-tomos (January 18, 2008, 02:52 AM)

that's strange, tomos because i can access the page with no problems at all.. anyway, try downloading the file to see if it works..
-lanux128 (January 18, 2008, 07:07 AM)

hmmm, nor none of them work  :-\
wonder if this a personal thing or a european thang :tellme:
can someone else check those links in Lanux's post- I just get "not accessible"

I remember this being a problem before on a different computer for me- I couldnt access sites everyone else could (someone out there thought it was non-appropriate for me :P) there was an explanationout there, will look up that (it was alaxnotes if i recall correctly)

Are you guys sure it is connected to any plugin at all? Does this behavior constantly disappear when you disable those plugins?
-vitalyb (January 17, 2008, 03:52 PM)

all clear so far with googlesuggest -
I'm fairly definite it's to do with these two or\and the ms update you mention in the SDK thread
(the plugins didnt work for me before I got that download)

Tomos, VVV has been updated. You can paste this into the list:
Virtual Volumes View v0.8 http://vvvapp.sourceforge.net/ for Windows & Linux (Ubuntu) Freeware FOSS 2007-12-22
list of news in v0.8: http://sourceforge.n....php?forum_id=767473
-Nod5 (January 17, 2008, 11:48 AM)

thanks for the update Nod5,
how are you finding it - or have you had a chance to try out the update?

You used use the Advanced Disk Catalog before ?
How do they compare (if you have the time for a comment or two :))

I know the Advanced Disk Catalog hasnt been updated since 2004 & isnt available at it's website (I added a link for tucows) so that's obviously a factor...

[edit] major rewrite - I got Advanced Disk Catalog and Advanced FTP & Disc Cataolger confused - whodathunkit :P
I also see it's not on the exrended list :-[ will correct that ... [/edit]

« Last post by tomos on January 17, 2008, 11:16 AM »
with this plugin installed, when I open my programme of choice, FARR stays open - but goes to the back of any open windows
FARR + EV plugin work perfectly when the GS plugin isnt installed
GoogleSuggest works on it's own
So the problem is with "EV" (but only in conjunction with) and "GS" when they both loaded
-tomos (January 16, 2008, 03:07 PM)
I've had the same problem. This is on a XP Home by the way.
-TucknDar (January 17, 2008, 07:51 AM)
Almost relieved I'm not alone!
Actually it is also happening (sometimes at least) with just the EV plugin (even though it worked okay initially when I was testing it that way :-\)
Going to try with just the GS plugin for the next while...

you can delete it if its not in use, doesnt matter. it's just a file created by the database engine signifying to any other programs that the clip database is in use.

minor bug here (but then you know vitaly there's been lots of problems here that havent been happening elsewhere!)

with this plugin installed, when I open my programme of choice, FARR stays open - but goes to the back of any open windows
if I go win+m its there on the desktop

hmm -
just checked FARR + EV plugin work perfectly when the GS plugin isnt installed
GoogleSuggest works on it's own
So the problem is with "EV" (but only in conjunction with) and "GS" when they both loaded

this here just FTR - I'm prob going to remove this one cause I dont use it much

I updated my SQL with the latest build, then I opened up my transcript grid and the information is not showing and I'm getting the following message: (see attachment in previous post)
As far as I can tell, I have the correct filters and everything shown.  In fact, I didn't change anything from the last time I had it working, so I don't know what I did.
-superboyac (January 16, 2008, 11:13 AM)

Word Processor Roundup / Re: Textmaker (Softmaker/Ashampoo Office) 2008
« Last post by tomos on January 16, 2008, 04:18 AM »
Busted! You're right - the Scansoft option was to embed non-standard fonts. My document only contains Times New Roman. Switching to "embed all fonts" in Scansoft results in a 123kb file. I owe SoftMaker an apology  :o :-[
-Darwin (January 15, 2008, 05:59 PM)
so Texttmaker make one almost half the size of Scansofts! - that's probably due to the "Embed only used characters" option

...
File without fonts embedded is readable except for the following

# it can handle é but not ´ *
# it cant handle ' a single apostrophe like would normally be used in Tom's or in some surnames e.g. O'Connor
# it cant handle euro symbol €
-tomos (January 15, 2008, 06:33 AM)
-
they dont seem too interested in resolving the above issues -
(they blamed Adobe - who probably dont help but werent the problem here)
it probably is safer to embed fonts but it's always nice to have options... :-\

* for some reason they normally use ´ (as in é without the e) instead of apostrophe here in Germany - I think because the apostrophe isnt natively used

[edit] added some emphasis!

I've screwed things up :D

discovered the sort bar, dragged two columns in there to sort by (inbox and..?)
then I (without thinking) right clicked these (in sort bar) and clicked hide columns & cant get them to show

ahhh, if I right click a column heading, select "displayed columns" I can choose them there
(BTW while that dialogue box is open the programme doesnt show in Alt-Tab)

I was making the mistake of selecting Manage Fields from same to try show columns  :-[

or toggle the filter (left of the filter edit box)

and how would I temporarily change filter to show done items as well
Figured that - just remove the "and ( done is null  or int(now) - done < 5)" from the end..

EDIT overlapped your reply there, thanks

put it at the beginning Inbox OR FollowUp ...
-PPLandry (January 15, 2008, 04:14 PM)
:Thmbsup:
could you though introduce them as sub-items to they same grid?
10046
General Software Discussion / Re: SQLNotes...what is it exactly?
« Last post by tomos on January 15, 2008, 04:12 PM »
the inbox data can be displayed in more than 1 grid. You could for example decide to show the inbox items along with other items in the ToDos grid (add " OR Inbox" to the source and perhaps to the filter)

I hope that this is clear as mud (or as slushy winter streets)  :-[
-PPLandry (January 15, 2008, 02:09 PM)

ehh, I'm learning about SQL since trying to implement this (showing inbox in a different grid) but havent been sucessful so far, the filter bar has disappeared (since adding the daily release I think) I can only find date filter in menu..
added "or inbox" to source (of ToDo Grid), no difference,
added column called inbox but that just shows as tick-box after current entries

Got it I think - show Source bar. hmmm
filter says:-
FollowUp or ((( ToDo < now + 15 ) and due is null ) or urgency >= -7 or (due-now<6)) and ( done is null  or int(now) - done < 5)
can I add it there somehow?

Well... SoftMaker TextMaker (rev. 482) exported a 63kb, 4 page, Word Document to a pdf that is 134kb in size. This is with the "embed only embedable font"s setting applied and at Low (96dpi) quality with auto table of contents generated. I printed the same file from within SoftMaker to Scansoft PDF Creator at medium quality with embed fonts enabled and it produced a pdf of just 16kb in size (complete with TOC). So... the current SoftMaker revision is better than it was, but far from optimized.
-Darwin (January 15, 2008, 02:44 PM)
you sure Scansoft is embedding those fonts :tellme: thats incredibly small, mind you I usually make PDFs with more than one font. The quality usually only effects graphics (I think)

[edit] I think the 134kb file size would be similar to OpenOffice/Nova PDF going by my test files here
