General Software Discussion / keeping/saving cloned files
« on: September 08, 2006, 09:04 AM »
Sounds like some type of genetic zoo  ;D

does anyone know if theres a way to keep cloned copies of a file (in Dopus you can have a virtual copy* but i want a hard copy)

Say I could clone a file & place it in two different folders, then if i work on & save a file from one folder I want it to update automatically** in the other. (They would be on the same drive)



Don't know will the following help or hinder your understanding, but sure here goes:


I'm working on drawings that I get in mixed batches (they are of archaeological sites in different counties) which eventually have to be filed according to what county they're from.

I work on them in the "Batch" folder (cause thats how they will initially have to be delivered)
but
I keep loosing track of whether I have the most recent version of the file in the "Final" folder (which is by county name).


*As i say I'm aware this can be done with virtual folders but for a couple of reasons cloned copies would be better for me. (mainly my backup procedure)

**Backup software wouldnt really be feasible for this - I'd have a different path for each file

Also I could just look at changing "the [filing] system" (from within!)

Screenshot Captor / Re: Problems with Opera
« on: September 08, 2006, 07:33 AM »
 I realised that I hadnt used Screenshot with Opera before above post -
Today I tried to get screenshot of a selected region - it took the screenshot but then seized up. I was able to close it & the shot was there when I reopened.

today again I had a page that wouldnt print or allow me to copy all the text or allow me to view print preview - it crashes (coincidence or buggy..)

not complaining here - just trying to track things down  :)

no, it's QuickTime Alternative, you can download it here.
cheers,
got that!


on a totally unrelated note, I'm curious about your "footer":

form does not differ from emptiness,
emptiness does not differ from form.
that which is form is emptiness,  that which is emptiness form.


is that a quote from somewhere?
its a bit like that if you're drawing/sketching something - you draw the "something", you draw the spaces around it  - 
you draw the "form", you draw the "emptyness"  :)

and the player, real (and quicktime) alternative are lighter, better in every way

I'm curious, esp re quicktime (it now downloads with itunes i think it is - a big download & one i dont want),
what do you use kimmchii?

Edit: or is the name of it Real Alternative ??!!  :D

Post New Requests Here / Re: IDEA: Very simple timeclock utility
« on: September 07, 2006, 09:56 AM »
Damn, this is a neat idea!
And evolved into a cool program, congratulations doublebogey!
You're definitelly getting some credits for this  :Thmbsup:

Btw... I think it's logging way too much titles, ...

...Yet another request: so that the list won't become as big, would it be possible that when the AHK_ID was kept, the program wouldn't make a new entry? I say this because programs as opera or vim change their title frequently and tend to generate an ocean of entries. (maybe this should be kept as an option, as some might like it as it is)

for my purposes it would be handier say, if it just said: Opera, instead of listing each site as I change the tabs/windows. (It does make a very long file!)
  if possible!  :)
