Living Room / Re: Anyone actually use rewriteable media?
« Last post by crono on April 26, 2006, 04:12 PM »
I use rewriteable medias sometimes for some backupjobs - but I use DVD-RAM and not DVD+/-RW. I never had any problem with DVD-RAM Media, but due to the higher costs (5 RAMs about 30 Euro) I consider buying (another) external HDD...

General Software Discussion / Your favourite Windows Shell Enhancements
« Last post by crono on April 13, 2006, 08:00 PM »
Hi,

just wanna know your favourite Windows Shell Enhancements. Windows Shell Enhancement are tools which integrate directly in the Windows Explorer. I have only running 3 on my machine but I find them tremendously useful.

1) PixVue (http://www.pixvue.com/) - let you add and edit EXIF and ITPC Data directly through the Explorer. After the Installation the Explorer is capable to read such metadata and displays it in the "details" view - so you can sort images by their keyword for example. PixVue offers even more functions such as "Galleries" and Slideshows...

2) FirmTools ShellExtension (http://free.firmtool....com/shellextension/) for displaying image previews in the contextmenu (usefull when you have dozens of images laying around on your desktop)

3) NTTools - offering "CopyFilename" and "Open Comandline here" functions - very very handy :)

I think there are a lot of other Extensions out there - which do you know, and / or use?


ciao

Hi,

have you considered to do C++ with the .net Framework (=Visual C++ 7)? Windowsforms can be very powerfull and nice to use. You also get the benefit of the "managed code" aproach. If you don't going to use .Net you should definitely give Qt (http://www.trolltech.com) a try :)

Have you tried some of the "Widget" engines?

http://widgets.yahoo.com/
--> http://widgets.yahoo...iew.php?widget=38227

The new Version of Opera comes also with such an engine:
http://my.opera.com/...y/customize/widgets/

There are a lot more engines out there - German C't magazin had an overview article a few month ago - if I'm at home I could search it - if someone is interested...

BTW. this would be a great topic for a Review :)

General Software Discussion / Searching a good Screenrecorder
« Last post by crono on March 29, 2006, 05:38 AM »
Hi,

last weekend I wrote about 45 pages documentation on a Typo3 project with tons of screenshots. It took me the whole Saturday and Sunday. It has taken only 1 - 2 hours, if I had the chance to record me steps through the Interface. Earlier this week I found a free version of Camista Screen Recorder (an old version) which doesn't meet me requires. I surfed around the web and found TurboDemo which looks great, but costs a gigantic amount of money ;). So the question is: Do you know any Screenrecorder with a reasonable price, which produces interactive Flash Movies and allowes me to annotate the Clicks?

thanks in advance

bye

You can rightclick on the Keyboard (on an empty spot) to change the reaction time. But I found no way to change the [win] key to something else...

43MB? Hmmm... at my PC it uses "only" 19 MB ram (with a lot of Shortcuts assigned). I personally don't mind the 20 MB, as I upgraded my machine to 2GB RAM recently ;D

You don't have to hold down windowskey for 5 seconds in your daily work. This must be only done for configurations or if you forgot your shortcuts . If you know your shortcuts you can use them like any other Windows-Shortcut :) If I have to hold the Key for 5 seconds everytime I use it, I wouldnt  call it Shortcut ;)

Tried Notepad++ ? http://notepad-plus.sf.net

Sure - it's based on the same component (Scintilla) - it is a very cool Editor, but I like Scite better - cant say why - it's a feeling ;)

General Software Discussion / Free (and opensource) Hotkey Tool - Tip!
« Last post by crono on March 09, 2006, 08:21 AM »
Hi,

today (30 min ago) I found a really cool Hotkey Tool. Check out http://www.qliner.com/hotkeys/ ( http://qlinerhotkeys.sourceforge.net/ )

I love the concept of assigning Hotkeys to the [win]+X Button. Holding [win] for 5 Seconds will bring up a Software Keyboard with all assigned Shotcuts. I instantly fell in love with this feature :-). I'm going to write (at least a mini) Review when I gained more "hands-on" experience with the tool... The coolest thing since Screenshot Captor  :-*

really? I have searched via Google about 45 minutes and couldn't find any free commandline screeenshot capture app! I only found some for about 40 $... Maybe Im using the wrong search terms ^^

Screenshot Captor / IDEA: Add Commandline Support
« Last post by crono on December 29, 2005, 08:59 AM »
Hi Mouser,

what do you think of adding some commandline options to SC? It would be nice to capture sreenshots via a batch file. Nothing to complicated - just something like

[Select]
ScreenshotCaptor.exe -f"screenshot1.jpg"

for taking and saving the screenshot. I think this should be really easy to implement and would be very usefull. I think of building an application like "Browsershots (http://browsershots.org)" on a remote Win98 system...

I use the following extensions:


  • del.icio.us 0.5.9 - del.icio.us is a social bookmarks manager. It allows you to easily add sites you like to your personal collection of links, to categorize those sites with keywords, and to share your collection not only between your own browsers and machines, but also with others.
  • FlashGot 0.5.9.97 - Enables Firefox, Mozilla Suite, Netscape and Thunderbird to handle single and massive ("all" and "selection") downloads using the most popular external download managers for Windows, Mac OS X, Linux and FreeBSD (dozens currently supported, see Extension's Home Page for details). FlashGot offers also a Build Gallery functionality which helps to synthetize full media galleries in one page, from serial contents originally scattered on several pages, for easy and fast "download all".
  • ListZilla 0.7 - Outputs an alphabetical list of extensions to a text, vB code, or HTML file. You read such a list right now ;)
  • PDF Download 0.5.1.2 - Allows to choose whether you want to view a PDF file inside the browser (as PDF or HTML) or you want to download it!
  • Plain Text to Link 1.4.2 - Manages highlighted Text with a right click
  • ScrapBook 0.17.0 - This extension helps you to save Web pages and easily manage collections.
  • Screen grab! 0.6 - Takes a screen shot using Java. - Absolute killer extension for WebDevelopers
  • Tabbrowser Preferences 1.2.8.7 - Enhances control over some aspects of tabbed browsing.
  • Viamatic foXpose 0.2 - Click on the icon in the status bar to view all the browser windows with a single click.
  • ViewSourceWith 0.0.7.4 - Show Source in an external editor
  • Web Developer 0.9.4 - Adds a menu and a toolbar with various web developer tools.


Geasemonkey is still missing support for 1.5 beta2 :(

If you dont want to burn the images, you can simply use DaemonTools (http://www.daemon-tools.cc) to mount the *.img - Images as "virtual CD Drives".  The installation will run from this virtual drive without problems :)
