Screenshot Captor / Re: PrtSc key does not work on Lenovo W530 laptop

« Last post by Ath on May 26, 2014, 03:35 PM »

Let's first ask a silly question:
Is the ScreenShot Captor icon (white letters sc on a blue computer-monitor) visible in the system-tray? And can you right-click it to execute a capture option like 'Grab entire Workspace' or 'Grab entire Screen (PrtScr)' ?

Living Room / Re: Programmers: What size monitors do you guys prefer?

« Last post by Ath on May 23, 2014, 06:03 AM »

I tried to find a 4K 'rated' TV/Monitor like this one, locally, but the 'smallest' I found so far are 55". And Amazon doesn't ship this cutie to EU

@Deozaan:
I am a bit worried about the refresh/flickering at 30 Hz; is that in any way noticeable? I can be quite tiring if the screen is flickering, even when hardly noticeable.
Though technically our 50 Hz AC frequency shouldn't interfere in any way with the 30 Hz of the screen, I'm not convinced until it's actually tested and proven

Why leave out the SSD? I'd go for a 250 GB or bigger if the budget allows it. Or is price the reason you left it out?

For TLS support the command i gave was:

[Select]

SendEmail -f [email protected] -t [email protected] -s smtp.gmail.com:587 -xu [email protected] -xp xxxxx -u "Hello their" -m "How are you." -o tls=yes

The error message i got was " SMTP-AUTH: Authentication to smtp.gmail.com:587 failed. "

Are you sure you want to use this: -xu urname@gmail.com.com ? Shouldn't that be like: -xu [email protected]

General Software Discussion / Re: Advice needed about splitting or re-sizing a partition ...

« Last post by Ath on May 09, 2014, 12:48 PM »

On that small a harddrive, I'd keep the single partition, to most efficiently balance the application/data ratio.

I find that 80 GB is quite small for a system-drive, at least for Win7..., so fixed-reserving space for a data partition doesn't feel 'right'

You can build it for Windows, with the instructions available, but that only confirms the 'hackable' feature, imho

Oh yes, that's been used for over 25 years, with the introduction of the PC AT and the IBM Enhanced PC keyboard^w and this page about Arrow keys^w. It may have been mostly a marketing term, though.

The question is more like "can the window needing to be sent the hot-key, be uniquely identified, either by it's title or window/control-id", and you telling MilesAhead/us what that unique title or id is...

What for?
The most you'll get out of it is around 5 to 10%, but you'll hardly notice the difference.
Replacing the HDD with a current model at 7200 rpm or an SSD is going to gain you much more improvement, especially when processing (stored) data.

Btw, that processor was eol'd over 2 years ago, and the combination of model ('Pentium') and GHz (3.0) doesn't give much room for speed improvement.

It's probably the dcmembers.com server acting up, as my subdomain there has similar issues

Mouser probably has to press some buttons to fix it, or maybe he's already on it

Screenshot Captor / Re: [Doubts] One Pixel Difference in Selected Region and Dimension Display

« Last post by Ath on April 05, 2014, 07:20 AM »

1) Hm, for region select, I'd expect to get the selection inside the selection-box that I've meticulously drawn around the stuff I'd like to capture using the enlarged view near the cursor, and not have 1 extra pixel-row added on any of the sides. For a full-screen grab there are other options available. When needing a partial screenshot from the bounds of the screen, Mouser's advice/suggestion has been to take a capture of the entire screen, and edit that to the desired size. So I doubt if this is a bug of any kind.
It could be convenient to have that pixel-row included when selection is at the bounds of the screen, though, even when there is an optional extra monitor displaying at that bound of the current screen, but that would be a feature-request, IMHO.

2) Yep, that would be 'nice to have', now the size just disappears when getting to close to the screen boundaries, so an up-vote from me
