just to get the unformatted text - probably needs to be simplified to a single hotkey activation.

fair enough, ill add that to todo list, seems reasonable.

It's hard to know if those "CreationDateTime" must have a value errors are related to the previous 11013 error -- that's why i'm ignoring them until we get the main bug fixed.

Let me know if you see any other errors now that the temp directory is changed.

yes but id like to see if it might work now when you go back to the default of database temp directory.
unlikely but possible..

Maybe you can try the different temp file settings tweaks you tried before?

Im 99% certain these problems are related to a security software locking the temporary files, if you can only disable the scanning inside the folder you configure for the temporary access, that should solve it (of course that doesn't help others)

whereas in the main window I first have to open the clip

Sounds like you dont have the grid configured to show an excerpt.  You can click on the little button to the far left of the grid column header to configure which columns are shown, and then drag and drop to position and resize.

Ah i can do that.. there is a shift+click menu that you can activate for any of the previous history of clips, i could put the formatting menu in there too.

But it's not so hard to do it now, you would just bring up  the main window, select the old clip, then choose the formatting preset from the button drop down arrow.

As a stopgap, this AHK code (below) will paste the last clip you copied to clipboard either with or without formatting. (I think I got this from the AHK forum. It's very handy and I find I use it a lot.)

Tip: If you are using CHS you can do this as follows:
  • Crtl+V will paste using windows clipboard, and so will preserve all formatting.
  • Press Ctrl+Alt+Q, to bring up CHS quick paste menu, then hit 1.  This works because it uses the CHS quick paste menu which does plaintext

10) Unrelated to the formatting presets: when I use quick paste and the main window exists - the main window is activated first. This is not a big problem but it bothers me as the behaviour differs from when the main window is minimised to tray

can you explain this a bit more, im not sure i understand.


11) Unrelated to the formatting presets: When I am in a rename mode (for example in explorer or gbCodeLib9) activating quick paste deactivates the edit/rename mode and the paste gets lost (i.e. go to explorer, select a file, press F2, Quick Paste something - filename unchanged). If there is anyway to prevent this from happening I would be extremely grateful but somehow I think that the creation of the quick paste menu will always do this.

i dont think i can control this.


12) Unrelated to the formatting presets: I would be grateful for some way to paste a clip with original formatting (for example, pasting bold text in MS Word as bold text)


one of the remaining big todo items of CHS is to save clips with richtext formatting not just plaintext; not possible yet but coming.

8 I would like to have the option for user tools NOT to paste the output (my AHK example for example does not require pasting) - maybe if %outfile% does not exist (currently it gives an error).

Very good idea, i will add it.

For those that don't see the use for this -- consider that you can use chs to trigger some operation on the text under the cursor by launching a script on it -- and the script may have nothing to do with text transformation (for example you might have it open a web page to define the word under the cursor).

7) I would like a way to perform this on a clip from the quick paste menu - though I cannot think of anyway to do it intuitively

if you mean you want a way to apply formatting from quick paste menu you can already do that, from formatting submenu of quick paste menu, or even faster using custom hotkeys set for the formatting item.

6) I would like to create a custom order of the list in (1) and this custom order should be kept for the Quick Paste option as well - I use keyboard shortcuts

yeah i can see the value of this, i'll see what i can do but no promises.  your best bet now is to use file names to control order since the items are shown in alphanumeric order.

5) In the preset editing tree (i.e. where introduction,  add stuff etc are written - figure 2 in first post) - it may be helpful to add a checkmark to show if anything is active in that tree/tab (or make the actives bold or red or anything visual)[off topic]I actually preferred the old screen (as I could see what is on and what is off at a glance) [/off topic]

good idea, i'll see if i can do this.

It's fun to see some interest in the text modification features..

Let me try to answer some of the questions:

1) When I click Modify Format/Case in the Main dialog it would be more intuitive (for me) to be presented a list of saved presets and apply it to the clip (with a preview box of course). You can then have buttons to Rename, Edit, Delete or Create New presets - which will then take you to your formatting screen.

2) There is currently no way to Rename/Delete a preset (1 will solve this)

3) Once in the formatting screen it is not clear which preset is loaded - it will be nice to see this (maybe in the title)

4) There is Accept and Cancel buttons - but no save button. Once (3) is implemented I would expect to have  a button that saves the loaded preset (currently you have to save as). [off topic]This drove me insane until I realised "Accept" accepts the changes to the text - not the preset[/off topic]

Ok all of these are related.. let me explain:

The modification dialog can be used for two things -- first to quickly apply some custom formatting to the current text (of the current clip item).  When you just press the modification button on main window this is what you invoke.  It does *NOT* load a preset when you invoke it this way, it just uses your last settings.

So.. you could live your whole live never using saved presets -- just invoking that dialog when you want to apply some formatting and then closing it.

You can also trigger this use from the quick paste menu by selecting the last entry on the formatting submenu.

Now the other use of the dialog is to load and save presets, which are remembered settings.

Unlike some other programs, CHS wont remind you to save the changes in a preset if you load one and change some settings.  That's perhaps something i should think about improving.  But basically if you want to change a preset you load it, modify it, and then save it again.

The saved presets are just files, so if you want to delete one, share one, rename one, you can do so in your file system.

I have actually thought about packing the zip-compatible installs in a way such that if you unpacked the files, it would start by default in portable mode -- i should do that.

As for the other thing -- unfortunately it doesn't look like running portably helps this weird locked database file problem..

hi bendiks.

i think superboyac was just trying to tell you to turn off the CAPS LOCK button and not type in all uppercase.

as far as moving your tree data, that's easy -- just move the .dat files from the directory
TheFormLetterMachine\userdata\trees

from the old pc to the new one.

that will be in Program Files\ if you are windows xp or under your documents if you are on vista or win7.
