Some screenshot programs can use delayed capture

-rjbull (November 16, 2023, 04:27 PM)

Like Screenshot Capture...

Not sure what 'fingers' you are talking about?
Capturing a screen without the mouse cursor/pointer is an option in Screenshot Capture. Don't know about WinSnap.

Just a discussion forum like this. Where people can express freely...

-Contro (November 15, 2023, 01:49 AM)

If you feel there are not enough platforms available to express your disagreement with something, anything (as mentioned: Reddit?, X (formerly known as Twitter)?, Mastodon?), you can of course start your own?

When having issues with sellers on any of the seller-platforms, there is always a possibility to file a complaint.
If you disagree with the way they offer their goods, or the goods they offer, then don't use these platforms, and buy locally.

Just writing about what you think is wrong isn't going to change much if you don't take the action to change it. I don't expect other people will do that for you

General Software Discussion / Re: How to edit a titlebar from a dll?

« on: October 22, 2023, 05:57 AM »

Without the original source of the dll it is close to impossible to re-create the dll.
The only viable option of changing that title is to grab a hex editor, and change that title, with the restriction you have to keep the current length as the max. length, optionally filling with spaces or 0s at the end when the new title is shorter.

General Software Discussion / Re: Synchronization software with tree view, moved files detection and size ignore

« on: October 07, 2023, 03:12 PM »

I need a comparison mode where files with the same name and date but different size are considered identical

-David.P (October 07, 2023, 07:11 AM)

That's rather weird, as those files can't be identical... and probably the reason no comparison tool will accept that condition

Find And Run Robot / Re: FARR still best in my testing (one exception)

Okay, sure. Just to clarify, do you mean save the screenshot locally and then use the "Attach:" option to upload. Right?

-wizk11 (September 30, 2023, 04:35 PM)

Yes, please.

Please attach screenshots to your posts, as those externally hosted files will disappear in weeks/months after posting, so sometime in the (near) future we won't be able to see them anymore

Screenshot Captor / Re: Auto cpture does not work anymore

« on: September 20, 2023, 04:00 PM »

I'd suggest to first try how it behaves after disabling the antimalware service you mention, as that type of software is known to 'interfere' with screenshot software. Or maybe add it to the white-list if that's possible.

In what language is PBOL develop.
I ask to know if is possible to determie possible modifiers in the command line.
 

-Contro (August 20, 2023, 04:55 AM)

You're again/still asking the wrong questions, and not telling us what you actually want to achieve... makes it very hard in trying to help you.

General Software Discussion / Re: After a time of inactivity in the pc maximize a window of a program in the tray

« on: August 18, 2023, 03:34 PM »

It's difficult with a batch command that program to maximize when resident in the tray icon !

-Contro (August 18, 2023, 01:16 PM)

Usually, to maximize a program from the system tray, is a feature of the program itself, not by blasting a command at it and expecting it to do as you desire.
If PBOL doesn't support that, it won't work (period).

As usual with your requests it's quite hard to determine what the actual question is, please be very clear on what you want to add or change.

Living Room / Re: Looking for Raspberry Pi with Pass-Through Power

« on: August 17, 2023, 06:01 AM »

I see a lot of this kind of devices, where they usually have an ESP8266/ESP8285 or ESP32 chip (with WiFi support, and some ESP32 even use BLe), but they also have (at least) a relay to switch the output and often a sensor to measure power consumption. I've never seen one with an RPi, though with the recent RP2040 that might change, as that chip is targetting the IoT market. But it's not nearly as capable as a full-fledged RPi, more in the ESP/STM region.

Living Room / Re: Looking for Raspberry Pi with Pass-Through Power

« on: August 16, 2023, 12:10 PM »

What will the main task of the RPi be? Not just switching & measuring the power, I assume?

The program is in the tray icon constantly running

-Contro (August 13, 2023, 05:02 AM)

Which (exact!) program?

after a time of inactivity ?

-Contro (August 13, 2023, 05:02 AM)

What is your definition of 'inactivity'?

Post New Requests Here / Re: Need buttons to download a file and disable used button, how to do so in HTML?

« on: July 06, 2023, 04:29 PM »

How are you going to save the downloaded-state for each file? As a refresh/reload of the page will re-enable any disabled buttons...

If you want an indication of what's been downloaded already, then present the downloads as links, default browser behavior is to give visited links a different color from new links, similar to:

-KodeZwerg (July 05, 2023, 03:30 PM)

Well, it does, kind of, but also the title was close to a click-bite (for a techie like me), so making it explicit does help a lot. Thanks.

You might want to make it more explicit that you're aiming at networkadapters... I have a lot of adapters in use, but only a few are networkadapters...

And there is always our own Skwire, he created sPlaylistMaker, some time ago, that most likely does what you require.

The Microsoft .exe installers are often just a wrapper around an MSI installer. MSI is a little easier to integrate in automated deployment.

Screenshot Captor / Re: Getting Prompted during Delete Back

« on: March 09, 2023, 03:20 PM »

You could check the file C:\Users\<username>\Documents\DonationCoder\ScreenshotCaptor\ScreenshotCaptor.ini for any Delete option that might be in the 'wrong' state.
Most likely closing SSC completely, then removing that option (or commenting by inserting a semicolon at the start of the line) and restarting SSC will resolve that (untested...).

Screenshot Captor / Re: bug in capturing modal dialogs in Windows 11

« on: March 07, 2023, 02:15 PM »

Check out the Window Capturing 1 and 2 option panels (after enabling the settings there on the Miscellaneous Tweaks page: 'Enable aero window capturing options even on Win8/Win10'), there may be tweaks that might help in resolving this issue.

Living Room / Re: Apple Lisa, the first (modern) GUI

« on: January 26, 2023, 11:58 AM »

I actually owned a Lisa XL (3.5" 400k diskdrive and 10 MB harddrive) for a while, somewhere in the 1988-1989 time-range. But, working on the PC-side of IT, I didn't use it much (if any), so ended up selling it, way too cheap, at a local computer-fair. Made that guy's day, I guess

Q: How do I return from relative mode (after clicking once) back to absolute coordinates mode?

-Ath (December 14, 2022, 05:17 AM)

I do not understand, it never change its coordinate system since I do use a low level mouse hook.

-KodeZwerg (December 14, 2022, 03:58 PM)

I think my question is invalid, did a quick test when I asked as I got somewhat confused, but now that I looked a bit longer (and closer) it's working just fine.

Looking great
