Living Room / Re: bookmarklet javascript - modfication help

« on: December 19, 2009, 11:38 PM »

Actually, I found another one that will fill in the text fields, but only with one word for every field: testing. It also fills in an email addy but I don't need that.

Because I don't really need all the other functions in the previous one I posted is there a way to expand on this one, and add more words after testing, and use each word in order listed to fill in text fields.

One other thing, I'd like to fill in only the fields I have highlighted/selected (otherwise the lot).

javascript:function%20ROIoiW(){var%20i=0,j,A='testing',D,E,F=document.forms;while(i<F.length){E=F.elements;for(j=0;j<E.length;j++){D=E[j];if(D.type=='text'){D.value=(D.name.toUpperCase().indexOf('MAIL')!=-1)?A+'@example.com':A}}i++}}ROIoiW();void(null)

Anyway, thanks if anyone can help me.

Okay thanks for the info. Maybe there's a program that can translate it for you? I always thought that writing those bookmarklets in one line looks like a very confusing and tricky job.


Also, I think I was probably a bit vague about what I wanted to do.

What I want is for the words from this part below, to be used in order. So if there are 10 text box fields, I want the first 10 words to be used to fill those fields and in the order they are listed. ATM it will get 10 words randomly to fill those 10 text box fields.

I also tried changing "getRand" to "getOrder" as well as removing all the words Random. Didn't work either.

Post New Requests Here / Idea: Windows Taskbar Priviews pinned to stay open.

« on: December 18, 2009, 03:25 PM »

When you hover over a running task on the taskbar, Windows shows a small thumbnail preview of all windows in that application.
Now, what if you could click a pin button any of these preview windows that stopped it from closing. You could keep an eye on another windows progress (moving files/ music/video / games etc) while viewing another application fullscreen. Kind of like PIP.


edit: Maybe this wouldn't work as it would get in the way of hovering over another running application to see it's preview.

So another idea would be that if you click a shortcut on any running task it will display a copy of it's windows thumbnail preview in a predefined location on your monitor.

Thankyou, that is much easier to look at. I didn't realize that bookmarklets could be made from that format. I thought they were actually written as they are (1 line).

Hi, can anyone help with modifying this bookmarklet code?

What it does is fill in the words randomly on any field. But I want it to do it in order as they are listed.

I tried a few guesses, like removing words 'random', but I really don't have any idea!

General Software Discussion / Backup Program: Completely Removes Files in Restore Point Before Restoring?

« on: December 02, 2009, 03:00 AM »

I am looking for a program that will backup folder/files (eg Firefox Profiles). Then when I choose to Restore my backup (to the same location it was backed up from), it will remove (delete) all files that currently exist in the location they will be restored to before restoring.

I can not find a backup/restore program that actually removes all files/folder in the location the backup is to be restored to. There are only options to either replace any files that match or keep current files as well as restored files. But neither of these actually remove any newly created files with different names that do not exist in my backup.

I have been testing all the Backup Programs I can get my hands on. So far none of them do this that I can work out. I have these programs installed on my pc right now:

PC Backup Pro
Cyberlink PowerBackup
Backup4All Professional 4
KLS Backup 2009
Eazy Backup
Acronis True Image Home
NikSaver
Genie Backup Manager Home 8.0
Reflect
Novosoft Office Backup

I guess I restore differently to the norm. But I prefer to actually remove any files/folders in the restore location before restoring my backup.

Does anybody know if there is a backup/restore program that will do this?

Oh gosh oops, I only saw 4wd's reply when I posted my last.   I didn't see the posts by Innuendo and tanis424 which pretty much answered my new questions.  
I was just reading tomis reply now, wondering where he quoted tanis from  

Thanks guys for the help and sorry for not looking properly.


And thanks tanis that info is great. I got the multifunc to work on the drives, just wondering can that be applied to a favorites folder to get the right click/left click actions, somthing like this :

Go "v:media"=multifunc  

or does multifunc only apply to drives?



btw 4wd I love the ideas of your drive bar. I set the root menu up to add program files / program files x86 / program data as well. Love it, thanks for sharing.

Just wondering can I assign that same function to ( left click = left lister / right click = right lister) to any button? eg on a button made to go to my favorite folder?


eta found it. Also, is there a thread here, or a forum somewhere, where people share buttons / commands that they have made?

General Software Discussion / Re: Directory Opus 9

« on: October 08, 2009, 01:58 PM »

Hey, I am hoping someone might be able to help with this. I am completely new to Dopus. I was reading the online tutorial to see what I can do. Came across this section:

The Drive Buttons toolbar item will generate a dynamic list of all devices in the system, automatically adding and removing them as required. For example, if a new network drive is mapped or a USB memory card is inserted it will appear in your toolbar ready to use. You can have multiple sets of drive buttons and are able to filter each by drive letters and types of device. In a dual-lister window the drive buttons will affect the Source side by default, but you can change this so that a left-click on a drive always opens it on the left and a right-click opens it on the right.

http://www.pretentio...me.com/opus/bf1.html

Got excited, but it ended there without an explanation of how to do it. I have the "Drives" toolbar, and I have messed around a bit, but can't find anything to get the right click on a drive button to open it in the right lister. Always brings up a context menu. Left click on a drive button will open that drive on whatever lister is focused.


btw I have interpreted the explanation to mean:
On the "Drives" toolbar:
- left click on a drive button opens in the left lister
- right click on a drive button opens in the right lister

Is that right? Has anyone here got that working?

Thanks for the handy tips. I tried the Live add-in, but it seems to slow my messenger down. If I double click on a contact it won't open the chat window for about 10seconds. Tried installing twice now. But it only happens to me, so I will try it again, maybe when I reinstall windows.

Thanks for the link to the forum, I'll ask about it there and see what they say.

Post New Requests Here / IDEA: Windows Messenger - Add shortcuts to Contacts in tray context menu.

« on: September 11, 2009, 01:47 AM »

What I think would be handy is to have your contacts names (or at least some favorites) listed in the menu that opens when you right-click on the tray icon.

When you select the name of a contact it would open the message window for that contact.

This would save opening opening the main contacts window and then finding the contacts, making it easier to start a conversation with those you frequently talk to.

It would also reduce the clutter on the taskbar as you can completely close the chat windows, yet easily access them again when needed.

Well, I don't know if this is possible - modifying Windows Messenger, but it sure would be handy.

Post New Requests Here / IDEA: System Tray Printer Icon - (visually notifys connection status)

« on: August 29, 2009, 04:36 AM »

Hi,

I have an idea since I bought a new printer. (Canon MP620).

I am using this printer on a Wireless Network.

Since I will often be in a different room far away from the printer, I'd like an easy way to check the connection status (is it turned on or off?).

I have fiddled with all the program bits and pieces that came with the printer, and searched the net but can't find anything like I'm after.

What I'd Like:

Printer Tray icon that always sits in Windows System Tray. It will visually change (eg colour) to indicate it's connection status.

-When Printer is powered on, the icon either appears normal or may turn green.
-When Printer is powered off, the icon will display a red cross through it or turn red.

Possible Advanced features.
-When Printer is doing a job, it turns orange.
(On hover over a quick notification of how many print jobs are in que.)

Left Click or Right Click
- Option to turn Printer Power off
- Option to choose default printer on Network
- Option to Print
- Option to scan
- Option to view print jobs

(Don't know if this is even possible for a third party program to control these type of settings, and if it's something that can only be made by the manufacturer to match each unique printer model).

Yes, I am still here, haven't run off! Thanks so so much for this wonderful little program and all your help and updates. 

I've been having issues with Logitechs' Setpoint Software. If I create a shortcut (I do it before I set it in Pasty) in Logitech Setpoint for a mouse button, it adds it, I save and quit. Then I reopen to check its still there and it is. But it keeps remembering and acting on the old shortcut I had in there, which was CTRL-W (I used it to close the tabs in Firefox). 

But this is to do with Setpoint and not Pasty. Pasty works great. I'll keep trying to get Setpoint to co-operate.

Oh I'm curious, does Pasty run on startup?

  sorry, I was going to come back and reply, I was just a bit too tired when I looked in to get the keyboard - (HDTV). lol

Okay, I used AutoHotKey. I have no idea how I even managed to get as far as I did, because I have never used it before and am not familiar with programming!

This is what I put in it,


#O::
{
  send ^c
  send #F
   send ^v
}   
Return



Hey, PASTY works, really well that is so awesome.  Did you just add the Start Search thing? Thank You!

It' not drag and drop, but that's probably better because drag takes a little while to open the start button. I should be able to put the shortcut key in a mouse button as I don't always have the keyboard handy. Going to test it out some more now.

Thanks again!

General Software Discussion / Re: Firefox Extensions: Your favorite or most useful

« on: June 12, 2009, 07:43 PM »

My top extensions:

1. TabKit: Vertical and Grouped tabs. Didn't like it at first and found setting it up a bit confusing, but after giving it a go for a while I found it to be much more efficient for managing tabs. I get completely lost if I ever use a horizontal tab bar now.

2. Web Search Pro: Just the best thing ever! I make hundreds of searches a day on hundreds of sites now, because it's just too fast and easy!

3. Text Link: Double clicking text links to open in new tab ~ Don't know why it's not a default Firefox feature!

4. Adblock Plus

5. Page Zoom Buttons - I use the red one - allows you to scroll up / down over it to zoom in and out.

EDIT: Found another extension for zooming in and out, which is so much better. Special mouse shortcuts so no need to go to a toolbar to activate.

Mouse Zoom
https://addons.mozilla.or.../en-US/firefox/addon/2244

Right-Click + Scroll Wheel Up = Zoom in
Right-Click + Scroll Wheel Down = Zoom out
Right-Click + Left-Click = Resets Zoom
Right-Click + Middle Click = Hides / Shows all toolbars but tab bar remains.


6. PageZipper: Awesome! No more clicking the next button at the bottom of a page, just keep scrolling down as it joins each "Next" page seamlessly to the bottom of the previous one.
And it looks like it's still be developed to add new features. A toolbar has just been added that allows you to jump back and forth to the next / previous images on a web page. And also tells you what number page you are on, and how many pages have been zipped.

7. Wired Marker - I only use it to Right-Click and highlight words with one of my saved colours. It's great because it's permanent.

8. Google Icon - Adds the site favicon/icon to next to the link in the Google Search Results. I honestly don't know why Google don't have this as a default feature! It's so much easier to look at Google Search results, and easily identify known websites.

Post New Requests Here / SOLVED: Enable 'drag+drop' of text into Win7's Start-Menu Search Box

« on: June 12, 2009, 05:21 PM »

1. DRAG DROP TO WINDOWS START MENU SEARCH BOX: On Windows 7, I’d like to be able to drag selected text from any application (word, browsers etc) and drop it into the Windows Search Box (in Start Menu). When I try this, I select and drag the text, hover over the start button to open it and drag the text to the Search Box, but a ‘circle with slash’ icon appears, blocking me from dropping the text.

2. DRAG DROP TO TASKBAR SEARCH ICON: Also, to expand on this idea, I think this would be even handier -  to be able to drag the selected text and drop it on a 'search' icon on the taskbar. That would automatically do the search in a) Windows Start Menu Search Box (and automatically pop open the start menu to show the results!) or b) Windows Search Window (and automatically open the results).

3. CONTEXT MENU ITEM TO SEARCH FOR WORD: [ETA] I've just thought another way to conduct the search would be by highlighting the word and right-click context menu will show a menu item for "Search with Windows Search". Then automatically do the search on that word and display the results.
[Bonus, would be if I could search with a "Saved Search" in Windows Search Window (you can save the folders  you want to search. Just discovered it!) ]

Does anyone think this could be achieved at all? Or is there a script that already exists for it?
I’d really appreciate any help,  even if you have some tips on how to go about it (if it’s indeed possible).

Thanks
