Things to fix, features to maybe add:
- to fix: resize grid so all digits fit on different screen resolutions and scroll bar widths

ewemoa:
Was able to create a single earmark but a subsequent creation attempt lead to a crash of SumatraPDF -- but this was under Wine.

Nod5:
Hm, I wonder what the cause was. S_E saves each new bookmark to a .txt file database. It also tracks the pdf window position/title/pagenumber to overlay the bookmark correctly. I have never used autohotkey (or SumatraPDF) in Wine.

ewemoa:
Tested with more success via XP SP3.

Tried all of the shortcut keys with success :up:


In the test set up I see the little blue or grey rectangle covering the page-scrolling up arrow -- when I left click the square for a moment I see the scroll arrow and if I clickl soon enough the page scrolls a bit.  It doesn't seem easy to scroll by clicking on the up arrow while S_E is running.


Any chance of being able to configure the shortcut keys?  In my case I try not to have the Windows key be used for things outside of the system.


After control-right-clicking on the earmark square I see a little window with some numbers -- is there currently some way to tell which (if any) earmark might be closest to the page being currently displayed?

I think the page numbers are not being fully displayed here (e.g. for a two-digit page number I only fully see the first digit).

Nod5:
Thanks for the feedback.

v131028: earmark positioned next to scrollbar; trayicon menu; customize hotkeys (see tray menu)

To fix: resize grid so all digits fit on different screen resolutions and scroll bar widths.

Not sure how yet. The grid is a listview control that I've fudged together. I need to resize it more exact or generate the grid some other way. Any ideas on how to best make a clickable grid resized to fit a variable array of data in autohotkey?
Was there a scrollbar in the popup where some digits where cut off? A screenshot would help.
