<<Off topic>> Nudone, I just spotted a Cody duck in your Icon/Avatar! What's with that. Is there a prize? Sneaky but fun!  8)

I'm sure nobody else wants to say this so here goes.  :o
Keep it simple. What do you want, what don't you want? It also seems you'd be a hard person to please! ;)

I'm currently using a modified version of that program to quickly allow me to make a window always on top by simply right-clicking on the title bar of a window. It is very useful for me because I often have a need to put a window always on top and right-clicking on a window title bar is the quickest and most convenient way I could think of. Right-click again on a window will make it a normal level window. Note that you will need the Microsoft Foundation Classes found in the standard and professional versions of Microsoft Visual Studio if you want to compile the program in the above URL.

Are you going to release it to the world when you're finished, VIP? Sounds pretty useful.

It does not work :( How do hook the volume buttons?

I've cut out certain non-associated personal additions to the script so here it is...

; Volume On-Screen-Display (OSD) -- by Rajat
; http://www.autohotkey.com
; This script assigns hotkeys of your choice to raise and lower the
; master and/or wave volume.  Both volumes are displayed as different
; color bar graphs.

;_________________________________________________
;_______User Settings_____________________________

#SingleInstance force
SetBatchLines, 5ms


; Make customisation only in this area or hotkey area only!!

; The percentage by which to raise or lower the volume each time:
vol_Step = 5

; How long to display the volume level bar graphs:
vol_DisplayTime = 2000

; Master Volume Bar color (see the help file to use more
; precise shades):
vol_CBM = Red

; Wave Volume Bar color
vol_CBW = Blue

; Background color
vol_CW = Silver

; Bar's screen position.  Use -1 to center the bar in that dimension:
vol_PosX = -1
vol_PosY = -1
vol_Width = 150  ; width of bar
vol_Thick = 24   ; thickness of bar

HotKey, Volume_Up, vol_MasterUp      ; Win+UpArrow
HotKey, Volume_Down, vol_MasterDown
HotKey, Ctrl & Volume_Up, vol_WaveUp       ; Shift+Win+UpArrow
HotKey, Ctrl & Volume_Down, vol_WaveDown
HotKey, Volume_Mute, vol_Mute

;___________________________________________
;_____Auto Execute Section__________________

; DON'T CHANGE ANYTHING HERE (unless you know what you're doing).

vol_BarOptionsMaster = 1:B ZH%vol_Thick% ZX0 ZY0 W%vol_Width% CB%vol_CBM% CW%vol_CW%
vol_BarOptionsWave   = 2:B ZH%vol_Thick% ZX0 ZY0 W%vol_Width% CB%vol_CBW% CW%vol_CW%

; If the X position has been specified, add it to the options.
; Otherwise, omit it to center the bar horizontally:
if vol_PosX >= 0
{
vol_BarOptionsMaster = %vol_BarOptionsMaster% X%vol_PosX%
vol_BarOptionsWave   = %vol_BarOptionsWave% X%vol_PosX%
}

; If the Y position has been specified, add it to the options.
; Otherwise, omit it to have it calculated later:
if vol_PosY >= 0
{
vol_BarOptionsMaster = %vol_BarOptionsMaster% Y%vol_PosY%
vol_PosY_wave = %vol_PosY%
vol_PosY_wave += %vol_Thick%
vol_BarOptionsWave = %vol_BarOptionsWave% Y%vol_PosY_wave%
}

Return

vol_Mute:
SoundSet, +1, , mute  ; Toggle the master mute (set it to the opposite state)
return


vol_ShowBars:
; To prevent the "flashing" effect, only create the bar window if it
; doesn't already exist:
IfWinNotExist, vol_Wave
Progress, %vol_BarOptionsWave%, , , vol_Wave

{
; Calculate position here in case screen resolution changes while
; the script is running:
if vol_PosY < 0

; Create the Wave bar just above the Master bar:
WinGetPos, , vol_Wave_Posy, , , vol_Wave
vol_Wave_Posy -= %vol_Thick%
Progress, %vol_BarOptionsMaster% Y%vol_Wave_Posy%, , , vol_Master
}
else
Progress, %vol_BarOptionsMaster%, , , vol_Master
}
; Get both volumes in case the user or an external program changed them:
SoundGet, vol_Master, Master
SoundGet, vol_Wave, Wave
Progress, 1:%vol_Master%
Progress, 2:%vol_Wave%
SetTimer, vol_BarOff, %vol_DisplayTime%
return



vol_BarOff:
SetTimer, vol_BarOff, off
Progress, 1:Off
Progress, 2:Off
return


Once saved as an autohotkey -.ahk -script (I'm not sure how to set this up to automatically download here) this should work (I've tested it of course).

You don't help yourself by specifying what happens as the script attempts to run, which hotkeys don't work, any error messages given or whether any .ahk scripts work for you etc. But hopefully this script will now work for you.

56
Prio allows this (you'll have to do a bit of work though unless there is a Select All option). I have not tested it yet though. I'm inclined to agree with the others.

"Prio - Priority Saver 1.99 - program allows you to save the priority you specify for any process"

57
If you've downloaded AutoHokey as often suggested, the help file has a section called 'Script showcase' and one of the scripts therein is the wonderful "Volume On-Screen-Display (OSD) -- by Rajat". Just adjust the keys to your preferences as follows...

HotKey, Volume_Up, vol_MasterUp
HotKey, Volume_Down, vol_MasterDown
HotKey, Ctrl & Volume_Up, vol_WaveUp       
HotKey, Ctrl & Volume_Down, vol_WaveDown
HotKey, Volume_Mute, vol_Mute

Coding Snacks / Re: Overlay Folder Icon with Exe icon

 ;D Try Nicefolders. Its Icon editing is not brilliant but it is good enough? Not been updated for a while though.

« on: March 04, 2009, 04:21 AM »
+1 for this idea.

The other clip tool that I use can be hot-switched in and out of 'multi'  mode.
I seldom use that but when I do it's very, very useful indeed.

-cranioscopical (March 03, 2009, 04:25 PM)
Out of interest, which clip-tool is that? It sounds like that's what jupstejuho is looking for.

I use clipomatic from Mike Linn at www.mlin.net/Clipomatic.shtml It is simple enough for even me! Use Ctrl & C to copy as usual. Ctrl & Alt & V will bring up a quick paste menu and you're done.

Having re-read your post (vitally important for skimmers like me) I see you want to paste in bulk. I think the Notetab editor (with it's Lite version) www.notetab.com/ntl.php has a paste board mode where all copied text is pasted. All you'd then need to do is copy that "bulk-pasting" and then paste that where desired. It's not what you really want, I know, but it's a work-around that also gains you a very competent text-processor.

Mouser, I can only say that jupstejuho (A very Finnish sounding name BTW) can't be the only one to require such a feature and so if it would be convenient for a future update to have it it can only be a good thing.

Handling scores of old .htm and associated _files folders in an intelligent way (Ie. together) is my biggest bugbear with any software that doesn't have a hefty pricetag I can't justify. Ie. Dopus is out for me unless some remarkable discount comes my way. Opera and its .mht file does mitigate that problem for me except as noted in my previous post.

BTW, that was a much quicker post than the timestamps would have you  think. Thanks Darwin.

62
Sorry to dig up this old subject again, but it is one of the most useful topics in a way as a very good filemanager can make so many other tools redundant. Are there any new developments in the field that would make it worth retaking the poll?

Anyway, regarding Opera and .mht files, I had Opera portable installed a while ago and moved it to another folder and had problems. I'm pretty happy with the installed Opera (except for webmail problems) and it saves .mht files as default. Strangely it also saves some webpages with associated folders (eg. xyz.mht with xyz_files folder) although it seems to have stopped that now. I thought the .mht file made these folders redundant? Any thoughts please?

63
I use sizer to pick a predefined size for certain windows. Unfortunately automatic resizing is not catered for.

I'm not sure if Filenanny would work either. But either way it would help to inform the software authors of your requests via these forums.

A link to Filenanny.zip may be found on the posting below. Not sure if it is the most recent version though or if AK has a DC sub-site now (a very quick search didn't help me).

« on: February 27, 2009, 12:51 PM »
I'd recommend using Autohotkey rather than batch. I'd try it myself but I don't really understand what you want the script to do?
  Do you want just folders copied or all files within, recursively or what?
  GUI?

You're welcome, that's what this site is all about.

That's my first online-kiss, thank you!!!

Of course there could be other solutions out there... Especially one that would copy an existing tree structure.

I hope makenewfolder will help you, I use v2.1 at the moment but he's on version 3 now so I've only just downloaded it to try it anew. It used to work in Explorer or the desktop; I've no idea if it will work in other file managers. Even if it doesn't you could always use Windows Explorer for THAT task.

I have contacted him in the past with some ideas; I hope he's incorporated the best of his users' ideas.

:) Try my GreenOSD - Shows changing volume and selected keys on screen!

Skrommel

Click below to show the entire script.

Sorry, but the reveal button didn't work from me. However I got the code by Quoting Skrommel's message.

Up to now I've been using Rajat's VolumeOSD and there are only occasional flutterings of Gui weirdness -and I've forgotten what they were. It might be down to either Autohotkey or Windows itself slowing down. I don't know what you mean about Ghost-boxes...

I'm going to just pay her more attention as I don't have a great deal of that there "money" stuff and she knows it. My "Silver surfer" card (not even a Valentines Day one) always makes her smile, no matter how many times I produce it (not Xmas though).

Having said that I always get her something such as a candy bar as I don't have a death wish ;)

Living Room / A better World
« on: February 09, 2009, 04:50 PM »
In my quest to make a better world I hazard this suggestion...

How about an offshoot of the site where we suggest new, no... not software, but new ideas for websites. And to kick it off, I'd like to suggest a "campaigners united" website where people list various campaigns they would like help/ support with. This would work at the international, national or local (even building or room) levels. It's my belief that campaigns would work better if campaigners of all sorts shared resources (and best practice) and this would hopefully be one of those. I'm afraid I don't have web-servers and resources to do the idea credit but I wish someone would take the idea and run with it... If someone else hasn't already thought of it.

I think such a site would encourage people to see other successful campaigns and take heart in the sight of so many other people who haven't just rolled over and ACCEPTED IT (whatever it is) but are struggling to improve the situation. Seeing that the folks down the street are also cheesed off about X should make them feel a little more political and a little less apathetic.

72
Thank you people. I tried OpenedFilesView by Nirs Sofer (whose stuff is usually really good) but it seemed to miss something in a folder which Windoze wouldn't let me rename. Could have been a file used by hidden rootkit or malware I suppose... This made me wonder why the drive was spinning so often (could be page-file of course). I'll try 'em and see.

73
Does anybody out there know if there are any programs out there that can pinpoint the cause of hard-drive activity (probably page-file activity come to think of it). Ie. Software to show the name of the file(s) currently being accessed by a given hard drive.

Just as you can get software like DriveGleam that show read or write activity on the hard drive, it strikes me that it would be nice if the actual file being used could be pinpointed. Any such program might need a slow display mode for multiple files or a logging function.

I'm aware that this is probably not a coding-snack but I feel sure that someone somewhere has probably already produced such a tool (if it isn't in XP already).  Does anyone already know the answer?

Post New Requests Here / Re: Idea: Utility to help suspend laptops
« on: January 26, 2009, 06:31 PM »
Sorry, quick post only. Search the forums for my previous post on Wizmo by GRC.com. It has various commands like Nircmd and some of them are dammit variations eg logoff!

After a quick check I don't see any "suspend" command, but check it out anyway, just in case.
