copy is broken here (with 'Action' selected). Doesnt work with Ctrl+C nor via context menu.
Didnt work in previous version either - I know it worked a short while back, but not sure which version (2 or 3 back?).
-tomos (January 21, 2015, 08:44 AM)

Odd, it seems to work here for me on v1.0.9.  Just to clarify, you're talking about manipulating entries in the Actions list, right?  Like this:

I hadn't even thought to look for something that wasn't a calendar, but I think that would probably work fine.
Thanks!

Many thanks.  :up: Great piece of software.
I use it in combination with all my writing pograms, and it spices up their canvas nicely.
The -nosetwall parameter and the transparency slider are outstanding. Great stuff.  :Thmbsup:

You're very welcome.  I always find it interesting to learn how folks use different programs.   :D

My only wish left: An exception list, to exclude my browser and file manager from being affected.

Lucidity overlays a transparent image across your entire desktop.  That is, it does not apply the effect individually to each application window.

What is the exact folder path that you're running Splat from?

Would you mind trying this interim build and see if it fixes both issues?

Would a stop audio file action where you could add a wait # of seconds before the stop action to tell it how many seconds it should play for work?...or a couple vars with the play file action that allows you to specify start and end time of the play based on how long the sound is.
-hamradio (January 15, 2015, 11:44 AM)

Good idea.  However, there won't be a separate "seconds to wait" option for the Audio action since you can already insert a wait using the Wait/delay action.

I do have a suggestion, though.
What if you don't want a hotkey for the profile?  I think there should be an option for "none" in the hotkey editor.
-BGM (January 14, 2015, 10:50 PM)

Right-click the profile and select "Clear launch hotkey" from the menu.

Also, if you click on the hotkey column and push F2, I think it should open the hotkey editor.
-BGM (January 14, 2015, 10:50 PM)

Traditionally, F2 is used for renaming and will remain so in Splat.  That said, a different hotkey is easy to add.  F4, perhaps?

Another idea; I would want to see a place for a description for the profile.  Maybe a third column in the profile listview or better, an edit panel that changed depending on which profile you click on.
-BGM (January 14, 2015, 10:50 PM)

Hmmm...not sold on this idea.

One more - another column in the action listview for description.
-BGM (January 14, 2015, 10:50 PM)

I've tried to make the Action column very descriptive based on parameters set.  Is there really a need for another description-related column?  Honest question...I'm not trying to be a hard-ass.  It's just that I want to keep Splat's interface as simple as possible.  I like applications that don't REQUIRE you read a help file to figure out.  Therefore, I try to write all my apps with this paradigm in mind.

And it would be very convenient to be able to stop any sound-clip playing, especially if you either have it wait to finish playing, or have selected a very long sound-clip.
-Ath (January 15, 2015, 01:40 AM)

Yes, a playing sound can be stopped.  So, the only problem here is "how" do you stop it?  Via hotkey?  A button on the main form?  I'm not sure I'm happy with either.  I need to think about this some more.

Jody, with regards to the checkboxes:
The state of the checkboxes would be saved to the settings file so when you close the program and reopen it, you can see which tasks have been completed.  It would make splat into sort of an executable todo list.
-BGM (January 14, 2015, 08:41 AM)

Hmmm...I currently don't want to add this sort of handling to Splat.  I'll add it to my requests list, though.  In the meantime:

v1.0.4 - 2015-01-14
    + Ctrl+Enter now launches the selected profile when the Splat window is
      focused.  (Thanks, tomos)
    + Shift+Enter now runs any selected entries.  Useful for testing.  (Thanks,
      tomos)
    + Environment vars are now supported in the arguments and working directory
      fields.  (Thanks, lujomu)
    + Added "Play audio file" action.  (Thanks, lujomu)
    * The Profiles index file is now saved more often.  (Thanks, TaoPhoenix)
    ! Application icons should now work if environment variables are used in the
      path.  (Thanks, lujomu)

Lots of good changes.  Thank you, all, for testing.

You're welcome, and welcome to the DonationCoder site.   :up:

It might be worth it to have a wrapper in a more robust language for tasks like this that would offload the actual long running task to a background thread...  would that be helpful?
-wraith808 (January 14, 2015, 12:07 PM)

But I'm guessing this new version has portions of Trout mashed into it.
-TaoPhoenix (January 13, 2015, 10:29 PM)

Actually, no.  Trout uses the BASS library.  Splat's audio handling just uses the simple SoundPlay command in AHK.

So, you will be responsible for at least $500 of increased productivity
-TaoPhoenix (January 13, 2015, 10:29 PM)

Great.  Said persons can donate the aforementioned $500 to me and make my day.   :P

Jody, I made a similar program in autohotkey to use for provisioning computers.
(see attachment in previous post)
-BGM (January 13, 2015, 11:22 PM)

That looks great (and very releaseable).   :D

So, what about adding checkboxes to splat?
-BGM (January 13, 2015, 11:22 PM)

I'm not sure what purpose this would serve because the current launch log serves a similar purpose, no?

Environment variables now do work in target, arguments and working directory field and the app icons are also displayed properly! Perfect!  :Thmbsup:
'Play audio file' action does work great and certainly makes things easier and neater!

Just uploaded v1.0.3 build 6 which adds a "Play audio file" action.   :D  There is an additional "wait for audio file to finish playing before continuing" option associated with this action.  Please test and let me know if it all functions properly.  I'll check back in the morning.
