General Software Discussion / Re: making a single .jpg from a web-page that is over one screen long
« on: June 15, 2018, 01:09 AM »
What I read from the OP is that not the smallest file is the issue, but the fact that vBulletin displays the jpg's larger then png's. And in the end that's just a setting/style fix on the vBulletin side...

From that startingpoint, the discussion on jpg vs. png, it comes down to the actual use, seeing that jpg is crap on fine details, but quite alright on photos, where png is very good in fine details, but also good in photos, with the side note that those png-photo files seem to be a tad larger than their jpg counterparts.

With you being a DC veteran, I'm a bit disappointedsurprised you haven't tried Screenshot Captor yet... (as already suggested above) :huh:

Screenshot Captor / Re: Rectangular caprture not working on main screen
« on: June 07, 2018, 01:05 AM »
Is another application catching the Shift PrSc hotkey, effectively disabling ScreenShot Captor?
DropBox/OneDrive (don't recall exactly which one, maybe both) seem to do that, but can usually be fixed by configuring them not to capture screenshots.

I'm using the BBCode here and it doesn't seem to work in that
-Dormouse (May 27, 2018, 04:27 AM)
Actually, after searching the BBCeditor BBC Parser, BBCeditor does insert an   if a 'th' or 'td' element of the table is empty, but it seems that is a feature of BBCeditor, not of BBCode generators in general. That could be an omission in the implementation. Or at least in the specification, as nothing is said in the references I could find (BBCodew and bbcode.org)

-Dormouse (May 27, 2018, 04:27 AM)
Well, unfortunately the worst part is that BBC tables don't support that by default, unless a BBC tag is added to the generator, elsewhere suggested tag: space /space (without the square brackets here, or the tag will be removed by the forum), to insert the   into the html :(

They'll all go when I finish because the cells will be filled.
-Dormouse (May 27, 2018, 04:51 AM)
Ok, but I guess we'll have to ask mouser to improve the BBC code generator, tables will often have empty cells, and painting them white just looks awful.

Tech tip: When crafting (html) tables, getting empty cells to show properly, the standard way of 'filling' them is to use   (non-breaking space) as the content, instead of the, imho rather ugly and disruptive, dot/period.

It's not even decent as a law.
-wraith808 (May 24, 2018, 10:05 PM)
It has been the law for 2 years already, it's just that it is to be enforced as per today, but most countries don't have enough government workforce available to check, let alone enforce, it properly...

Screenshot Captor / Re: Slow capture
« on: May 24, 2018, 01:11 AM »
...no idea what could be the reason
-andi_sbg (May 23, 2018, 11:45 AM)
Please provide some more technical details about your computer, like OS-version, Graphics adapter(s) model and make, driver versions, number of monitors and monitor resolution in use and Windows scaling factor (100%, 125%), etc., to aid in finding the cause of this issue.

@mouser, you could provide a debug release (by default) for the few people that are having troubles like these to generate debug logs, or maybe even have a parameter that enables logging like that...

General Software Discussion / Re: Compare folders with identical files, but .. different file names
« on: May 19, 2018, 08:59 AM »
I've done smth similar, many moons ago, and then found a PowerShell script that found me duplicates based on the hash, so finding non-dulicates seems trivial after that ;D
Didn't find the script I used back then, but this link should be what you want to find, IMHO.

Tried installing WriteWayPro on Windows 10 1803, and although installation seemed to go well, 2 ocx files where not registered correctly (most likely caused by the 'old' installer used), so WriteWayPro wouldn't start.
I fixed this following these steps:
  • Open a Command prompt in 'Run as Administrator' mode
  • change to the SysWOW64 directory: CD ..\SysWOW64
  • register the 2 components by entering these commands:
[Select]
regsvr32 Codejock.Controls.v13.4.0.ocx
regsvr32 MSCHRT20.OCX
  • Close the command prompt: exit
  • WriteWayPro should now should start as expected :)

Edit:
After the above exercise I tried to register the product to have the free Pro version, but that has been unsuccessful so far, stating the error message "Unable to connect to the WriteWay website, please try later.". I suspect that another ocx isn't correctly registered, or not working as expected on Win10 (1803), but it cal also be due to a website issue. (I (re)registered all ocx's in the SysWOW64 directory using regsvr32 but still no cigar)
After reading the "WriteWay FAQs and Issues Support document", it seems that the Compatibility mode needs to be set to XP mode, and Run as Administrator, but that also hasn't solved this issue yet.
The registration page in the screenshot on the site looks different from what I'm seeing (mine doesn't have the First Name/Last Name fields, but I used the code shown there), so there may be a different cause altogether. I'll just wait and see what happens until after it expires...
If all else fails I'll e-mail 'm for support.

On a related note: The YouTube showcase and instruction videos (including the WriteWayPro page) also seem to have vanished, only alternative videos can be found.

Guess this are the side-effects of using a no longer actively supported product...

Edit 2:
After installing WriteWayPro in a virtual WinXP SP3 instance, the installation issues didn't appear there, but the application registration issue persists, so that's most likely a website related issue.

Mouser's Zone / Re: Extract ascii
« on: May 09, 2018, 02:05 PM »
Well, the simplest regex to extract textual content as 'words' from (binary) files would be: \w+
If you only want alphanumeric characters (no accent- or punctuation- characters), that could be something like [a-zA-Z0-9]+

A great site to learn about and try out Regular Expressions has been https://regex101.com for me, with an extended explanation of what's going on with the regex you're trying, and an index of all expression elements available.

N.A.N.Y. 2019 / Re: RegexCaptor - Simple app to extract email addresses or other patterns from text
« on: May 06, 2018, 04:04 AM »
A useful feature could be to apply some automatic formatting to the results list, maybe similar to regex replace, where you can re-use the found result to create complete new texts:
Template:
Code: Text [Select]
  1. <mailout name="\1" type="mailto">mailto://\1</mailout>
Resultlist:
Code: Text [Select]
  1. <mailout name="[email protected]" type="mailto">mailto://[email protected]</mailout>
  2. <mailout name="[email protected]" type="mailto">mailto://[email protected]</mailout>

(OT: The code=xml or code=html forum tags don't seem to work as intended, reverting to 'text' for now)

Living Room / Re: Looking for smartphone
« on: May 06, 2018, 02:45 AM »
Well, I went to a large electronics store yesterday to buy a new phone for my mother as a birthday gift for her 80th birthday later this month, and (also) held that Nokia 6.1 in my hand for a minute, but it's rather huge compared to my Nexus 5  :tellme:
Most reviewers seem to highly regard the cameras of the 6.1, but that's hardly a criterium for me as I only use it for snapshots.
We bought a Motorola X4 for mother, that is a (little) bit less huge :D, but is lacking a notification-led. It's been on my wishlist for some time, but it fell off for this reason, for the rest it's a very good phone.

« on: May 05, 2018, 05:28 AM »
Sounds like a useful tool, much more convenient than extracting stuff using notepad++ :Thmbsup:

The goals are similar to CodeByters Linebyter which I have used in the past but whose source code was lost.

Living Room / Re: Looking for smartphone
« on: May 03, 2018, 06:32 AM »
If you are aiming for a Nokia, I'd opt for the Nokia 6 (~ €200,-) or Nokia 6.1 (aka Nokia 6 2018) (~ €300,0), that have a much better processor (Qualcomm 6xx instead of 4xx) and screen (1920x1080 instead of 1280x720), as well as a better camera (back: 16 mp instead of 13 mp, front: 8 mp), and also, the Nokia 5 is lacking a notification-led, for some reason (just like the Motorola G5/s/plus series), AFAICS.
I also do like that the Nokia 6.1 comes with Android One, ensuring often and soon updates by Google, but that should also be the case for the Nokia 5 as it has stock-Android.

OT: I'm leaning toward the Nokia 6.1 64 GB to replace my aging Nexus 5, I just haven't ordered it as my supplier doesn't provide a book-case cover, yet...

Post New Requests Here / Re: Launchbar Commander Menu - Make Right Click require a password before continuing
« on: April 30, 2018, 12:40 PM »
Well, as I said in the other thread, I'm 'leaving the floor for mouser to come with a solution' (iow, won't touch it with a pole...), but somebody seems to expect that to happen within a week. And, IMHO, it's not even feasible to stop them from opening/messing with the settings if you can still edit the ini file with a plain editor from Explorer..., or at least that's the next 'workaround' I expect users to take if the settings pane is blocked :-\

LaunchBar Commander / Re: Password for Launchbar Commander Preferences / Options

Anyone interested in attempting a code snack on this topic?  :tellme:
-kimbriki (April 24, 2018, 02:07 AM)

You could probably post a request in the coding snacks area, and see if anyone bites.  They might not see it here.
-wraith808 (April 24, 2018, 03:35 PM)

Well, I thought about it and decided to a) leave some room for mouser to come up with a solution as suggested by the OP (though that may take a little time) and b) it should be handled at the root of the 'problem', not trying to 'solve' it by symptom suppression.

As a short-term alternative, you could set the ini file to read-only... though that would probably result in errormessages when someone tries to change settings :huh:

Screenshot Captor / Re: Scroll capture - Errors and Home button
« on: April 16, 2018, 12:53 PM »
A 32 bit application, like Screenshot Captor, can allocate a max of about 1.5GB memory, so setting it to 12GB isn't probably gonna help much...
(unless, ofcourse, mouser added memory handling for > 2GB per process)

AFAIK, that's only applicable for @gmail.* and gmail provided (undetectable as they can have any domain name, I presume) e-mail addresses, and not for 'regular' e-mail providers :huh:, unless you know of other e-mail providers that follow the same policy/structure?
