Find And Run Robot / Re: Pause/Break hotkey sometimes blocked by other programs
« Last post by ewemoa on February 04, 2012, 09:11 PM »
Do you mean that VirtualBox is blocking Pause/Break for FARR, similar to my experience with Revo Uninstaller?

Yes.

I presume you have Alt + Space enabled in FARR Settings > Hotkeys.

Yes, I set that to test it.

Find And Run Robot / Re: Pause/Break hotkey sometimes blocked by other programs
« Last post by ewemoa on February 04, 2012, 08:46 PM »
Some programs are blocking the Pause/Break hotkey when they have focus (and only then -- no problem if they are running but not the focused program). Under that condition, Pause/Break does not open FARR,

Similar situation here for VirtualBox 4.0.10.

although Alt + Space will open it.

Not here.

I don't know what is going on in any detail, but I'm under the impression there may not be anything that can be done about it -- happy to be wrong about that :)

My testing was with Windows 7 Pro 64-bit.

Thanks for the screencasts (and the functionality!)  :Thmbsup:

I've watched the first two so far:

Using object capture (multiple objects, capturing all children)
Basic scrolling window capture

These seem to me to be good introductions to the new overall functionality covering the four paths on the initial screen of the new dialog:

  • Save the selected Object/Region Image
  • Save the selected Object/Region Image and Choose Another
  • Scrolling Window Capture on Object
  • Capture Multiple Images, One for each Child Control

Heard / saw some nice tips:

  • Ctrl+Click being blocked by some apps (and what to do in such cases)
  • Resetting after guessing / modifying margins and/or overlaps
  • Including the outer border in a final image

I think it's particularly useful to see concrete work flows along with commentary about what might be a typical order of operation and possible variations  :up:

On a side note, I've wondered about the placement of the "Test Window..." and guess buttons -- when I first tested scrolling capture I didn't know which controls / buttons might be useful to interact with and in what order.  Don't have any concrete alternative ideas apart from having those buttons appear above other controls -- but I'm not confident this would be clearly an improvement.  Any thoughts along these lines?

mahesh2k: Which distribution(s) are you trying?

I tried putting together some .deb packges for some Windows apps (to run via wine) and am testing them out.  If they work out, may be I'll make them available for download.  Any interest?

Here is one flow that seemed to work here for a manual sequence (Windows 7 Pro 64-bit):

1. Populate CHS with clips (e.g. copy clips while CHS is monitoring clipboard) and verify via CHS Main Window
(can be done via tray menu or hotkey [default Ctrl+Alt+w]):

1. chs-main-window-with-clips.png

2. To specify the top of the stack, right-click on a clip and choose "Stack Marker - Start":

2. chs-main-window-stack-marker-start.png

3. Bring focus to target paste area and use hotkey (default Ctrl+Alt+V) to paste.

4. Repeat previous step as necessary.

There may be other ways to do things too -- e.g. there appears to be a "Set stack start marker" in CHS' tray menu and there appears to be a way to assign a hotkey to "Stack Marker Start" in the Hotkeys area of the Options dialog.

I didn't figure out how to get pasting-in-sequence to occur automatically.

Ah sorry about that.  The tray icon menu image I posted was obtained from an older source of info -- I wasn't at a machine running Windows at the time.

I've updated the image to be what I see currently.

I nice AHK-like program for Linux is Autokey. It uses Python as its scripting language but is otherwise similar in function to AHK

I didn't succeed in getting it to work with xterm.  Has any one else had luck with this?

About the command object : this is very nice. I wasn't sure at first. I understand that this mean assigning a keyword on a set of multipanes selection. You can then reinvoke the command later. Do you understand it that way too ?

Yes. 

IIRC, in QS, the action for invoking a command object was "Run".  I think usage was like:

  • Bring up command object in first pane
  • Make "Run" as action in second pane
  • Invoke

The font I use is arial, and it probably doesn't handle cjk characters. I'll need to give an option to use alternate font so that it works.

Thanks for the explanation.  

I have my fingers crossed that changing the font will get things working :)

I do notice that the text goes a little funny from time to time and starts showing vertically.

I have also seen similar behavior occasionally but I haven't figured out how to reproduce it.

Selection should be a quick add for the keyboard, but the mouse would be a pain : I didn't found a good way to get the position of characters with the gdiplus lib. If someone know a way to do it I'd love that.

Sorry, I have no idea.



You can go up one level in the hierarchy by using ctrl+backspace right now, it will go back to the precedent space or \ like in the text edition mode. ? is a good idea but I'm not sure what I'm going to do on my azerty keyboard. I was really thinking to have \ complete the current folder, this is the reverse, I think I'll add it too. I'll probably move some keys on my keyboard ;)

Thanks for the tip -- Ctrl+BS worked here.

Do you think using the left arrow key is a bad idea?



The one thing that I'd really like to do now is to allow users to create custom rules from the settings. Rules are the internal way I store the various arguments and available command of items.

The general idea sounds nice :)

On a related note, may be you've seen the following already -- the QS Manual has a section that begins:

Command Objects and Droplets

Commands in Quicksilver can be represented as objects in Quicksilver. To create a command object, activate Quicksilver and enter a command as you normally do, but instead of typing return to execute it, instead type ⌃-return. You’ll see a new command window appear in which the object is a new command object of the command you entered and a default action which is probably Run.

The section continues with information about functionality for scheduling commands and other bits including the saving of commands to a file.



I'd also like to give rules special background : a google look when you search google, an amazon look for amazon, but this is more for the fun...

Mmm, sounds good!

I hope to respond to your most recent post soon.

Just a quick note -- I didn't find Qatapult to handle some non-Latin text (e.g. CJK).  Specifically, pasting of such text in the first pane showed garbled results:

first-pane-content-garbled.png.png

Not sure how to phrase this appropriately -- perhaps it is Unicode-related?

Thanks for the update :)

Qatapult remembers the last files you got from the file explorer. Just time the name of that file once you used it once and it should be there.

Nice!  Got this to work.

"Current selection" pseudo object (Quicksilver call them proxy ) is now the currently selected file from the explorer (ewemoa special ). I don't have multifile support inside Qatapult, so it will only take the first file for the time being but it would be totally possible to add the whole selection.

I was able to get a folder which was selected in Windows Explorer to open using "Current Selection" + "Open".   Also tested successfully: "Current Selection" + "Explorer here" and "Current Selection" + "Cmd here".

When I tried "Current Selection" + "Properties" for a file, I expected to see the properties dialog, but I didn't see any result.  Was anything supposed to happen?

Multiple file support would be nice -- especially for things like compression, computation of hashes, batch file conversion, etc.

The text moves are more complete with ctrl+back, ctrl+del, and control moves, etc..

Thanks!  I successfully tested Home, End, Ctrl+BS, Ctrl+Del, Ctrl+Left, and Ctrl+Right successfully.

On a related note, do you think eventually one will be able to select text with mouse and or keyboard?



BTW, when directory browsing (e.g. C:\Program Files in the first pane) with the results list visible, is there a recommended way to navigate up one directory level?  My brain was wired to press the left arrow key, but I when I tried that, I didn't notice any change.

Found the following section in the QS Manual (Files and Folders section):

Back up a folder hierarchy by typing ← or ? (i.e., a shifted / on a US keyboard). This can backup all the way to the root directory

I don't think I ever used ?, but used the left arrow key.  What do you think?



FWIW, my tests were on Windows 7 64-bit.

Yes I know that some basics of text editing are not there right now. That's due to the fact that I need to reimplement a full text editing control that can work within a transparent window. Noone seems to have developed and share a control like that. Handling all common control shouldn't be too hard anyway.

Sorry to hear there don't seem to be appropriate ready-made parts.  I hope it doesn't take too much of your energy / time working on this aspect.

raw text is not available for new command right now but I'll add these for sure. I also need to add some contextual mode selection so that text commands only appear when text is available and file commands only availables when a file is selected. That's should not be a problem anyway.

Looking forward to these things!



Attached is an updated helper program which provides a tray icon for the time being :)

I made the following using the GIMP.  It is an analog of what you might see on a "confidential" document in at least one Asian country.

To use it, I put it in the Watermarks directory -- which on the system here was under Clipart\Watermarks within the SSC installation directory (XP SP3).  This directory is easy to get to via SSC's main window by starting at the SpecialFX menu:

  Watermarks ->
    Explore Watermark Directory

I'm not sure how SSC detects new images, but it seemed to pick it up without a restart of SSC.
