Hello there
Today I've tested (on my home computer, running Windows 11 v23H2) adding buttons using the shortcut drag and drop feature, and I've encountered a few issues, some of which seem to be related to the handling of lower/uppercase.
1 - when adding a single button, if the ".exe" part of the icon's name happens to not be entirely in lowercase, then in the main window, the button's icon and caption do not appear.
The button itself can still be highlighted when placing the mouse cursor at its position, the tooltip shows up and the associated program can still be launched.
Changing the button's properties to have the ".exe" in the icon's name be in lower case fixes that issue
2 - when dragging several shortcuts to the main window in order to create the corresponding buttons.
If a single one of those shortcuts has the ".EXE" part of target program's filename written uppercase, then CRAP will open the "Adding New Button" dialogue for each shortcut, until the user confirms the "Add" button for that one shortcut with the uppercase ".EXE", at which point CRAP will basically abort processing the queue: there will be no further window to add the next shortcuts even if more were selected, and the buttons for which the settings were already input will not be added to the layout.
3 - This one isn't related to uppercase vs lowercase file names, but to how some games themselves behave.
A normal Windows shortcut has a "start in" field, which, from my understanding, basically sets the "current folder" before starting the program. This field doesn't appear to exist for CRAP buttons, and so for some programs that need it to be set, they may either fail to run, or try to look for and/or write some files in the wrong place.-ConstanceJill (April 21, 2024, 08:16 AM)
Do you know any free web/cloud solution to monitor a webpage for changes and send you an email notification?-kalos (February 20, 2024, 12:50 PM)
You mentioned a web/cloud service. There is often a free tier that you can use for less than 10 or 25 websites. There are also some selfhosted options. It used to be possible to self-host something like this using some free tier of a cloud service.
But in a pinch if I had to pay I would support an opensource project that had a reasonable pricing model.
https://github.com/thp/urlwatch / https://thp.io/2008/urlwatch/ URLwatch (I believe open source)
https://github.com/d...n/changedetection.io opensource, docker image but I think there are limits of what you can do with selfhosted option. Noticed this https://torvald.no/web-change-detection when looking for the link.
https://github.com/huginn/huginn a hackable IFTTT docker
https://github.com/louislam/uptime-kuma https://uptime.kuma.pet/ Opensource, there is a dem that has some site query information.-sphere (February 21, 2024, 08:28 AM)
I would get the latest and greatest Raspberry Pi with some specific task in mind and then it turned out that the CPU wasn't powerful enough, or the I/O wasn't fast enough, or it didn't have enough RAM, etc., and then it just collected dust. So even though I think I'd like to get one again I'm hesitant because I don't want to spend the money buying the SBC and accessories and the time to set it up and tinker with it only for it to ultimately sit unused like all the others thus far.-Deozaan (April 20, 2024, 01:42 AM)
