Post New Requests Here / Re: Desperate app request - restore window positions after wake from sleep scrambles
« on: April 14, 2017, 09:48 AM »
Haven't tried it but here is a "AutoHotkey script that will save your window positions and then restore them to the saved position" https://github.com/KroniK907/WindowSaver

I'm assuming it has to be slightly modified to say safe window positions every X minutes - there is a wrapper for power events here https://autohotkey.c...events-like-standby/ which may proof useful if you want it fully automated. Otherwise adding a hotkey to "restore" the latest state quickly after a sleep is probably easier :)

Post New Requests Here / Re: IDEA: $$Expand PixelNotifier capabilities to monitor for multiple colors at once
« on: April 04, 2017, 02:16 PM »
The source code (=script) of the program is available as you can see here https://www.donationcoder.com/Software/Skrommel/PixelNotifier/PixelNotifier.ahk
(I have not studied the code, only glanced at it briefly)

You need AutoHotkey to run or compile the script which you can find at http://autohotkey.com/

The error message shows what would need to be added to make it work for the 10th menu? entry.

If you look at the script where it says
Code: Autohotkey [Select]
  1. TRIGGERED_9:
  2. triggered=9
  3. Goto,TRIGGERED
  4. TRIGGERED_8:
  5. triggered=8
  6. Goto,TRIGGERED
  7. TRIGGERED_7:
  8. triggered=7
  9. ; etc
what would happen (you have to try it yourself after installing AHK) if you simply add more labels

Code: Autohotkey [Select]
  1. ; start at 50
  2. TRIGGERED_50:
  3. triggered=50
  4. Goto,TRIGGERED
  5. ; all the way to 10
  6. ; ......
  7. TRIGGERED_12:
  8. triggered=12
  9. Goto,TRIGGERED
  10. TRIGGERED_11:
  11. triggered=11
  12. Goto,TRIGGERED
  13. TRIGGERED_10:
  14. triggered=10
  15. Goto,TRIGGERED
  16. TRIGGERED_9:
  17. triggered=9
  18. Goto,TRIGGERED
  19. TRIGGERED_8:
  20. triggered=8
  21. Goto,TRIGGERED
  22. TRIGGERED_7:
  23. triggered=7
  24. ; etc

and do the same where you find the "TOGGLE_9:" line just add TOGGLE_50 .... TOGGLE_10 above it.

Post New Requests Here / Re: Extracting paragraphs from a word file (doc, rtf, docx)
« on: March 25, 2017, 08:23 AM »
I haven't read it to closely but, just a suggestion: convert the RTF to a text file first from there it is pretty easy I'd say. Text = good :)

Suggestions:

1. use a rtf to txt cmdline tool (many available including pandoc or search for rtf2txt you'll find quite a few)

2. or read the rtf file into the clipboard (in AHK I'd use the WinClip library) and then read the plain text format from memory (so you again have  "text" to work with.

Post New Requests Here / Re: T h i s i s a v e r y s h o r t s c r i p t - This is a very short script
« on: March 14, 2017, 05:24 PM »
If there are no double spaces for a space between words (as noted above) it probably can still be done in a "best guess" style (meaning it has to be fixed manually afterwards)

- Take a say 100K Word list (most common words in English or whatever language, these lists are available on many locations)
- Sort that by length (longest word at the top)
- Do a find/replace starting with longest word "v e r y l o n g w o r d" -> "verylongword" so it processes: tissues, issues, issue, sues, sue, is for example.
- Now you should end up with a reasonably looking sentence with some words still incorrectly jumbled, but most likely not too bad.

Worth trying (its only a few lines of code, the sorting code in AHK was already posted, do that on a Word list and a simple parsing loop should do it.

That's unlikely, TED Notepad supports very long lines (over 1 million characters), and isn't fooled by wrapped lines either.

-Ath (February 20, 2017, 01:48 AM)

Perhaps very long lines and wrapped text cause it to fail?

Where have I to put the name of my txt file in the script ?
-Contro (February 19, 2017, 02:18 PM)
The first line says
Code: Autohotkey [Select]
  1. FileRead, text, %A_ScriptFullPath%
replace it with
Code: Autohotkey [Select]
  1. FileRead, text, pathtoyour\file.txt
Assuming you want to save it replace MsgBox %text% with
Code: Autohotkey [Select]
  1. FileDelete, pathtoyour\sortedfile.txt
  2. FileAppend, %text%, pathtoyour\sortedfile.txt

Perhaps not the thread to discuss this but I don't feel I'm worrying unduly. I've spent way too much time (many hours) fixing & cleaning up other peoples computers (sometimes complete re-install of OS). Not everyone pays attention or knows what they are doing I'm afraid. I don't agree PUPs aren't scary, I think they are plenty of nasty PUPs out there (bitcoin mining, browser tracking and redirecting etc, some are difficult to remove).

In FFS case the dev. is playing games to make things difficult to bypass (there is a lengthy thread on the www.portablefreeware.com forum about the cat & mouse games on how to bypass the installer and avoid installing it with a pup).

I'm happy to have spent money on a professional program with professional support.

Anyway, some general background links for those interested (some older info at times):

The question you have to ask yourself, do you really want to run any risk with such a potentially critical program (your backups and data privacy) by using a program that might install additional software if you don't pay careful attention?

It used to be quite easy with this program as you could unpack the installer and simply copy the program itself without running the risk of accidentally installing something else. That is now no longer so easy (or has become complicated). So I stopped using it a year ago and no longer recommend it to friends.

I now bought a backup program for piece of mind and support.

« on: August 22, 2016, 12:01 PM »
I'm not familiar with MOVEOUT but a quick look at it reminds me of Belvedere - https://github.com/adampash/belvedere
Also written in AutoHotkey.

Belvedere: Keep your desktop or any other folder on your hard drive organized and under control with Belvedere, an automated Windows file management tool. Use Belvedere's friendly interface to create advanced rules to move, copy, delete, rename, or open files based on their name, extension, size, creation date, and more.

Post New Requests Here / Re: Replace text months to digital months
« on: August 03, 2016, 04:46 PM »
@dcwul62 if you want to write your own solution using a batch file you could try GREN. I've used it for many years and found it to be very useful (but now use AHK for nearly everything) "GREN is an extremely powerful command-line renaming utility which understand Perl's regular expressions". It still works on Win 8 so might be worth a shot. A 12-24 line batch file (one for each month) still gets the job done :-)

"Official" Geocities website long gone of course but you can still find it online and download GREN.ZIP

Good tip from IainB there - I do this myself as well, makes it easy to sort :-)

If the above script works for you can call it in your file manager with some parameters. In Total Commander (TC) you can pass on the current folder, selected files etc. That way you can only process the folder or files you have selected - it (TC) can also ask you to input or confirm some data about the selected files or folder. I don't know if DO can do this as well.

But it would be fairly easy to modify the posted script so it asks you to:
- select a folder
- enter a file mask

You can also compile such a script so you have an EXE so you can use it everywhere without the need for AutoHotkey to be installed.

I would suggest you try the script as it is first and install AutoHotkey (or use the portable installer - but installing makes your life easier as you can just double click to start the script or right click run and right click compile for example)

I don't know if you are using AutoHotkey - https://autohotkey.com/ - but if you do and/or are willing you can try this script, you only need to set your work folder at the top of the script (here c:\testing) and the run the script, it should also create a log file so you can see what has been done. ALWAYS BACKUP your data before you start testing it.

Code: Autohotkey [Select]
  1. ; set working folder here
  2. Folder:="c:\testing"
  3.  
  4. ; build filelist
  5. Loop, %folder%\*.xlsx
  6.         filelist .= A_LoopFileName "`n"
  7.  
  8. logfile:=folder "\" A_Now ".txt"
  9.  
  10. Months:=["Jan[a-z]+","Feb[a-z]+","Ma[ar][a-z]+"
  11.         , "Apr[a-z]+","May|Mei","Jun[ie]", "Jul[iy]"
  12.         , "Aug[a-z]+", "Sep[a-z]+", "O[ck]t[a-z]+"
  13.         , "Nov[a-z]+", "Dec[a-z]+" ]
  14.  
  15. loop, parse, filelist, `n, `r
  16.         {
  17.          in:=A_LoopField
  18.          for k, v in Months
  19.                 {
  20.                  out:=RegExReplace(in,"i)-?\s*(\d{1,2})\s*(" v ")\s*"," $1-" SubStr("0" k,-1) "-")
  21.                  if (out <> in)
  22.                         {
  23.                          FileMove, %folder%\%in%,  %folder%\%out%
  24.                          FileAppend, %in% -> %out%`n, %logfile%
  25.                          Counter++
  26.                         }

  • New: Command line parameters -Ini: load specific settings file (ini) 
  • New: Multi-caret implemented for certain text editors (see DOC) 
  • New: Random plugin, return random value or entry from a list (also added to Choice)
  • New: Calendar and DateTime now accept Locale Identifiers (LCID) parameter 
  • Change: Snippet, Bundle, Counter and Local variable editors are now all visible on the taskbar as a child window of a disabled Lintalist Search GUI (if present) this makes it easer to switch from/to the appropriate editor using alt-tab and mouse 
  • Added: Choice plugin GUI now has "Endless scrolling in a listbox" similar to Search GUI listview + Added a Random option
  • Fix: Cancelling a snippet with Choice plugin no longer makes Shorthand stop working 
  • Fix: After using quick search with one result e.g. automatic pasting of the only snippet, pressing space or tab executed the snippet again. Cleared the typing history after each paste fixed it.
  • Fix: Pause shortcut could cause error, added #IfWinNotActive ahk_group

Upgrading:

  • If you are upgrading to this new release, you can use the tray menu option "Check for updates" and have it done automatically.

A new beta is available (v1.8) - apart from some bug fixes and minor changes, the new features are:

  • New Command line parameter -Ini: load specific settings file (ini)
  • Calendar and DateTime plugins now accept Locale Identifiers (LCID) parameter
  • Multi-caret implemented for certain text editors, see docs/MultiCaret.md

If you paste a snippet into an editor which supports Multi-caret/edit you can now use those in Lintalist snippets by placing multiple caret locations in your snippet. Supported editors: Atom, Brackets, EverEdit, Sublime Text, TextAdept, UltraEdit 23+ but if you know of other editors that could be added let me know. Details in docs/MultiCaret.md after unpacking the zip download. The Editor needs to have a keyboard shortcut for "select word" AND "select next occurrence". If you can only use the mouse to do this, you won't be able to use this with feature of Lintalist snippets (Notepad++ and RJ TextEd for example won't work as you need to use the mouse)

Suggestions and feedback welcome...

@f0dder thanks for the tip. I've actually done it on purpose. I use the drive for daily offsite backup (to take home) - as it is easy to loose I thought it adds a bit of additional security. If someone finds it, plugs it in, they might just think "OK then lets format it" :-) You can also disable Windows asking for it if you plug it in. Go to drive management and remove the drive letter - next time you plug it in it will no longer ask if you want to format it (works just for that specific usb device).

Nice App.

I have a USB 3 flash drive, formatted as a truecrypt volume/partition. If you connect it Windows thinks it is an unformatted drive, Diskovery will identity the brand and size correctly at that stage. If I mount the volume, Windows will see a new drive, say K: but refresh or restarting Diskovery it won't show up as Logical volume. Is that intended or correct behavior or should K be listed as Logical drive? (I tried it  Windows 7 and 8.1).
