General Software Discussion / A better wireless network finder?

« on: July 11, 2007, 02:43 PM »

Hello again folks,

Does anyone know of a piece of Windows software to locate wireless networks? I'm looking for a replacement for both the built-in Windows module, and the software provided by the hardware vendor, something similar to Winc: http://www.download....476.html?tag=lst-0-5, which is now deadware, unfortunately.

Any tips will be greatly appreciated.

Clipboard Help+Spell / Re: Setting a short delay for pasting into an active window?

« on: September 19, 2006, 03:25 PM »

Mouser, I'd already tried that as a solution before I ever brought this up. At best, it only works intermittently. The only other pseudo-solution I could think of was to use the "keep on top" setting for the CH+S window, which DOES allow what you're talking about to work, even though I generally dislike needing to use ANY app. window in a keep-on-top mode.

The really annoying thing about this, however, is that the "keep on top" setting turns itself off whenever CH+S is terminated, which for me means having to reset it every morning when I reboot to begin the workday.

Clipboard Help+Spell / Setting a short delay for pasting into an active window?

« on: September 03, 2006, 09:03 PM »

Hey Mouser,

Is there a way to set a delay --- say, 2 seconds --- before CH+S pastes a clip into a window? The clipboard extender I previously used did this, and having this ability meant the paste virtually ALWAYS ended up going where one needed it to go, because one had time to place an active cursor in the appropriate window or text box.

Currently, using CH+S, I find that more often than not, the paste fails, simply because I don't have time to place the cursor in the target box. Of course, even in these cases the clip in question is at least copied to the active clipboard, from which a standard left-click-menu paste can be done, but a brief delay in shooting the clips to the active window would be handier still, and very much appreciated.

Thanks,

Jim

General Review Discussion / Re: Any volunteers for Next Review (7/25 - 8/1) ?

I don't have the guts to volunteer here, although I've done software reviews on my private website for years. I'd like to suggest though, that when doing file managers, you please include my favorite: FreeCommander.

The Form Letter Machine / Re: Feature Request: Automatically "Connecting" elements to others

That method should work, too, as long as I had the ability to custom-name the menu items, such as "Shipping Delay Letter", "New Customer Welcome", etc. And as long as I still had the ability to do quick edits.

The Form Letter Machine / Feature Request: Automatically "Connecting" elements to others

« on: July 10, 2006, 10:44 PM »

Hi Mouser,

You said the other week that if I had any suggestions, post away, and after using TFLM for awhile, the following occurs to me:

Could you code a way to automatically "connect" created elements to other ones? That is, make it so that we can choose to have an item selected whenever certain others are selected.

As an example, my config tree I set up for customer service e-mail now contains five checkbox items for common customer issues, and four radio buttons for closings. Now, suppose whenever issue "x" is checked, I know that I will always want to use closing "z".

I find that, for me at least, the ability to have "z" automatically selected whenever "x" has been manually selected would be a significant enhancement.

If this is ALREADY possible, please advise, and accept my apology for having missed it.

Thanks,

Jim

The Form Letter Machine / Re: ps. regarding use for donationcoder.com emails

« on: June 27, 2006, 10:15 PM »

After discovering CHS over the weekend, I came back today to look over TFLM. I manage a (very) small business, and found I was retyping a lot of the same phrases/paragraphs for customer service e-mails.

My first instinct was that TFLM would NOT suit me, because I hate the idea of canned responses. As soon as I tried the program, however, and saw that it allows quick editing and customization, I knew it would work for me.

It seems to strike a nice balance between eliminating repetition and allowing for a "personal" tone in each letter.

Thanks for this Mouser,

Jim

Clipboard Help+Spell / Re: Beta access violation

« on: June 26, 2006, 11:38 PM »

I couldn't get a firm pattern on the access violations, so I just did a clean install.

I ordinarily don't install any betas on top of a beta, but I couldn't definitely remember uninstalling the previous one (which was the first version of CHS I ever used), so I'm assuming I didn't.

So far, all seems well with the clean install, but the situation begs a new question. Which files actually contain my saved clips, and are those files likely to be safe to move between beta installations?

Thanks, both of you, for your help,

Jim

Clipboard Help+Spell / Beta access violation

« on: June 26, 2006, 12:48 AM »

I'm getting an intermittent "EAccess violation" error when starting 1.10.06 beta. This alternates with a more standard looking access violation dialog that gives an address for the violation.
