Clipboard Help+Spell / Re: [Bug] Menu displaying

« Last post by mouser on December 17, 2012, 05:02 AM »

Does it happen with right-click too or just left-click?  Does it happen with any other programs?

Do the old menus that are shown actually "work" -- that is, can you click items on them? Or are they just graphics artifacts left on screen?

This could make a really good NANY 2013 application.

Post New Requests Here / Re: IDEA: Configurable Backup Utility

« Last post by mouser on December 16, 2012, 08:00 PM »

Personally I think this is a great idea, almost as if I came up with it myself.

This tool could be used to backup not just installed applications but portable applications.

With the xml config files, people could write and share config files for different programs which would specify which files need to be backed up from which directories.  I suggest that each config file result in its own output backup zip, with the created backup files saved with dated filenames, so for example "FindAndRunRobot_121612.zip".

One can imagine options for how many older backups to save, etc.

Once could imagine that the main UI might have a list of all the config files known, and then let use check and uncheck the config profiles to backup, etc.

Yikes, that's unpleasant!  Doesn't seem to happen here but I need to try it on win 7 and see if i can reproduce.

So here is the normal "official" NANY 2013 mug design, which remains basically unchanged for several years.


It's nice to have one or more alternative mug designs that people can choose instead of this classic one.

An alternative should be this same size (1662x600), and say the main text somewhere: "NANY 2013" and "New Apps for the New Year" and "DonationCoder.com".

But the image design, layout, contents, etc. can be anything.

It would really be great if Hally could make an alternative NANY mug image.. If she's willing I can send the image dimensions.. what should we ask for it to look like or say?

It's not currently possible in LaunchbarCommander; I'd like to add it but I don't have an easy way to do so currently, so I wouldn't hold my breath for it.

Living Room / Re: Gadget WEEKENDS

My gadget post for today is a water fountain for your pet.

The one I have is by Drinkwell but there are a bunch of different models and there is nothing special about this one:



I don't know why the cat loves drinking out of it so much, but she does -- something about the moving water is very appealing to cats (dogs too?).  They think they are drinking from a fresh flowing stream or some nonsense.

You do have to clean it every once in a while, but it clearly makes the cat happy so I think it's worth the trouble.

Welcome to the site Bob -- It sounds like you are making smart decisions.

The idea of people paying "bounties" to fund the addition of features has lots going for it and seems to be catching on as a way to fund software.   There have been a few threads about it on dc (see here and here), but we should discuss it more.

Living Room / Re: Poll: Is donationcoder an iOS unfriendly environment?

« Last post by mouser on December 13, 2012, 11:58 PM »

The way things turned out, we've always focused mainly on MS Windows software here, though the occasionally cross platform or other program comes up..

However, recently I've been thinking a lot about DC needing to be reinvigorated and revitalized, and I've been considering all sorts of possibilities, including having areas focused on Linux, Mobile, Web (Android, iOs), Mac, etc.  That's surely for another discussion thread and not this one, but thought it was worth a mention.

Any feature requests?

Anyone willing to try to create some nice looking bar themes?
I probably need to make a visual theme editor if i expect people to make custom bar themes huh?

I MIGHT make a visual theme editor/tester, so maybe don't bother working on visual theme until I decide?

Thanks for such a nice post Roger.  I keep meaning to add some options for how documents are launched that would fix this problems -- thank you for reminding me to do so -- I will try to do it this week.  Don't hesitate to remind me if I forget.

I was just about to post the following reply:

Screenshot Captor / Re: Feature request: sticky capture

« Last post by mouser on December 11, 2012, 08:13 AM »

that's a clever little idea.. I'll put it on the todo list.. seems easy enough to add and a useful feature.

i will note however that you could easily make a little tool in sc that opened the last image in a small standalone image viewer like "irfanview", which would serve nearly the same function.

Glad to see you participating in NANY this year, Jibz!
And yes, for anyone wondering, although this is a library for programmers, this qualifies as a NANY under our loose guidelines.

 

By the way, I love the way your bitbucket documentation page looks.  Very readable.
