"copy to clipboard" and "stay minimized" gave me exactly what I needed

Thanks Mouser for the quick reply!

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?

It appears from what I've tried so far that it's risky to use LBC on a portable USB device when the host computer already has LBC installed.

I set up LBC on my jump drive and built nodes to some of the portable apps and utilities I keep on that drive.  Worked fine, except when I next ran the LBC setup which resides permanently on my C drive, the dock for that computer had been overwritten with that on the portable version. 

Restored from the backup with no problem, but I've put on hold the idea of running LBC portably until I can figure out how to keep this from happening again.

Love LBC, but I cherish every free pixel of my laptop's 12" screen, and run the program minimized all the time.  Is there a setting or perhaps a command line option to have it minimize on program startup??

Something that would be the free equivalent of programs like "Driver Genius"

thanks all!

Drag&Drop Robot / D&DR executable question
« on: June 04, 2008, 10:42 AM »
Yo Mouser,

Trying D&DR after you recommended it in the general software forum. 

It seems to be just what I'm looking for - if only it would accept the "built in to the OS" commands such as copy, delete, rename etc.

For example: copy *.mp3 e:\  returns "Error: could not find executable to launch"

Am I missing something in the configuration or syntax which would enable those commands, or can you suggest a workaround?

Suggest you visit the <a href="http://www.videohelp...ctions/authoring-dvd">tools page on videohelp.com:</a>

an excellent reviews page on a site which is well populated by knowledgeable video processing geeks

Back in the old DOS days (I used DR-DOS) there was a neat command called "xall" which worked like this:

xall copy *.m3u E:\     
(from the starting point, drill down through all subdirs, find anything with the m3u extension and copy to the root of E drive)

xall ren *.txt *.prn 
(do the rename operation all the way down the subdir path)

Xall is still out there on the 'net, but all I can find is a version that's long-filename-unfriendly.

Anyone know of a Windows version of this?  GUI or command line, either would be great.

Thanks to everyone, Regshot did the trick just fine.

To do this:
Take a snapshot.
Run my program.
Take another snapshot.
See a comparison of exactly what files and registry entries were changed.

This is for an almost trivial purpose, I'm setting up a new family PC and need to find out where some older games store all their user history files (unfortunately not in a defined save game location).  So a high cost system restore package is not really what I'm looking for.

Searched the forum and found one reference that sounded perfect to a program called "What Changed". Unfortunately the post is two years old and the program is apparently no longer available.

Thanks

Mini-Reviews by Members / Re: List of disc catalogers
« on: April 29, 2008, 10:17 AM »
I have four of them installed in a virtual machine which is open on my screen right now.

WhereIsIt
Disk Explorer Professional
Disclib
Virtual Cat

I don't see a way to get any of them to open a window that browses the whole database.  I can run a report query that lists all files in the database which meet selected criteria, but that's not exactly the same thing as browsing all records across all archived volumes.

I'd really like to be able to do this with WhereIsIt because I like the program in many ways, but from an inspection of the author's website, it appears that the only question he really wants to answer is "how do I pay for the program?".  No contact e-mail other than for bug reports and payment issues, no user forum and a very abbreviated FAQ.

I tried all the links for LazyCat in your list, only one linked to a download (Lazy1_1a.zip) which shows up on my system as a corrupted file on each of three separate different DL attempts.

thanks....

Crush:

Just wondering if in your exploration of disc cataloguers you had found any that have the one feature I really want.

Let's say I have cataloged 20 DVD's with 50 files on each.  What I would like to be able to do is open up a single window that shows all 1000 files in a scrollable list, with one of the columns in that list being the ID number I assigned to the DVD containing that particular file.

Every cataloger I have tried so far is "disk centric" rather than "total database centric" - i.e. it will only let me browse one cataloged disk at a time.

Thanks.....

Sorry for the delay in replying.  The attached screen captures should convey what I was asking about.  When custom fonts are not selected, the highlighted item appears in contrast to the highlight bar.  When custom fonts are used, the text under the highlight bar stays in its native (black) color and so does not contrast to the bar.

A minor quibble.  I just don't use custom fonts as a result.

OOPS, botched the post, here's what I meant to write!!


...or more likely, a setting that I can't find (the color settings do not seem to be documented anywhere)

Can't figure out how to get an attached image to show up in preview while using this forum software, so I'll try and describe.

Menu flyouts for the Control Panel default icon show with the item name in black text on my defined (light beige) background.  When I roll the mouse over the selections, the targeted item shows up as very dark blue, with the item name now switching to WHITE for contrast.

But flyouts from my own home brewed icons show up when moused with a dark blue highlight bar and the original BLACK text, which is almost unreadable.  How do I get the flyout text to reverse from black to white when the cursor hits it??

Here's what a flyout menu looks like from the default Control Panel icon:
