General Software Discussion / Re: Printliminator
« on: December 25, 2009, 12:56 PM »
I should have added to my statement "...was done on an Apple,..." that I was using Windows on a P3, and I was wondering about my own computers limitations, not Apple's inadequacies..  I was just wondering if the codecs I've got on my machine effected the playback, or a server cache.  I'm sure Appple makes high quality presentations.  I'm guessing the playback was a local problem from Curt's description of how well it's working for him.  I'm sure the choice between these two high quality products will just be a matter of taste for most.  I often pick software just because it has the fewest features, as a matter of a personal preference for simplicity.  But I contradict myself in certain types os software too.  I still haven't tried PL, but I won't use these programs that much that I care.  In this case I can be lazy and still always be happy with the one I've got.

I went to ThePrintliminator link suggested by inventit and tried to run the demo video, and it was really choppy.  I then went to PrintWhatYouLike suggested by 4wd, and the demo was smooth as silk, so my first impression is set strongly.

I plan to use PrintWhatYouLike alot, and just wanted to thank both of you a lot!  This is good for saving bundles of ink, cash, trees, oxygen, etc.  I'm astounded by how easy this one is to use.  I didn't see any change in opening time on my browser at all.  It feels like it loads the page very lightly and you can cut the webpage to shreds in seconds and get to the area you really after for printing in your own browser!  I was definately expecting a new button, but just hit the link in your Favorites or Bookmarks and you all set up.

I noticed the first link was done on an Apple, and the second looked like IE I think (not going back though).  I'm wondering if that's the discrepancy with how the two played.  Maybe it's just the traffic or server caches or something.  Anybody else have as much trouble with the first?

Anyway, fantastic stuff.

Circle Dock / Re: Coming soon - Circle Dock Version 1.00
« on: December 08, 2009, 01:41 PM »
Markham, I discovered your program about 6 weeks ago, and at that time things were very wirey.  I'd have it running for 5-10 mins, and it would crash, never to return.  I'm not a launcher user, but even then Circle Dock was a bunch of fun. 

Now with Beta1 the last two weeks or so, I have it working on my #2 computer.  It only crashed once, yesterday, and I restarted it, and it was blank.  So I put back on some of my original shortcuts, and reshaped it, etc.  Next time I restarted the comp, the first set of settings were back, but the second set were gone.  I'm having fun with the notion I'm on a pre-release that will someday be very famous, so the setbacks are understood.  I'd love to see a feature to export the settings.
That Beta, in common with many other Beta versions out there, didn't have all the wrinkles iron-out. I posted it to show users the new Dock shape as there has been a deal of interest in such a shape. That it only crashed once is to its credit  . Can you recall the circumstances that caused it to crash?

I'm not sure about the circumstances, but thanks for asking.  I was intentionally making setting changes slowly, and closing the box to set them and reopening a lot.  Making a bunch at one time had crashed the earlier versions.  I think it was a combination of a few changes without closing the settings box immediately, and then a fast errant click on a desktop folder adjacent.

I've google earthed your new neighborhood (well, Cebu anyway) a fair amount in the last six months because of some chat friends there.  You're a lucky man to be living in that beautiful area.  My impression is that the level of english speakers is very high there.  It reminds me of Israel that way.

I hope you don't mind if I make another small request for your consideration.  I've noticed a prominent windows folder isn't included in the special folders drop-down list.  I'd love to see "Shared folders" in there.

Thanks again.

Markham, I discovered your program about 6 weeks ago, and at that time things were very wirey.  I'd have it running for 5-10 mins, and it would crash, never to return.  I'm not a launcher user, but even then Circle Dock was a bunch of fun.  

Now with Beta1 the last two weeks or so, I have it working on my #2 computer.  It only crashed once, yesterday, and I restarted it, and it was blank.  So I put back on some of my original shortcuts, and reshaped it, etc.  Next time I restarted the comp, the first set of settings were back, but the second set were gone.  I'm having fun with the notion I'm on a pre-release that will someday be very famous, so the setbacks are understood.  I'd love to see a feature to export the settings.

How famous you ask?
Your program will be the impetus to force manufacturers to create a U shape backlight and eventually the circular LCD monitor.  That, or with my first paycheck I'm going looking in antique shops for the famous 50's TV set made with the round screen, and a RF Modulator.  

Kidding aside, I thank you for the hard work you put in.

I've got a rhetorical question about your username too: I live in New England (a group of states in the northeast USA), and a lot of towns I grew up in, and around, ended with 'ham.'  Any connection to this area or England?  Just curious.  Or is it a real first name.  I'm always trying to pick up on different cultures.

I hope you either don't need credits and donations at all, or are getting them generously.

Thanks again.

jdd thanks, but I never moved the extracted folder after I unzipped and ran the .exe.  There's something else happening with my system, because I was going to be cautious and un-register and unzip somewhere else, as you'd advised.   I did, and when I went to delete the original folder, I got an error 'in use' message.  Then I checked my Task Manager, and Folder2File.exe was running, so I forced it to End, and I still couldn't delete the folder.  Then I went to my Boot Deleter. and went to integrate that into my shell, and that wouldn't integrate anywhere but in my Start Menu's context.  I'm running XP SP3, and the reboot is a solid 12-14 mins or more, so I do it once day unless something goes haywire.  I think I've seen this behavior in this comp before, and it did clear up with a reboot, but I can't get to that for awhile.  I'll keep you posted.

skwire, I wasn't selecting any folders.  Just file(s).  Ahh, create a config.ini...I haven't done that before, yep that helps.  Similar to AHK...
