The latest version of Vivaldi which uses Chromium for me shows: 72.0.3626.122

-hamradio (March 07, 2019, 09:53 AM)

Do a manual update from the "Help > Check for Updates..." menu item.  Latest Chromium version is 73.0.3683.67.

-skwire (March 07, 2019, 11:24 AM)

Vivaldi is a little behind in the Chromium versions I just wanted to see if it was above the zero-day version.

As it is why I said what I did and also what deo said later...

For Vivaldi you can do: vivaldi://settings/help

The latest version of Vivaldi which uses Chromium for me shows: 72.0.3626.122

Manual update tells me I'm on the latest version of Vivaldi (2.3.1440.60), where Help -> About tells me it's using Chrome/72.0.3626.122.

Hi there :]

I only tested the beta you PMed me a link to a little for now as I'm home this week, but it seems to be working fine.

I would have preferred if the user could actually link to the .exe (or a .dll), and also be able to chose which icon to select when there are several inside of it (just like when modifying a shortcut from Windows), instead of just automatically extracting the first icon, but it's still an improvement over the previous versions where any icon had to already be extracted somewhere

-ConstanceJill (January 10, 2019, 05:07 AM)

Heres a little more of an explanation of why I got it doing what it is with the beta I let you try...

Loading from the executable directly each launch of CRAP could add second(s) to the load of program is one reason I am trying to keep it as images. (See footnote below.) Especially since I have not figured out the way currently for C Sharp to do as is possible with shortcuts, which would allow choosing of icons. I could let it load the default icons from the program each time, but it is essentially the same exact ones I am saving which also reduces the load time of CRAP initially. I have looked briefly...so if I figure out how to do as with shortcuts and other programs I will explore adding that method more at that time.

Footnote: I got both methods in Portable Extension Warlock. The difference is noticeable in my opinion.

Up!

Would it be possible to make it so that, when creating a new button, the icon can be retrieved from / linked directly to an .EXE or .DLL file (like in Windows shorcuts) ?

-ConstanceJill (December 07, 2018, 07:24 AM)

Okay...I think I will be able to do exe for sure by attempting to extract and save the icon in an icons folder in 3 different sizes. (Attempting sizes of 32x32, 24x24, 16x16).

With that said I am close to having it implemented and ready to go since I am reusing some code from another one of my apps.

It is suppose to default to 32x32 and work down as well as determine if any valid icons exist that it can get and if not will ask you to try again.

N.A.N.Y. 2019 / Re: NANY 2019 Release: Assignments Warlock

« Last post by hamradio on January 08, 2019, 10:19 PM »

I think this tool is for creating a printout or Web page of the work assignments that you will teach for the week. Not necessarily the time period.
It is something you can definitely do in other ways but this program is very lightweight and simple.
So for example;

Math:
1/7 - Simple fractions
1/8 - Integers
1/9 - Systems of Equations
Etc..
You can add more info to each line as the summary for the lesson.
Hope this helps.

-MichaelWa (January 07, 2019, 11:58 AM)

Thank you MichaelWa for helping while I was busy.

[ Invalid Attachment ]

I am a teacher !
I don't understand what is meant by "assignments for each day of the week for each class you teach at your school".
The timetable ?
 

I put a screenshot

-Contro (January 06, 2019, 01:14 PM)

Anyways...

Basically what MichaelWa said...as you can add all the subjects you teach and under each subject put the assignments for the week that you will be teaching in class and/or homework assignments and display online and/or print for the students.  You save each week and the default week is the current week, but you can also switch week days pretty fast to get to the week you want. For each week you should start with a blank form.

Note: I would be open to possibly building in a template based system for the html design if enough thinks it would be useful.

TIP If you didn't figure it out unchecking a day will disable it. Then to the left of where you add/remove subjects you may check that to automatically mark em as a student holiday or leave unchecked to just not display that day.

General Software Discussion / Re: Removing near-duplicate rows in Filemon / Process Monitor to more easily analyze

« Last post by hamradio on December 21, 2018, 11:48 AM »

Tried to post this to SuperUser, and even offered a bounty, but didn't get much luck.

I am looking for a Filemon/Procmon type program which has better filtering and more importantly, allows you omit near-duplicate lines from being logged. There can be hundreds or thousands of these rows, and they really complicate trying to find other transactions.

For example, take a look at this image. I don't want to see Irfanview updating its .ini file 1 zillion times, specifying every single time it locks, queries, reads, writes, unlocks, or whatever else it apparently wants to do.

Process Monitor is apparently not up to the job, but maybe there's similar software which can perform this fundamental task?

Have you tried the filters from the filter menu to filter what you do not want shown?

If you need to use an older version of mIRC, the oldest version we can recommend, that includes security fixes up to that version, is mIRC v6.35 and can be downloaded here. Please note that this older version is no longer being updated.

General Software Discussion / QGIS - A Free and Open Source Geographic Information System

« Last post by hamradio on June 25, 2018, 09:53 PM »

First let me begin by saying I am in no way affiliated with QGIS...Now that said...

I've been playing around with QGIS recently.  It seem's to do a great job with GIS related tools and thought I would share a weather map I created with several different shapefiles that are found online.

Here is one I did tonight of storm reports in the USA in the last 24 hours from the time I created it.


Note: Click to open thumb, then right click and open image in a new tab and zoom for the full detail of it.

As for the program website you can find it @ https://www.qgis.org/en/site/

The data for that one came from IEM @ http://mesonet.agron.iastate.edu/GIS/.

Anyone else heard of/used it and have any thoughts of their own to share?

Post New Requests Here / Re: taskbar/menu bar appearing on left of screen

« Last post by hamradio on May 08, 2018, 06:26 PM »

Hi there! I LOVE Screenshot Captor!!  Just having an issue with the taskbar (menu bar?  like "File/Edit/Capture...etc").  On my Desktop PC, it's been appearing on the left for some time, between the main screen and the screenshot panel.  On my laptop, it appears at the top, where I want it.  How can I get it to change so it appears at the top? 

On PC, I've got v. 4.21.1.  On laptop, I have 4.29.0 (latest), in case it makes a difference -- speaking of which, how do I upgrade the one on my PC to the latest version?

-KatFisch999 (May 08, 2018, 05:03 PM)

Just another Screenshot Captor user, but try clicking near the top of it and while holding mouse button down drag to the top before the title bar.  Seems to work for me to move it like that and back.

Developer's Corner / Re: How to get started with Python and OpenCV?

« Last post by hamradio on May 08, 2018, 04:22 PM »

This is one of those cases where I was asking for something specific (OpenCV+Python) when I really should have asked about OCR in general and seen what knowledge people had on the subject.

As mentioned in the OP, I wanted something that would allow me to analyze a screenshot for certain words and values and then make decisions based on that. It didn't necessarily have to be with OpenCV or Python. That was just the only way I knew of that made such an idea possible.

I'm much more familiar with C# and .NET so I decided to look for some sort of OpenCV wrapper that would allow me to program in C#. I found some, but while researching the topic further, I discovered that Microsoft has a Computer Vision library built in to the UWP SDK. So I can just have a line near the top of my code saying:

Code: C# [Select]

1. using Windows.Media.Ocr;

And voila! I've got OCR in my C# code.

Of course, this also means that I need to build/deploy a UWP app, which I'm also not very familiar with, but at least it's using a language and environment I'm familiar with.


All that said, while experimenting with the Windows OCR, my immediate need for this whole project was accidentally fulfilled so I haven't been pursuing it at the moment. But if/when I pick it up again I'll probably start with UWP and if that doesn't work then I may look more into OpenCV again.

Thanks!

-Deozaan (May 08, 2018, 04:02 PM)

This OpenCV wrapper I found looks pretty good to me and I might have to make note to use it at some point down the road too: http://www.emgu.com/.../index.php/Main_Page

A review I stumbled across...

Thanks to a free software called Color Warlock, now you do not have to download these HTML color code charts from the internet. Rather you can create your own color charts on your own PC at the click of a button. Color Warlock shows a list of colors as you launch the program. These colors are displayed in small boxes of respective colors, along with the respective RGB color codes and the hex color codes (also called the HTML color codes).

Yeah, it's OK

By the way there's a very minor issue: while the tooltip which appears when hovering the mouse over a button does show the command as it will be ran (removing whitespace at the beginning and end), the one that appears in the status bar does not.

-ConstanceJill (April 16, 2018, 03:55 AM)

Yes, that would be the idea: only ignore those at the beginning and end, since those are likely to be introduced by mistake when copying and pasting.
Thanks a lot!

Edit: now that I think a bit more about it, I can't quite see any reason not to ignore whitespace as long as it's only at the beginning and end of the variable string but... anyway, it's still good to have the option, I guess

-ConstanceJill (April 13, 2018, 02:26 PM)

Hope the new checkbox layout is okay for you as well. If not I can change them around, but they all wouldn't fit on the top line so I moved the variable one's to the middle bottom.
