Multi Photo Quotes / Re: Latest Multi Photo Quotes Release v1.36.01 - July 6, 2012

« Last post by mouser on July 06, 2012, 12:40 PM »

Minor Update:
v1.36.01 - July 6, 2012

• [BugFix] Improved startup time.
• [MinorChange] Clears screen as soon as it starts, before preparing first mosaic.
• [MinorChange] Much faster to exit immediately after starting up -- useful if screensaver kicks in when not wanted.
• [MinorChange] Use the 'n' key to advance to next arrangement of images/quotes in full screen mode (used to be spacebar); spacebar will exit if configured to exit on keypress.

General Software Discussion / Re: Another experiment in free software profit models from Bryan Lunduke

Nice find.

I still have a somewhat hard time wrapping my head around some of the FOSS money-raising approaches when the possibility of forking is always looming in the background.  Forking may be more of a theoretical concern than a practical one, and my problem may simply be that i let the theoretical longshot issues concern me too much, but it still concerns me.

UrlSnooper / Re: [IDEA] Sort URLs of streams by size

« Last post by mouser on July 05, 2012, 03:21 PM »

This would be a nice idea, but not really practical from URL Snooper standpoint, since URL Snooper does not identify which data is coming from which stream..

Strange, it found it for me:

as well as:
http://ht.cdn.turner.com/cnn/big//bestoftv/2012/07/05/exp-early-floating-metropolis.cnn.smil

as well as a bunch of swfs.

Are you using the latest version and did you remember to reload the page after url snooper was running?

Sorry for missing your first post Vaako -- i tried looking at urls while playing it but it looks like a flash-based movie player and i couldn't detect any stream addresses for it..

Web Link Captor / Re: request: limit searches to specified domains only

« Last post by mouser on July 03, 2012, 05:35 PM »

I'm embarassed to say that i don't really remember how to use Web Link Captor very much any more... DC member ewemoa may know how to use it better than me at this point.

It seemed like such a good idea for a program at the time, and coded in a combo of C++ and Python I thought would make it very extensible.  Any options you can pass to google to restrict search you should be able to pass to the google-configured searches in Web Link Captor.. Let me know what you figure out..

Maybe someone will think of a program i can turn WLC into that would actually be more useful than what it was created to do..

Clipboard Help+Spell / Re: Favorite clips not appearing in tray menu?

« Last post by mouser on July 02, 2012, 12:45 PM »

when I check both boxes only the first clip showed up in the favorites menu.  I assumed it just wasn't saving my 2nd selected clip

it would have probably saved the checkbox change as soon as you selected another clip or moved off the current clip.

glad to hear the workaround fix worked; i should have the bug corrected in the next release.

Clipboard Help+Spell / Re: Favorite clips not appearing in tray menu?

« Last post by mouser on July 02, 2012, 12:24 PM »

Ok I think i see the problem -- not sure why this hasn't been pointed out before by others..

There are 2 ways to mark a clip as a favorite -- one is to check the box in the column labeled "Favorite?" (which you have hidden in your grid) -- this method works and leaves the clip in its folder wherever else that may be.

The other way is to actually MOVE the clip into the My Favorites folder, without needing to check the "Favorite?" box.

It looks like the 2nd way is not showing the items in the quick paste submenu.

I will fix.

For now you can work around this by enabling the "Favorite?" column and checking the box for your 2 favorites.

Let me know if that works.

Clipboard Help+Spell / Re: Favorite clips not appearing in tray menu?

« Last post by mouser on July 02, 2012, 11:50 AM »

Strange..

Ok let's see, can you do this, in the grid, click the little button on the header of the grid to the left of the Title column, which will bring up a list of columns; enable the "Excerpt" column, and see what it shows for those favorites.

I'm thinking maybe the excerpt column is blank somehow.

If so, then at least we know what's happening, and I can add code to fall back to automatic excerpt when explicit excerpt is blank -- and we can also try to think why the excerpt is blank.

If the excerpt field is not blank for those favorites, then we have to figure out what else is going on.  CHS does have some options about how to display excerpts which could conceivably be causing this, but first things first.

Clipboard Help+Spell / Re: Lost the Time-Delayed Paste in Clipboard Help+Spell CHS

« Last post by mouser on July 02, 2012, 11:45 AM »

One option if you have an app that does not like to receive the Ctrl+V paste used by CHS,
is to bring up the quick+paste menu (ctrl+alt+Q by default), and then instead of just selecting the item to paste, hold SHIFT while you select it,
which will give you a new menu where you can choose to paste using the SENDKEYS method, which works in some applications (like dos commandline) that don't like Ctrl+V.

I could add an option for delayed paste too I suppose..

« Last post by mouser on July 02, 2012, 10:19 AM »

I don't think there is such a function -- perhaps you imagined it?

If you tell me a situation where you need it perhaps it's something i could add.

ok try this:

type something like: WEB-INF\jsp\common\component\article\hftn

that should be able to find
C:\sites\prod\core\web\src\main\webapp\WEB-INF\jsp\common\component\article\hftn\...

NOTE: Its important that you not start with \ and not use /

Yeah a tower defense game would be a natural choice, since those are the casual games i like.. just don't know if that's a larger project than i have an appetite for at this point -- was hoping for something smaller.  Though i could do a proof of concept one i suppose.

TFDocs / Re: plz reopen it

« Last post by mouser on July 01, 2012, 09:51 AM »

I don't think there's much point in trying to put the site back up at this time.. too much required in the way of maintenance and not enough interest.
But i could talk to dc member JavaJones who helped fund the project, and see if we can't open source the code in case others wanted to keep developing it.

Find And Run Robot / Re: Exclude specific file names from results using regex

« Last post by mouser on July 01, 2012, 09:40 AM »

Go to the options, and find the "Pattern Scoring" tab.
You'll notice that there are already patterns for some of the things you are mentioning.

If you score a pattern as -9999 it will not show up at all; a score of something like -200 will leave it still showing, but low down on the list.

I haven't heard or come up with a simple idea that seems really great to me yet, so I'm still looking.  Since my experiences with apple coding have all been negative in the past, and since i don't intend to spend too much time on ipad/iphone coding, I'm definitely looking for a small idea to get my feet wet -- a snack if you will.  I'm considering possibly making a small game.

LaunchBar Commander / Re: LBC won't backup and won't exit

« Last post by mouser on June 30, 2012, 12:43 PM »

Well... I guess I need a little more guidance about this since I'm having a hard time reproducing the problem.

Can you tell me what the actual error message you see is? and you are saying that it won't let you close the configuration dialog -- can you be more specific? Is the program unresponsive, or can you click the close button but nothing happens? Or do you mean that every time you try to close it, it wants to save the file and reports an error that it can't save it.

I suppose a secondary question is WHY its failing to save the file -- it sounds like maybe its trying to save someplace where you don't have permission, but that's really a separate issue.  I'd still like to understand what is going wrong with it not letting you close the dialog.

Find And Run Robot / Re: history to remember command parameters too

« Last post by mouser on June 30, 2012, 07:46 AM »

It would be great if the list of entries that appears by default when bringing up FARR was showing entries with any parameters passed and allow me to re-run it with the same parameters.

this is on my todo list, stay tuned.


although this is not quite the same, you can also try typing: historys

this shows the history of recent launches (and would show commandline options) that you browse through when you hit ctrl+up and ctrl+down.

My understanding is that you are completely out of luck and that there is no way to prevent people from doing this stuff.  People do it and pretend to be mailing from @donationcoder.com accounts all the time.  It's extremely frustrating.

I hope I am wrong -- looking forward to what the experts here say.

Find And Run Robot / Re: history to remember command parameters too

« Last post by mouser on June 28, 2012, 06:57 PM »

Longer answer later, but quick answer now:

You can scroll through recent launch history with ctrl+up and ctrl+down; this will recall any commandline params you add.

Of course this is only useful for recent history and is not a full answer to your request -- but it's a useful feature if you didn't know about it.
