Official Announcements / Fundraiser Day 25

« Last post by mouser on March 25, 2011, 12:09 PM »

It's friday and Day 25 of the Fundraiser -- we're in the home stretch!

Today DC member skwire released a Steam Url Converter, a tiny utility for people who use the Steam gaming platform:

Steam allows you to create shortcuts on your desktop to launch games. However, these shortcuts are not standard Windows .LNK files. They are .URL files and, sometimes, they don't show the proper icon for the intended game even if the .URL file contains the correct information. This app tries to solve the issue by converting the .URL shortcut into a .LNK shortcut. Simply drag the .URL file onto the SteamURLConverter.exe file and it will immediately create a .LNK file in the same folder as the .URL file.

And I released an important update to Python ProtoCards, my open source Python library to help card game designers rapidly prototype printed card designs.

Enjoy the weekend, and stay tuned for the final details of the end-of-fundraiser giant giveaway that will be posted in the next couple of days!

Finished Programs / Re: IDEA: Instant Notes - move mouse to top left corner to pop up a notepad

« Last post by mouser on March 24, 2011, 09:16 AM »

Just a quick comment -- as someone who is pretty visual and mouse-loving, i still think you might be better off with a solution that used a hotkey to bring up notebox to type into, and hotkey to make it go away.

Whether thats something like Skwire's Anuran, or a notetaking plugin for my Find and Run Robot program, i just think that would be more comfortable and faster than moving mouse somewhere.

this has been happening on the member server randomly for a month, and we are having a hell of a time figuring out what is randomly causing these drops.

we're trying a new fix now, let me know if you see the problem again.

DcUpdater / Re: DcuHelper.exe v1.08 (3/23/11) - Update checking for your apps (dcupdater compat)

« Last post by mouser on March 23, 2011, 09:22 PM »

I have uploaded a new beta version of dcu helper (link in first post).

v1.08.01 - Mar 23, 2011

completely new dialog with buttons to open web pages shown when update detected; support for showing whats new
improved the -u unregister parameter; added icon to dcuhelper to improve message boxes (thanks Worstje)

The newest version has a pretty dramatic change in appearance, showing nice dialog and buttons instead of messagebox; and the biggest change is you can now show people whats new since their current version. See sample.

I'm putting this out as a beta since there may be some rough edges, let me know. Note: The new version will *not* work on windows 95/98.

Suggestions welcome -- look forward to any feedback if the new dcuhelper is helpful for you.

Screenshot Captor / Re: LATEST VERSION INFO THREAD - ScreenshotCaptor - 2.93.01 - Mar 23, 2011

« Last post by mouser on March 23, 2011, 05:57 PM »

Try the new pixelate effect!

v2.93.01 - Mar 23rd, 2011

[Feature] Added new Pixelate filter (see options on SpecialEffects tab).
[MinorFeature] Added options for setting default print units and orientation (landscape, etc.)
[BugFix] When pasting bitmaps from clipboard, a border was put around them.
[MinorFeature] Additional attempt to speed up object editing mode when lots of objects on screen.
[BugFix] Custom border color was being ignored on some border options.
[MinorFeature] New option (set by default) to not attempt aero transparent capture on full-screen windows, since this can bump them out of full screen status.
[Feature] Improved built-in update checker.

Find And Run Robot / Re: Settings not being saved

« Last post by mouser on March 23, 2011, 02:03 PM »

a better fix is probably to use the ConfigDir.ini file to tell FARR someplace it can write it's settings file to. but there must be some reason this is happening -- some permission failure somewhere.

DcUpdater / Re: DcuHelper.exe v1.06 (1/4/11) - Update checking for your apps (dcupdater compat)

« Last post by mouser on March 23, 2011, 09:02 AM »

Latest dcuhelper coming will support reporting to the user what's new, and a nicer better looking dialog where they can choose what they want to do when an update is found.

Example:

I'd also like to add some *optional* features for asking the user to consider donating to the author, as discussed on other threads.

Find And Run Robot / Re: Settings not being saved

« Last post by mouser on March 23, 2011, 08:16 AM »

So i think we have narrowed down the cause.. for whatever reason its not realizing it should (or not able to) create the FindAndRunRobot.ini file in your documents area. I'll reupload the debug version so we can see where its TRYING to save to and whats going wrong.. though i really thought i added code to report such failures and let the user know when it failed to save settings.

Find And Run Robot / Re: Settings not being saved

« Last post by mouser on March 23, 2011, 07:13 AM »

is it creating a folder and FindAndRunRobot.ini file in your documents directory under DonationCoder\FindAndRunRobot?

Find And Run Robot / Re: Settings not being saved

« Last post by mouser on March 23, 2011, 01:16 AM »

Did you install FARR using the installer? Or did you move settings from another computer? What Operating System are you using it? Did you install it to anyplace unusual? Did you modify the ConfigDir.ini file?

LaunchBar Commander / Re: Icon display: mean quality

« Last post by mouser on March 23, 2011, 12:18 AM »

i'm pretty sure there is a way to fix this -- i'm not sure if it's something i have to do in code or can be tweaked with one of the color settings for the launch bar.
remind me if i don't post a solution in a couple of days. perhaps you could email me a test launchbar demonstrating the problem ([email protected]), that would help.

General Software Discussion / Re: Bumfuzzled again: PHP doesn't work on ONE (1) page <whimper /> ...

« Last post by mouser on March 22, 2011, 08:14 PM »

umm...

the lack of syntax highlighting should be a clue.

in php you need parentheses to use parentheses with include, as its a function. e.g. include('file.ext'), don't you?
actually i see from php help pages you don't need parentheses.. though clearly your ide syntax highlighter thinks you do.. bah stupid language kludges.
