LaunchBar Commander / Bugfix request - font display in menu flyouts
« on: June 17, 2010, 01:37 PM »
Hi Mouser - I posted about this some time ago, it may have inadvertently dropped off your bugfix list.

When using the standard font, the selected item is properly reverse shaded in the menu flyout (see picture "flyout1")

But when using a custom font, the selected item keeps the same color as non selected items, making it harder to read (see picture "flyout2")

Not a four-alarm bug, take a look whenever......

LaunchBar Commander / Mouser - need help on LBC portable use
« on: June 17, 2009, 08:59 AM »
I tried using LBC as my portable launcher a few months ago (left a message upstream in the forum) but could not quite make it work.  So I tried some of the other portable launchers and found them all wanting in one way or another.  So here I am back again.

This is what I want to do (if it's doable).

I have LBC on a USB stick in an \LBC folder. I also have the portable version of Open Office on that same stick in an \OO3 folder.

I want to assign OpenofficePortable.exe to a button on LBC so that:

(1) LBC -always- goes to the program on the stick, -never- looking for the program on the HDD.  This is important because I know I have the portable flavor of OO on the stick and don't have to worry about where it is writing.  (for that same reason, I don't -think- have to worry about configuring LBC to tell the app which directories to use)

(2) LBC does this irrespective of whatever drive letter the stick may be assigned when plugged into different PC's.

In other words I want LBC to always launch relative (based on the stick structure), never absolute (using drive letters).

I've tried a few different ways of setting up the folder structure and app parameters and nothing seems to quite work.  So I'm asking for the "cookbook" instructions - thank you!!!

General Software Discussion / Need to downsample multiple page .tiffs - any suggestions??
« on: June 10, 2009, 01:28 PM »
I have several hundred .tif files which were created by feeding pages into an office printer/scanner set at 600 dpi.  Each file is 30-50 pages long.

Now I need to downsample them to 300 dpi (don't ask why.....grrrrrrrr) and if possible I sure don't want to have to unpack each file into its separate pages, resample them one page at a time, and then repack.

Anyone on DC know of a program that will downsample a multi page .tif as a single file?  Doesn't have to be free but needs to be reasonable ($150 or less)

thanks!!!

Post New Requests Here / IDEA: Drag/drop bookmarks between two html/xml files
« on: April 01, 2009, 10:43 AM »
The problem:

I have two sets of Firefox bookmarks:  Set A is used at home and has over 500 entries.  Set B is used at work and is a subset of set A (does not include gaming, sports, hobby sites etc).   When I add a link to the "common area" (folders shared by both sets) I can't use any of the existing sync tools because they will sync everything in both folders, effectively creating two copies of Set A.  So I have to log in and out of Firefox with different profiles for the two sets of bookmarks, copying and pasting links one at a time, and hoping I remember to get them all matched up.

The solution:

If I could export Set A to homemarks.html and Set B to workmarks.html and then look at them in a two-pane window, dragging bookmarks back and forth, I could then re-import the files to their respective Firefox installs.

Screenshot Captor / New user - trying to streamline the workflow
« on: February 28, 2009, 07:04 PM »
Hi, can't seem to get exactly the right SC configuration to do what I want here.

What I'm doing is going to a large number of websites in succession, and each time:

(1) grab a "selected region" of the screen using Shift-PrintScr
(2) I get the "what now?" popup from SC and select "image to clipboard"
(3) go to another window which contains an open Corel Draw session and paste the image with Ctl-V
(4) go to another webpage for another capture

Where I seem to have my problem is when I get to Step 4.  Hitting Shift-PrtSc does not bring up the crosshair cursor unless I first mouse over to the taskbar, bring up the SC popup screen and select "Discard image". 

Is there an option setting that will tell SC to be ready to accept a new Shift-PrtSc instantly upon the previous capture's being sent to the clipboard?
