General Software Discussion / Re: One Key Popup for an Office phone directory

Well, this sound just like the type of challenge I could use for NANY2016, would that be allright for you, or do you need it, like, 'yesterday'?
Planning would be to start sometime next week and have an alpha-version in a couple of days.

agree for the move, he's completely right, as for ZA, am using the free edition.
-BigBasterd (October 06, 2015, 07:59 PM)

Got any specific reasons to use ZA instead of the built-in Windows Firewall?
I've seen no need or reasons to use ZA ever since I dropped Vista in favor of Windows 7...

For anonymous talk(s), you should probably use Skype, not whatsapp.

Get a cheap prepaid number, and connect it to a web client or a low-cost phone. There are several manuals/howto's online to set that web client stuff up.
For whatsapp to work the other party needs to know your number, or they can't reach/connect you.

General Software Discussion / Re: macro to edit a .txt file?
« Last post by Ath on September 30, 2015, 03:40 PM »
PS - Is there a way to increase the text body size limit to, say, 50 pages of text?
I froze up SedTester with a 13 page text file size.
-bit (September 30, 2015, 01:50 AM)
Well, I didn't test it witth that kind of sizes, as it is intended as a tool for testing and 'explaining' sed expressions.
But it does send the input text to a temp-file and hands that to the external sed.exe, redirecting the output back into SedTester. That last action could cause issues, so I'll investigate that, and fix where needed.

You also need to escape the quote (\") to have them removed.

I was referring to a Linux or DOS (with sed added) command-line, not to SedTester.

In SedTester you'd have to only paste the quoted part in the SED expression field: s/[0-9"]//g
and check the -r checkbox
Like this (I pasted the Input text from AbteriX' post):

« Last post by Ath on September 29, 2015, 10:17 AM »
Well, I didn't say sed was easy ;D

You'd get the desired result by using this command-line:
Code: Text [Select]
  1. sed -r -e 's/[0-9"]//g' input-file >output-file
Or optionally add the -i parameter and remove the '>output-file' part to do a destructive, in-place, replacement in multiple input-files but not keeping the original file(s).

At last a useful suggestion. ;D

I'd like to confirm that just keeping the CHS acronym sounds like the best way to go, there is virtually no marketing budget, so no room for smartass marketeers to find overpriced and still useless new names or logos. :up:

I seem to remember that the list of threads within a forum had a nest/previous page link. It may have fallen off during the migration, or maybe it has to be added like the prev/next links on the thread-post pages?

Well, this is another reason I'll probably never get onto par with the Jetbrains/IntelliJ IDE's and their business-model. Their way of thinking is about 90 degrees opposit to mine :huh: both commercially, and as a developer, and in another universe.

PBOL / Re: Latest Progress Bars of Life - Version 2.03 - May 16, 2014
« Last post by Ath on September 10, 2015, 10:02 AM »
Well, it is actually a feature of the Classic Windows controls, as used by all Windows (standard) programs and many, many applications until Windows Vista and .NET applications became some of the Windows standard tools.

I spotted a minor bug (or feature?) in the latest version. Ampersand doesn't get rendered in an item name. Instead, the next character gets underlined, when displayed as a bar title.
-dr_andus (September 09, 2015, 06:03 AM)

Try putting 2 of em like &&.  I think that can fix it if I understand what you want.
-hamradio (September 09, 2015, 05:09 PM)
That is the documented way of 'assigning' hotkeys (alt-<char>) to controls in applications, and the documented way to have it display an actual & in there is to double it.
I can only assume it's a feature of PBOL, not a bug, as this is fully supported by the Borland C++ runtime (for the 'Classic' Win32 API) that PBOL is running on.

Ever since viewing the test-dc and now the actual new dc, I'm trying to convince myself that the font used is 1 or maybe even 2 points smaller than the old dc forum. Maybe mouser can compare the css/settings?

Well, then thoroughly check out the mouse/track-pad as my Lenovo (y580) has a really crappy one, when pressing one of the 'buttons' the mouse moves because you're touching the touch-pad...
The Full-HD screen is quite good though.

Regardless of whether I change the hyperlinks to be bold or not, i have used a different color for buddies on memberlist so they should show up differently -- so that should solve that problem.

We still need to decide whether to keep hyperlinks bolded (see screenshots to compare).
-mouser (September 07, 2015, 06:52 AM)
I can see that now, and I do like it, though it may need a little fine-tuning later.

The blue color I mentioned before seems to be assigned to (sub-)board moderators, like lanux128, Carol Haynes and app103. I hadn't recognized that before :-[

Was making all hyperlinks bold chosen to get larger message-titles?, as those are also hyperlinks. I expect those would have their own css style.

Non-bold hyperlinks could be somewhat problematic in trying to hit the now thinner links when working on a small device, like a phone or tablet, can't test that currently :(
