Screenshot Captor / Bug: desktop folder was found but is not writeable

« on: August 22, 2019, 11:08 AM »

I have been used SC for years, never get any errors. But today I get this(see pic) when I start my PC.

Actually I don't know whether this is a SC bug, because my desktop folder is read-only and I can't change it successfully(it restored to the read-only after I change it)
I also change the permission in the safe tab of properties dialog, also didn't work.
I even found I can't move files to the desktop folder or edit a ahk(but txt files is OK) file on desktop(other folder is OK)

I changed my desktop folder to E:\desktop and nothing wrong for years until today.

I'm using windows 10 1903 x64

Any suggestions?

The latest changelog said:
You can now set a hotkey to copy the text under the cursor (by triggering a Ctrl+C) and then APPENDING it to last clip.  Useful for building up clips.

I guess it refers to the option in hotkey -- copy and append

I tried to set it to ctrl + shift + L
And first I copyed 111 with ctrl + c, then I selected 222 and clicked CS+L. Then I clicked ctrl + v but I still get 222 (I thought it should be 111222)
Am I missing something?
Thx

Since there is an error -- "Run time error '6: Overflow" on Windows 10.
Its the VB's Shortcoming when it attempts to store/search too much data.

scancode post an demo video of v2 on Nov 2015, So I'm wondering the version 2 is really exist?

Or should we just try skwire's Scud?

Very great tool.

All the English commander works well.
Unfortunately it seems doesn't support unicode. Even though I can use the alternative method --- ID #136 or index 3/-7 etc. But this way is not stable.
Any solution??

N.A.N.Y. 2019 / Re: NANY 2019: Shorthand 3_2

« on: April 10, 2019, 01:07 AM »

another bug report

I run shorthand with admin, in adv search mode.
I don't quite understand what the containing field means, I guess its the result filter... or perhaps search for content in txt file(that's a great feature and I think maybe you have not finished it yet)

When I searched in the containing field(shorthand1.gif), I got an error(error4.png) each time I enter or delete a character.

I tried to follow the instruction in the error window, clear the % in line 2815, namely
%key% := this.value  --->   key := this.value

Then I got shorthand2.gif
In the final of shorthands.gif, when I clear the containing field and turn back to the main search input. I had to add or delete a character to get the search result. So it can't get the result instant even I clicked enter key.

Right, so, the issue was with the encoding of the script and not the txt file. Open the script in a file editor and encode it as UTF-8-BOM or something similar. I will update the script to 3.2.0.47 as soon as I have it working for the results of "Everything".

-Maestr0 (April 09, 2019, 12:02 PM)

Glad to hear that you found a solution
Just take your time.

this v1 code works in v1 without a problem:

but this v2 code throws an error:

-Maestr0 (April 09, 2019, 06:21 AM)

If so, then we can do nothing. so maybe just forget about this error.

thx for your reply.

Can you reply to this message with the contents of your start.bat code in brackets?

-Maestr0 (April 09, 2019, 12:42 AM)

One thing I need to make it clear is that I didn't modified any code in it. So here is the contents of my start.bat:
@echo OFF

start ./app/AHKv2_x32.exe shorthand3_ahk2.ahk


Here is the content of the error1 comes from:
In   .\app\shorthand3_ahk2_updater.ahk
<!DOCTYPE html><html xml:lang="en" class="maestro" xmlns="http://www.w4.org/1999/xhtml"><head><script nonce="Gwr7GMPeiqNeO2AkPHvU">
window._goch_ = {};
window.addEventListener('click', function(event) {
    'use strict';
    for (var elm = event.target; elm; elm = elm.parentElement) {
        if (elm.id &&
            window._goch_.hasOwnProperty(elm.id) &&
            window._goch_[elm.id].call(elm, event) === false) {
            event.preventDefault();
        }
    }
}, true);
...
...
...

I'll see if I can change it to support Unicode. Watch this space!

Take your time, I will wait

2 Maestr0

here is another bug report

I'm running the latest version 3.2.0.46 (updated var the app)

When i first run this app, I started start.bat since I don't have ahk V2 installed. Then I get the error1(see pic below). But this actually have no matters, I can just close the error window and app can run normally.
Then I started my new search, everything is fine when I was searching English characters but there comes error2 when I searched Chinese characters.(I guess it doesn't suppirt Unicode.) I tried to open the file with Scrambled Code name and I got error3.
Regards.

I recommended Pointofix in my first post in this topic. it can draw on screen which helps in demonstrations.
Now I wanna recommend another alternative, An annotation and screen zoom tool with KB shortcuts + Display keystrokes --- DemoHelper   single file,   248K   USB
(of course you can also try StExBar on this website)

MouseIMP a small utility can scroll page with your mouse in required direction + "autoShrink" feature makes only title bar remains automatically.   1MB   EXE

PS: you can add color like FF00FF to the shortcut (target) to change the line color.

Microsoft Sets haven't officially released yet, its a great feature people are always dreaming of.

I guess WindowTabs (DOWNLOAD this fork) is well-known enough, but do you know it is free and open source now. But it is a little sluggish on windows 10.
And also here is another alternative multrin you should try.

I'm now trying to make a mind map for this topic, but since I don't have much spare time and it takes me a lot of time to make a demo gif for each program. I will upload the mm here as long as I finished it, but this is not a promise, maybe it will never be finished if I found it is meaningless.
My plan for the mind map is:
Classify it;
Insert official website;
Usage notation;
A gif demo.

« on: February 22, 2019, 04:27 AM »

I'm not quite following what parts of the feature request are the important ones.. Have you tried my Clipboard Help+Spell?  I don't think it will solve your problem (though it has a stack and a quick popup list of recent clips), but I ask only because if you could explain what features you'd like added it would be easier for me to understand.

-mouser (February 21, 2019, 07:32 PM)

Thanks for the feedback. mouser.
I just updated the post and add some pictures. please check it out again.
Yes, I tried Clipboard Help+Spell and all of your software. . but maybe I miss something since Clipboard Help+Spell is in English and so many options.
I need to click Ctrl+Alt+C/V/Z to open the popup menu the click the target(It seems most of clipboard manager do the same thing like this), actually I know its simple and efficient in this way.

But... I want to make things quicker and more simple ----- all this thing is handled by Ctrl+C/V/X
click Ctrl+C/V/X
hold Ctrl+C/V/X
hold Ctrl and click C/V/X

Two keys in three modes. This should be interesting.

I use http://www.joejoesoft.com/vcms/97/ ArsClip, which may satisfy some of your requirements.

-anandcoral (February 21, 2019, 06:23 AM)

Yeah, Thank you! . I also use it sometimes.
Its clipboard bar, trigger window and macro are very useful and there are many way to edit the clip content. But it seems have no function(my favorite feature) like clipstep can navigate the clip with Ctrl c/v.
This time I take more focus on the copy/paste function itself. And the less hotkeys need to be remembered, the better.

75

Post New Requests Here / what if a clipboard manager like this?

« on: February 21, 2019, 05:39 AM »

My idea comes from clipstep, CCCCtrlC and Klipp3r!
They have similar and different features. But they should be better .

I don't need any search feature like Ditto do, because I use hotstring for my most used text and cmd... And I think searching for clips means slow and inefficient. because most of the time we copy text when we just only need it! If it deserves you to search it, it should be in your HotString.

CCCCtrl usage:
How to copy? --- Hold both Ctrl and C first(don't release!), then select any text. A popup will be display in you bottom right of the screen(just like C _ _ C _ C C)
How to paste? --- Hold both Ctrl and V. A popup also will be display in you bottom right of the screen. The highlight switch between C _ _ C _ C C. Release Ctrl V until the target one is hightlighted.
CCCCtrl is great, but it seems a little difficult to handle it. Just like playing Piano tiles , I'm not good at it.
Even thought I can slow down the CCCCtrlC's scroll speed but I can't figure out what exactly I'm chosen(C _ _ C _ C C);
Clipstep only show one popup clip item when I hold the Ctrl key.

I think
The clipboard content should be divided into four parts.

• normal
• private(should be delete after paste it), such as when you fill the excel Mike, 84997979, [email protected], Los Angeles...
• enumeration
• Sequential(Stack, the first coped one should be the first paste one)

To the normal, just click Ctrl+c/v/x like what we do on Windows.

To the private(maybe email, password or something important), just like what CCCCtrlC do——Hold the Ctrl+C first then select the target text. But this kind of clips content have no influence to the normal one(as I said, they are divided.) Hold the Ctrl+V to paste the content in private part.
In this way the clips content will be auto deleted when we finish the paste action(PRIVATE!!!).

To the enumeration, just like what ClipStep do——Click ctrl+c to copy the text, hold the Ctrl key then tap V/C(v to forward, c to backward) one by one until you find the target and then release the Ctrl key.
But ClipStep has a big drawback, thinking about that you copy and copy, and paste and paste continuously, tap the C/V to switch your target...... then you have no idea where you are!!!

So we need a list(configurable number to display, maybe can have multi column to display more content.) My idea is that when we hold the Ctrl and tap C for once, it comes out a popup list(highlight the current one and blur the others). Then we know where we are and thus we can still tap C to navigate or simply click the desire one. The popup lost disappear when we complete the paste action. Or you can just see the picture below.

To the Sequential, maybe we can use the ctrl+,(to copy) and ctrl+.(to paste). namely 111(ctrl+,), 222(ctrl+,), 333(ctrl+,) then (ctrl+.)three times output is 111 222 333 but not 333 222 111

this is just my idea, but not a request.
sorry for my English.

Any better way to improve?
