Finished Programs / [SOLVED] Context open folder with FolderTimeUpdate

« on: June 03, 2016, 04:35 AM »

I'm trying to add a context entry to a selected folder which will open a program's GUI.
The program is a standalone named FolderTimeUpdate (NirSoft), 120 KB.

It's easy enough via the Registry HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\shell\Folder Time\command
 and
F:\\Portable\\FolderTimeUpdate+\\FolderTimeUpdate.exe \"%1\"
It works but that gets me nowhere because the actual folder path is not selected. I must still drag & drop the folder onto the opened GUI.

Is this an impossible action or should I change the command key?
Any tips most welcome.

Skrommel's Software / Accents

I must have lost my mind because I just cannot figure this - Press a key three or more times to apply accents.
Applying that rule I will obtain three or more of the same letter, logic. There is a hidden clue - This program was made using AutoHotkey.
The ini file I can understand but how do I add a hotkey?
Where am I going off the rails?

Screenshot Captor / Resources low

« on: December 23, 2005, 06:48 AM »

I'm trying to use/test SC under extreme conditions and therefore I have a resource problem. Older technology - W98SE, low RAM - 256MB, too many installed progs and fonts and a heavy load of start-up progs/dll's (x219 processes - re Autoruns v8.4.2). I do not have any games, PnP or Norton installed. Rather amazing that my puter still running. Normal defragging done regularly.

My problem is that I can (hot) start SC, make a capture or three but once closed completely it is not long before all becomes so sluggish that I have to reboot to restore my resources. This only happens with SC because I also use Photoshop and that is notorious for resource hogging.
I've done a Registry hack with 'AlwaysUnloadDll' but that had no effect on SC.
Any tips?

Screenshot Captor / Top or bottom?

« on: December 22, 2005, 12:11 PM »

In W98SE the last capture is placed on top in the thumbnail view. My friend in the USA is running XP and his last capture is added to the bottom in the column. Is this part of a Window OS setting?

Screenshot Captor / Long distance

« on: October 23, 2005, 04:14 PM »

I need help for someone that is 18000km from here and he is using XP Home, a bit of a tall order. As I’m on 98SE, and without problems, it is rather difficult to assist him. I’m trying to get him to use SC and sending him bit by bit pics of the Preferences, ie still in the setup stage. I’ve been writing mht instruction manuals to help him but it is heavy.
That is already extremely difficult as he is on AOL, and my IP does not allow any emails to be sent to AOL. Another story. He is 80+yrs old and to crown it all Wilma is around the corner.
His first report is that after he’s done some selections, upon reloading SC all the settings revert back to the original defaults. This must be XP or Administrator issue? Am I on the right track?

Screenshot Captor / Nothing

« on: October 07, 2005, 07:40 AM »

Now I'm lost. I've been trying SC for a while and struggled a bit with the dif options/settings, mostly via trial and error. Now I was pretty brave and installed the latest version (2.00.14). I use the 'selected region' 99% of the time and given it a hotkey. But now all my screen selections and captures are blank. When using my hotkey SC opens to a perfect white screen with a thin black frame and I'm not able to select a region, It covers my monitor completely.
I'm running on 98SE and the previous version I used, 2.00.11, functioned very neatly. What am I doing wrong?
