Hi Stefan,

please post a mini-review about that one, list all the features there and edit your last post to link to your new mini-review. Sounds like something many might be interested in!

I'm sometimes using black on a green background... I don't like black backgrounds and besides that I read something about those being bad for your eyes in the long run.

Hi I use "4t Tray Minimizer". Its a Freeware and works very well.

See http://www.4t-niagara.com/tray.html for more informations

Nice, good luck with the section!

I'd like to have one discussion focus on "Light-weight tools to find files on your HD", like Locate (read https://www.donation...dex.php?topic=1385.0). I'm not talking about complete desktop search utilities (which I also use), just a replacement for Windows' search function.

Thanks, I installed VirtualDubMod (http://virtualdubmod.sourceforge.net/) because that seems to be the most versatile free solution.

Now does anyone know of a good online tutorial?

Hi,

what are you using to edit videos? I'm not talking about making some TV quality edits with lots of cool edits, just simple editing (cut out a bit here and there etc) of AVI and MPG files.

A not-too-messy interface would be nice.

« Last post by brotherS on February 18, 2006, 02:25 AM »

This morning IdleMute didn't work correctly, the sound was unmuted before I even touched the mouse or keyboard after waking up.

Just another AHK script moved the mouse around - maybe related?

« Last post by brotherS on February 15, 2006, 02:04 PM »

Hi!

Maybe we could help you better when you tell us more about that task?

For example, adding

[Select]

:o*:.udc::https://www.donationcoder.com/forum/index.php

to your AHK script (just right-click AutoHotkey's tray icon and edit it - read http://www.autohotkey.com/ yet?) will allow you to type .udc anywhere and - voila - you'll get the DonationCoder URL

Finished Programs / Re: Backup My TXT Files Everytime I Save - AKA incremental saves / wiki(-like)

« Last post by brotherS on February 15, 2006, 06:56 AM »

Since I didn't like to have TOO many versions of an important file in that destination folder, I'm using an AutoHotkey script to copy it every day to another folder.

But I admit, a script that would check if it has been saved again and creating a backup then might come in handy too.

Finished Programs / Re: IDEA: IdleClose - exit certain programs after x minutes of idle time

« Last post by brotherS on February 15, 2006, 05:16 AM »

Found a simple solution for my idea:

[Select]

;2006-02-15
;kill certain programs after x hours of idle time
#Persistent
AutoExec8:
SetTimer, AutoKill, 25000
;
; 3600000 milliseconds = 1 hour
; 5400000 milliseconds = 1,5 hours
; 7200000 milliseconds = 2 hours
; 7200000 milliseconds = 2 hours
; 9000000 milliseconds = 2,5 hours
;
AutoKill:
;    TrayTip, test, test
If A_TimeIdlePhysical > 5400000
 process, close, fdm.exe
If A_TimeIdlePhysical > 9000000
 process, close, winamp.exe
return

Sure, it won't watch the process itself, but I figured that's simple enough and comes close to what I wanted.

Neither can I, but...

but in case anyone is interested in turning off avatars and signatures:

...how about a mod, like "do not show .gif avatars"?

« Last post by brotherS on February 14, 2006, 02:16 AM »

good news: while listening to streaming radio online, I removed quite a few files from the Winamp folder. Old plugins, plugins for features I don't use, etc. - then I installed Pacemaker again, and it now works again!

Nice

Very interesting find!

The eyetracking version of Dasher allows an experienced user to write text as fast as normal handwriting - 29 words per minute; using a mouse, experienced users can write at 39 words per minute.

But I'm using an AutoHotkey script to move around windows on the desktop by just using the keyboard (in a very simple way), which I do a lot

-brotherS (February 13, 2006, 09:05 AM)

Like using the keyboard to nudge windows left/right/up/down?

-allen (February 13, 2006, 09:13 AM)

Yes, very helpful! And if I'd be one of the 'chosen few' here with a 24" TFT I wouldn't know how to live without it!
