How possible would it be to have it use an independent volume control, so I could have, say, music louder, and this softer?

can this not be done via the volume mixer?

What is wrong with Yahoo???? the weather temperature is always wrong... I live in Dubai, just checked cos i was finding strange what it was giving me.. you can check at the major sites for yourself:
Google weather - 42 degrees
Accuweather -43 degrees
Yahoo - 36 degrees.....
-NunoEspadinha (July 20, 2017, 06:39 AM)

I gave up on sWeather in the past, because yahoo weather was so inaccurate for my location - FWIW I just tried it again and it's working correctly i.e. yahoo weather is reporting accurately

I later made it computer-based on a nifty relational database PIM for managing text records (Lotus Agenda). I could look at (say) all the As together, and make progress notes about them and flag them as "Done" when they had been completed (the date of setting the "Done" flag was automatically recorded), and then review the Bs to see if any warranted action or upgrading to As, and make notes about them also.

I'm not well up on relational databases, but see that Pierre has just created a sample file for using InfoQube (IQ) as a relational database:

IQ as a Relational Database: Book Review Process

InfoQube is not a relational database, this, by-design. Using a number of features however, it can handle tasks which are traditionally handled by relational database systems.
http://www.sqlnotes....ndex.php?q=node/3962

Can be discussed here (IQ forums) or just here I'm sure, (but have yet to look closer at it myself).

FARR Plugins and Aliases / Re: FARR Plugin: FCalc v1.12 (Mar 25, 2015)

FCalc is built on muparser; see the built-in functions here:
http://beltoforion.d...hl=en&p=features

I guess you want atan()? This gives results in radians. You can get degrees with the built-in "_pi" constant like
fc atan(1)*180/_pi

thanks ayryq !

must save that list. I usc Fcalc regularly but mostly for simple arithmetic

Have you tried using Task Scheduler to bypass the UAC prompts?

http://www.thewindow...-programs-bypass-uac

What does it say?  It wants me to unblock it, and I just don't trust sites these days.

the website? (no problem here reading it:)
If you wish, you can also create elevated shortcut for the program, that will allow you to bypass UAC Prompt and run the program without seeing the UAC Prompt in Windows. This is how you can do it.

Type Schedule Tasks in Start Search and hit Enter to open the Task Scheduler. Under Actions, click on Create Task. Follow this post on how to create a  task in Task Scheduler.

Under General tab, give the Task a name, say NoUAC1. Check Run with highest privileges.

Run programs without the UAC Prompt

Under the Action tab, click on the New button and browse to the folder location of the program executable file and select it. The Action should be Start a program.

bypass uac prompt

Under the Settings tab, ensure that Allow task to be run on demand is checked.

Create elevated Program Shortcut

Once all this is done, click on OK. A new Task will be created and you will be able to see it.
Create elevated Program Shortcut

Now you will have to create a shortcut that will run this task.

Right-click on the desktop > New > Shortcut. In the the Create Shortcut wizard, type:

schtasks /run /TN "NoUAC1"

Here NoUAC1 should be replaced with the name for the task that you have chosen. Click on Next and exit the wizard after it runs its course.
[..]
Now when you click this shortcut, you will be able to bypass the UAC Prompt.

EDIT// added link - do you need that one quoted too?

I probably need help with maths, rather than specifically with your calculator.

I'm trying to figure out the rotation of an image (the whole image is rotated within a filetype/programme where I cannot measure the rotation). This screenshot here is just representational: the angle is much smaller; the image is shown as a frame.

Screenshot - 2017-07-12 , 15_06_10.png

Right-angled triangle => I need measurements for an angle. Using measurements for two sides:
adjacent
opposite

Tangent = opposite/adjacent
0.0078294071615532 = 1.45075/185.295

according to your (very good) help:
Inverse Tangent
atan(tan)
Finds the angle of the Hypotenuse when given Tangent

atan(0.0078294071615532) = 0.000137

but the results I get above appear to be wrong - the programme I used to rotate the image cannot make such a small rotation. Rotating back, I estimate the rotation at circa 0.45°. (Should this not be the same as the measure of the angle - or am I misunderstanding?)

Can anyone see am I doing something wrong?
(I've double checked the measurements, they are correct. I can measure the third side if that any help.)

Trying to calculate an angle in a right-angle triangle.

I know to get the angle I want, I need
tan-1

is this possible using Fcalc?
if not, can anyone recommend something?
(I tried a few online calculators but they dont allow pasting :-/ )

Yeah, Screenshot Captor is much better to use for screenshots than Paint :-)

It's not clear though - it looks like your text is clipped at the end there:
do you still have a problem?
Do you still want or need to paste in Paint?

[Screenshot Captor (SC) related.]

The panel on the left uses explorer.exe
Double-click there should open an image in its default handler.

If you want the image to show in the main SC panel, just click it once.

If you want it to open in default handler, open a Windows/File Explorer window and see can you open an image there, or do you get the same error message?

Your OS is?

@IainB -- we are largely in agreement,
you appear to have misunderstood my point though - I do not "want him to be perceived as speaking as a proponent of QE". FWIW I have no vested interests in seeing him in any particular way -- I have no reason to project here.

I was simply pointing out his seeing it as pragmatic when things get that bad. That was it.
