Screenshot Captor / Re: May be a bug?

« on: October 23, 2021, 11:02 AM »

Is that application written in Delphi, by any chance? Especially when using older Delphi versions, applications can behave quite strangely on window 'visibility' to other applications.

Screenshot captor does it's ultimate best to try and scroll a target window with any means it has available, but still it doesn't succeed in all situations. Then indeed the Manual method is the solution. It just depends on the way that application is built.

Screenshot Captor / Re: shortcut keys not working

« on: June 13, 2021, 06:13 AM »

The first question was the other way around; Is your screenshotcaptor running with administrator rights by accident? In that way it can't intercept the hotkeys from your normal windows user-session.

Is there any chance you can replace the Windows OS on your computer with a Linux distro (too many available to give an example)? Then you won't ever have this dilemma again .

By default, what you want is how it normally works.
Are you running SSC using the Run as Administrator option? (Can be set at the shortcut, manually) or use a replacemant tool for UAC (as deployed in some corporate controled computers)

I did try learning and using Autohotkey, but again not luck.

-c.gingerich (May 17, 2021, 03:31 PM)

That is not the easiest one to start with because of its somewhat cryptic syntax; I've dabbled in AutoIt3, but AHK has been a real challenge and I've never really picked that one up (even though I've done quite a few programming languages).

« on: May 17, 2021, 03:22 PM »

What programming language have you tried?
You should use the best tool for the job:
Most suitable to process would be JS (Javascript), as that's what the first 2 letters of the word JSON come from... Node.js should be the way to go for a command-line tool.
Next choice up (assuming a Windows OS) should be C#/.NET as that makes it very easy using one of the JSON libraries (NewtonSoft comes to mind)
And the runner up would probably be Java, but there are some that don't like that (for probably the wrong reasons), where also plenty of libraries are available, org.json and Google GSON are popular choices.

PublicDomainVic / Re: Limitpad - Notepad highlighting text after a configurable limit (v0.1.0)

« on: April 21, 2021, 06:29 AM »

Do not think I am too dumb to program and use my own tool for that matter.

-KodeZwerg (April 21, 2021, 12:40 AM)

Please don't get me wrong, I've not tried to suggest even anything near that, sorry if you think I did

In my humble opinion a program that limit text to a speficific character amount is made for such matter.

-KodeZwerg (April 21, 2021, 12:40 AM)

Please elaborate, as I do not see any relation between a tool to gather text to be posted in a web form (as initially requested) and a password generator.
Any decent password generator tool has a setting for the length of the password(s), so using this tool to provide a password of a specific length feels counter-intuitive.

PublicDomainVic / Re: Limitpad - Notepad highlighting text after a configurable limit (v0.1.0)

« on: April 21, 2021, 12:33 AM »

add password generator please

-KodeZwerg (April 20, 2021, 04:31 PM)

Why would you need that to write a text? There are already roughly 1 million password generators (or more), rich and poor, why try to add one where (nearly) nobody needs one?

This should be a nice, single purpose tool, please don't add bloatware to it.

General Software Discussion / Re: How to connect to GitLab using SourceTree?

« on: April 13, 2021, 01:21 PM »

Not sure what kind of tooling/IDE you use for development, but I've been very content using VSCode with the Gitlens plugin. Admittedly, I'm 'only' using it with Github (and TFS/AzureDevOps-Git at work), but Gitlab sounds no more than natural to also being supported.

When you're using the Visual Studio IDE, there is the official Gitlab extension available in the marketplace, adding full Gitlab support to VS20xx.

As a direct alternative to SourceTree, Gitkraken is, AFAICS, free for open source Github and Gitlab repo's, so that could also be an option.

And then there's the 'Classic' TortoiseGIT extension for Windows Explorer, quite similar to TortoiseHg and TortoiseSVN.

On a UHD monitor, URLister on left half of screen, browser (Edge) on right half, both stay open.  I close tabs as needed, after a number of URLs have been opened, via URLister.

-nkormanik (March 24, 2021, 08:57 PM)

Now that you have reported these kind of issues with multiple applications, I suspect there is something not up to par with your graphics card drivers or monitor setup.

Post New Requests Here / Re: [IDEA] Notepad: Highlight all text after X number of characters/words

« on: February 28, 2021, 12:19 PM »

Phrase was "meet at 9.7 ppl join"
You see, the dot seperates two sentences and is not meant as fraction seperator in that phrase.

-KodeZwerg (February 28, 2021, 10:44 AM)

That is a syntax error. After the period should either be a space or a new-line.
That's one of thre reasons I wrote:

replace all CR's and LF's with a space,

The 9.7 aint a value, its two values.

-KodeZwerg (February 28, 2021, 08:05 AM)

That is dependent on the current Locale. For US locale it is a single number (with fraction) for DE/NL it's an invalid number (thousands separator but not long enough) or two numbers.

According to the specs, defined by vevola, it's better to only use space as a separator, and not care about letters, digits or special characters.

My problem for now is 'how to make differences between real words and no words that are between spaces/quotes/point or comma terminated etc etc etc'

-KodeZwerg (February 28, 2021, 06:58 AM)

I'd replace all CR's and LF's with a space, then reduce any duplicate spaces to single space, trim leading and trailing spaces off and use one of these solutions (Depending on Delphi version used) to split the string into an array, then get the length of that array/list for the number of words.

A few questions to ask yourself:
- How is your computer connected to your router? (Some Wifi connections are really slow, wired is king!)
- Is your router (or in fact the entire chain from signal entrance into the build up to the computer) capable of handling the increased speed? (Some have a WAN port with only 100 MBit/s...) (Seems to be covered)

There are enough free software tools, already mentioned above, that don't need a Windows Pro license.

Assuming the OP hasn't responded for a couple of days, he may already have a solution in place, and just forgot to mention that here.
