Screenshot Captor / [Solved] SC freezes in 'Scanner Options'

« on: May 10, 2014, 06:00 PM »

Hi there!

I recently updated my SC installation from v3.08.01 to v4.8.2 and now every time I open the 'Scanner Options' dialog, SC freezes completely and I have to force close it in Task Manager. So as there is no scanner selected by default, I cannot start a scan. I also tried a completely new installation of SC with the same result.

I'm on Window 8.1 Pro x64 and using the portable version of SC. The scanner is an old Lexmark X2350 printer/scanner all-in-one device, but only the drivers for the scanner part are installed. Scanning works fine in SC v3.08.01 (have not tried versions in between) and the Windows internal fax and scan application.

Does anyone have any idea what the problem could be?

Is there an archive of old SC versions, so I could figure out which is the latest version that works for me?

Thanks,
lujomu

DC Website Help and Extras / How to handle threads of solved bug reports?

« on: February 15, 2012, 07:39 AM »

Hi!

With the release of FARR v2.104.01 two of the bugs I have reported over time are now solved:
https://www.donation...ndex.php?topic=26729
https://www.donation...ndex.php?topic=26511

As both threads are almost a year old now, what's the proper handling of them?
Just leave them be, add a "[SOLVED]" to the subject or something completely different?

Find And Run Robot / [BUG] Launching shortcuts: FARR vs. Windows Explorer

« on: May 12, 2011, 11:31 AM »

Hi!

The problem is a bit hard to explain for me, so I start with an example:

I have a shortcut pointing to the 'System Protection' tab under 'System Properties' on Win7 64bit: '%SystemRoot%\System32\SystemPropertiesProtection.exe'. If I start that shortcut from Windows Explorer, the right dialog pops up. But if I start the same link from FARR, only the 'Computer Name' tab pops up (with some other tabs strangely missing).

I tried the different options under 'Options for Launching Programs and Documents', but to no avail. At first I suspected a problem with the admin rights, but as I am logged on as admin anyway and I can edit the Network ID and computer name in the 'Computer Name' tab, I don't think that's the cause.

Can some please confirm this behavior?

Find And Run Robot / [BUG or FEATURE?] Shortcuts starting with a dot ('.')

« on: April 23, 2011, 06:12 AM »

Hi!

I am not sure if this actually is a bug or a feature, but if you launch a shortcut to a file/app from FARR that starts with a dot (e.g. ".My Shortcut.lnk"), it will open an explorer window with the path of the shortcut instead of opening the file/app itself.

I have several shortcuts that start with a dot for one reason or another. So is this the intended behavior?
If yes, can someone explain to me what it is good for?
If no, can it be fixed?

Thanks & cheers,
lujomu

Unfinished Requests / UNANSWERED: Bookmarklet to replace 'user-scalable=0' with 'user-scalable=1'

« on: January 11, 2011, 02:13 AM »

I would like to remove the zoom restrictions for mobile web pages on my Android phone (should also work on iPhone/iPad), because my sight is not the best and some fonts are just too tiny for me to read on that little display.

If I researched correctly, the restriction is caused by the 'user-scalable=0' argument of the 'viewport' meta tag, e.g.

[Select]

<meta content='width=device-width; initial-scale=1.0; maximum-scale=1.0; user-scalable=0;' name='viewport' />

I thought it might be possible to replace this 'user-scalable=0' with a 'user-scalable=1' (or remove it alltogether) using a bookmarklet. Unfortunately I don't know any JavaScript, so could someone please help me out on that?

Find And Run Robot / Environment variables in 'Pattern Scoring'?

« on: November 11, 2010, 02:05 PM »

I'd like to promote certain search results that contain an specific environment variable.

I thought the easiest way would be to add this variable in the 'Pattern Scoring' section, e.g. '*%var%*'. Apparently this doesn't work.

Is there another way to achieve this?
