BTW, when replying using either Quick-Reply or Quote, neither appears to offer a means of attaching an image (or other file). I had to use Reply, which doesn't include quotes.  Is that by design?

You can use Quote first, then click Preview to further edit your reply and add attachments as desired.

Well, I don't use XP any longer, so no clue, but you can use NirSoft's wmi view tool to try and find another, similar, attribute that works with XP. Also check the query using Win32_PerfRawData_PerfProc_Process instead of Win32_PerfFormattedData_PerfProc_Process, maybe that does hold data?

ProcessTamer / Re: Subfunction from Process Tamer

« on: April 02, 2018, 04:07 AM »

Just to get you started, have a look at these pages:
AHK fetches stuff from WMI : Autohotkey forum
Query WMI for process attributes: Microsoft Social forum (Check the answer)

You'll have to call that repeatedly (few times per second ? ), so you'd probably best limit the 'select *' to something like 'select PercentProcessorTime from Win32_PerfFormattedData_PerfProc_Process where Name=<yourprocessname>'
('where' clause does support Name like 'firefox%' etc.)

Use NirSoft's Simple WMI View to determine the Name (or IDProcess) used by your process, and desired attributes to form a comma-separated list instead of just PercentProcessorTime (and improve response time).
NB: Using WMI from AHK through COM will perform (much) better than exporting to text file from SimpleWMIView and processing that text file...

Edit:
Use WMI Explorer (Free for non-commercial use) to test your queries.

Edit 2:
WMI Explorer with this query:

[Select]

select Name,PercentProcessorTime ,IDProcess,ElapsedTime,VirtualBytes,WorkingSet from Win32_PerfFormattedData_PerfProc_Process where Name like '%firefox%'

What about the bottom? That could have a nice/fun design for an extra treat to those who pick up the coin+Cody and take a look at the underside.

Or give it some mirrored text&image so it can be used as a stamp?

« on: March 17, 2018, 07:36 AM »

Did you read the 'crippleware' notice after 10 day of use for the free version? It'll significantly slowdown in transferspeed. But I guess it'll still be usable for your occasional use, or you could buy a license. It is quit generous that the free version keeps working, albeit a tad slower.

N.A.N.Y. 2018 / Re: NANY 2018 Release: Stick A Note (Enhancement)

« on: March 10, 2018, 03:13 AM »

Anand,
After using SaN lightly and evaluating it for a while, I have a few feature requests:

• Note window smaller than the current minimum of 200x200, 50x50 or even less would be nice (I understand you need some space for the edit, settings and X links/buttons, but shortening to a single letter and adding a tooltip would help achieve that)
• Change text size, it's no problem for me if all text is set to that size, rtf-capability would be nice and also handle the next request
• Text color changeable, like change text size, no problem for me if all text is set to that color
• Optional transparent background, so the content behind the note is, at least partially, visible, now it is often blocking important content or UI features (buttons) of websites, and after hiding it I often forget to show it again
• Configurable display-location, so it can be moved to a less-important-content corner

I hope you can realize some of this before next NANY...

TIA!

« on: February 26, 2018, 02:08 PM »

Did you receive any message during your attempts to install? It would be really informative to post any messages that are blocking your update here.

You can, as the installer suggests, disable your Antivirus and try to install the update. I've just installed it here without issues, but I'm on Avast (free) antivirus. I've fulminated on the generally poor behavior of AVG in the past, and won't repeat that here, but my best suggestion would be to switch to a different antivirus solution.

Screenshot Captor / Re: Startup win10

« on: February 18, 2018, 03:15 PM »

Personally, I suspect that to be a Win 10 FCU issue/bug. I've had trouble with several programs not autostarting, depending on the day of the week, the updates installed, the number of reboots and probably the temperature of my morning-tea. Currently all is fine, but I'm keeping my fingers crossed for after the next updates
Oh, and Screenshot Captor always starts fine, it's Skype for business (MS) and/or MS Outlook that's acting up...

Gadgets have been actively discontinued by MS because of the insecure nature of the implementation. Even in Windows 7 they are getting 'problematic' to run. (Most backend services from MS have been dismantled, even before the support of Win7 ended)

Skwire Empire / Re: Release: sWeather (tray-based weather app)

« on: February 15, 2018, 01:07 PM »

Made the temperature icon the default and made the weather condition icon optional.

-skwire (February 14, 2018, 08:28 PM)

Well, the disadvantage of this change is that the temperature icon now gets hidden if you're not showing all systray icons. The weather condition icon is now the only icon I can make visible permanently, in that configuration. I'm on Windows 10, and the temperature icon isn't available in the "Select which icons appear on the taskbar" configuration screen (just like the weather condition icon wasn't there in the previous version). Haven't tried that setting on Win7 (yet), and I don't want to show all systray icons (way too many, uninteresting icons that can't be hidden in another way, AFAIC).
Is there a way you can make the 'main' icon to use configurable, and the secondary optional? (I actually have them both enabled, but only one is visible all the time)

N.A.N.Y. 2018 / NANY 2018 Mug showoff

« on: February 09, 2018, 01:05 PM »

Today the NANY2018 mugs I ordered arrived. As usual, mouser demands we post pictures

I ordered both the standard NANY design mug and this year's new design by hamradio (that I really like). I ordered the alternate, smaller size, mugs as the regular size mugs won't fit under the coffee machine at work without partially dismantling it
This time the mugs will actually be used for coffee or tea

The photo was taken with a partial floor plan for one of the Red Cross sleeping locations at the 4 Days Walks in Nijmegen, NL.

General Software Discussion / Re: How can i get a 'Desktop ALERT' to pop up, when i have New email in Outlook Exp6

« on: February 07, 2018, 03:52 PM »

Well, that's quite important information, and would have been 'helpful' in the original post.

While I'm a bit concerned about the legal implications of that solution, I still expect it's not going to work like you want it to. What's stopping you from actually installing and using 'the real thing' MS Outlook, that is also getting security updates and bugfixes? You did pay money for that, possibly somewhat shady, other solution, could have been spent differently...

« on: February 07, 2018, 01:56 PM »

I'm pretty sure Outlook Express 6 (OE6) does not support both of that. Popup notifications and/or opening a specific or the first unread message from outside OE6.

But please explain how you got OE6 installed on Windows 7? I never could get that installed/working, way back when I switched to W7, in 2009... I seem to remember MS made inroads to make that actually/nearly impossible (AFAIR it was part of the Windows XP package, with no separate installer), just to get everyone off of OE6 and on to the (real crap) Windows Live Mail disaster.
