Screenshot Captor / Re: Screenshot on High Definition Monitor
« Last post by nkormanik on February 03, 2021, 09:14 PM »
Thanks, Tom, for the reminder.  Just checked, and saved images in SC look fine.  Apparently the issue is with the viewer -- an old version of ACDSee.  Probably need to find a better image viewer.

Thanks Mouser.  I use another image viewing program to subsequently view the saved screenshots.  Perhaps the problem lies there.

Any suggestions about what the presently recommended image viewer is out there?

By the way, Windows 10 is set at 150% scaling on the UHD monitor, if that affects anything.

By the way, Vic, and others... I had asked about this functionality years ago.  One person that worked on it is at this link:

RegaLink

He, Stephen66515, did a pretty good job, until he stopped.  He left available his code for others to use if they wanted.

Screenshot Captor / Screenshot on High Definition Monitor
« Last post by nkormanik on February 03, 2021, 01:30 AM »
I tried Screenshot Captor on a UHD monitor (3840x2160) and noticed all the screenshots appeared blurry, not like the original screen looked.  (Desktop, for instance.  Simply taking a screenshot of the Desktop.)

On a 1920x1080 screen, the Screenshot Captor screenshot was seemingly exactly as clear as the original screen appeared.

What gives?  Is there a setting that I can adjust?

Thanks much!

Excellent video.   Can't get clearer than that.

Windows 10 Pro, 20H2, 19042.746, Windows Feature Experience Pack 120.2212.1070.0

And presently using the new Edge browser.

But willing to use ANY browser with URLister.  Noticed the only option is "Default."  If user can insert in the .xml file their preferred browser (path, etc.), that would be sweet.

Nice, Vic.  Coming along!

Enhancement Requests:

-- Allow .txt list of bookmarks to be dragged to URLister icon, to automatically open into program.

-- Allow .htm/.html list of bookmarks to be dragged to URLister icon, to automatically open into program.

The above two items will allow URLister to be placed into the SendTo folder as well.

-- Allow .txt list of bookmarks to be dragged to URLister opened program window to open.

-- Allow .htm/.html list of bookmarks to be dragged to URLister opened program window to open.

Copied and pasted a list of URLs into program okay.

Received the following error message:

Thanks!

Great, Vic.  Glad you are still game.

Probably users in general would not want to be reloading their browsers.  But, I don't have a problem with doing that.

Actually, a clever idea.

If unloading browser is accepted, URLplayer may be usable presently -- except for needing a much, much larger list allowance.

If I am orchestrating the whole works on my system, I can tell my macro program (presently MacroExpress) to unload the browser -- after, say, two minutes (to download a .pdf file).  After browser is unloaded, go back to URLplayer, and load the next URL in the list.  Which will fire up the browser again, and go to the subsequent page (or download the next pdf in line).

So, what we would have is a nice 'semi-automatic', with a really long clip.

Thanks much, Vic.  Another thing I noticed is that URLplayer does not yet allow for opening JUST ONE tab of the browser (in my case, Edge -- seemed Chrome was suddenly sort of misbehaving on various fronts...).  Instead, multiple tabs are being opened, one per URL.  Perhaps that's unavoidable.  Since I am downloading so many files, it would be necessary to have the option of just a single tab being repeatedly used.  (Possible with the Waterfox/Firefox extension Flem, now history...)

Number of lines appears limited.  Increase that by tenfold.

i.e., from roughly 300 --> 3000.

Enhancement request:

Once user gets all the urls into your program, please allow for the ability to save the list.  Say, to .txt file.  Better still, .html file.

And, at very least, allow copy.  That way user can copy and paste to their own .txt file.

Thanks!

An additional point is, in what form are the URLs.

In the example above, the six URLs are in a list.  A text list.  Text file.

What, though, if user has Windows desktop links, six little icons, shortcuts?, sitting on desktop.  Or in a folder.

In such case, how is the user supposed to get those desktop links into your program?

Probably difficult to code, but ideally the user could simply drag those six desktop links over into your program, and *shazam*, all links suddenly are transformed into a list.

(Wonder how many out there have folder after folder of such links, not even remembering what they would lead to.  Wouldn't it be terrific to drag a folder over into your program, generate a big list, and zip through to all sorts of various web pages long forgotten....)

Such a conversion functionality would be pretty significant.  Not at all readily found out there.

If the list could then be saved (.txt, or, huge bonus, .html), well, people might be downloading your program simply to have such easy link conversion.  Let alone the primary ability to load those links one after the other.

General Software Discussion / Re: Desktop software for speed reading improvement
« Last post by nkormanik on January 07, 2021, 05:05 AM »
In my opinion, Contro, a very important topic.

The best reader I've found is Moon+.  Most unfortunately it is an Android program.  It has a terrific auto-next-page functionality.  Better than anything I've come across.  Everything is great about it, in every way.

Wish it were a Window's program, however.  If only Windows ran Android programs....

Have not yet tried it in BlueStacks, Nox, or the like.

As I get into it, would you like to add:

- Global hotkeys (for moving to next URL using the keyboard).

Cheers!
Vic

Thanks a million, Vic.  Yes, it would be helpful to have a keyboard shortcut, if possible, to move on to the next URL.

In my particular case, I have been using a macro program (Macro Express) and Flem (Waterfox extension), and moving mouse cursor specifically to a little box (need screen coordinates), clicking in that little box, to move on to the next URL.  This all depends on the screen, window, staying exactly as it was when the macro was 'programmed.'  I was anticipating doing similarly with your program.

Having a keyboard shortcut to move on to the next URL would indeed make life easier.

Let's take a little example:

Below is a list of direct-link URLs for six pdf books I would like to download:

http://digamo.free.fr/salva03.pdf
https://repub.eur.nl...o-Krsmanovic-lr-.pdf
http://www.thebestof...s/thebestrecipes.pdf
http://finpko.facult...0Finance-II_2005.pdf
https://www.pdfdrive...;u=cache&ext=pdf
https://www.pdfdrive...;u=cache&ext=pdf

I find it best to make sure one book is fully downloaded before starting to download the next.  So, let's assume, I sit and wait.  Then click on tiny box "Next" as needed when the right time comes, for the next URL.  Again and again.  Until all books are downloaded.

(Uhhmmm....  What about 100 books?  Or 1000....)

(Actually, I assume the worst case, and build that into a macro -- say, two minutes per book.  Macro waits, then repeats.  Set that all rolling, while I sleep at night.  By morning, a folder full of new reading material, images, songs, whatever.)

Thanks!

N.A.N.Y. 2021 / Re: N.A.N.Y. 2021 Entry: URLister
« Last post by nkormanik on January 06, 2021, 07:48 AM »
As I've said before, the program I presently use is FLEM -- an extension for Firefox Browser.

But none of the current Firefox variants support FLEM.  And the developer apparently doesn't care to upgrade his/her extension to meet the changes.

Thus, FLEM is basically history now, for the public.

Sad how that happens.

« Last post by nkormanik on January 06, 2021, 04:26 AM »
Well, URLister is needed, and will be greatly appreciated.

Requests:

-- Allow copy/paste to get list of URLs entered.
-- Allow drag-into-window to get list of URLs entered.
-- Allow drag-to-program-icon (on desktop), and SendTo, to get list of URLs entered.
-- Allow option to open each URL into separate tabs, OR into just the first tab, overwriting what was there.
-- Allow program window option to STAY ON TOP of other windows (i.e, browsers)

That would be a good start.

Thanks for keeping this alive!

Yes, the message -- program exited from, window closed -- has been an annoyance for me as well.  Not sure if Chris has interest to further work on this program, however.

Nevertheless, I use DblEscClose every day.  An easy rapid way to close a window.

@Stephen66515  Thanks for getting back.  Well, hope someone picks up on this.

If anyone knows of another way to open URLs one at a time, from a long list, please chime in here.

Thanks all!

@Stephen66515  The next step, if anyone is still interested, is to add button to open the NEXT URL in the list.

Opening all at once is good.  But what's truly needed out there is the ability to open one at a time.  Click button, open the NEXT.

Sadly, the **browser extension** "Flem" which did the above in Firefox was non-working in the new Firefox releases.  And now non-working in the replacement-for-Firefox Waterfox new releases.

Post New Requests Here / Command-Line Shooter
« Last post by nkormanik on September 16, 2020, 12:44 AM »
I have a list of command.com 'things' I want to execute.  Let's say, 300+.

One command.com 'order' per line.

Presently all 300+ are in one long text file.

Imagine, as metaphor, all 300+ are like bullets on a belt.

Belt of bullets.jpg

I need the 'gun'.

In other words, I'd like to rip off the top, say, 10.  Put them in the gun.  Pull the trigger.

Boom, boom, boom.....

All ten command.com lines get executed, one after another.

Okay, I could make up separate batch files for each group.  But it would be faster to do it some other way.

Enter:  Command-Line Shooter

Thoughts appreciated.

4wd, is that cool, or what.  You always seem to come up with good solutions.  My man!

Here's another little approach I discovered....

Screenshot Successful.vbs:

WScript.Timeout = 3
x=msgbox("Screenshot Capture Successful!",0,"Great news....")

Place the above two lines into a blank text file.  Rename text file to .vbs extension.

Place full path and filename into mouser's "Invoke..." box.  Apply.  Save.

Presto.
