Post New Requests Here / Re: IDEA: Windows 8.1 "Show Desktop" to do "Win + M" from "Win + D"

« on: October 01, 2014, 06:03 AM »

i am not sure if it is compatible with Win 8.1 but have you tried this app, "Show Desktop"? it has an option to toggle between two different ways of showing the desktop.

"large image alert"

Screenshot Captor / So what other helper tools do you use with Screenshot Captor?

« on: September 28, 2014, 04:43 AM »

in the recent update (v4.8.7 Beta), mouser added the Tools menu to SC's system tray menu. the ability to use external tools from within SC is one of the advantage that I very much like. so I was wondering what other tools out there that can complement or enhance your SC experience.

i'll start with my own SC tools menu, it's quite self-explanatory and it helps a lot with my workflow. though mouser has graciously implemented many of my requests to make things even smoother!

Screenshot Captor / Re: black screen

« on: September 26, 2014, 06:47 AM »

@Ravin dave: according to wikipedia, there seems to be a certain in-game function to capture screenshots. perhaps this feature may be interfering with Screenshot Captor?

To recall clues or important items, players can use a camera feature to take screenshots, which are then placed in a journal the player can access at any time.

Finished Programs / Re: WinWarden send window to back / bottom

« on: September 25, 2014, 04:48 AM »

adding a TrayTip command would provide a visual clue to the users as to what is happening, which I have already added in the above code.

I don't see any drawbacks between using WinWait and Loop, it is just a matter of personal preference. feel free to try out the example you linked, and see if there are any differences. you can use WinWaitActive/WinWaitNotActive.

Hi rodp,

glad to be see the script working. if you want to interact with the said window (Execute window), you can press Ctrl+Esc to pause the script. give it a try and see if that works for you.

i am not sure if what you're asking is possible with WinWarden but if you want to go the Autohotkey route, this might be of help:

this is untested and you may have to change the "Sleep' duration a bit.

Code: Autohotkey [Select]

1. #Persistent
2. #SingleInstance, Force
3. #NoEnv
4.  
5. SendMode, Input
6. SetTitleMatchMode, 2            ; partial match
7. SetWorkingDir, %A_ScriptDir%
8. DetectHiddenWindows, Off        ; they're hidden for a reason.
9.  
10. var1 := "NPD PowerView: Execute Table"
11.  
12. Loop {
13. IfWinNotActive, % var1
14.         {
15.         WinGetActiveTitle, active_title
16.         WinGetClass, active_class, A
17.         }
18. IfWinActive, % var1
19.         {
20.         WinActivate % active_title
21.         WinActivate % "ahk_class " . active_class
22.         TrayTip,Note:,The NPD PowerView window has lost focus. `nPlease press Ctrl+Esc if you wish to interact with it.,10,1
23.         }
24. Sleep, 500
25. }
26. Return
27.  
28. ^Esc::Pause                     ; Ctrl + Esc pauses
29. +Esc::ExitApp                   ; Shift + Esc exits

Edit: added a visual hint for users.

Post New Requests Here / Re: Execute only if not running

« on: September 23, 2014, 08:40 PM »

if you want an AHK solution as Miles suggested, this snippet would be a start. win+a launches notepad if it is not running.

Code: Autohotkey [Select]

1. notepadpath = c:\windows\notepad.exe
2.  
3. #a::
4. Process, Exist, notepad.exe ; see if notepad is running
5. {
6. If ! ErrorLevel
7.         {
8.         IfExist, % notepadpath
9.                 Run,% notepadpath
10.         Return
11.         }
