General Software Discussion / AxCrypt is updated.

At the moment I do not use this one but I have used it in the past it is very handy and easy to use. Great for individual files and folders.

Living Room / Laptop security and border crossing.

« Last post by kartal on May 16, 2008, 01:33 PM »

I saw this thread on slashdot otherday. I am sure it will interest many DC visitors. I find it outrages that border agents can download content of your harddrive. I hope that this ruling will be turned down

One other software that excelled text based system is Keynote. Importing your text files is not a problem either. I personally would go for this one if wiki based system is a struggle for you.

Finished Programs / Re: DONE: perform random URL queries (Random Submitter)

« Last post by kartal on May 16, 2008, 12:29 AM »

My only worry about this AntiPhormLite software is that I hope that they are not making money out of this random visits (sounds unethical). Because this may make it look like people are visiting this web sites thus generates profit for
this company?

I have 615 topics(text files) with various lenghts(one database with text file, original sqllite), some are very long text files some are very short. It is very responsive and light. Search function is smart. You can do topic or content based search. if that is not enough you can use many tagging functions, bookmarking, todos, tracking,icon support etc. Latest betas have nice preliminary timeline as well.

I use autohotkey to enable or run wikipad (like win+w). I also have one mroe ahk line to open "open wikiword" so when I press win+shift+w, it opens wikiword search window nomatter where I am. What  I like about is that if there is such a topic you are intending to search it brings up, if there is no such a  thing you can create a  wikiword on the fly.

I use wikipad not because it is free but no other software offers such advanced features without loosing plain text format idea. In the past I had tried zillion software with advanced multimedia features even. They were either bloated or not nicely thought. Many softwares lacked custom shotcuts or simple interface. Some lacked even simple drag and drop functionalities. I debated between connected text and wikipad. In the end I had choosen wikipad even thou connected text is very very nice software with even more advanced feature implementation. I think that my main issue was file format and compability 
in the end. You cannot go wrong with plain text. Other custom databases limits the user in my view because generally speaking they do not support wide range of exports.

We need one more option that would affect the toolbar-farr behaviour. I love the toolbar idea and I have started using it. However farr does not dissappear after clicking on toolbar icons. I think that that should be a user desicion.

You can always try wikipad. I have been using it for 4 years. It is plain text with wiki features plus many advanced ideas that many others do not have like superior tracking-tagging per page or per line etc

Find And Run Robot / Re: How can I enter 2 seperate arguments?

« Last post by kartal on May 11, 2008, 04:41 PM »

Mouser
One thing I need to understand regarding passing argument is that how can I make sure that Farr can distinguish parameters?

For example lets say that I have 2 arguments made of 2+ words each. Lets say that these arguments will be used for sending email.

sendemail.exe [email protected] [email protected] this is title1 this is again title

So if my command line looks like this, how could Farr distinguish between spaces and know that first 2 are email adresses and rest are just one argument. How can I group items in a sense?

It looks and sounds interesting. It is a command line utility. Maybe someone can find  a nice Farr use of this tool.

Definetely. Everyday I love Farr more and more. I would like to move to more advanced usages but it takes time. Your suggestion would be great solution for people who have never heard regex.

Thanks for the update. But I am little confused with the way it works,
"Preset alarm (Type in the text "undefined"): false" . How is this supposed to work? Sorry It is jut not that obvious to me

« Last post by kartal on May 10, 2008, 07:14 PM »

To me it seems like this regex stuff needs little simplification for end user. Also any chance of implementing consistent tab behaviour would be great. I personally prefer tab to move to next argument, and use space for words seperation.

Maybe someone can make simple regex tutotial explanation that is usable for Farr?

« Last post by kartal on May 10, 2008, 06:24 PM »

Mouser thanks for suggestion ^sendmail (\S*) (.*)  this seem to work.

I have one more question. How come "tab" works for certain aliases and not for others? Some of my aliases accept tab to move to next argument some does not. This happens when I need to start creating 2nd argument. Tab does not work I need to use space. Maybe first one feels like it accepts tab becasue it is also part of autocompleting of the alias?

« Last post by kartal on May 10, 2008, 11:30 AM »

Hi
I am having little issue here. I use $$1 and $$2 to pass 2 arguments to command line emailer. First one is an email adress second one is the title of email.
I can send email successfully If my title is just one word. If my title is more than one word Farr only passes first word of the title. I want Farr to pass the full title to emailer. I use
sendemail-tab-email adress-space-title(may contain spaces)

1000>>>sendemail>->sendemail $$1 $$2| PathTo\sendEmail.exe -s mail.mymail.com:2025 -xu [email protected] -xp password -t "$$1" -u "$$2" -f [email protected]>+>^sendemail (.+) (.+)

I use powerpro, amazing stuff. I do not have any problem with its developement cycle or pause at the moment. But it plays such a central role in my daily usage that I would like to be able to use it 6 7+ years from now on
