Mobysaurus / Re: Mobysasurus Windows 10

« Last post by mouser on September 24, 2019, 11:21 AM »

There is an alternate dll download on the mobysaurus page: http://www.dcmembers...wordzilla/downloads/
Can you try replacing your existing dll with that one and see if it fixes it?
If that fails, maybe try reinstalling mobysaurus?

Here's the pdf of the paper they wrote.  Looks like some fascinating, detailed info about the code, including a discussing of a bug in the pseudo random number generator, etc: https://arxiv.org/ft.../1811/1811.02035.pdf

I've downloaded it to read.

Screenshot Captor / Re: Silent Switch for Command Line Capture when SC already loaded

« Last post by mouser on September 21, 2019, 01:37 PM »

Gotcha, let me see if I can add that.. So it will be a new commandline option to tell what SC should do after the capture, overriding the default post-capture option.

I really have to take another look at this, it's completely slipped my mind, and it should be an easy fix.
If I post an alpha version will you test it?

Clipboard Help+Spell / Re: Duplicationg Clips

« Last post by mouser on September 20, 2019, 11:36 PM »

This is an interesting question..

In general, CHS has two kinds of folders:

• "Real" folders, where each clip is always in one and only one folder.
• "Virtual" folders, which define a rule for clips (like all clips with a url or some text in them, or clips from a certain app, or taken during a certain time period).  Clips can be in many virtual folders simultaneously.

You seem to be asking about having a duplicate clip in multiple real folders.

What you COULD do is turn off duplicate checking in CHS, which would let you make multiple copies of the same clip and then file them into different folders..

If you add -minimize to the commandline like :

[Select]

ScreenshotCaptor.exe -capture screen -minimize

would that do what you want?

« Last post by mouser on September 20, 2019, 11:29 PM »

As you've surmised, FARR does not support unicode.  It's unfortunately an aspect of the code that would be very hard to change.

Was just going to say that there's been some news about this on the web today saying exactly what Jill posted.. A very unusual thing created by a windows 10 update..

More articles:

Surely they'll have it fixed soon.

Yes!

I actually have a minor update as of July 29 ready but I've put off uploading it until I add a few more features..
Give me some more feature ideas or bugs to fix so I can have an excuse to publish the new version!

Welcome to the site, leftdisconnected 

Your suggestions and reasoning are very reasonable. 

For installers, I highly encourage signing with a digital certificate; and with executables it makes a difference in how Windows displays them, and can definitely make people feel safer using them.

Your point about "It might be useful to list this hash in the download area on your official website, but this can convey false verification if a website is hacked (hackers may change the displayed hash to match their infected package)." is valid; for small scale websites that's pretty darn unlikely though.  And one good alternative solution would be to post a hash value on a different server (like this forum), from the one hosting the file.  Whether it's worth the hassle is another matter.. It does at least increase the likelyhood that someone would discover a tampered file sooner rather than later, which is always good.

General Software Discussion / Artists: What digital hardware+software do you use for digital sketchin/painting

« Last post by mouser on September 08, 2019, 01:04 AM »

For those of you who spend time sketching/painting in digital medium, I'm curious what tools, both hardware and software, you find the most enjoyable to use?
Anyone use a drawing tablet? A fancy screen with pressure sensitive pen etc?

I ask because I inherited an older cintiq21 21 inch monitor tablet from my father -- you draw on the screen with a pressure sensitive pen.  It's old but very cool.. However it's a beast to move around and requires a computer to make it work.  I'm thinking a smaller standalone touch screen tablet with pressure pen support would be so much more convenient, if not quite as good an experience when actually sketching.

NANY is "New Apps for the New Year" -- an event we run on DonationCoder where we invite coders who hang out on the forum to release a new free program at the start of the new year -- or celebrate the new apps they've written in the last 12 months.

There are no winners or losers, everyone who participates gets a free mug commemorating the event.

You can find previous year's forums here: https://www.donation...ndex.php?board=210.0



Release a new app for the new year on Jan 1 and get a DC mug as your reward.
Here's the new alternate design from Hamradio.
