Easy Screencast Recorder / ESR: Do NOT stay on top.

« on: April 15, 2015, 07:53 AM »

Hi Mouser,


I find it irritating that the main dialog always stays on top while not recording. (and I do other things, before next recording)


I think I would like a new option like

Options > Tweaks > [_] Main dialog should stay on top.


Please consider, if you have some time for that very non-important wish.



thx

Easy Screencast Recorder / ESR: Hotkeys box is too small

« on: April 15, 2015, 07:49 AM »

Greetings Mouser,

The Options > General > Hotkeys box

is too small for German

"STRG + UMSCHALT + F9"

I only see
"STRG + UMSCHALT + |"


Would you please adjust the width a little  bit? Thank you.

What paulina didn't had done, maybe didn't could, did Curt: set a link to that tool so g00gle will increase the reputation of that site.

I see that advertisement for that tool all over the inet. Seems to be a bad tool, if it needs that guerilla marketing by pseudo user comments.

General Software Discussion / Re: from excel to a folder structure

« on: March 19, 2015, 07:02 AM »

In the help.

Launch Excel > choose > "Developer > Visual Basic" > Press F1 > Choose "Visual Basic for Applications Language Reference"

Also search there for "Filesystem".

- - -

But I would rather use G00gle to find some help in special Excel/Script forum.
"excel vba get cell value"
"excel vba create folder"


Examples:

- in Excel Visual Basic, insert a Module

- in Module1 insert:
Sub Macro1()
    myVariable = Range("A1").Value
    MsgBox myVariable
End Sub

- in excel, write something in cell A1 and execute this macro.




- next add FSO function:
- edit Macro1() to:
Sub Macro1()
    myVariable = Range("A1").Value
    MsgBox myVariable
   
    Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
    fso.CreateFolder "C:\Temp\" + myVariable
    MsgBox "Folder created: C:\Temp\" + myVariable
End Sub


- in excel, write something in cell A1 and execute this macro to create that folder.


Of course you have to add many more code, also for error handling, e.g. if path is valid, or if folder not already exist.

Sub Macro1()
    myVariable = Range("A1").Value
    MsgBox myVariable
    myFolder = "C:\Temp\" + myVariable
    Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
    If (fso.folderExists(myFolder)) Then
        MsgBox "Folder already exist: " + myFolder
    Else
        fso.CreateFolder myFolder
        MsgBox "Folder created: " + myFolder
    End If
End Sub


- - -

The other way around would be to use Visual Basic Script or PowerShell
to access the Excel Object, get the cell value, and invoke FSO to create the folder.

General Software Discussion / Re: Batch find/replace multiple strings in a single text file

« on: March 19, 2015, 02:21 AM »

Such multiple replacements can be done also on console or via a script
by utilizing PowerShell, which is already there on each Win7/Win8 PC.

Examples:

$Origin = Get-Content .\test.txt

$LineWrap = $Origin -replace "(.{72}\b )", "`$1`r`n"

$Replacement = $LineWrap -replace "code\b", "program"

Set-Content .\test-new.txt -value $Replacement

General Software Discussion / Re: from excel to a folder structure

« on: March 18, 2015, 06:54 AM »

Such can be done with Office VBA, if you happen to code in Visual Basic (Script)....

There are Excel commands in VBA to iterate over cells,
and there are "standard" VBA/VBS commands to create folders and files via FSO (FileSystem Object)

Easy Screencast Recorder / Re: LATEST VERSION INFO THREAD - Easy Screencast Recorder - v1.12.01 - Apr 22, 2015

« on: March 18, 2015, 01:51 AM »

Thanks for the update.
Please take your time, I am not in a hurry. ESR works already very well.


- - -

Another idea from my work experiences:
- press a key while recording ==>  ESR stores the current timestamp (and let me enter a short notice, like "start driver installation")
- later I want to jump to that bookmark from a kind of bookmark list

Perhaps that is from interest for you. But I can understand also if you want to keep it simple and drop this idea.

One thing you might try is copying a video into your Screenshot Captor screenshot directory -- it should be able to open it and let you easily save frames, etc.

-mouser (March 12, 2015, 03:19 PM)

Thanks for answer.

IOW, you are not interested right now to add something like MiniCaps' "-capturehwnd", "-capturepid", "-captureappbyname" to ESR?


Just want to know I do not have to wait for it

« on: March 12, 2015, 03:15 PM »

I love ESR          ...used it today again to capture a remote session and watch afterwards what happened 

Feature wish:

- Right now I select a window  to capture it.
- But if I drag the window to monitor 2,
  or if I put another window in front of my window I want to record,
  I do record the wrong window and the wrong things.

So is it possible to let ESR record (optional of course) ONLY and ALWAYS the first selected window?
No matter what is in front, or where that selected window will be put on the screen?

I guess something like MiniCaps' "-capturehwnd", "-capturepid", "-captureappbyname" I have in mind.

- - -

2.) Please add an shortcut for invoking "Save current frame" without asking where to save (save in folder of video instead)
Something easy, like just "S" key for "Save" or "F" for "Frame".

I want to rapidly press a key to save a frame after the other while the video is run.



Thanks for reading.

General Software Discussion / Re: Diffference between Switces and Parameters in Batch file?

Thanks, but that would be a bit too complex for my explanation to hulkbuster.

General Software Discussion / Re: Diffference between Switces and Parameters in Batch file?

« on: January 30, 2015, 09:33 AM »

Hi folks, i want to understand some differences between Switches and Parameters.

-hulkbuster (January 29, 2015, 11:50 AM)

Switch = they ask the program or script to disable/enable something; on or off; yes/no. (e.g.: 'dir /AD' or 'dir /A-D')
Parameter = provide some information to the program or script. (e.g.: 'dir C:\Temp')
Arguments = the program or script takes an Switch or an Paramter as Argument to controll what it should do and how.


Me think,
- switch is a special kind of an parameter.
- parameter are what I call an application with to act as I want.
- arguments are what an application use to know what to do for me, provided by me as parameter.
?

I found one site that explains Parameters:Command line parameters

Batch files can only handle parameters %0 to %9

%0 is the program name as it was called,
%1 is the first command line parameter,
%2 is the second command line parameter,
and so on till %9.

What do i understand about %0, and %1 till %9. How does it can be applied in batch file.

Any suggestion from experts would be greatful.

Examples:

Batch file "Test1.cmd"
@ECHO OFF
ECHO Hello %1

Call as: test1 hulkbuster has a question

Hello hulkbuster

Call as: test1 "hulkbuster has a question"

Hello "hulkbuster has a question"

-

Batch file "Test2.cmd"
@ECHO OFF
ECHO Hello %~1

Call as: test2 "hulkbuster has a question"

Hello hulkbuster has a question

- - -

Batch file "ParameterPresenter2.cmd"
@ECHO OFF
ECHO.
ECHO 1:_%1_
ECHO 2:_%2_
ECHO 3:_%3_
ECHO 4:_%4_
ECHO 5:_%5_
ECHO 6:_%6_
ECHO 7:_%7_
ECHO 8:_%8_
ECHO 9:_%9_

Call as: ParameterPresenter "Hi folks," i want to "understand some" differences.

1:_"Hi folks,"_
2:_i_
3:_want_
4:_to_
5:_"understand some"_
6:_differences._
7:__
8:__
9:__

- - -


If I want to provide a Switch to my batch, like "Test3.cmd /?",
I would have to parse the arguments for '/?' and in case I found it,
switch in my code to the corresponding place:
Pseudo demo code
For ARG in AllArgs
   If ARG == "/?" Then GoTo _displayHelpMessage()
Next ARG


HTH?

Finished Programs / Re: DONE: Please help me find that utility - "Something" To TXT ?

« on: September 04, 2014, 07:03 AM »

 

"ThisIsMyFile.mp3 > ThisIsMyFile.txt"



How-to

- create a plain text file with name "ContextmenuCreateTXTFile.cmd"
- add: IF NOT EXIST "%~n1.txt" Null > "%~n1.txt"


- Below the "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\*\shell\" subkey
- create a new subkey "Create TXT File from selected file" (the name of the context menu entry)
- create beneath a another subkey "command"
- and there change the (Default) REG_SZ and add the value "full\path\to\ContextmenuCreateTXTFile.cmd" "%1"


So you should get now:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\*\shell\Create TXT File from selected file\command
(Default)   "full\path\to\ContextmenuCreateTXTFile.cmd" "%1"

OR for Folders:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\Directory\Shell\Create TXT File from selected name\command\
(Default)   "full\path\to\ContextmenuCreateTXTFile.cmd" "%1"



Now right click any file, choose "Create TXT File", and you are done.


Works?  


- - -


You can also do

"ThisIsMyFile.mp3 > ThisIsMyFile.mp3.txt"
IF NOT EXIST "%1.txt" Null > "%1.txt"


or even

"ThisIsMyFile.mp3 > ThisIsMyFile.BAK.mp3"
IF NOT EXIST "%~n1.BAK%~x1" Null >  "%~n1.BAK%~x1"


- - -


And as a bonus:

IF NOT EXIST "%~n1.txt" Null >  "%~n1.txt" & START "" Notepad "%~n1.txt"

Or better:
SET NewFile="%~n1.txt"
IF NOT EXIST %NewFile% Null > %NewFile%  & START "" notepad %NewFile%


- - -

Another example:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\*\shell\Create BAK copy of selected file\command
IF NOT EXIST "%~n1.BAK%~x1" COPY %1  "%~n1.BAK%~x1"



HTH?
