N.A.N.Y. 2012 / Re: NANY 2012 Pledge & Final Release: Paste Text Like

« on: February 20, 2012, 06:34 AM »

Thanks ralfs. I am happy that PTL is now more useful to you and hopefully other 'advance' users.

To tell you the truth, I do not want to explain about 'Menu Hotkeys Ini' because I do not like it. I do not want the users to worry if they should write ^P or ^p for Ctrl+Shift+P keys. As a developer I am here to worry about it and the users should get clear checkbox options for it.

That's the reason I mentioned about 'advance users' on the website, as I know they will find it out  but it will also force me to find some quality time to complete it as general users are waiting for it.

These Apps are my love but to pay bills I need the project works too. So I request all to bear with me.

Regards,

Anand

Thanks empyrean for the appreciation.

At last got some time, and completed the "Menu Hotkeys" settings option.

This is intended for advance users having knowledge of editing INI file directly, as I am inundated with project works and not getting proper time to make the GUI for it for general users, which I will make hopefully sooner than later.

Please check the same link in the original post for the download and please send feedback.

Hope, I am able to put smile to some of my users  .

Official Announcements / Re: I want to try an experiment on the site for March 2012

« on: February 17, 2012, 11:04 AM »

Mouser, if you ask for permission, expect to get 50-50 answer. You will not be able to keep everyone happy.

There must be very solid reason why in spite of being against ads, you want the ads (though for a short time). I can only guess, but yes, it is difficult to run longer on empty stomach. Donation alone can not sustain where expenses are high.

Instead of putting my self on any side, let me put my feeling of web pages with ads.

I like GMail text only contextual ads on the right side. It even helped me with local ads a few times.
I hate text or image ads in the middle which camouflage itself as a non-ads.
I hate animated ads (some just pissed me off from very decent image sites).

Since we discuss and the text matter of each page of forum and DC site gets change, the "contextual text ads" will look better and may even add some related information to the page.

Obviously, as noted by others, you will not get the correct result in one month time. But if you continue to have something, which does not hamper our usage and visual interaction with our site then, I think, few will complain.

Regards,

Anand

Hi ralfs, sorry for delay.

When I went to code as I decided, that only ini will have it for advance user, I felt I should make it general for all menu options as another user may require a hotkey for say 'remove all blanks'. So while coding the GUI for the same I got stuck. Then there is year end pressure (for March 2012 end) of my project work going on now.

So I kept it on hold. But now I feel bad, and promise you to give what I promised earlier in a weeks time. I want to see smile on my user's face  . This is my most valuable asset.

Regards,

Anand

Hmmm..

Got my gift last week but still waiting for the certificate. Actually expected to be the reverse as last year the gift arrived after 3 months. Was planning to upload both photos at a time.

Please wait for another week or so, for the photo. Hope to get the certificate now, as others have started receiving it.

General Software Discussion / Re: Software to monitor ALL incoming/outgoing connections to computer?

« on: February 04, 2012, 01:48 AM »

I was having problem when I was posted in different branch. All our machines are connected to internet with proxy server, and though it has all firewall and anti virus active, many of our machine are infected.

Life goes like this in this branch. But I was worried of my machine. I wanted every connection/port trying to reach my machine to be notified/barred and every application from my machine trying to reach internet to be notified/barred. I needed a simple and small solution.

My search reached Filseclab Personal Firewall http://www.filseclab.com/, a 8 MB freeware.

Ever since I installed it, my machine is safer in this infected zone. All connection to my machine are barred, but I can grant specific one if I need to. All new application just can not visit the internet at their own wish; they need my permission and for most I deny.

It does creates log file if enabled. You can try it and see if it serves your purpose.

Hi Johndim,

I do not have any tablet right now and so can not even visualize how SAN should work on it. But yes your suggestion points where the developers now have to look, beyond Windows.

Thanks for the appreciation.

mouser, I was making changes to my websites and noticed that last year you gave a 'ribbon' image

Can we get similar or in different design for this year ?

Thanks empyrean for the feedback.

Yes I have a simple Html2Text logic, which remove all html tags, but your suggestion requires to keep the <a> tags. I will see how to give both options. Your suggestion on file name also implies that I have to give some option to user to remove/change the invalid characters.

Actually I wanted PTL to be very simple and straight forward. It should work out of box and mostly for all users. But there are advance users who like to control the things 

Ok I will plan and give the options, but will try to keep it simple and minimal, else it will also become same like other similar apps and slow down.

Anand

Let me see.

• - option to lock selected PTL menus (as suggested by TaoPhoenix) so that the most used by user can be at the main popup
• - short cut key of each menu as decided by user
• - hotkey setup max 4, on user choice menus (as requested by ralfs and KRSMAV)
• - Some new menu options to manipulate text like text2html and vice versa, etc. (as suggested by Jibz)

Hmmm.., looks like I can do it. 

But, yes but, the configuration option for the above need some time to make, which is in very short supply to me (oh how I hoped GOD should upgrade the day time to 48 hours).

In a quick response I may give a definable hotkey for paste plain text, via ini itself, so that advance user can get started while I make the dialog windows.

Wish me time.

Anand

Hi Tinman57 and Curt, I had more plans for TWD along with the sound option. But it looks like this is a basic feature and should have been from the initial release.

I have found two sound (mp3 files) which I will include in next release, hope fully this week end. One is of short length and the other is a bit longer, so that one does not miss it from next room

It will also be possible to play you choice mp3, wav etc. file, instead.

Yes, ralfs, you can change the hotkey from the 'settings' option (right click on tray icon for the menu). I have kept only the standard keys as special keys behave differently if language is different.

Yes, you can just press the underlined hotkey of the PTL popup menu, i.e Win+v then u to get 'uppercase' or Win+v then r followed by a to remove all blank spaces and duplicate blank lines from the text and paste it.

I am planning to walk on skwire's footmarks , for next year.

I will search for some small, better portable, app which makes flv, avi, wmv or mk4 etc. and also uploads to youtube (will be bonus). No audio required, as I do not have any audio system. But will put text message at each step.

Wink or something, is one such I checked few years back, any other suggestion ?

2. Finalist

Deozaan, please allow things to grow, not stay where it was. Please do not understand me wrong, but if we do not try something new, the enthusiasm of NANY may die some day. Case in point Win8, IPad, to try something new.

The sample 'certificate' bear's my name, Great ! I got one for my website first hand, thank you mouser.

'participant' or 'winner' ?, if one seems like consolation prize, the other makes it top prize. There must be some in between. Google did not helped me, please some one from DC member chip in a good word. 

'Development' just came in my mind. This make it look like ' one has developed something for the NANY 2012'. Well what you think ?

Thanks, PhilB66 for the 'StickyTool' link. I will add it on 'Stick A Note' site as similar program along with GUM Notes and Context Notes. Well I will never be able to make all features of all similar programs and that is not my intention too. I am trying to take the features which, I think or the user tell me, are important for SAN usage. If you look from the other side of the river, you will find few features of SAN missing in them 

Thanks TaoPhoenix, and yes there many possibilities due to text file feature of SAN. In fact I got one paid project where I was able to show current attendance information as a 'Stick A Note' on a 3rd party program, which is very old and its developer had left, but was still very useful to the user. I can not reveal more as this is a paid project, but I know many developer here will get the hint

Anand
