Post New Requests Here / Re: Desperate app request - restore window positions after wake from sleep scrambles

« on: July 25, 2017, 11:26 PM »

Uploaded the sourcecode. So your displays disconnect when they go to sleep, and not when the PC sleeps? That could possibly be detected in the program by watching the mouse and keyboard inactivity?

  WinPosSaver saves the window positions every minute, and restores the layout after sleep or hibernation.



You can quickly test it by using Save layout and Load layout from the menu.

This is the first draft, so please report errors. I have plenty of ideas for it, like saving and loading multiple layouts, option to automatically restart the programs when loading layouts, detecting when monitors are added and removed...

26.07.2017: Added monitor sleep detection. Also logs power changes to Log.txt

  AppMute toggles the sound of the active app when F1 is pressed. If the desktop or taskbar is active, all sound is toggled.



It's a very quick hack, it uses the volume mixer in Windows 10.

I'm not sure how standardized your foldernames are. I added an option to separate the title and genre from the rest of the folder name by a user defines text, but maybe separating by genre would be better? I could add all the IMDB genres to the file, and use that to split the folder names.

Happy anniversary, mouser!

I'm late to join this thread, and I must have been late joining DoncationCoder, too, 'cause no way it's been 10 years! 

DonationCoder was my 40 year crisis, together with buying a piano, and I must say it was a fun time, completing a Coding Snack just about every other night! I still have the DonationCredits, but I'll probably bankrupt DonationCoder if I withdraw them?

But three kids and a wife soon took their fair share of attention, and now I run my little five man computer firm, selling computers, hosting servers, developing web pages and of course programming helpful tools for local businesses, so I still use AutoHotkey pretty much every day! 

In the evenings I run the town news web page, and dream of finding the time to complete my groundbreaking software project and retire at 50!

So thank you DonationCoder, for all the praise, and for giving my life direction!

I'll be back full time when that retirement is secured, mouser!
