I think it would be wise when user presses "add running processes" to pop up a yes/no messagebox that tells user what is about to happen

Ok, let me move up to top priority adding code that responds when drives are plugged in or removed.  That's been mentioned before in a slightly different context -- a cool idea to have certain buttons or bars show when a drive is inserted.

N.A.N.Y. 2011 / Re: NANY 2011 Release: Park Cursor Aside

« Last post by mouser on January 11, 2011, 11:06 AM »

Would it be possible to move the cursor relatively to the application's window, for example to its title bar?

that's a clever idea -- or to bottom or right edge of window.

General Software Discussion / Re: Anyone else here have an unhealthy fascination with progress bars?

« Last post by mouser on January 11, 2011, 10:55 AM »

One of the saddest things that has happened in modern times is that almost everything you ask your computer to do is done instantly.

Now most people will tell you that's a great thing, but I'm here to tell you that I remember the days when I would start a program compiling and go off to have dinner while it worked.  Those were the days.

There is nothing quite like knowing your computer friend is hard as work on something while you go take a nap or grab a bite to eat.

That's always been one of the appeals of doing scientific work on the computer -- I once ran a program on my pc that took 2 months to run and it was an unadulterated pleasure.

Progress bars are just the icing on the cake

Find And Run Robot / Re: FARR Options Window keeps popping up...

« Last post by mouser on January 11, 2011, 01:30 AM »

i've had 2 or 3 reports of random options opening on win7 lately, and its my #1 issue to fix this week.

but i've not had any clues as to what could be causing it.

your idea that it might be related to update checking could be a life saver -- if that is what's causing it i'm going to give you a hug

can you try disabling the periodic update checking from that dialog and see if the options still pop up?

N.A.N.Y. 2011 / Re: NANY 2011 Release: Snap DB

« Last post by mouser on January 10, 2011, 11:46 PM »

one thing i wanted to add -- because snapdb uses .dcupdate files for update checking -- advanced users could actually make your own custom package of snapdb and your database, and modify the .dcupdate file so that your friends check YOUR website for an updated snapdb and datafile combo.

good for if you want to distribute a custom data set and viewer with update support.
