DC Gamer Club / Re: Torchlight 2

I am getting angry with this: developers changing release dates and saying they did not tell them in the past.
First it was July, then "Summer 2012" (in fact it may mean December - AFAIK that's summer in Australia) and now "we will tell you soon".

I know development needs time and I know I am whining here but - seriously - if I treat my landlord same way, I would be living in cardboard box pretty quickly.

Does your software save embedded color profiles?
It can to may lead to many issues in various applications (i.e. Firefox or others).

1. Similar to this:
http://jqueryui.com/download
…but for other web libraries/frameworks (modernizer, html5 shiv, etc.).

4. Many image browsers have geotagging support: you click on "tag it" button and have gmaps loaded (your service) in application window. You chose location and it gets saved as longitude+latitude +altitude (sometimes) in image meta info. If you have custom mapping service instead of gmaps, real coordinates could be shown on custom map.
i.e. 52° 15' 0" N / 21° 0' 0" E would not show Warsaw on it but "the sniper tower located left of the east gate".

1. web configurator - chose what would you like to see on your page, what browsers to support, etc. -> you'll see links for libraries
i.e I want my page to support HTML5/CSS3 and fixed size layout - links for modernizer and 960

2. cook it - type in what you've got in fridge -> see closest recipe

3. pr0n lookup - chose what kind of " human features" you like ->  actress name

4. gmaps like system for custom maps - I would really like to have GPS tagged games screenshots

5. fun SPAM - page with hilarious email SPAM screenshots,

I am one of the happy XP users and there is no true reason for me to lose few hundreds bucks just for the sake of newer OS and IE bashing.
IE8 is not so bad with few JS libraries in use (a LOT better than previous versions when you need to fix websites and I do it daily).

@cranioscopical
It is still the same issue: Designer generated code has one method called before proper object is set. You can be sure that's it if you see:

at System.Windows.Forms.Control.ResumeLayout(Boolean performLayout)
at BBCeditor.Form1.InitializeComponent() in D:\code\Projects2010\BBCeditor\BBCeditor\Form1.Designer.cs:line 1604

I had thought one time fix is enough but I was wrong: any work with Designer switches this error back. This is something to teach you being scrupulous

hehe, it's not like you had anything else to do though, is it...

-Target (August 02, 2012, 05:09 PM)

Yes and no
No - BBCeditor has most of the features you would normally use and I am pretty lazy.

Yes:
- code cleanup (again) - there is a lot of redundant or unwanted code - either from old engine (manual parsing in past, regexp now) or some functions used multiple times (Ctrl+C/V is easier for beginner but re-factoring is important for bigger programs),
- tabs - always useful but multithreading is still problematic for me (preview is generated in separate thread),
- templates - although BBCeditor has snippets it would be nice to implement templates like DC has,
- tags rule sets -there are multiple variations of BB syntax and my tool tries to handle most of them but maybe some should be possible to be switched off (i.e. parse only tags which are valid for DC),
- live editor - I saw on CodeProject HTML edit control which allowed to edit HTML code directly within it; BBCeditor would have the possibility to work in WYSIWYG way;
- direct post -it should be technically possible to send POST message via HTTP to any web address and put your message directly into wanted board,
- BB syntax highlight,
- text operation - sorting, case change, etc.
- Jump lists - since I have Win7 on my work laptop I can always play with that.

General Software Discussion / Re: A strange Hijack

« on: August 02, 2012, 03:17 PM »

a couple of years ago (XP admin account), I was opening tabs in the background, from a google search.

-tomos (August 02, 2012, 11:25 AM)

Thread just in time?
I had similar issue 2 days ago on my PC: some Java applet (or Uplay I forgot to disable) started in background tab and created crappy application in my TEMP folder. Comodo reacted immediately but I was unable to do anything because intruder showed fullscreen window (white with 404 page) on top of everything. Since it was constantly putting itself on top of everything I couldn't even kill it from Task Manager. Live Security Premium fake AV was running and I thought nothing can be done. Although second screen was unchanged I couldn't even close my system so… hard reset into Admin mode.

Luckily: such crap did not start automatically. I've cleared TEMP folder completely, managed to find and disable bad stuff with Autoruns, and run couple of helpful applications (including HijackThis). After full system scan it appeared that manual play with DEL button and Autoruns was enough and only some trash in browser cache was additionally removed.

BUT now my believe in having clean system decreased… and browsing with browsers plugins disabled is not as comfortable as with them.

I will try to sit down on weekend and provide package with some buttons preconfigured for this feature.

The problem here is: I am always overthinking things, so now I have not only an idea for starting external application with some parameters BUT to also have WM_MESSAGES support. Darn me

@ioncube
Thank you for your help but I will make it in different way: by adding Regexp type custom tag.
You will have the possibility to define any bbc string which will be replaced with custom HTML.
This way it should be more flexible and will not require new versions for each new/strange tag.

BTW I would suggest using CSS classes for rendered HTML - thanks to that you'll have more preview skinning options.
