Probably a thing for mouser to look at - internal links might not work that well outside of thread view.
They seem to behave the same inside the thread - clicking the hyperlink (not the button) only scrolls to that same hyperlink. That's unexpected hyperlink behaviour.

those buttons were added by popular demand :) - perhaps we should take a poll vote on it? Or coax mouser into doing some addon so we can have personal preferences? ;)
Nah, it is probably best to just keep them in that case.

Thank you Ehtyar - several really interesting articles in that list!  :Thmbsup:

Two things though: the links in your list of articles, when displayed on the donationcoder frontpage, does not work (not in Firefox, not in Maxthon). Clicking a link only centres it but does not show the text and does not redirect to the relevant forum thread.

In the forum thread, I think it would be better to remove the "click to reveal/hide" buttons and just display all the contents as is. The user can quickly scroll. Additionally, a clickable index could be placed at the top.

These are just small suggestions. If you already have a good working process for assembling and posting these roundups then it is probably better to stick to that. But if you at some point rework the process then think about the above suggestions.

Find And Run Robot / Re: Search Folders Only?

As a complement to herojoker's solution, the autohotkey script from an old thread (
https://www.donationcoder.com/forum/index.php?topic=12478.0 ) can be useful:

~Space::
IfWinActive %A_Space%Find and Run Robot v2
 if A_PriorHotkey = %A_ThisHotkey%
  if A_TimeSincePriorHotkey < 400
   sendinput +\
return
(I've above changed the code from that old thread from "sendinput \" to "sendinput +\" )

I still think that it would be a good idea to have doublespace as a built in hotkey for toggling adding/removing of " +\". But for now, the script should work fine.

N.A.N.Y. 2009 / Re: NANY 2009 Communal Idea Thread

I don't think that I will have time to finish anything until january 1st (  :-[ ) but I promise to test and give feedback on some of the cool tools that others here are bound to produce.

Here is also an idea that someone else might want to code something out of: rejuvenate/revamp/reproduce the small bookmarking tool Tourl ( http://nod5.dcmembers.com/tourl.html ) so that it works with Firefox 3 and its new bookmark system. The two features in Tourl that I still think are really good, and hope for all other bookmark tools to implement, are (i) the special hotkey layout i.e. all keys reachable with the left hand, without looking, (ii) a very simple and quick way for adding a few preset tags to the bookmarks. For this to work with Firefox 3 bookmarks I suspect that it would have to be made as a Firefox add-on and not in autohotkey. That would make it a new enough program to qualify for the NANY 2009 I think.

I'm afraid I don't have a solution to offer but I would also be very interested to find an easy to use program of that kind. Hopefully someone else knows of one! Standard flatbed scanners are so common so it would be weird if there aren't any more tools of this sort around.
