N.A.N.Y. 2011 / Re: NANY 2011 Teaser: JottiQ
« on: December 27, 2010, 04:50 PM »
Just tested JottiQ 0.9.5 on Vista 32 bit.
Guess Vista doesn't like the shell extension, because it's not showing in the context menu of Explorer, or at least not for the files I tried it with. I'll do an uninstall/reinstall to see if I accidentally unchecked that option. [...] And that didn't help a bit, neither when checking the 'Explorer Integration affects All Users' option, so that might need a fix. Vista's UAC is turned off, btw.
This worked fine on 2 of my Win7 x64 setups, one with UAC in it's default setting and one with UAC turned off.

See, it isn't that hard :D

I'm not sure if putting the version number in the shortcut would be that handy, you would have to clean that up with every upgrade you publish (deleting the .lnk file of that name using [InstallDelete]), but also cater for in your script in any future release, might someone skip/miss one of your in-between updates.

That's a HUGE improvement and very clever; the ones that kill me are the ones that have to "dock" to recharge, and so can't be used at all while recharging.
That was one of the reasons for me to add a wired mouse placed on the 'other' side of my keyboard, and training myself into using it with the hand/arm on that side as well. It took a few weeks, but I now can use a computer even if my 'good' arm would be disabled/unavailable for a while.
Another reason was the avoidance of RSI by switching arm-usage.

worstje, to fix number 2 on your Known Issues list, have a look at AppMutex in the fine Inno Setup helpfile. There's also the CheckForMutexes support function, might you want to check it from some Code.
And here is a way to create it in C# (for if you didn't know).

(Edit: had a fight with the Code bbtag)

kryathaba, you could (re)start with a fresh script generated from the wizard, that gives you all this stuff by default...
Then add the extra files you need to add, and don't be shy to use an editor like InnoIDE or ISTool (that one is going off-line right about now) to aid in the setting of 'fancy' features like icons etc.
And don't forget to add the .ico files in the [Files] section.

As said earlier, the newsgroups are quite helpful, but we expect you to have done at least a little homework...

A white-list of applications to enable this feature on would be quite helpful, as like you already noted, the mousepointer only hinders sight in some and not all applications, and it could automagically enable when needed.

General Software Discussion / Re: Any better Clipboard program.
« on: December 27, 2010, 11:08 AM »
You could have just changed the shortcut the setup created to run the jar file from java, just like the installer (java -jar acm.jar, instead of acm.jar). The author falsely assumed you have java installed (you must have) and set to run your jar files (a false asspumption, as is any), instead of a decompressor (a jarfile has the same internal technical structure as a zipfile).

Well, here from the CET timezone, the same 5 to 12 sec posting-delays also occur. Also working with FF, and haven't tried Chrome, IE, Opera, or Safari (yet) as I don't expect differences if it's server-related.

3535
Just read an article review on Soluto, so you could automate that, to be found at www.soluto.com, it tries to give advice on what to get rid of and what to keep, based on a similar list and on what others decided. But you can't yet go blindly with it's advice ofcourse...

3536
They must have a really small house if this is needed to be removed to clear space :D

I'd just keep it for old times sake, and try to use it for anything, it's so darned old you will be hard pressed to find the proper material for it to make pictures onto, and then a service to get them developed. A (cheap) digital camera (~us$100,-) will probably be cheaper after about 5 or 10 full rolls of pictures, and give much better foto quality and ease of use (delete bad/fuzzed up pictures), and the printing cost will be lower or equal.

Usually such jar file should be run from a commandline using
java -jar ACM-4.1.1-Setup.jar

It's great :Thmbsup:
One (big, in size) feature request would be to be able to sequentially output the records to print in some form, so I could enter my christmas card addresses into SnapDB and print them nicely (for next years cards ofcourse)

@kyrathaba You should really sign up to the news server on jrsoftware.org, it is so helpful if you have questions after reading the fine manual, which you seem to have missed, reading all these n00b questions here...

N.A.N.Y. 2011 / Re: NANY 2011 Release: UpdateVersion
« on: December 02, 2010, 03:50 PM »
ISPP can handle quite some stuff, but as I said, you have to press it a little (meaning it's not really easy)
It can update external files, but afaics, it doesn't handle s&r based on regex's, but a simple s&r it should be capable of. And looking at the help, it seems it can only write in ini format files...
And then there's the occasional Exec(), ofcourse, so some external tool can come in handy ;)

« on: December 02, 2010, 02:41 PM »
Hm, though this is useful, you do know that Inno Setup with the ISPP preprocessor (comes standard with the Quick Setup Pack) does have fabulous support for pre-compile scripting/processing, amongst which is version extraction from exe/dll version resources, and even from textfiles when pressed? I'd not pursue in this direction further as it's 'already there'...
Examples and much more is available from the news groups at the jrsoftware.org site.

Inno Setup is ofcourse the best choice you can make for a free installer tool :Thmbsup:

3543
Hm, I don't need to know how long I was away... I'd be more interested to see how long it is going to take before the screensaver is actually going to be started, after leaving my system idle, but still sitting at my desk. But I guess that's another utility ;)

3544
I'm still not sure about folding the thing over the back and using it like a spiral notebook. How do you keep the screen that would then be on the backside from getting scratched up?

Same rules as a dead tree edition I guess ... Be careful where you set it down so you don't get goo on the pages.
Do you mean to say that the back-screen doesn't blank & auto-revert like some car-audio stuff does when it is turned off??? :o :o :D

Clipboard Help+Spell / Re: Clipboard Help and Spell
« on: June 11, 2010, 06:43 AM »
I'd expect it an issue with the AV, most users just use the Run option when downloading, and the way the self-extracting zip is handled is probably not to the liking of that AV package.
Your suggestion of putting it in another location is most likely going to fix it.

'Real' troubles concerning false positives with Inno Setup installers are usually solved within hours or days after a report to the AV vendor, when they push their next update...

Finally an e-reader with a large enough screen for us 45+ trying to avoid bi-focal glasses :Thmbsup:

And whatever you buy: Let it be of good quality, as cheap is going to shoot you in the foot somewhere along the road (or when on the road)

I repeat (haha) the "off/on" toggle option is a great idea for those wanting "sudden privacy" or a goof like me doing long hours of programming and needs to go do *other* things for some minutes and allow processing to continue. In this line of thinking perhaps it would be best to have a password along with the "off"?

Isn't that what {win}+L combined with the Empty screensaver is for?

General Software Discussion / Re: XML editor
« on: May 08, 2010, 08:27 AM »
Despite all the structured views of the XML managers (editors seems a little too less description) named here, I'm not going to switch from my favorite for handling XML: Notepad++ (aka NPP). None of them handles XML much easier then just like plain text, and the default color settings are sometimes even worst than plain b/w.
NPP handles XML just so nicely, by offering the entire file in the editor window, with all/current nodes (un)collapsible with simple keystrokes, a readable color coding default setting, and what not. And because I use it a lot when handling any text-like files, it is installed on most of my development and test systems, so I usually have it around when I need it :)

Living Room / Re: Should I swtich from w7 32 bit to w7 64 bit?
« on: April 11, 2010, 07:47 AM »
Been on Vista x64 since November 2007. Just because I bought the Dell system with it, and one of the intentions was to run VMWare on it with several VM's in parallel. Now it's just a pity that there's only 4 GB of RAM in it, in 1 GB modules, and replacing that is rather expensive, as there are no vacant dimm slots.
Mots troubles back then where hardware drivers and AV issues. There was no proper x64 version of what AV package available. Luckily that all changed big time over the last 2 years.
Switched to Windows 7 x64 last September. Now only wait for my PC to get replaced, by the end of this year, so I can have more RAM (I'm aiming for 16 GB 8)) to finally run more than 3 VM's (2003/2008 server) next to each other, and actually use them/put to work at the same time.

All my new/re-installed PC's (at home as well) get treated with x64 Windows 7 these days, as I haven't found any current software that won't work on 64 bit Windows yet. (The earlier troubles are long gone). And the use of extra memory is a nice benefit for most software.
Sometimes older hardware, like Canon & HP printers and Canon scanners, need to be hooked up directly to get the proper drivers from Windows Update, but after that they can be easily connected through the network.
