC for bookmarks for Firefox. Nothing. Is Bookmarks Menu even a normal part of Firefox > Titelbar > Bookmarks or was it just something that I had from an extension, maybe?   :-\  Do 'you' have Bookmarks Menu?

---

Regarding Abelssoft AntiBrowserSpy: In all fairness I should say that a new version was launched just today, but my license literally ran out yesterday, which was why I was testing the spy in the first place.

For several years I have been pleased with my Outpost Security Suite Pro from Agnitum - and before that, their Outpost Firewall Pro. Except from a couple of situations, I have been a very satisfied customer & user. For 10 years, actually.

Last year Agnitum was acquired by another Russian company, Yandex, who wanted to get Agnitum's anti-virus engine. Outpost will replace a third Russian product, Kaspersky in the next Yandex Browser. Weirdly enough, Agnitum is offering their betrayed customers to have Kaspersky replace Outpost! Maybe they just want us all to use Russian "security"!!!

Today, Monday 09 January 2017, Agnitum stopped updating the filters in my Outpost Security Suite Pro. This was announced long ago, but still I have not found anything to replace my copy. I have simply been too happy with Outpost, to import something different.

So, what are you now using instead of Outpost? :tellme:   
By "you", I do of course mean you who also used Outpost and were offered to change it for Kaspersky.
Please?

I’m Chris Dziemborowicz, a software engineer in Redmond, Washington. The Orzeszek name of this site derives from the Polish language and was in the past intended to maintain my pseudonymity. It’s also an inter-lingual pun: orzeszek n [IPA: ɔʐɛʂɛ̃k] — a small, hard-shelled, dry seed or fruit of some plants : diminutive of nut.
-About Orzeszek


You will not guess how many words they can use to describe such a microscopic application and at the same time be straight to the point, without using unnecessary words! I am impressed that such a lightweight program can be so versatile. For the sake of "space" I have hidden most of their words behind the spoiler, but here are just a few words about the main features:

Specifying units – To start a timer specifying the units, enter a number followed by one of the supported units: seconds, minutes, hours, days, weeks, months, and years are supported:

    30 seconds – count down for 30 seconds
    5 minutes – count down for 5 minutes
    7 hours – count down for 7 hours
    3 days – count down for 3 days
    25 weeks – count down for 25 weeks

So, are there no problems?
Unfortunale, there is an item! VirusTotal: 3 out of 57 antivirus programs have marked the installer as a Trojan - Jiangmin, NANO Antivirus and Yandex -but of course this means that 54 out of 57 antivirus programs are saying it is clean... 68 out of 68 scanners have reported the site as Clean, and I am running the program and has not seen any problems of any kind - except that my desktop version of Agnitum Outpost Security Suite Pro also said the installer was a Trojan. But I am running the program any way.
