PublicDomainVic / Re: Limitpad - Notepad highlighting text after a configurable limit (v0.1.0)
« Last post by Ath on April 21, 2021, 12:33 AM »
add password generator please
-KodeZwerg (April 20, 2021, 04:31 PM)

Why would you need that to write a text? There are already roughly 1 million password generators (or more), rich and poor, why try to add one where (nearly) nobody needs one?

This should be a nice, single purpose tool, please don't add bloatware to it.

General Software Discussion / Re: How to connect to GitLab using SourceTree?
« Last post by Ath on April 13, 2021, 01:21 PM »
Not sure what kind of tooling/IDE you use for development, but I've been very content using VSCode with the Gitlens plugin. Admittedly, I'm 'only' using it with Github (and TFS/AzureDevOps-Git at work), but Gitlab sounds no more than natural to also being supported.

When you're using the Visual Studio IDE, there is the official Gitlab extension available in the marketplace, adding full Gitlab support to VS20xx.

As a direct alternative to SourceTree, Gitkraken is, AFAICS, free for open source Github and Gitlab repo's, so that could also be an option.

And then there's the 'Classic' TortoiseGIT extension for Windows Explorer, quite similar to TortoiseHg and TortoiseSVN.

On a UHD monitor, URLister on left half of screen, browser (Edge) on right half, both stay open.  I close tabs as needed, after a number of URLs have been opened, via URLister.

Now that you have reported these kind of issues with multiple applications, I suspect there is something not up to par with your graphics card drivers or monitor setup.

Post New Requests Here / Re: [IDEA] Notepad: Highlight all text after X number of characters/words
« Last post by Ath on February 28, 2021, 12:19 PM »
Phrase was "meet at 9.7 ppl join"
You see, the dot seperates two sentences and is not meant as fraction seperator in that phrase.
-KodeZwerg (February 28, 2021, 10:44 AM)
That is a syntax error. After the period should either be a space or a new-line.
That's one of thre reasons I wrote:
replace all CR's and LF's with a space,

The 9.7 aint a value, its two values.
-KodeZwerg (February 28, 2021, 08:05 AM)
That is dependent on the current Locale. For US locale it is a single number (with fraction) for DE/NL it's an invalid number (thousands separator but not long enough) or two numbers.

According to the specs, defined by vevola, it's better to only use space as a separator, and not care about letters, digits or special characters.

My problem for now is 'how to make differences between real words and no words that are between spaces/quotes/point or comma terminated etc etc etc'
-KodeZwerg (February 28, 2021, 06:58 AM)

I'd replace all CR's and LF's with a space, then reduce any duplicate spaces to single space, trim leading and trailing spaces off and use one of these solutions (Depending on Delphi version used) to split the string into an array, then get the length of that array/list for the number of words.

« Last post by Ath on January 22, 2021, 07:49 AM »
A few questions to ask yourself:
- How is your computer connected to your router? (Some Wifi connections are really slow, wired is king!)
- Is your router (or in fact the entire chain from signal entrance into the build up to the computer) capable of handling the increased speed? (Some have a WAN port with only 100 MBit/s...) (Seems to be covered)

you should be able to connect to it using Remote Desktop Protocol
-ConstanceJill (January 22, 2021, 12:46 AM)
There are enough free software tools, already mentioned above, that don't need a Windows Pro license.

Assuming the OP hasn't responded for a couple of days, he may already have a solution in place, and just forgot to mention that here. :-\

I was thinking a direct connection via a cable
-kalos (January 18, 2021, 02:40 PM)

Well, assuming both laptops have an ethernet connector (though that's less and less common for consumer laptops these days), you can connect both to the same router using a cat5e or cat6 cable and have the benefit of the high speed connection for both the connection between the laptops, and the maximum internet speed attainable. The only connection available that's (potentially) faster than ethernet (assuming you have a router with 1 GBit/s ports) is a Wifi 6 connection using 4 antennas on all equipment, but there are not too many laptops providing that kind of wifi setup.

Living Room / Re: Does this gadget exist? Physical light-up bulb with programmable triggers
« Last post by Ath on January 14, 2021, 10:06 AM »
Interesting concept :up:

I think it will require at least 2 parts:
  • Computer-side that's monitoring the chat, YouTube counter or whatever
  • Hardware to switch the bulb

For the hardware, many ESP based devices are available, like Sonoff S20/S26 or Shelly, but it may need a firmware replacement as the regular API isn't that easy. I'm currently involved in the development of ESPEasy, that is very usable on ESP8266 and ESP32 based devices. With simple http GET requests you can control such device, but, some assembly required.

I know that a few years back, many developers set up lava lamps to show the commit pre-checks and build results of their CI/CD pipelines, not sure if that is still used much, as it requires physical availability of people to see the lights. Nowadays, with most of development wfh/remote there must be other ways ;D

Screenshot Captor / Re: Can Settings be Exported to an ini File?
« Last post by Ath on January 10, 2021, 06:29 AM »
Settings for the regularly installed Screenshot Captor are saved in an .ini file, in directory C:\Users\YOURACCOUNTNAME\Documents\DonationCoder\ScreenshotCaptor, and is called, surprisingly, ScreenshotCaptor.ini
For a portable install it is normally written in the directory where Screenshot Captor is run from. (Unless you wrote in that file where to save the settings, but then you of course would know where that is ;))

So any normal backup of your Documents folder, or portable applications folder, should restore your settings (haven't re-done my settings in ages, they just moved with me on several computer replacements).

« Last post by Ath on January 01, 2021, 07:25 AM »
Ah, yes, just over 3 years ago I showed the then new, used VW Golf 5 I bought to commute to my then new job.
Only a year ago, I traded that one in for a newer model, again used, VW Golf 7.
It has all kinds of luxury (at least a lot more than the Golf 5 :D), like full leather interior, heated seats, adaptive cruise-control, key-less entry and go and a great audio system.

These are a few of the promo photo's from the garage I bought it from:

I've not been using it much since March, of course, so it'll probably stay in the family for a long time :)

Installation: Hardware
  • Obtain the ESP controller
  • Connect it to the computer, you may need drivers for the USB to Serial bridge installed on the ESP...
  • Download ESPEasy software from https://github.com/l...lit/ESPEasy/releases (pick the desired download from the Assets expander, ESP32 or ESP82xx)
  • Unpack the zip file to an empty folder
  • When on Windows:
  • Run ESP.Easy.Flasher (yes, it requires admin privileges because of using the COM port directly)
  • Select a bin with 'display' in the name (available since 20201227 release) and matching with the flash size (4M1M for ESP8266 or 4M316k for ESP32) For ESP32 pick the one with 'factory' in the name for initial upload, for later OTA updates use the one without 'factory'
  • Flash to the device (ESP8266 will be set to flash-mode by the flasher, ESP32 must be set to flash-mode by holding the BOOT button, short press EN, then release BOOT)
  • After flashing is complete: Connect to the ESPEasy accesspoint it provides, log in using password configesp it/when asked, and connect it to the desired Wifi accesspoint. Then the unit will reboot. It should display the obtained ip-address after connection, where you can point your browser at
  • There are a lot of settings to be made, give it an appropriate name and unit number (Config tab), to have the current time by enabling NTP (Tools/Advanced, no time server needs to be set) it will fetch from the standard pool, based on the geo-location and DST set.
  • Connect the display to the ESP, and optionally also the touchscreen when available

  • Add on the Devices tab a Display - TFT 2.4 inches ILI9341... or Display - eInk with Lolin ePaper screen...
    Screenshot - 31_12_2020 , 15_32_29.png
    (I do not own an eInk display, so no example)
  • Enable the display and set up according to hardware connections
  • Optional: Add on the Devices tab a Touch - XPT2046 on a TFT Display... (Documentation for setting up can be found here)
  • Optional: Add on the Devices tab a Generic - Dummy Device and set up like this:
    Screenshot - 31_12_2020 , 17_12_53.png
  • When the Dummy Device is setup, these names should be set in the zever2tft.json file: "espeasy_task": "Variables" and "espeasy_var": "LastTime", the script will save here the date of the data that is displayed
