Screenshot Captor / Arrow Object bug

« on: September 26, 2005, 05:05 AM »

I just tried that option for the first time and was VERY confused, since the arrow wasn't drawn FROM start TO end but vice versa (pointing to the *starting* point)!? I'd understand it if this would be an Arabian program, could you fix that please?

Post New Requests Here / IDEA: resize fonts in Internet Explorer 6 as easily as in Firefox

« on: September 20, 2005, 12:55 PM »

Hi

In Firefox it's possible to just use Ctrl and + to increase or Ctrl and - to decrease the font size. Since I can't always use Firefox instead of IE I would like to have the same Firefox comfort in IE (at least for size changes). I think it would be possible with AutoHotkey since it's possible using the mouse or the menu already - but just not with one or two keys :-/

Looking forward to answers!

Finished Programs / DONE: move around windows with keys + extra feature

« on: September 20, 2005, 08:26 AM »

Hi!

I don't remember where exactly I found this great script, maybe it's even skrommel's code

It works perfectly, I just miss ONE feature. The script should not only move the window but the mouse cursor with it, to prevent that the window would move away from beneath the cursor.

Thanks in advance!

[Select]

;move active window around with Windows+l/r/up/down
; move active window xx pixels right
#right::
   wingetpos x, y,,, A   ; get coordinates of the active window
   x += 30           ; add this distance to the x coordinate
   winmove, A,,%x%, %y%  ; make the active window use the new coordinates
   return              ; finish

; move active window xx pixels left
#left::
   wingetpos x, y,,, A
   x -= 30
   winmove, A,,%x%, %y%
   return

; move active window xx pixels up
#Up::
   wingetpos x, y,,, A
   y -= 30
   winmove, A,,%x%, %y%
   return

; move active window xx pixels down
#Down::
   wingetpos x, y,,, A
   y += 30
   winmove, A,,%x%, %y%
   return

Post New Requests Here / IDEA: ShoutcastConcierge/ helpful tool to show some shoutcast stream titles

« on: September 19, 2005, 02:48 AM »

Hi,

since the day I virtually completely stopped listening to mp3 files and started to listen to live streams only I'm searching for a tool like this! Reason why: I'm listening to about 7 streams - and while most of them DO have a schedule it happens that a live show is delayed or canceled or another show comes up unexpected - so I have to stop listening to the stream I'm listening to, only to check what the other streams are playing... This is what Shoutcast Overview (just a suggestion for a name that would give good Google results) should do and look like:

• a tiny window with no menues on the desktop
• the window would show the shoutcast titles for a number of chosen streams
• in the window, there would be an on/off switch for every visible entry
• right-clicking the window or the tray icon will give you a menu for options/quit/etc.
• there should be an option to turn off the taskbar 'icon' (so that you'll only have the tray icon)
• in the options you would set the interval of the title updates, like: a) wait X seconds before checking next stream and b) wait Y seconds before start with the first active stream again
• the options should allow to import single (not all!) entries from a Winamp playlist (ASCII)
• in the options, there would be a show/not-show switch to change the visibility of the entries in the desktop window

You see that I gave it quite a thought already Would be really, really great if someone would code it!

If there should be any questions about how to code the shoutcast part of the tool, I bet there are folks willing to help available in the Winamp forum.

Also, since there are millions of shoutcast and Winamp users, this could also mean quite some attention for DonationCoder.com if you list the tool in places like http://fileforum.betanews.com/ and tell some popular freeware/shareware news sites about it.

Thoughts and feedback please!

Screenshot Captor / v2.00.09 suggestions

« on: September 16, 2005, 07:57 AM »

Hi,

some new ideas

- auto-clear preview window
I find it a bit confusing that the last image captured will still be shown in the right part of your program even if you have deleted or moved it to another location

- make Preferences window stick in the foreground or open as a new window that you'll see with Alt-TAB
since I use the "mouse cursor over a window will focus that without clicking" option of Windows you should either a) move the mouse cursor over the "OK" button when opening the preferences b) make that window stick to the foreground or c) open as a new instance (I'd vote for a)

- ESC should close Preferences window
the title says it all

Thanks!

Screenshot Captor / v2.00.09 bug - strange problem, I can't fix it

« on: September 13, 2005, 10:49 AM »

Hi,

me again I just used the "Move To/Configure MoveTo Folder List" menu entry for the first - and when I tried to capture something right after that I got this strange problem (see attachment). Screenshot Captor won't even let me close it, I had to kill it with the Task Manager. Also, reinstalling the program did not help. I got the capture sound but there is nothing saved when the error window pops up.

And just now I noticed another minor problem: when you hit Alt (in the GUI), the 'menu row' will NOT be activated. Since that is standard for Windows (based programs) I'd like you to allow that too.

Thanks!

ProcessTamer / feature request: kill process if...

« on: September 13, 2005, 02:14 AM »

Hi!

I like the idea of Process Tamer but can't use it for the problem I have: one program that I run 24/7 sometimes acts up and then uses almost ~100% CPU. It won't react *anymore* so Process Tamer isn't able to reduce it's CPU load

This is why I would like a "kill process when CPU usage is more than (X) % for more than (Y) minutes" option. Maybe even with an additional "(XX) minutes after killing process (YY), start up .exe (ZZ)" option?

Screenshot Captor / v2.00.09 - suggestion for "On Capture" option

« on: September 13, 2005, 02:09 AM »

Hi,

please enhance the On Capture --> On Capture option a bit: instead of or in addition to "Stay Minimized" I'd like an "don't return to Screenshot Captor" option. It should not jump back to the Screenshot Captor window even if that's not minimized when using the hotkeys to capture stuff.

Clipboard Help+Spell / suggestions: what I would love in Clipboard Help+Spell

« on: September 12, 2005, 08:24 AM »

Hi,

in this post I will compare Clipboard Help+Spell to ClipX - a great, tiny, free clipboard manager, which code isn't  updated anymore :-( Have a look here: http://www.addict3d....loadfile&ID=3088

- less RAM usage: ClipX does only use 500kb RAM, Clipboard Help+Spell did use 15 MB when I tested it

- ease of use: please test ClipX and let it inspire you What I especially like is the way it allows me to pop up the list of recent clipboard entries with a hotkey - where I can simply hit "s" to search for a string - and that I can set an additional hotkey that opens that list but but auto-selects the second but last entry.

- tray icon menu: this should contain an "options/preferences" entry

- a new name? To be honest, Clipboard Help+Spell isn't that good to remember, maybe you'll want a new name as it evolves?

Screenshot Captor / bug reports

« on: September 12, 2005, 08:08 AM »

Hi,

first of all: thank you for this great program, I really love it!
The latest version does not save the windows size and position on exit - I start Screenshot Captor, maximize, close it, start it again - and it has the wrong (default) window size and position...

I'd be happy if you could fix that!
