General Software Discussion / Looking for a portable document and info management tool

« on: September 16, 2010, 03:07 AM »

Hi Folks,

i am still searching for an tool to collect infos and documents.

It should be fully portable.
I don't like the all-in-one-databasefile thing anymore.
I like something like Scribble Papers => one file for each side (node?), but i don't like the proprietary name scheme of ScrbblePapers (Page0000163.scp)
Instead i would prefer that "Folders" inside the app refer to an real folder at the disk (in the app data folder)
and that the nodes in the app refer to real files on the disk (in the app data folder)
And if i add files to the app data folder i like to see them in the app later too, without importing them first.
I like to insert an link to DOC or XLS to the tree of the app too, so i have entries as plain text or RTF and links to other docs which open in the related app.

In other words:
- i like to have an folder at my disk with sub-folders and files
- i like an app which show me that structure like WinEx would do.
- as far as the app can do the app should show me documents (txt and rtf?) inside the app... or open the related default app for an doc


Right now i do this in TotalCommander by using Ctrl+Q and test several outliners... but i am still at the search.

Any ideas?    Then please share, thanks.

LaunchBar Commander / Suggestion: Search option

« on: November 18, 2009, 04:08 PM »

Perhaps you also can add an search-for-an-item option?

I imaging an field to joker-search for an item from current LBC-dialog. (I don't mean the LBC config dialog)
The search should show all matching items from the dialog
and also search all sub-items
and all files from folders-items.

If it is difficult to implement this into the dialog, then this could be an button to launch an search dialog.

LaunchBar Commander / Never Show Tray Icon / run&close

« on: October 19, 2009, 07:57 AM »

Hard to search for this so i just ask:

1.)
On "Docking Bar > Miscellaneous" i need an option like " [ ] Never Show Tray Icon"

I just want to start LBC, start an tool, and close the bar which should exit LBC completely and not minimize to tray "only".
That would help too, being working on other pc with Thump-Drive, run LBC, and don't forget it is still running while going home.

2.)
I could even use an feature like run-and-close: start an tool while trigger key (Ctrl ?) is pressed and exit LBC at once.

Developer's Corner / How to open topic from CHM by keyword?

« on: December 11, 2008, 02:48 PM »

How do coders do that?

I want to launch an CHM help file ... and straight go to an designated page.

I already know the default syntax:
hh.exe mk:@MSITStore:example.chm::/%KeyWord%.htm

that's OK for me .... if i know the structure of the CHM

but how can i open each stranger CHM from which i didn't know the
correct path (TopicFolder) to the html (and is it htm or html)?

Like
hh.exe mk:@MSITStore:example.chm::/TopicFolder/TopicSubFolder/%KeyWord%.htm

How do coders of IDEs or editors do that to open several different CHMs from all the syntax-languages they use?

If i google i find the default answers only, using an well known topic-path :-(

Thanks for answers.

Hi, i just trying myself learning how to scripting Boxer
My first attempt is to make an ROT13-macro ('cus i see no such function in Bx and i want to encrypt an Reg-key)

Infos about ROT13:
http://www.senses0.o...popzees/rot/rotn.php
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ROT13

Infos bezüglich ROT13:

With PSPad i have simply an Tool "user conversion" with an text file like:
[Table]
97=110
98=111


With Bx (Boxer) i think i have to do an script?

If anyone is interested to take part in ... ('cus my lunch break is over  )

I tried the following till now (partly pseudo code)

Code: C [Select]

1. // macro description goes here
2. // modify char to value-x higher char like ROT13
3. // f.ex.  A=65ascii    >    65+13=78    >     78ascii=N    >>>  char 'A' convert to char 'N'
4. macro newmacro()
5. {
6. Const X = 13;
7. GetSelection(mySEL);
8.  
9. For Each SingleChar in mySEL
10.     isalpha(SingleChar)
11.        newchar = ToAsciiValue(SingleChar) + X
12.            newchar = ToChar(Newchar)
13.

Finished Programs / MessaBox Little MessageBox to show some info and disapear automatically

« on: July 15, 2007, 07:20 AM »

I hope this is the right forum section to provide this script?

I have improved an AHK (www.AutoHotkey.com) script
from user "icefreez" called "Simple Message, on top for a delayed time"
found at http://www.autohotke....php?p=135127#135127

I want to display an Message Box to provide some info or help to me or an user/customer.
This script show an GUI without border and (OK,Yes,No) buttons.
The time out, the font size and the font face can be choose.

I use this MsgBox with Total Commander to add menu entry without an function but provide an info to me.
Total Commander allow no empty commands so i create an own dummy command who shows an info box only.

I could use this MessaBox script to add an menu entry to show me an longer text to hint me to an trick or the right syntax of an TC command.

I could use this MessaBox in "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce" to provide an one time info to customers.

I could use this MessaBox with Task planer to remind me on something.

I could use this MessaBox in DOS batch.cmd to prompt some info.

Maybe it is helpful for others too? Here it is...

Here is the code (Open Source)

Dr.Windows / Req: command line option "Run and Quiet"

« on: July 14, 2007, 03:41 PM »

Hi Mouser,

is it possible to add an command line option please
to execute Dr.Windows one time and let it quiet after that immediately?

Like:
%SystemRoot%\DrWindows.exe /instant help.cfg

Dr.Windows should read the .CFG, show the MsgBox and disappears immediately.
There should be no TNA Icon showed in this mode.

I would use this to show me some message boxes providing help from Total Commander menu.

Thank you


----------------------

And for the ToDo-List an other idea:
Returning an error level in this mode would be handy too for an use in DOS batch.

Button: &I doubt it;1 returning error level 1
Button: &Yes, that's normal;2 returning error level 2

%SystemRoot%\DrWindows.exe /instant question.cfg
If Not Errorlevel 2 GoTo Continue
GoTo End
:Continue
~~~



---------------------------
Another idea:
An time out option would be handy too in this instand mode.

Timeout: 10 sec

Skrommel's Software / [Idee] GroupStarter

« on: July 10, 2007, 06:14 AM »

I'am on the search for an app to start several programs as an group.

Like:

Wait x sec ; Options ; Program ; Optional Parameter ; Optional start path ; Optional message box

0 ;; Total Commander.exe ; ; ; "TC started"
2 ;; AutoHotkey.exe
2 ;; Reminder.exe ; ; ; "Reminder started, look in the TNA"
1 ;; Notepad.exe ; C:\Notice.txt

After that the GroupStarter.exe should close it self.
No TrayIcon please.
No registry, INI instead.
Should work with relative paths and system vars.
"options" is for later use. Or for this "start min, max.." thing.

Did anyone know such an tool?

Screenshot Captor / "Don't Auto Save"-Feature test

« on: November 28, 2006, 10:46 AM »

Hi all,

i found some time to test the "do not automatic save the captured image" feature:

Therefor i have dl the new ALPHA v2.28.01 to be up to date.
And i have checked "On Capture | [X] Don't Auto Save Captures"

• If i take an shot and exit SC after this --- it works like expected, non pic is saved.
• But if i modify the shot... add an circle, an clip or add an drop shadow effect... and

exit SC then without saving --- then SC save the shot and the objects file in the background without asking me.

Here are my settings:
[ Invalid Attachment ]
--
Thanks mouser for the new 'Selection Mode' --- this gives the ability with the blur effect to make interesting documentation shots.

Screenshot Captor / Include cursor while takeing a region capture

« on: September 21, 2006, 03:09 AM »

Include cursor while take a region capture
BugTracker: https://www.donation...king/view.php?id=235

BugTracker Info

Problem:
If i take an "Selected region" capture
there is no Cursor included.

Suggestion:
Frezze the screen bevor start capturing.
Note: The cursor must be on the place we want it to be.
(We have to increase the delay... or use the hotkey for better handling this)
After frezzing the screen with the cursor... we can start select the region we want.

Here is an other idea:
because the *.cur cursor icons are small in size
why not include them into the SC.exe as resource
and implement an quick access menu to insert an cursor after the capture?

Here is an pic how this could look:

I don't know if this is possible with your engine

fSekrit / Brute Force hacking possible?

« on: September 07, 2006, 06:12 AM »

Hi f0dder,

1. If i enter a wrong password into fSekrit 1.1
2. i get an messagebox telling me that this password is incorrect.
3. Then i can try another one.
4. if this is wrong also i get an messagebox telling me that this password is incorrect.
5. GoTo 1.

I think someone can wrote an AutoIt script to use an text file to try common passwords, as many ppl use this.

For secure reason maybe you want add an timeout, like after 10 wrong pw's wait 30 minutes?

What think you?

fSekrit / Read only password support?

« on: September 07, 2006, 06:06 AM »

Hi f0dder,

have you think about to implement the option of having an r/o password too?

e.g.
i want to share a "CommonInfos.exe"
with passwords and telephone numbers not all should see
but some people who have the password for fSekrit.

If i now didn't want that the modify the content of my "CommonInfos.exe"
for not having different versions of that info circle around...
... it would be nice to give only an r/o password out to that people.

Maybe you came along a trick to do that... so please think about this feature than again.
