I'm usually far more concerned about drawing the eye to the appropriate places, and if I have to use clashing girly pastel colors to get the proper effect, I will.Your underwear must be something to see!-superboyac (October 17, 2011, 05:24 PM)
I'm not sure I'd want to try getting a virus out of a bacterial hard drive.Some manufacturers are keeping up. Coming soon the WD Black... death.-Stoic Joker (October 17, 2011, 06:10 PM)
Requires some breakthrough in solid-state memory technology - it's still way too expensiveIt is coming down in price reasonably quickly. Round here a 240GB SSD runs just under $300. Not cheap but not prohibitive either. Breakthroughs like Graphene unlock huge potential.-f0dder (October 17, 2011, 02:15 PM)
But editorial review - having a knowledgeable and literate person…-40hz
I have actually thought about packing the zip-compatible installs in a way such that if you unpacked the files, it would start by default in portable mode -- i should do that.
As for the other thing -- unfortunately it doesn't look like running portably helps this weird locked database file problem..-mouser (October 13, 2011, 02:37 PM)
That's more or less why I asked for the STDIN/STDOUT alternative.The more access points the better-rjbull (October 13, 2011, 02:39 PM)
That works very nicely and hands stuff out for processing by an editor that has many years' worth of Rexx macros built into it.-cranioscopical (October 10, 2011, 05:39 PM)
I'm not sure I follow you. I thought the point of this kind of tool was to avoid using the editor itself, while gaining extra benefit from scripts already written for it. That is, instead of loading your editor, you'd run your scripts with a free-standing REXX interpreter via CHS. Is that what you meant?-rjbull (October 13, 2011, 09:50 AM)
[having said that -- i think the programmers who hang out on DC should consider it their duty to release something; if you miss 2 years in a row you will receive a black mark from Cody]So don't look up!-mouser (October 13, 2011, 10:20 AM)
The idea would be to create all the graphics for the buttons in one large single background image - all carefully arranged, of course, so that the positions matched the transparent buttons above.You're thinking of something like a background prepared from a psd with one 'icons' layer and another layer (or multiple layers) with only the text above that? That locks out multiple-state buttons but that doesn't matter a lot to me. Sometimes I'd like to see 'down' or 'up' but usually it's obvious from context.-nudone (October 11, 2011, 03:51 PM)
i know it is an image : because if it were text i could select all the text which it didn't happen here-shadowman (September 02, 2011, 08:07 AM)
Just out of curiosity, did you reboot after making the copy??Thanks for chiming in. You betcha I rebooted.-Stoic Joker (October 11, 2011, 11:39 AM)
(Hint: I'm pondering the cause of the unspecified Raw Port entry in the SS).I've been carrying that on the books for quite some time.
). I don't understand why it happened — did the OS treat the Canon initially as a network printer? — and I'm too idle to rip out the whole thing and go round yet again in order to research it. Also, some of the universal printer drivers try to be an all in one single driver that handles all print devices by manufacturer X ... Which could be why the Canon(s) grouped-up on you.Interesting. Tomos has the same grouping with his Canon but I've seen that others with other makes have the same phenomenon; dk if those are using the type of 'universal brand' driver to which you refer.
FWIW, I'm pretty sure I used the "Add a new printer" method for this (I was unable to make a copy of the printer). It showed same as your's above - in sub-menu under printers, but as seperate printer in print dialogue. But it *does* work here.Hmm… that rather confirms what I suspected, that the problem exists between the chair and the keyboard.
Again FWIW also with a Canon printer - connected per usb cable.-tomos (October 11, 2011, 04:21 AM)
Is it a wrieless printer or are you connecting with a USB cable?It's both but I use USB-Carol Haynes (October 11, 2011, 04:05 AM)
If it is a USB cable have you tried clicking Add a new printer and adding a new copy of that printer?I have
Not sure how you can do that with a network printer (Windows seems to just recognise that it is the same printer).I'll try something different with printui (viz. printui /il but pointing that at a fresh copy of the driver, not the copy that's installed)
Does your printer driver not have a built-in preset or setting memory management function? Or do you just want to make it a little quicker to access something like that?Thanks for the response; the latter.
