Non-Windows Software / Re: Calendula (android) - a dead project that I use daily

I've been okay, yeah - took me a few years to get the right med combo, and I'm still basically deadweight on my right side. Can't articulate my foot so I can't walk well, frozen in place really. Arm I have some control but nothing useful, so it just does what it wants. And I lost partial vision when the stroke happened, which is the thing I wish for the most. Other issues too likea noticeable (to me) cognitive decline, and a few other items.

But I'm here, still kicking. Still learning, last few years has been networking and server admin stuff. I now run 3 servers - a nas, a tower server, and a vps, all running docker, with the tower server running proxmox. NAS hosts family data, tower and vps hosts game servers, home assistant, and BOINC (tower has an older Xeon, might as well put it to use). Slowly built out the home network with cat6a to all rooms with tech, switches. Need to get better (managed + 2.5+) switches so I can use more than 1g. I *just* got fiber installed a couple days ago, the day after service went live.

So comparatively I'm in brutal shape, struggle with basic things... But I'm still here, still trying. I have been able to take little trips - I used to go to Utah twice a year to see my ex, and I attend conventions in Pittsburgh and Chicago, hopefully more soon. Trying to get back into the workforce, and if that goes well money won't be excruciatingly tight.

It's been a crazy ride. But I'm still kicking.

Sounds like despite all your health issues you have had you are doing an awesome job handling it and such. Anyways nice hearing from you again.

Will let the topic continue if anyone else has anything to say on Calendula or one like it.

FARR Plugins and Aliases / Re: How to debug a plugin not loading?

FARR Plugins and Aliases / How to debug a plugin not loading?

« Last post by AJolly on July 06, 2025, 11:37 PM »

What's the best way to debug a plugin not successfully loading?
I've been working on some mods to farr_tinyev, to use voidtool's search everything as the backend for FARR for launching apps. It's usually been working great!
But sometimes the plugin fails to load, and I have no idea how to properly debug that issue.

*Loading plugin: FARR_TinyEv\farr_tinyev_20250604_175751.dll
 Failed.

Related: is there a way for me to run FARR with my plugin in a debugger and set breakpoints/step through? No idea what id need to do in VS code to get it to work.

It's written in C, using "JrPluginFuncs_FARR.h" and "JrPluginFuncs.h"

I have not pushed my local changes, but the base code is https://github.com/AJolly/farr_tinyev

I updated tinyev to use the Everything 1.5 sdk, and then every search from FARR gets "path: farr: " prepended to the search string.

In everything i have a preset filter farr, with the macro farr, with all the directories I want to search.
ext:exe;lnk;cmd;bat;ahk !sync-conflict c:\ccdc\portableapps\|c:\ccdc\scripts\|c:\ccdc\sysinternals\|c:\ccdc\avalerts\nirsoft\|c:\ccdc\commandlinetools\|<c:\users\jolly\ "start menu">|"C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\"|"C:\Users\jolly\Downloads\"

Then I have an alias set so anything i type gets sent to the plugin.

Clipboard Help+Spell / Stack feature stops working in WIN 11

« Last post by viking2 on July 05, 2025, 01:49 AM »

I am running the portable version (v2.46.1) in WIN 11. I start the Stack Marker (using HotKey Ctrl+Alt+Q) and get the audible feedback click. However, when I start to copy (ctrl-c), I don't hear any audible feedback and the clipboard is not filled.
If I toggle clipboard Monitor off/on, it starts working again.

I often need to toggle off/on when I want to use the stack feature.

Finished Programs / Re: DONE: Append/Concatenate/Merge text files, but prepend filenames

« Last post by nkormanik on July 04, 2025, 08:36 PM »

In MergeTXT please allow for rearranging the order of the text files.

Wonderful program, but we need the ability to change file order. Say, using Ctrl-Arrows???? (not just using the mouse. that's too hard.)

Thanks!!!!

Non-Windows Software / Re: Calendula (android) - a dead project that I use daily

« Last post by hamradio on July 02, 2025, 01:01 PM »

Hey all! It's weird to post here after so long, but I've been concerned about this Android app for a few years now, and I'm not sure where else to turn.

Calendula is a medication management, scheduling, alert, etc app that I've been using for.. 9 (?) years. But it hasn't seen an update since late 2018, android has been warning me that it's running on an old sdk (?) version for a few years now, and I fear that it will stop working with future android versions.

I kind of know how Github works, but the project is written in Java (as I understand it) and I neither like the language nor have modern skills with it. Many people have forked the project, but none have taken it over or offered a new version - hence my growing concern. I've searched for and tried similar apps (just foss, since I don't trust random apps on the play store with my medical info) and they all suck, really.

Does anyone here have an interest in reviving (forking) this project? I'd be willing to pay for it to be brought up to date and hopefully keep functioning for another few years (I'm not swimming in cash but this is quite important to me). Or, is there an app that I haven't run across that does more-or-less the same functionality? Alerts, checkboxes for each med per scheduled time, recorded intake time that can be referred to, repeat notifications, skipped/ignored alerts, med name and remaining stock counter, scheduling for days/multiple per day/day + skip/etc...

Besides the fear of android refusing to run it after a major update, the notification/alert system broke with android... 12? And so now it doesn't alert me until I open the app myself. Which isn't ideal when I am busy and miss my med schedule by a few hours, oblivious...

Anyone want to give it a try, or have suggestions?

Also: hello *waves*
