IDEA: DimSaver *improvement* needed!

(1/3) > >>

brotherS:
DimSaver (https://www.donationcoder.com/forum/index.php?topic=3095.0) still isn't running perfectly here, and MAYBE I finally figured out a way to fix it.

If not, this would 'just' make DimSaver a bit better :)

DimSaver has "Actions that closes DimSaver" options (maybe rename that to "Actions that close DimSaver"?):

* Mouse Moves
* Mouse Clicks
* Keys
I need a new option, "Mouse is moved for more than ____ milliseconds"! That should hopefully fix my problem, *and* it would allow users to click to another window or close something without disabling the screen-saver.

I'd love it! :-*

If you can spare the time, you might also want to add an "Keyboard used for more than ____ milliseconds" option, which would be very helpful too!

Skrommel sadly seems to have lost interest in DimSaver, maybe I asked for too many features (sorry!) :-[

Anyone up to this task?

brotherS:
Ok, I sold some old CDs, with the $10 I got I hereby start a "DimSaver improvement fund" - he who improves it like described above gets it.

Thanks!

Dimsaver isn't my code, so i'm not sure if this is the right way to do it, but maybe you could solve your problem like this:

On line 14, replace

--- ---SysGet,dragx,68 ;SM_CXDRAG
SysGet,dragy,69 ;SM_CYDRAG
with

--- ---dragx = 15
dragy = 15
As far as i understand, that'll configure dimsaver so that the mouse has to be moved more than 15 pixels from it's original place to deactivate it.
I do like your idea about being able to close windows and keep dimsaver active, but that'd be a major rewirte of the code, and i'm not up to the job. I just hope this'll solve the problem.

Thanks, but that won't fix my problem. I need it to be based on time that passed, not pixel distance.

Oh, I thought that AHK coders regard their work like those Linux folks: If you can, it's ok to improve it.
I vaguely remember skrommel saying something like that too, but he or mouser should know for sure.
:)

skrommel:
 :) Try DimSaver v2.1!

- 2007.01.22 - v2.1: Added option to ignore accidental mouse movement.

There's also some rearrangement in the settings dialog, with a new option to set the time to ignore mouse movement.
