General Software Discussion / Re: Any (Free) VPN service to recommend?

@wr975

What i-net connection do you have (xx MBit downstream)?

Would you be so kind to provide a few speedtests? European servers would be sufficient.

General Software Discussion / Wordpress (plugin) - Manage gift card codes?

« on: September 06, 2011, 03:59 AM »

Hi,

I want to sell gift cards (two forms: downloadable (the user has to print it at home), the necessary code is emailed (atm manually because of the (manual) bank transfer payment) | as a physical product, after I got the payment I print the code on the card and send it in an envelope.

At the moment I have to handle both situations with a small excel sheet. I generate e.g. 50 unique codes and put them in the sheet and when someone wants to use his gift card I check if the code he supplies is valid and mark it as used.

Has anyone ever seen a good wordpress addon that can handle this kind of task automatically (after entering the code manually) or even better: is able to create the gift card (as a pdf) with one of the available codes inserted automatically?

Please note, I don't mean coupon codes I just want to promote my own business.

Tia,

Clipboard Help+Spell / Hotkey for capture only?

« on: August 06, 2011, 12:45 AM »

Hi,

I'm learning C# at the moment and therefore do a lot of copy and paste but I only need about 5% of the items to paste them more than once.

So I wanted to setup CH+S in a way that suits this specific need (only copy things with a special hotkey to limit the amount of entries) but failed

The Capture/View/Spell hotkey (here: win + c) will bring the main window of CH+S to front and I only want to use the quick paste pop-up menu and not the main window.

Is there a way how I can use CH+S that it will only copy selected text if a user defined hotkey (means: not ctrl + c) is pressed _without_ showing it's main window?

Regards,

there is a three year old thread that was requesting this feature ;)

Any info if / when a "retain the original format" clipboard storage will be available?

Find And Run Robot / Re: Never show the tray symbol?

« on: July 17, 2011, 06:15 PM »

Program Options - Settings - Window Options - Show on TaskBar when active = disabled (not checked)
Program Options - Settings - Advanced Visuals - Do not show icon in system tray when minimized = enabled (checked)

This is my current configuration.

I have no task bar entry (never) but the tray notification icon appears every time I invoke FARR and stays there as long FARR is active (waiting for a search input). If I hit Esc, or close the gui with the little x, the tray notification icon vanishes.

I'm on Windows 7 Ultimate, x64, german language.

Find And Run Robot / Re: Never show the tray symbol?

« on: July 17, 2011, 06:06 PM »

What I want to achieve: Never show a task bar entry _nor a tray notification entry_ for FARR no matter if the gui is on the screen (waiting for a command to enter) or minimized (FARR's gui is not visible).

"Do not show icon in system tray when minimized" is nice but I'd like to have an additional option "Do not show icon in system tray when _not_ minimized" which (if both are checked) would cause FARR's icon to _never_ appear, regardless of it's state (gui's visible or not).

Find And Run Robot / Re: Web search as default when no entry was found?

« on: July 11, 2011, 04:06 AM »

Thanks a lot, mouser

Adding this alias works as expected now.

Maybe you could add a little visual tweak to farr to make this special kind of use a bit smoother?

If you type a longer searchstring (e.g.: windows 7 registry hide user) the status bar of farr flickers a lot after you've reached the "7" because no results were found and with every additional letter that you type the statusbar switches between: Found 0 results in 0 seconds. | the directory in which farr is actually searching.

Maybe a user definable delay between 2 keystrokes after farr got two "found 0 results" in a row? Basically something like the "delay search start based on inter-keypress interval and length of search string" for this special kind of purpose?

Find And Run Robot / Never show the tray symbol?

« on: July 10, 2011, 12:41 PM »

Hi,

I'm wondering if there isn't any option to never display the farr icon in the tray notification area?

I've already checked "Do not show icon in system tray when minimized" but it still appears when
farr is invoked by a keyboard shortcut.

Find And Run Robot / Web search as default when no entry was found?

« on: July 10, 2011, 12:33 PM »

Hi,

is there any way to use the current text as a web search phrase if no result was found?

Of course without any additional modifiers or by putting something like search in front.

I've used launchy for a long time and I'm used to this feature that you can type in anything
and as long it's not a valid search result it will open the phrase in the current web browser
by hitting enter at the end of the line

Finished Programs / Re: wav player without any gui

« on: July 08, 2011, 01:47 AM »

Hi and sorry for the delay (it was time for sleep here in good old germany)

Also, to the original poster, is there any reason for the /exit switch?  I mean, it would make more sense to automatically close the app after playing a file but use a /keep switch to keep it running, no?  Otherwise, simply dropping wav files on the exe will lead to several hanging instances.

You're right skwire, it would make more sense to close the process automatically and only keep it active when a "/keep" option was provided.

I've just tested it under Win7 X64 and it worked fine without any errors

Can you provide the sourcecode (after the change for the command line option), please? Seems you did it via autohotkey and so it would be easier to give it a better fitting icon *g*

About renaming it: I wouldn't call it "Escape" otherwise people will have a hard time to find this thread in a search engine when they're in need of such a miniplayer

P.S.: I'm on a birthday today so I can't follow this thread again until tomorrow afternoon (regarding further tests).

Regards and thanks a lot,

Finished Programs / DONE: wav player without any gui

« on: July 07, 2011, 05:25 PM »

Hi,

I'm desperately looking for a simple .wav player that doesn't have any gui at all.

It should have the following features:

- Can be invoked via a e.g. dos prompt (e.g. wavplayer.exe <file> [option])
option = /exit (quit the player after playing the file)
- Works under x86 _and_ x64 systems (WinXP - Win7)
- Portable, configuration files should not be needed

I've used microwav before I switched to Win 7 x64 which worked fine under any x86 environment but fails under x64.
