General Software Discussion / Locate32

« on: May 02, 2012, 09:45 PM »

Hi there,

I use the latest build (3.1.11.7100) of Locate32. Since this version is only available as a portable program, how can I make this program to start automatically when I log in to Windows?

I have enabled the setting "Run Locate on system startup" in the "Settings" option to no avail. In general, how can one enable a portable program to start automatically when you login to Windows?

General Software Discussion / Powerful Yet Light Weight Image Editor

Hi there,

I was wondering if any donationcoder member has made an image editor. Just like "Screenshot Captor", has anyone made a light yet powerful image editing tool?

Post New Requests Here / [IDEA] Opening List of Links

« on: March 19, 2012, 12:19 PM »

Hi there,

I was browsing a website today in which I came across a list of 5 links like:

Link1
Link2
Link3
Link4
Link5

I had to manually click each link to open the webpage. At that point, I realized that this could be a coding snack.

Best example is on this same page at the top. We see a list of 5 links like:

DonationCoder.com Forum
DonationCoder.com Software
Coding Snacks

Is it possible to code this like:

Select all the links, right-click and choose an option like "Open links as Tabs" or "Open links as Windows" so that all the links are opened simultaneously?

Thanks

General Software Discussion / Question regarding the "Sandboxie" program

« on: January 19, 2012, 07:29 PM »

I would like to know whether the following functionality is available in Sandboxie:
 
Currently, when a program is installed outside of a sandbox and then if a new sandbox is created or if an existing sandbox is opened, we see the installed program in the sandbox too (that is, changes in the actual system are carried into any sandbox). I would like to know if it is possible to restrict changes from the "actual" system to the "sandbox"?
 
Currently, the opposite functionality exists, that is any change in a sandbox is not carried to the actual system but would like to have it the other way around.
 
Thanks!

Oh my god. This was built into the OS and I (& probably even others) never even knew of it. I tried it on a couple of windows and it worked. Thanks a million.

Finished Programs / SOLVED: Copy Text From Error Windows

« on: January 12, 2012, 11:01 AM »

Hi there. Was wondering if there is any program / script (any other way) that can copy text from error windows (or any other message windows). Often while communicating over IM for technical troubleshooting, it is required to quickly copy and send the error message to the other party. Sending screenshots of the error window is one way that I am aware of but what I really need is a way to copy the error message from the window and send it to the other party instead of manually typing long error messages.

A sample image of an error window is attached. In this case normally, I cannot copy the text from this window. Is it possible to make a program that can copy the text from such windows???

Thanks!!

It spans a few lines - 3 to 4 lines I think. (I have copied the code after clicking on "copy or print" link in the code box above and pasted it in Notepad) and then ran the script. Do I have it on the Notepad "just as" it appears in the code box above without the line numbers?

@skwire: Thanks for providing the script. I am totally new at this (AutoHotkey and stuff). I tried to run the script and got the attached error.

Finished Programs / SOLVED: Taking Screenshot (via PrtScn) & MS Paint

« on: December 27, 2011, 08:32 AM »

I believe most users take screenshots by directly pressing the "PrtScn" button (entire screen) or "Alt + PrtScn" (for the active window). After this, they use the MS Paint program in this sequence:

1. Click on the "Start" logo or press the "Start" button on the keyboard (if available)
2. Type in Paint and click on "Paint" from the results or navigate to All Programs > Accessories > Paint
3. Open Paint and paste the image (Ctrl + V) or by the menu option.

I was wondering if it is possible to eliminate all the above 3 steps so that when the user presses either the "PrtScn" button or "Alt + PrtScn", MS Paint should open automatically with the copied image.

Post New Requests Here / IDEA: Selected Text Count

« on: December 09, 2011, 04:44 AM »

Hi,

I am looking for a program which would instantly show the count of the selected items (list). I know that this can be done in Excel but I need this on a global basis (everywhere - desktop, inside a program, Notepad, Word, etc). In short any text that can be selected.

For example: When I select 3 icons on the desktop, it should show the count as 3 besides the mouse pointer (like tool help tip). Similarly, when I select text like:

Hello
This
is what
i need

it should show a count as 4 (4 lines selected). Additional information like number of characters, words, lines etc would be an icing to the cake.

Is such a program possible on a global basis in Windows?

Thanks!

Ok, I just tried DShutdown to no avail. Firstly, I started the service program and then in the main options, I tried selecting first the "Power Off" and then "Shutdown" while setting the idle time out option and guess what, the PC never shut down at all after I logged out. (Atleast AutoShutdown Pro does that part)...

Secondly, even if any program is able to shut down after a period of inactivity, how can it check if any user is logged in or not...(For example, I wouldn't want the program to shut my PC when I have a download in progress and have locked it.)

The power options in win 7 and the software available (most of which I have tested) are timer based and give an option to shutdown the PC at a certain time. But this is not my requirement. I need to shutdown my PC when there is no user logged in and there is no activity (for example no activity for half hour).

Can you guys help me with coding this as a service for this (I guess this needs to be coded as a service as no user has logged in)

No, I just checked the power options in Win 7 and it does not provide this.

Post New Requests Here / PC Shut down

« on: August 20, 2011, 08:46 PM »

Hi guys,

Ok, so this is what I have searched for and have landed here. I need a tiny little program that can automatically shutdown my PC if the following 2 conditions are met simultaneously:

1. No user has logged in &
2. After after a certain amount of time / inactivity. When the user has specified an idle time duration (during program setup).

Often, many of my office systems have no one logged in the whole night. I really feel that this is a must have program and would save a lot of power. I think this would have to be coded as a service. Request any of the coders here to help me with this.

Thanks!
