N.A.N.Y. 2014 / Re: NANY 2014 Release - Spews
« on: January 31, 2024, 05:42 AM »
Hello there, it has been a while :D

Lately I've been doing some work from home using my personal monitors as they're both higher definition than anything my workplace can provide, and so when working, I still keep my home computer running so that I can do unrelated stuff on the side when it's a quiet day, switching my main monitor to get its display input from the work laptop, and the second (a bit lower resolution) monitor to take its input from my "home" laptop.

When I do so, since the monitors have different resolutions, I can't see the entire wallpaper. And thus here is my request : would it be possible to have Spews automatically refresh the current wallpaper when the desktop's resolution changes (provided of course that none of the excluded processes is running)?

And while I'm at it, if several monitors with different resolutions are connected and in extended desktop mode, could it also handle that by scaling the same picture appropriately to both? :)

Hello there.
After you started the app you want to make a shortcut to, it should be fairly easy to find the executable in the "Details" tab of your task manager, then right-click it and choose "Open file location" — it may not be the exact wording as my Windows is in french language, but should be something to that effect.

On the virtual machine I just tested it from, after installing WhatsApp from the store today, doing that on the "WhatsApp.exe" line opened the following folder: "C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\5319275A.WhatsAppDesktop_2.2327.6.0_x64__cv1g1gvanyjgm", but I suppose the path may vary from a machine to another, or maybe depending on which version of the app it is.

Hi there.

Why is the program itself so large? :o
RED seems to have a similar feature set, but doesn't weigh nearly as much.

Seems like the site is down, hopefully it'll come back up later. In the meantime or if it doesn't, one can access a copy of the page and the download from the Web Archive https://web.archive....nloads.html#Shortcut

Hey there, here's a nice instrumental one:

Ayasa - "the reason why"

Hi.
For example, version 20H2 from last October completely removes the old Win7 style control panel.

Actually it doesn't. It's still present in 21H1 even (just run control.exe), though some options certainly have disappeared from it compared with Windows 7.

Anyway you don't have much of a choice but to "upgrade" to newer versions after a while if you want your Windows 10 computer to stay secure, because Microsoft stops providing security updates for each Windows 10 version after either 18 or 30 months, unless you somehow get your hands on a Long Term Servicing license. See https://docs.microso...ifecycle/faq/windows

Just a note: Office 2010 is not supported anymore by Microsoft, in the same way that Windows 7 isn't supported anymore.[…]
Yeah, it's supposed to be end of life since october of 2020, but they still published patches for it this month (for example KB4493145). Maybe someone over there forgot about it? :D

Hi,

Assuming that both laptops are running Windows, if the one you want to access remotely has a "Pro" or "better" version of Windows, you should be able to connect to it using Remote Desktop Protocol. The remote desktop client (mstsc.exe) is available on all Windows versions, so the client doesn't need to have a Pro licence.

I'm very wary of files hosted at software.informer.com :/

Public domain, after 25 years or passing of the artist(s). Whatever comes first.

Maybe not, as some psychopaths might want to kill the artist just so they don't have to wait 25 years to use one of their works.

Hey there,

It's a very nice idea, but did you guys have any luck testing it on real hardware? I didn't :/

12
OK !

BTW I just noticed this: I usually keep my CRAP window at the bottom right corner of my desktop, right above the taskbar. When it's there, if I mouse over the Layout Management button, the tooltip keeps flashing. Same if I mouse over the name of my current (and only) layout.
Doesn't happen if I move the window a little away from the desktop's corner.

Running Windows 10 x64 v1909, I don't have access to another OS to test it on right now.

13
These are some nice improvements. Thanks!  :Thmbsup:

However, I don't quite understand this:
  • Delete from the layout management menu with a certain key+click combo on the layout item of a non opened layout.
Can you elaborate?

14
That sounds more french than german, though.

15
Yeah the date is a bit in the past because I wanted to test it for a while, then got busy with other things at work and kind of forgot about it ^^'

Hi there, a new version is available.
Here is what's new:

Version 2019-12-15 :
* New features:
 - added "Analyse" mode, which neither moves nor deletes anything
 - added "Delete" mode, which straight up deletes files instead of moving them
 - the logs directory and backup directory are now distinct and can be specified as command line parameters (see the Read Me file for details)
 - added changelog, license and "read me" files

* Bug fixes:
 - running a previous version of the script could lead to some patch entries with no information appearing on the "installed Updates" page of the Programs and Features control panel, due to left over values referencing deleted patch SQUIDs in the product SQUID's Patches subkey under "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Classes\Installer\Products\...". This shouldn't happen any more starting with this version.
 - the Undo script should now work even when ran by right clicking it and selecting "Run as an administrator" when UAC is enabled
 - some files could be mistakenly considered to be orphan files by previous versions due to not being referenced under HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Installer\UserData\S-1-5-18 but under another key at the same level

* Other improvements and notable changes:
 - the logs now report an approximation of the total disk space used by the superseded updates and orphan files
 - the script's version number is now included in the log files it generates
 - the script now populates a complete list of which files and registry entries are considered to be unneeded before it attempts any change: thus the code lines relevant to making those changes are regrouped in a block, which made it much easier to debug (and allowed to implement Analyse and Delete modes)
 - the default folder where the logs are stored is now "%computername%.SGC" instead of "SquidGirlCleaner %computername%", and it should be within %userprofile%\desktop instead of a subfolder of where the script itself is

* Warning: if you already used the script in unattended mode before, you should know that the meaning of the values for possible exit codes have changed since the previous version. See the "Read Me" file.

What does your laptop's keyboard look like? Which layout?
We can't really suggest anything without knowing which keys are or aren't available.

If that's any indication, my mom uses version 4.14 on Windows 10 x64 almost without issues: sometimes it doesn't want to start any more but then I only have to delete its settings from the registry ("HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\JASC\Paint Shop Pro", might be different in newer versions as I don't remember when it was bought by Corel)

Hey there.

I suppose you mean these: https://en.wikipedia.../Text_user_interface ?

Damn, it looks like it must be hard to live everyday of your life with that problem :/

21
All of the \n will still show up in the editing of the button.  I could probably make it an option to display the original caption or the easier to read caption in the list if you would like?
Yes, please, that'd be nice :)

I believe that should be in the current version […]
Indeed it is! I should have read tips.txt again.

22
Well so far I only really noticed 2 differences between the version I'm using and your screenshots:

1 - in your screenshot, a small sized version of the icon associated to the button is visible next to the checkbox: I like that :)

2 - in your screenshot, there is no grid or visible separation between the column headers: I'm not sure if that's related to Windows 10's theme or due to a change you made, but I must admit I'm not a fan of this :( … imho it's better to have a visible indicator of where you should move the mouse cursor if you want to resize the columns, like I circled on the attached screenshot.

From the screenshots only, I didn't figure about the "\n"s not being visible, but since they can't be seen, that wasn't obvious… and I don't think I quite like that either :(.
Since it is a dialog box intended for the user to review/change settings, and they are a part of those settings, I don't see much point in hiding them here. On the contrary, I suppose them not being visible might cause issues in figuring out exactly why a button is displaying as it is.
If you're editing the contents of a specific caption field, do the \n in that very field become visible then? If not, how do you make them visible, so you can know if there are any and where they are?

I'm interested in the "linebreak" feature. Does that make like a horizontal line splitting the space in the interface into different areas, or am I misinterpreting it? If that's what it does, is there a way for the user to add some sort of header/title caption to the different areas?


23
Alright then, I'm still using it every day at work so I'm available if you have a version you want tested :D

Nice :)
I remember the first Freespace game had cool music, so while I am terrible at those 3D space games, I'll still get it so I can extract the soundtrack xD

So it seems the problem is actually related to the Lenovo Vantage software, as someone mentioned in the first link that mouser gave.

Softpedia made a new article on that topic: https://news.softped...enshots-527370.shtml
