I was thinkinking of some toolbar coded in AIR to send symbols to the focused application.

Ah.. I see , it forms part of the fun, well you wouldn't have to get involved much at all,
just select all pics and press a button to download a zip file, i'd set up several accounts just in case

my solution  :)
-create a yahoo mail account
-make your guests send their pics to your email
-just open your email and download all pics,
yahoo mail provide a default folder which lists and orders by date all pics contained in emails

General Software Discussion / Re: Convert PDF to DOC in a special way...
« Last post by kilele on December 04, 2012, 05:48 PM »
I tried the first approach as explained above with pdf-xchange and multi page tiff into word,
but word did not accept more than the first image, that's why I chose importing multiple images after removing the doc margin in order to prevent word from scaling them.

PDF XChange Viewer can export pdfs as image, yo may try this to see if it works in your case:

PDF XChange Viewer:
-file->export->export to image:png,300dpi
MSWord:
-Remove margins on new doc
-insert image from file->order files by name, select them all and insert them into your doc

Edit:

BTW the best pdf to doc converter I have tried so far is VeryPDF PDF2Word,
you might want to try the free online converter or the shareware desktop version.

I might be wrong but  40hz made reference to Linux providing the user with ways to customize/configure everything to have different desktop themes as in Windows but in Linux you may change everything: keyboard shortcuts, restriction of features to get a minimalist gui...

I remembered my days playing scalextric! and did a quick search to see if there were track editors.
You may want to take a look at these programs:
Slot Car Race Manager - Track Layout Editor
PC SlotCarz (track editor)
Scalextric Track Designer

For anyone who was interested in an excuse to experiment with the "Processing" graphics-focused programming language, this idea would probably be perfect for it.

precisely the other day searching for cellular automata and graphics I run into this site about processing:

this seems a nice project to make a procedural river/racetrack generator with "surprising outcomes" as explained by mouser on his post about coding something emergent

The input of such program could be:
-number of curves
-distance
some code useful to make bezier interpolations:

http://polymathprogr...ering-bezier-curves/
I encourage anyone to try to make this project  ::)

Finished Programs / Re: DONE: Open images without program window showing.
« Last post by kilele on November 22, 2012, 07:59 AM »
yep, I meant the program's context menu, the enterer key might suffice if you consider interesting this feature.
My apologies for not understanding your misunderstanding  ;)
One more suggestion: scale images when their size  is too big to fit in the screen dimensions, something like what Vista's  "Windows Photo Gallery" does to keep images within the screen limits.

Coding Snacks / Re: Alt+Tab on the bottom left corner
« Last post by kilele on November 21, 2012, 12:14 PM »
I've tried the above ahk script on my pc with vista and does not work,
could anyone at least to edit Skrommel's script so that it works when the mouse is on the left edge but adding a delay of 800 miliseconds and scrolling the list of icons one by one by means of the mouse-wheel (sending alt+right/left) instead of automatic cycling.

Edit:

So far, the best apps I've been able to find an try are
VistaSwitcher
AltTab++ (AltTabPP)

« Last post by kilele on November 21, 2012, 09:32 AM »
Thanks for trying!
oops I've just read the post from which Skrommer got the idea for his program,
and there seems to be something very similar to my request:
https://www.donation...20.msg83272#msg83272
and the direct link to the code mentioned by Lanux128 can be found here
Ah maybe I should try to get back to coding, I used to code in fbsl long time ago.

Coding Snacks / Re: Alt+Tab on the corner
« Last post by kilele on November 21, 2012, 08:13 AM »
I think this would be my preferred way to launch this alternative alt-tab menu:

The top-edge (with 1 secs delay) instead of the left-edge,
and instead of automatic cycle through, one could move through the listview depending on whether the user moves the mouse rightwards or leftwards (down and up on the listview)

Coding Snacks / Alt+Tab on the bottom left corner
« Last post by kilele on November 21, 2012, 06:55 AM »
This follows the idea of Skrommel's AltEdge
but instead of showing the Alt-Tab menu when the mouse is on the left edge of the screen,
it would show a listview with the name and icon of every app,
besides i'd like the left bottom corner instead of the entire left edge.

BTW other nice apps by Skrommel are SmallMeasure and DetachVideo

Is win8 lighter and faster as for consuming resources? if so it may be a good idea to give it a try, I guess MS is preparing their OS to be fully compatible with both desktop and tablet hardware to get into the lost market of touch devices. Their win7 was being used by few people so with this win8(failed win7+1) they expect to get into the mobile market from their strong position in desktop pc.

Easy Screencast Recorder / Re: LATEST VERSION INFO THREAD - Easy Screencast Recorder - v1.12.01 - Apr 22, 2015
« Last post by kilele on November 20, 2012, 07:33 AM »
I've just read Vlastimil's suggestion for a quick and dirty screencasting tool with limited options: low quality, only one format (*.mov), a few buttons, send to youtube, gdrive, skydrive or dropbox.
Something like the java applets of screencast-o-matic or screenr, but simpler with very few options to use from the commandline and accepting parameters to directly capture windows controls (useful for developers to invoke it as a plugin as explained by Vlastimil)
This reference might be of help to develop such application:
http://stackoverflow...re-using-java-applet

Edit:
suggestion: add commandline parameters to run with a minimal gui
