Hi mat2016,

I am capturing the title of the window and formatting it as a file name. The user can add/edit text of this title.
I am matching the text with the active window title and showing the notes.

You can see the process in the debug.log file now.

Since now we allow all apps released in this year 2017, as per https://www.donation....msg412288#msg412288, so I think we should request the developers to submit them as NANY 2018 and help us increase the number of submissions.

Living Room / mozilla asking for donation in new tab page

« on: December 28, 2017, 02:14 AM »

I noticed that FireFox is showing a band for donation at lower part of new tab page.

What is interesting is that the height of the band increases every day/week. Has anyone noticed it ?
It looks same like MS Edge popping a window, saying Edge is faster than .., every time I start FireFox.
Forcing user to notice.

All these alternatives were born due to frustration and requirement. But require sustained time and energy to keep development as the environment and requirements grow.

Running only on donations does not help much and keeping the enthusiasts developers together becomes problem as day passes by.
Mozilla is now asking for donations to continue. Linux is faltering.

So most turn out to be hobby projects not lasting more than few years.

Once we get closer to the turn of the year, I'll add this to the 2018 NANY page.

I suggest to add option 'Always on top' to have additional benefit for a window.

General Software Discussion / Re: save to text or print to file in chrome

« on: December 19, 2017, 04:10 AM »

Hi Target,

I use FF for many extension whose alternatives I can not find in Chrome and I can not browse without those extensions.
Anyway I searched for any text file in Chrome and when I pressed Ctrl+S to save, Chrome gave option to save as text file, see image.

save a web page as text (it's actually plain txt, not HTML) or print it to a (txt) file?

-Target (December 19, 2017, 12:46 AM)

So, if it is a txt file, it will save without ant html markup. But you may get unix coded text instead of dos due to where its server.

Anand

DC Website Help and Extras / Re: Official New DC Members Pages Thread

« on: December 13, 2017, 05:40 AM »

Also: As part of the new DC, I wonder if it's not time to revive our old idea of having some regular columnists who write weekly or twice weekly blogs on some area of the software/technology scene.  Anyone feel like they might be interested in such a thing?

-mouser (December 13, 2017, 04:42 AM)

This is a very good idea. I have noted that some members are now posting very long messages and they can write them as blogs in DC. Also members who have retired (lucky guys) from day to day coding can put some tips and memories for us to have a smile in this day to day hectic schedules. My two cents.
