Clipboard Help+Spell / copying and pasting web pages with images... does it copy the image or url?
« on: October 04, 2008, 07:55 AM »
Hi,
I'm wondering if when I clip from a web page does S+H copy the actual images to the clipboard database it uses or is it just grabbing a url that then displays the image either from the web or my cache file? Cheers,
PD

Post New Requests Here / A firefox addon to permit MS Word webclipping
« on: April 23, 2008, 03:39 PM »
Know what? MS Word is a bloody powerful piece of software. I've recently discovered something cool: PowerGrep. Bloody amazing. I know there are all these clipper programs like Evernote. But with PowerGrep you can filter anything you want from a doc file. If you could use Word as your clipping you'd be way better off than using proprietary clipping file types, plus if you're already working a lot in Word it just makes sense to keep things simple. Anyhow, what I think would be very cool is a Firefox addon that would basically fire stuff over to a Word document. Maybe it could have an append or start new file feature. That's my idea anyhow.

Post New Requests Here / Taskbar Activate... Hide your toolbar without it accidently popping up on you
« on: February 12, 2008, 08:15 PM »
I'm using xp and I never liked having a fixed toolbar, but when you set the toolbar to autohide it always pops up when you don't want it to. I hate that. There's no way to control the timing in XP natively. The other day I decided to see if I could solve the problem. I came across a little utility called Taskbar Activate http://home.nordnet.fr/~pmdevigne/TaskbarActivate.html#Historique . It works! It hasn't been updated since 99 though! I was wondering a couple of things: 1) is there anything else like this around? 2) is anyone interested in building on this amazing little program? For instance, I'd love to see a feature that shuts off the ability of a tray icon to cause the bar to come to the top. If you have an icon that's active the whole toolbar comes to the top. I have my toolbar wide on the left side using this program and it rocks.

Living Room / In Praise of Donationcoder
« on: February 09, 2008, 10:43 AM »
I just wanted to say how much I appreciate this site and the great software folks are writing, and the uber amazing forum. I love the fact that this site is by donation. I like the fact that it works on the principle of generosity and appreciation. It appeals to those higher parts of ourselves when we're asked to donate instead of just pay a set price. So, not only are you folks writing great software, providing a first rate forum, but you're also allowing downloaders to reach for and develop something good in themselves, namely generosity. It's a brilliant concept, and shows that we're not all morally dead yet. Thanx everyone!

FARR Plugins and Aliases / Is there a main page for plugin downloads?
« on: December 21, 2007, 10:32 AM »
I've been using Launchy, and after v2.0 was released I got fed up with the system resources this thing hogs. Folks were praising Find&Run on Lifehacker. So, thought I'd give it a go. So far it looks great. One question though: Is there a download page for plugins? I can't seem to find anything. Also, if what are the must use plugins? When is v2 expected to be complete? All the best,
PD
