Coding Snacks / Re: change f.lux brightness mouse remote (like Volume²)

« on: July 03, 2019, 08:56 AM »

I have AutoHotkey installed, but couldn't get your code to work. No idea why...

-brotherS (July 03, 2019, 05:32 AM)

Did you save out the code to a something.ahk file and then run it?

Do you have AutoHotkey installed?  If so, try out this simple script:

Code: Autohotkey [Select]

1. myEdgePixels := 10
2.  
3. ~WheelUp::
4. ~WheelDown::
5. {
6.     MouseGetPos, myX
7.     If ( ( A_ScreenWidth - myX ) <= myEdgePixels )
8.     {
9.         If ( A_ThisHotkey = "~WheelUp" )
10.         {
11.             SendInput, !{Up} ; Send Alt+Up.
12.         }
13.         If ( A_ThisHotkey = "~WheelDown" )
14.         {
15.             SendInput, !{Down} ; Send Alt+Down.
16.         }
17.     }
18. }
19. Return

If you don't have AutoHotkey installed, let me know, and I'll compile this into an executable.  Also, I don't have f.lux installed, so this is untested.

Does the actual weather data that sWeather displays match with what shows in the raw weather data?

Skwire Empire / Re: sWeather Not Refreshing

« on: July 01, 2019, 03:53 PM »

Bring up sWeather and choose Options > Show raw weather data from the menu (or press F7).  In the webpage that comes up, look for the "lastBuildDate" line, e.g.: <lastBuildDate>Mon, 01 Jul 2019 03:49 PM CDT</lastBuildDate>

If it matches the "08:00 AM CDT" that's showing in sWeather, the problem is on Yahoo! Weather side.  If so, this usually works itself out over a matter of hours (sometimes days).

Can't see any of the problem characters. Also would it be possible to default the naming to capitalizing? Just the actual name not the other listings.

-nickodemos (May 24, 2019, 09:50 PM)

Doh, that was an error on my part.  Please redownload.  It should be v1.0.0 build 15 now.

-nickodemos (May 24, 2019, 09:50 PM)

Do you mean you want to be able to type something like "a nightmare on elm street" and have it use "A Nightmare On Elm Street" in the actual rename?  If so, yes, it's possible, but I think it's completely counter-intuitive to what would be expected by the majority of users.  I think the majority of users would want the name to appear exactly how they typed it in the field.

I have coded in quite a bit of error checking but, until we get any kinks worked out, please work on copies of your files.

Yes. Are there options to be able to add or remove things in the drop down menues?

-nickodemos (May 14, 2019, 07:06 PM)

Yes, the buttons next to the dropdown are edit buttons.  The "..." are just placeholders; they will be replaced with the typical edit image (pencil).

Most of the functionality is in place.  I'm assuming the following screenshot is pretty close to what you had in mind?

Living Room / Re: Got new phone, is there an easy way to transfer my settings/apps/data?

« on: May 13, 2019, 09:03 AM »

If I use Phone Explorer to backup the apps, will it work?

-kalos (May 12, 2019, 12:11 PM)

We don't know.  Try it and report back.

Will the settings be backed up too?

-kalos (May 12, 2019, 12:11 PM)

Based on my own experiences as an Android user for over a decade, the answer is sometimes, for some apps, your settings will transfer over.  Sometimes they will not.  Sometimes, an app will offer a settings export feature that results in a file you can import on your new phone.  It's all part of the fun.  Haha.

Can I just restore the backup to my new device?

-kalos (May 12, 2019, 12:11 PM)

Try.  It.  You have absolutely nothing to lose by trying it.

« on: April 04, 2019, 02:41 PM »

@MourningStar:  The other thing you could do is use the "Apps Key" to bring up the context menu (after selecting your files), and then use arrow keys to choose what you want from the menu.

« on: April 04, 2019, 02:34 PM »

So are you saying that you want a contextual keymap based on the application that is foregrounded?

-wraith808 (April 03, 2019, 01:02 PM)

No, I don't think so.  He wants to automate, with a hotkey, the "right-click > choose some context menu action" one does after, typically, selecting files.

@MourningStar: Because right-click shell stuff like this is quite tricky to automate, you might want to look at Cautomaton, released by Worstje, one of the coders here on DC.

As long as he didn't charge into somebody, which might be considered battery, there should be no need to get the coppers involved.
