not sure what Calendar is, can you explain a bit? thanks

-kalos (September 15, 2011, 01:08 PM)

Either a calendar or an agenda, popping up your appointments in the correct time on the correct day?

-Ath (September 15, 2011, 01:37 PM)

the problem is that I do not want to check many programs, I only want to check Outlook for all my notifications, reminders, etc

Finished Programs / Re: Finished Coding Snack: Organize Text

I know necro-posting is looked down upon but it finally dawned on me how radical Text Targets is. (Note that I haven't downloaded the program so I'm not sure I get this correctly.)

This thing, in concept, would arguably be the fastest GTD Weekly Review processor for any .txt GTD softwae set-up that was ever invented.

You could literally quick capture every task in Anuran, mass-export the archives via AnuVu..., send the text to this program...create several .txts like @Work, or @PC, or Someday/Maybe and then line by line send these tasks in one full scroll without ever having to be overloaded by all the tasks in front of you. Wow!

Consider my head blown. This is the first app that made me regret not using GTD anymore.

General Software Discussion / schedule emails

« Last post by kalos on September 14, 2011, 03:12 PM »

hello

I have a list of dates and a specific text.

I want each of these dates, to have an unread incoming email in my Outlook (or Thunderbird, or any other) with that specific text.

However, because I do not want to miss any of these emails on the correct date, I don't want to count of email server (since it may fail), so I need a totally reliable solution.

any idea?

thanks!

What do you use now to track this info?

-steeladept (September 09, 2011, 07:05 PM)

I do it manually!

I tried to find any outlook/thunderbird add-ons with no luck

I mean, eg I want to set reminders at 2nd, 7th, 14th, 21st day after eg. September 14th. How can I get the correct dates in a list? and then somehow import them to the reminder program??

any hint???

Secure Reminder

-ha14 (September 09, 2011, 02:31 PM)

thanks but none of this suits

1) they either do not offer ability to set multiple reminders after a starting date, or when they do, the reminders are either daily, weekly, monthly, without the option to set a custom sequence

2) they do not offer the ability to set a starting date and then automatically generate the reminders

as I see in the screenshots Anuran allows you to set only one specific interval, with no ending point.

I have tried some, unfortunately no one does what I need

in most, you have to set the date of the reminders yourself, while I want the 2nd day, 7nth day, 14nth day reminders to be automatically generated after I specify the begin of the project

-ldarrambide (September 06, 2011, 04:09 PM)

seems very interesting

can it take screenshots of the elements I click and create computer-vision-driven identification, like Sikuli?

I also found www.mouserobot.com which is also very promising, with an excellent element region identification, but not sure if I can make it identify accurately any element

General Software Discussion / Re: New Folder 2 2.0

« Last post by kalos on September 06, 2011, 03:12 PM »

the most handy solution is to create a new subfolder folder when you double click on the empty area of a folder view, imo

-kalos (September 06, 2011, 02:20 PM)

That means moving your hand from the keyboard to the mouse and then back to the keyboard - definitely not very handy.

The best is a decent filemanager, but MilesAhead's solution is decent for those who stick to explorer.

-f0dder (September 06, 2011, 02:52 PM)

no, I think you are wrong: you don't move your hand from the keyboard to the mouse, you most often have your hand to your mouse already!

Have you looked at this:

http://www.mjtnet.com/

Not sure if it addresses what you need.

-Renegade (September 04, 2011, 07:49 AM)

I just tried it, it looked promising but unfortunately it did not do what I want
I used a macro recorder to record opening of Pop Peeper main window, opening then an email, then clicking Close, and it only recorded the position and movements of the pointer, not any identifiable info of the windows and controls/elements.

I assume you don't have source code for the 'second software'?

-f0dder (September 04, 2011, 08:25 AM)

yup, I don't

If not, you'll have to simulate input for the secondary app; exactly how to do it depends on the application, sometimes you can use SetWindowText for some parts, other times you have to send character by character... and it's generally a relatively fragile exercise.

-f0dder (September 04, 2011, 08:25 AM)

I don't know the SetWindowText, I can't change the code of the second software, I guess I need some kind of app that will automatically do what I describe in the first post

General Software Discussion / data binding

« Last post by kalos on September 04, 2011, 07:51 AM »

hello

there is a whole discussion about data binding and I would like to know if there is any solution for my needs:

I want to create forms (form1, form2, etc) that I put text in each field of the forms.
Then, I want to automatically transfer the text of each field of a specific form, to the relevant cell of another, second software.

I want a program to identify the id of form and open the appropriate tab in the second software. Then to transfer the text of each field of the form to the appropriate cell of the relevant tab in the second software.

The second software has a search function, with which you put the appriate number in a field and by hitting ENTER it opens the relevant tab (where the data of the form should be transfered)

Do you have an idea how to implement this?

thanks!

there are so many controls that are not identifiable, for example in Pop Peeper:
I hover over the Close button, and there is nothing I see that distinguishes it from eg. the Delete button:

hello

I have tried several GUI automation solutions, including AHK, AutoIt, Ranorex, Sikuli, etc.

The problem was always the same: there is no way to identify many GUI elements/controls.

is there any solution to this problem?

I need to record macros to programs that have GUI elements/controls, that do not have classnn, or other distinguishable characteristics.

thanks

General Software Discussion / automatically watermark and combine pdf files

« Last post by kalos on September 02, 2011, 02:41 PM »

hello

I have a program that I select some entries and it generates pdf files of them and sends them to the printer.

What I need is to automatically put a watermark of my choice to each pdf page of the above and also automatically combine them.

Can you suggest me a solution?

I tried to use a virtual pdf printer with no luck (maybe because the files that are sent to the virtual pdf printer, are already pdf?)

thanks

General Software Discussion / custom reminder

« Last post by kalos on September 02, 2011, 02:38 PM »

hello

I create projects (eg, project1, project2, etc) and I need reminders to notify me to check for each project's progress after an amount of specific days from the start of each project.

To give you an example:

On 1/1/2011 I start project1 and I need to be alerted 2, 7, 14, 30 days after the starting date.

On 3/2/2011 I start project2 and I need to be alerted 1, 5, 9, 20 days after the starting date.

I often start projects like project1 (that need reminder every 2,7,14,30 days) and I often start projects like project2 (that need reminder every 1,5,9,20 days), so I basically need to tell the program that I started a project like project1 and it will generate the apropriate reminders (same goes for other project types, like project2, etc)

any suggestion?

thanks
