You might also like to look at EDI - TEXTEDITOR.  Warning - I haven't tried it.  From the Features List:

Edi FREE
With Edi FREE you can mail merge into multiple PDF files and send them as an email.

Edi FREE is a professional spreadsheet and a word processor program.

You may use Edi FREE without registration and without any obligations at no cost, as long as you wish, even for commercial purposes.
In case, more functionality is needed - you can upgrade to Edi PRO.

Bit du Jour are offering a discount on the Pro version.  It needs .NET, if that bothers you.  I think their main point is that the word processor and spreadsheet functions are much better integrated than Microsoft Office.

I think I tried that not long ago, it is a kind of alternative to Word/Excel, but if I am not mistaken it is much slower than any of the ones I have tried, such as LibreOffice, OnlyOffice, WPS Office, etc.

Did you forget you started a similar thread here before - notepad calculator?

Did CalcTape not suit you?

-rjbull (December 30, 2023, 03:31 PM)

lol I had forgotten that I had created this thread before.

CalcTape does not work the way I expect from a notepad that displays the results on the side.
It's not a bad program, but it's not the kind of simple notepad that displays the results on the side if necessary.

Using ChatGPT I have tried to create a calculator like the one I am looking for.
With Python and PyQt6, to make it cross-platform.
With mathjs, so that it has all its functions.
With QuickJS, to have a lightweight Javascript interpreter, so you can have mathjs updated without any problem.
There is mathjs for Python, mathjspy, however, it is not updated often

This is the source code of the program so far:

QuickMathPad

import sys
from PyQt6.QtWidgets import QApplication, QWidget, QTextEdit, QHBoxLayout
from PyQt6.QtCore import Qt
from quickjs import Context

class MyApp(QWidget):
 def __init__(self):
   super().__init__()
   self.setWindowTitle("QuickMathPad")
   self.setMinimumSize(512, 320)
   self.resize(512, 320)
   
   self.layout = QHBoxLayout()
   self.setLayout(self.layout)
   
   self.text_edit_left = QTextEdit()
   self.layout.addWidget(self.text_edit_left)
   
   self.text_edit_right = QTextEdit()
   self.layout.addWidget(self.text_edit_right)

   self.text_edit_left.textChanged.connect(self.evaluate_expression)

   self.context = Context()
   self.context.eval(open("math.js").read())

 def evaluate_expression(self):
   lines = self.text_edit_left.toPlainText().split('\n')
   results = []
   for line in lines:
     try:
       result = self.context.eval(line)
       results.append(str(result))
     except Exception as e:
       results.append(str(e))
   self.text_edit_right.setText('\n'.join(results))

app = QApplication(sys.argv)
window = MyApp()
window.show()
sys.exit(app.exec())

Things I would like to correct:
Allow comments using #
Fix bugs like using percentage '%', blank lines showing as "None".
In general, make it have the same functionality as Numara.

If someone knows Python and wants to fix these problems it would be great.
Or create your own version in some fast, portable and lightweight language?
Such as Lua, AutoHotKey, etc, Rust?

UI.Vision ?

-4wd (October 05, 2023, 11:38 PM)

Heh I didn't know UI.Vision, it seems to be exactly what I am looking for, the only negative point I would give is that it does not have such a simple interface as the previously mentioned programs, however the rest is perfect.

Thank you very much for mentioning the program

General Software Discussion / Macro Creation programs

« on: September 29, 2023, 02:44 PM »

I'm considering using Linux at some point, but one thing I can't find is a macro creator that is simple and complete.
For Linux, there are generally only programs to use by command and not an interface that allows you to do everything visually.

Actiona / Actionaz
https://github.com/Jmgr/actiona
https://github.com/niconil/actionaz
I can't even find where to download it and it seems that it hasn't been updated in a long time.

SikuliX1
https://raiman.github.io/SikuliX1/
The only thing you have to do visually is select the image and little else, the rest is to use as scripting.

Pulover's Macro Creator
https://www.macrocreator.com/
It's free, open source and built with AutoHotkey, only for Windows.

Macro Recorder
https://www.macrorecorder.com/
It is currently what I use, it is really complete and very easy to use, only for Windows and Mac.

PyAutoGUI
It is quite complete in terms of functions to create macros, it is available for Windows, Mac and Linux, however, being only a Python module it only works by commands, so in principle it is not easy for a common user as the previous programs.

Does anyone know of an option as complete as PyAutoGUI but with an easy-to-use interface to create macros like Macro Recorder?

By the way, after some searching I had been able to contact someone who did what I needed for the notifications, the bot sends them using telegram.

If you can make the program do it without more than the api key and secret key it would be good.

Post New Requests Here / Binance P2P notificaitons

« on: August 01, 2022, 03:30 PM »

Binance has notifications for P2P orders (android app, don't know about iOS, probably too)
But the website and the desktop program (Windows / Linux / Mac) have no notifications for P2P orders.
The problem with this is that you have to manually check the orders to see if they have been created, completed or cancelled.

There are some bots that try to solve this, but are somewhat complicated to put to work.
Like this:
https://github.com/P...t-order-notification

If someone can make some simple and easy to configure program for this would be great.

I have added a link to Numara, it is open source and available for Windows, MacOS, Linux and on the web, built on Electron, powered by Math.js.

I have also added Calculor, it is very small and complete, although it is not a "Notepad calculator" it is excellent, it has very good tools that a standard calculator like windows does not have, like variables, and everything can be done in a single line with immediate results.
It is my favorite now

Thanks for your reply Shades, however my goal is to avoid additional operating systems with virtual machines.
I can't figure out how to correctly configure the openvpn adapters, network configurations are not something I am exactly proficient in and I find it a bit complicated heh

« on: June 19, 2021, 05:15 PM »

I can then have my local ip address + one vpn addresss
Now I want have my local ip address + two or more vpn address
Why?
Why not?

Indeed OpenVPN have option to connect to multiple VPNs with and different adapters at time.
I followed this guide
https://michlstechbl...ple-vpns-on-windows/
However once I connect two vpns all connections are blocked, I have no access to any of them, neither local nor VPNs.

I wonder if I have not yet configured the vpn files correctly or there is something I have not seen.
Can someone help me with this?

General Software Discussion / Re: Multi-VPN Conections and rules

« on: June 16, 2021, 09:16 PM »

I think you want Split Tunnelling, but I'm not sure OpenVPN can do it at the application level, only network routes.

Some VPN providers do application level split tunnelling, (eg. WindScribe), where you can either specify apps that will, (Inclusive mode), or won't, (Exclusive mode), use the VPN connection.  But that only applies to a single VPN connection.

Seeing as you seem to want multiple VPN connections and be able to direct certain programs toward a specific VPN connection I think you'll have to resort to proxies or stay with VMs.

-4wd (June 16, 2021, 09:17 AM)

Yeah, I want do this, if I am not mistaken windscribe uses openvpn (tap driver)
If I can at least use VPN and my local IP at the same time it would be great.
Being able to use more than two connections simultaneously would be great too, but I understand that this can be much more complicated.

General Software Discussion / Multi-VPN Conections and rules

« on: June 15, 2021, 10:05 PM »

I want some way to have multiple OpenVPN connections at the same time and set different rules.
e.g. have an OpenVPN connection used only in Chrome and use the local IP address for all other programs on the computer

So far the only way I find are virtual machines, but this is not very good, I want to do this without spending resources on a vm.

This kind of thing is possible with Proxies and using proxifier, but I don't know if it is possible with OpenVPN.

Post New Requests Here / Re: Start Menu mod

« on: April 29, 2021, 09:17 PM »

Does it have to be the Start Menu as such?  I ask because I see you use Horst Schaeffer's MemPad.  If you're open to alternative launchers, have you tried his Qsel?

-rjbull (April 28, 2021, 03:39 PM)

I tried QSel, it's a good program, light and does what it should, although I don't find it very nice to open a window to search a list of programs and have the start menu for others.
I've tried many other launchers, the ones I like the most are the ones that are a contextual menu in the system tray.

Portable Start Menu is a very good one, it's simple and clean but you can't customize the menu sort.
https://www.aignes.com/psmenu.htm

But of this type of launchers, the one I liked the most is TrayLauncher.
https://code.google....hive/p/traylauncher/

So far the best option (for my taste) I have found is Jumplist-Launcher.
creating a list of programs and adding it to the start menu is a good combination, it's a feature of Windows and doesn't keep any extra programs running in the background
https://jumplist-lau...uptodown.com/windows

Having an additional start menu in addition to windows' own is not good at least for me.

Anyway the start menu + jumplist I think is a very good solution
