Coding Snacks / Re: Lightweight App that displays files in folders/subfolders & allows launching

« on: April 09, 2021, 02:03 AM »

Unfortunately there's no search functionality that would be really needed

You ever worked with Everything from Voidtools ?



Another workaround might be indexing the folder structure first using the free tool Snap2HTML

First, download Editpad 3 (portable). It is a text editor, but look closely in the folder for the program ''minipath.exe.''

Download Editpad3



This little file browser might enjoy you..

I was just commenting on n8wachT's post, making a file available and saying it was illegal, which is not something we condone here.

The problem is that the format is totally different and some categories are not included.
e.g. Bookmarks Online in the 2nd column.

There is a little weirdness there I admit. Thinking with you, this is how it looks on my screen:

One thing lacking in Papaly (and many tools) is a good feedback and discussion and improvement method (e.g. uservoice).  Maybe such a page should be connected to the Papaly et al. page.  Any suggestions as to how?

Also a minor lack is (unless I missed it) the ability to load all the urls in a category at one time. I use that in Firefox bookmarks a lot.

-Steven Avery (December 24, 2016, 03:53 PM)

Both your wishes can be found in the Papaly- but they are easy to miss or difficult to find in some cases. I'll try to explain. When sharing a papaly board, you can't find the options when viewing your page through that particular given share board url. Doesn't matter if you are the editor or a visitor. But let's try it this way (Using the world's top 500 website board as example):



Leave the shared-board view by  clicking the menu upper right corner and choose 'home.' When you get there scroll down a bit and find the World's top 500 board again in your list. Click on it to open it again, and you'll notice that the view is a little bit different than when we check de page through the shared url. In my case, it has another theming layout. But more important, it also shows more options now if you look close.





When hovering the mouse cursor on category top there is now a extra edit menu visible. From this tiny menu you can use the 'open all url's at once option that you pointed out as option on your wishlist 

It's still something that can be extended for even better feedback experience- but there is already an option to leave comments hidden right about (see screens below) here:

This will be a true-geek trophy, I'm just playing around with it and really digging' it so far. Needs some 'studying' on how all the different functions work, but you've really created something special here. And you've provided a tutorial explaining most of the functions as well so, thumbs up!  Lot's of options I would love to see more from. Thnk you! Will give more extended comment while the project continues- at least I'll try!

DC Gamer Club / Gems of War (match-3 v2.0++)

« on: December 22, 2016, 09:48 AM »

Let me start by saying: I am not really a gamer kind of guy. Meh, I might done some Warcraft II ages ago and Duke Nukem 3D. But the main reason for that was probably that there wasn't much else out there yet on the internet. I remember instead of playing Duke3d I soon started experimenting with the Build-engine and end up building a descent looking level myself (sadly data got lost somewhere along the way). But that's not what this topic's about.



I'd like to point out one game that even got me- the non gamer- addicted; Gems of War.!
It's basicly a match-3 game like the more known bejeweled series. But, the game developers added an interesting set of gaming experience. They combined the match-3 genre with battle-elements and even build a comprehensive RPG-styled part around it, making it the most original strategical experience I've seen so far (within the puzzle genre though).

You play by making moves trying to combine as much gems of the same kind like you do in Bejeweled. Only, this time the computer is a active component. You play on turns. Combine 4 gems or more and you get an extra turn. Both computer and player play with 4 troops (here the magic-the-gathering card collecting comes in..). Every troop has special skills and before you know it there's some epic jewel battling going on- and I must warn you, this works extremely addctive. Extra team elements like Guilds you join to battle amongst others enlarge the whole experience even more.

The game is free to play, you can download it from the Steam Library. But in game you can spend real money to extend your playing experience on various ways. However, it isn't needed to experience the game in full effect. It does become very tempting and yes, even the non-gamer actually has spend real life money over time. Looking at this from a game developers perspective, the model of earning money this way is extremely smart. Because, I would have never spend the ammount of money on buying a game, than the ammount I've spend on it in total over the year. I am not telling how much because I simply don't want to confront myself with the up to date totals... 



But they earn some credit. Really. The community part is also great, developers listen to their players ...

Interested in seeing this for yourself? Here's a small preview/teaser. All the links for more information and where to find the game are included below.

http://linkli.st

Also have this ... well, awesome bookmark tool to add. But you might not like the looks of it. Personally I like the oldskool approach Linkli's using, but maybe .. that particular detail make this tool awesome for some, and awfull for others. Let's try anyway. Adding links works the bookmarklet way (see previous reply's). They provide an easy ready to use button you only have to drag to where you like it to be. Now whenever you find a website interesting enough to bookmark just press the button- select a subcategory (optional) and hit it. Like most of the bookmark services work, only.. this one works blazing fast, you can almost feel it.
http://linkli.st/n8wachT





A handy extra is it gives you a .rss feed of your Linkli's (or other Linkli's of interest)..
http://linkli.st/n8wachT.atom





Final tip: browse what is already there. There are some very fanatic folks who have done a lot of bookmarking work before us.
Main portal to crawl a bit around is the public list. From there you'll find your way..

« on: December 22, 2016, 07:02 AM »

the attempt would be bookmarking a forum while browsing threads and then export to html as a base to elaborate a newsletter

-kilele (December 19, 2016, 05:55 PM)

Bookmarklets!
As an simple yet powerfull extension could be considered using on various platforms. Like for instance... When bookmarkletting a bit on the Papaly  site, it can easily create beautiful (html) listings/overview and so on...







I've used the 'Grablinks bookmarklet' but there are tons of other variations and you can build an more personized one
without to much hassle..

[Select]

javascript:(function(){var%20p=document.createElement("p");p.innerHTML="<strong>Loading%E2%80%A6</strong>";p.id="loadingp";p.style.padding="20px";p.style.background="#fff";p.style.left="20px";p.style.top=0;p.style.position="fixed";p.style.zIndex="9999999";p.style.opacity=".85";document.body.appendChild(p);document.body.appendChild(document.createElement("script")).src="//d2z4mgf8zqkbu2.cloudfront.net/bookmarklets/grablinks.js?x="+(Math.random());})();

Just create a new bookmark on your firefox bookmarks bar and copy the code from above into the location field. Now just hit the
newly created button on a website of choice and TADA

-kilele (December 16, 2016, 09:10 PM)

It's also an idea to export the last newsletter to .html and host it somewhere else. Put a link in future newsletters to that host and you
will have 499 url's left every time you start over.[/color]

no collaborative in the sense of inviting people but in relating your content with tags from other anonymous users

-kilele (December 16, 2016, 02:14 PM)

Yeah I misunderstood the meaning of collaborative there, but I've been digging a bit deeper meanwhile in how it could
work in collab-way by using tags.. and I find it very interesting so far. Going to build a package of keywords/tags and
will try some other tools as well to see how that works out. But thats more an secondary path- I don't think such system
would work when sending out newslettes.[/color]

Konektom.org is a collaborative bookmarking service named after the connectome — the brain's wiring diagram. Once you start bookmarking with Konektom.org you will get more URLs recommended based on the bookmarks you create.

Let me just point out that if you simply added the file paths to a text file, with one line per file, it would be trivial to use a simple FARR alias to display and search this list of files on demand, using the #filecontents function of FARR.

-mouser (October 13, 2016, 11:55 AM)

What is 'simply' for you masters of coding can give a nightowL like me the kind of headache like... KWAZZAAAAM!

But unbelievable, I managed to create an beginning by using FARR and understand at least a part of how/what it works.
It asks a whole different way of thinking that I'm not used to, but I think when I finally get more used to it.....  Thnx!!

Winamp had a built in option for that. It can be found when going to 'plugins' and select 'DSP Effect.'
As far as I know most versions include the 'Nullsoft Processing Studio' (or in anyway you can choose
to install it when installing winamp custom mode). The Lite versions might not include it- not sure about
that. Anyway, within the newly loaded plugin you can choose 'Load preset' to find a whole bunch of
ready-made effects, including a nifty pitching tool you can shift in realtime. Screenshot below gives
an better view
