General Software Discussion / Re: [HELP] FireFox Left-click on tab cycles to previous tab (readme)

« on: January 27, 2009, 10:45 PM »

I expect (or would like) the same thing to happen:
- if the tab/window is open and I click on it, it should minimize;
- if the tab/window is minimized and I click on it, it should open

Is there a way to do this in Firefox?

it just seems like something so simple and intuitive, that i find it hard to believe that it's not possible...

General Software Discussion / [HELP] FireFox Left-click on tab cycles to previous tab (readme)

« on: January 25, 2009, 08:55 AM »

Let's see if I can explain myself. This is something that Opera has, and Windows has in general.
If you click on one tab, or window, it cycles from maximized to minimized so as to show/hide whatever's beneath it.
I'm trying to find a way to do this with FireFox (there must be a way, I just don't see it!)

Thanks in advance for who can point me to the right direction!

Well, it seems that the Zotero community is growing, although I'd prefer working only with one app and having the option.

Should we move this discussion elsewhere at this time? What do you think?

What if there are line breaks in the file that i'm trying to import (not commas or tabs)?

Do Yyu mean a template for SQL-notes?

-Armando (March 09, 2008, 03:17 PM)

Yes, is this possible?

PPLandry and Armando -

(sorry for all the posts, but I'm really psyched! I decided not to PVT you since this might be useful for others...)

Say I have my biblio entries exported from a third party program as a text or comma separated file, how might I import it here so as to already start taking notes

Would there be a possibility of someone helping me set up a template for research note-taking?

- A main level BIBLIO entry (book, journal, article, etc), with all the biblio info linked to it.

- "Notes/comments" items which also has a title (brief summary of note item). Bear in mind that they need to be linked somehow (automatically) to the main level BIBLIO entry and there should be the possibility of adding the page number. Especially if it becomes possible to export to MSWord (and similar) - here what would need to be exported are: a) the note (item content) b) some meta info (customizable?) and c) the AUTHOR, YEAR and PAGE#.
Plus tagging for items for quick search and cross-referencing.

Didn't find the screen cast. At a first glance this looks very nice, but for someone not used to DBs like myself, I'm having problems setting it up.

Thanks guys!

Is there any type of tutorial? A screen cast would be awesome!

Armando: How might it be possible to export the citations you said? I'd be interesting in hearing what exactly was working for you with IdeaMason...

Thanks for the heads up guys!

Post New Requests Here / [IDEA] Creating ASX metafile playlists instead of cutting video files

« on: February 08, 2008, 01:52 PM »

It seems that an ASX file is nothing other than a text file saved as ASX which follows a certain simple language like file path, start stop, etc. It's a metafile playlist

I need to show a few seconds of the same clip, and I wanted to create an ASX file playlist instead of editing the file.

Here's an online example of something similar:
http://www.onlinetoo...ols/asx-o-maticdata/
(although I'm not sure if it works)

Here's an easy to scan page:
http://www.streaming...p?id=8483&page=1

Here's the syntax:
http://msdn2.microso...ibrary/ms910265.aspx

What I thought would be interesting is if there was a preview pane where I could preview my video and have a start/end button and the times could be automatically inserted. Other interesting fucntions would be to randomize the clips, or place other metatags (names, etc).

I think this should be doable, but I don't know if I've explained myself enough! Let me know! Thanks!

Post New Requests Here / DONE: Autoset audio volume on boot

« on: February 06, 2008, 12:38 AM »

Looking for something very simple and don't think I've seen it.

Is there anyway to automatically set the volume controls at a certain level so that when I start up my computer it has a certain volume level, no matter how it was before i shut it down? I'm thinking setting everything to 100% except the master volume set to 0%, although other people may have other preferences. I think you can imagine why this is useful.

Thanks for the help!

« on: May 04, 2007, 04:12 AM »

Skrommel-

I often embed the fonts in my files, but that makes them heaview, so this is great!

Can you also apply some type of Font substitution option? This way I can choose some of the more similar fonts (or fonts that were used previously and perhaps reside in traiiling spaces, etc) and switch them for something else.

Thanks!

Post New Requests Here / Bluetooth-Wifi Quick on/off

« on: May 04, 2007, 04:00 AM »

If I want to disable Bluetooth on my laptop, I have a physical switch, but that also deactivates Wifi, and there's no hot key (I'd need to open the program, bla bla bla).

I've also seen laptops that don't have an easy way to activate/deactivate wifi/bluetooth.

Is it possible to create a small app, maybe that runs in the systray, and maybe assigning a quickkey?

Is there already a program like that, or is it already possible to create some sort of shortcut in Windows?

Thanks!

Filehippo offers something similar, but only for the software they provide.

What is it?
The Update Checker will scan your computer for installed software, check the versions and then send this information to filehippo.com to see if there are any newer releases. These are then neatly displayed in your browser for you to download.

Skrommel and others,

I really like the icon that True-X Mouse Gizmo has (sort of a visual feedback), or like what Adobe Acrobat reader uses. Any possibility?

What do the others think?

Thanks always!

As I said before, the note-taking software I have in mind is intended for academic use:

1. Taking notes
2. Organizing bibliography
3. Outlining

Some of the essential features should be:
- exporting bibliography to APA, MLA, etc
- tagging
- advanced, but simple searching
- easy exporting of notes WITH references

I'd be interested in supporting (i.e. paying) whoever is interested in this project, or if someone can give me some suggestions of software they've used, that would be great!

urlwolf:
It would just seem to me that each "note" would have to carry with it 1) tags, or keywords, which would have to be invisible to print/export and 2) tags, in this case the reference from the source (book , article, or whatever).

I'd then need to be able to create an outline by organizing the notes.

I thought it was like wikiing, or any casse I just thought it was much simpler...

Post New Requests Here / IDEA: ASX Playlist Maker with Snippets

« on: July 07, 2006, 03:35 PM »

An ASX file is nothing other than a text file with an .asx extension which follows a particular syntax to create a video playlist.

I'm looking for an ASX making program that would do the following:
- create a playlist with either hard links or relative links to the full videos;
- create playlists with the possibility of setting start and end times for videos;
- 'Edit with ' in context menu for .asx files;
- Sorting & randomizing capabilities;
- Drag n drop of all video filetypes;

Just an idea!

I read some of the posts on the other thread you mention, but I haven't found any software that also allows to work with bibliography.

Might you suggest other software that might serve my needs (see first post on this thread)?

Thx!
