General Software Discussion / Windows 98 style File Extension Editor?

« on: January 29, 2012, 06:52 PM »

As a with a lot of things in the newer versions of windows (Looking at the controlless defrag in particular), They have a lot less power than they Windows 98 equivalents, to try to make things easier for normal users.  I'm looking for a program - Other than Regedit - Which will allow me to edit the individual actions in a File Extension.

Here's the Windows 98 dialogue, in case people need a refresher (It was over a decade ago)

N.A.N.Y. 2012 / [CANCELED]: Dungeon AI

« on: July 19, 2011, 05:02 AM »

Recently I have been wanting to play more D&D rather than just DMing all the time. Unfortunately nobody I know is willing to step up as a DM at the moment.   As such, I've decided to make my computer do so for me

Basically, DungeonAI is an application that can act as a GameMaster for D&D4E, complete with battlemap and condition/HP tracking.  

I'll probably code it in Java.  More details to come soon.

PS:  I don't actually have an internet connection right now, so I won't respond to this post for a couple days.

Description
NetLauncher is designed for use on a computer (probably a netbook), which is often going in and out of wireless access.

The idea is that NetLaunch will sit as a background agent, and check network status.  On status change, the program will launch/quit programs depending on user-defined rules.

Sample Configuration

Network activated:

• Launch Pidgin
• Launch Windows Live Sync

Network deactivated:

• Kill Windows Live Sync process
• Gracefully close pidgin
• Prompt user whether to close Firefox

While this app will not be useful while sitting in a flaky wireless area, it is perfect for people who travel between areas with wi-fi, and those without wi-fi (or just none that you have access to ).

Features

• Command-line arguments for once-off launch checking.
• Agent mode

Planned Features
Per-interface rules (possible, not yet sure whether it's worth it.)

Screenshots


Usage
Installation
Extract zip into a folder.  Not much of an install process yet.

Using the Application
Using the Command-line Interface is best done with a shortcut, or FARR item.
NetLaunch.exe -u "C:\Program Files\pidgin\pidgin.exe" -u "C:\Program Files\Windows Live\SyncUX\wlsync.exe" -d pskill.exe [pidgin.exe] -d pskill [wlsync.exe]

Uninstallation
Delete Files.

Known Issues

• Can't launch apps with command line arguments, as NetLaunch eats them.
• Still no GUI.
• Cannot edit or delete tasks.
• Adaptor Blacklist may be wrong in places.  If someone finds an adaptor that is incorrectly allowed/blocked, please tell me.

Original Post

NetLauncher is a piece of software I'm designing for use on a computer (probably a netbook), which is often going in and out of wireless access.

The idea is that NetLauncher will sit as a background agent, and check network status.  On status change, the program will launch/quit programs depending on user-defined rules.

Sample configuration (my netbook):

• Gracefully close pidgin
• Prompt user whether to close Firefox

While this app will not be useful while sitting in a flakey wireless area, it is perfect for people who travel between areas with wifi, and those without.

It will also have a command line interface, to allow users to run actions without the use of an agent.
IE: NetLaunch.exe -u "C:\Program Files\Pidgin\Pidgin.exe"
or: NetLaunch.exe -d "pskill.exe Pidgin.exe"

It will be a Windows-only application.
