* Structures in place to allow drag of text from other apps to automatically create Replacements/Completions (already working if you want to drag text into the Replacement Text area on the left of the app)

That was the suggestion I was going to make...! but I don't see how it works - if it does ?

v.37 going fine here and thanks for the new features.

Could you explain the sliders on the Advanced Program Options page : why two ? Are they lower and higher ?

I'm thinking about a suggestion to make but I'll post it later when I've thought it through.

General Software Discussion / Looking for a calculator that can easily calculate different shaped volumes

« on: October 13, 2010, 05:58 AM »

I can't remember my school maths lessons, so I'm looking for a software calculator that can easily calculate different shaped volumes, e.g. cylinders and so on - any ideas please ?

When I say 'easily' I mean where I don't have to enter pi or complicated formulae, just height and diameter etc....

All going well here with v.32.

A suggestion : remember window size and position from last session - but that's probably already in the roadmap.

The perennial question: is it now working better with those tricksy keyboards and apps?

-timns (October 05, 2010, 05:45 PM)

As I said before it's working fine for all accents and special characters, however I have come across two more anomalies, neither of which are serious :

* I use G-Lock's SpamCombat and if I try to copy some text from an email to the clipboard I get an error saying SpamCombat cannot open the clipboard.

* When I insert some text with 'Replacement' into a new email (using iScribe) the upper-case letters turn into lower-case - again no big deal. I have tested with pretty much all the other text apps that I use and it only happens in this case.

Could you give some information about the three "speedometers" - what are they supposed to show ? They don't correspond with 'Typed', 'Saved' or the stats.

Thanks again.

If the cursor is one space after the phrase, I hope it's because you either have a space in the replacement itself, or you do not have the 'erase trigger' checkbox checked.

If not, it'll be one of those 'bug' things I've been hearing about 

-timns (October 05, 2010, 11:04 AM)

Yes, you're right I hadn't checked the 'erase trigger' checkbox...ouf !

YES - all's well here, sorry I didn't get straight back !

Thanks timns, it's great, everything is working now - except for what seems to be a small anomaly with the Reposition cursor to option : if I set it to 0 (zero) then the cursor ends up at one space after the end of the word or phrase, if I set it to 1 then it ends up just after the first character in the phrase (the latter is probably normal) but shouldn't it either sit right next to the last character in the phrase or right at the beginning when set to zero ?

There's also SynKron which I also use and really like - particularly the possibility to set up different schedules for each backup job, I haven't found this in any other program yet.

Yup, sorry for the bother, I really can't understand what's happening. I thought it might be the remnants of a FF add-on - Keyscrambler - that were till hanging around and in fact yes, although I have uninstalled FF long ago (I use K-Meleon) there was a keyscrambler.sys driver still there. I have deleted it but still no joy.

My keyboard driver is the usual MS one, version : 5.1.2600.1106

Hi, been trying v.24 for a while too - still mashing things up with accents and special characters, and even tokens, some examples :

input :

123456789
éèçàù
Date - today (%date%)

output :

&é"'(-è_ç

Date  today 9éà&à&àà&0


Just tried entering 123456789 with the num pad and I get this as output : &é"'(-è_ç

which is the same as above, so the accented characters are not showing at all.

I'm wondering if it's not Keyscrambler that's causing problems ?

Is the Add predefined text option supposed to work ? It doesn't here.
Also (and if it is supposed to work) the same predefined text sticks in all setups.

timns - any luck with the punctuation problem (keyboard mapping) ? All usual characters work fine it's punctuation, the num-pad  and all "unusual" characters : e.g. {[¤µ*etc.

Yes, I was surprised too. These photos could have been from London or Berlin during the 1940's.

Here it's working well here too except for the above mentioned problem with Spaces in the Replacement zone: even if you don't use Space as a trigger you still can't use Space or Tab or Return. Backspace works though. I get round this by typing the replacement text in Notepad then pasting it into the Replacement zone BUT then a full-stop turns into a semi-colon which makes me think that it's a keyboard mapping problem. This is on a french keyboard.

Also if you use a long text in the Replacement zone it uses 100% cpu when typing itself into e.g. Notepad (maybe that's understandable).
