General Software Discussion / Re: Windows 7 Family Pack Upgrade

Well keeping my fingers crossed didn't help.

Does anyone know of where they still have copies of Windows 7 Family Pack Upgrade available (for delivery to US)?

Thanks

Yeah I'd read that and I've got my fingers crossed he might get a copy somewhere.

1) I have "volunteered" a friend to bring it back with him on his annual Christmas trip home.
2) As for support, who needs MS when we have the expertise of the DonationCoder community!

General Software Discussion / Windows 7 Family Pack Upgrade

« on: December 07, 2009, 02:53 AM »

Hi,

Does anybody know if there would be any issues with purchasing a Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium Upgrade Family Pack for XP or Vista users in the US but installing it on laptops in Ireland? In case you are wondering why, it's because there is a significant price difference!
Thanks

Living Room / How to open Windows Mail emails in Outlook 2007

« on: October 24, 2009, 12:29 PM »

Hi,

I recently moved to Windows 7. Before I did this I smartly (or so I thought) exported all my Windows Mail emails to eml files.  However when I installed Office 2007 including Outlook, I can't import the eml files as it doesn't seem to support them!

Has anybody found a free workaround to importing the eml files to Outlook?

Thanks

Living Room / View fixed length record files

« on: July 11, 2009, 07:19 AM »

Hi,

I was wondering if anyone knows of a simple way of opening fixed length files and viewing the contents (records/fields) easily?

I know Excel allows this to be done, but I'd like a method to define the layout as a template and to be able to load the file based on a template.

Any ideas?

Thanks

I've recently started brewing my own wine (well there is a recession), so my choice has to my Pinot Grigio from "Chateaux Moi".  The wine never lasts long enough to mature, but it still tastes good.

Does anyone else make their own homebrew?

If he wants to migrate to Ireland for a little while, I'll show him around. So how do add yourself to the list of destinations?

Has he been toilet trained?  I hope he doesn't have bird flu?

LaunchBar Commander / Re: LaunchBar Commander Beta with "Tab Nodes"

« on: June 17, 2009, 11:44 AM »

HELP!

My PC crashed (nothing to do with LBC) and when I rebooted, LBC was asking me to configure it.

My MCF file was gone, but a backup was there from around the time I installed beta version 1.102.01.

When I try to load the bak file I get an error: error loading nodes from file - cmc error.

Any ideas on how to fix.  Do I need to go back to the non beta version?

Thanks

« on: June 17, 2009, 09:07 AM »

Here's a suggestion...

I believe LBC has undiscovered capabilities that a lot of might use if we could see them demonstrated.

Mouser - could you put together a configuration file that we could load to our own PCs for typical windows installs.

So for Windows XP users you might show off the capabilities of LBC using the standard programs that get loaded by Windows (assuming they all get installed to C:\Windows or is it C:\WinXP?).  You could show off menus to Programs, Control Panel, My Documents, Start Menu, showing folder contents and all types of nodes & menu types.

A similar configuration file could then be created for Vista...

What do you think or are the possible differences in installs too much?

« on: June 17, 2009, 07:08 AM »

Yeah, I like it (I think). However, once you have activated a sub menu, how can you close it so it goes back to normal?  I'll play some more with it.

Keep those new features rolling and don't mind those crickets.

It sounds interesting and it maybe something I'd use.  I'm a big user\fan of LBC and I'm always looking for new ways to do things better.

Hi Umberto,

If you could add the file/folder size? Will it have an option to sort by size or name...

Many thanks and keep up the great work.

Hi Umberto, that is a very neat app and it impressed the hell out of me and my colleagues.

May I suggest something?  The display shows at a glance where space is being consumed. Could the graphical output be converted to a list/report? So for instance if I see an element (folder) that has 2.5GB of files/sub folders and I need alert a number of people about the size of the folder, I'd need to present a list of the files/folders in an easy to read format.

Keep up the good work.

I know screenshot Captor sorts its images by creation date, but my version (2.44.01), defaults to alphabetical! How do I change this before it drives me nuts?

LaunchBar Commander / Re: Folders not displaying contents

« on: October 31, 2008, 10:23 AM »

Hi Mouser,

I have downloaded the latest beta from (https://www.donation...arCommanderSetup.exe) and it displays it's installing version 1.80.01 and I think one of your postings says the latest version is 1.81.02.

I installed it anyway and the version still displays as 1.80.01 and the folders still don't display correctly.

LaunchBar Commander / Folders not displaying contents

« on: October 31, 2008, 08:21 AM »

Hi,

I'm not sure what has gone wrong, but I recently upgraded my PC and upgraded to LBC to 1.80.01.  Since then my folder contents don't display in LBC and I have a number of these and none work!  I have attached a copy of the folder set-up and if I open the folder in explorer, it displays just fine.

Has anyone else experienced this?

Mouser I just noticed that you released 181.02 but when I try to install it I see version 1.80.01 and the problem still exists.  The beta link also says: 'Download v1.77.01   Oct 28, 2008'

Thanks and please keep up the good work.

Damian
