General Software Discussion / Good writing program for the iPad?

« on: January 08, 2013, 01:52 PM »

I looked at Textilus, Write 2 and several others. There doesn't seem to be a killer app in this category for the iPad. Does anyone have anything they *really* love? And don't say Pages. :p

I currently use Awesome Notes to write my stories, songs and poems, but it has a very limited feature set for actual heavy writing.

General Software Discussion / Small free form db/notes software

« on: November 21, 2012, 07:55 PM »

I am playing an MMO called Guild Wars 2 and I have a lot of friends there. The game only allows me a single text line to describe a person an all of their chars and the company deletes this entry every time there is an update, so I need to find an external solution.  Here are my requirements:

I need the following text fields:

Account Name
Character Name (5 or more characters per account)
Character Description - Needs to be able to handle at least 3 -4 paragraphs of text.

I need to be able to sort on the first two fields, and I need to be able to search. I don't need any more features at this point. I want something small (under 20 MB) and if possible something with an iPad or web option as well.

Any suggestions?

It's been 3 months since the last newsletter. What gives?

Screenshot Captor / Text clipped when large fonts are used

I set my windows display settings to use large fonts. Now, text is being clipped in the preferences dialog (and possibly elsewhere). Also, miscellaneous is misspelled.

Coding Snacks / Overlay Folder Icon with Exe icon

« on: January 21, 2009, 04:52 PM »

There are a slew of programs out there that will let you customize your explorer folder icons. But I can't find any program that will easily let me create the icon that I want.  What I want is program that will let me select a folder icon and then select an icon from an exe and overlay the exe icon on the folder icon.

General Software Discussion / Request: Capture text from window or control

« on: January 09, 2009, 12:53 PM »

There are plenty of commercial programs that have this feature, but it's not something I need often enough to warrant paying for.  If anyone knows of a free for commercial use tool that will work, please let me know!

Screenshot Captor / Blurry Image

« on: July 01, 2008, 07:14 PM »

I created a screenshot and then I added some arrows and text to it.  For some reason, when I saved the image, the arrows and text were blurry. 
I tried doing the same thing in Snagit and the output wasn't blurry.

Also, I couldn't figure out how to resize the canvas (so I could add the text outside of the screenshot), so I pasted the screenshot into Paint and then opened that in Screenshot Captor.

LaunchBar Commander / Announcement mailing list?

« on: October 19, 2006, 12:59 AM »

It would be nice if there was an announcement mailing list, so I could be notified of new versions.  I currently (for the past 8+ years) use PowerPro, but it has such a hideous scripting language, that I would welcome a contender.
