Post New Requests Here / Re: "Merge field" function

« Last post by Ath on December 19, 2013, 01:35 PM »

I'm getting an error: Line 574 Error: The requested action with this object has failed.
I have triple-checked my syntax, and it seems okay.

Can you share your template (anonimized ofc, PM for e-mail) and the exact errormessage & optional logfile? I'd like to debug this some more.
My current finding is that you have some conditional thingy that triggers the error, if it's actually in the Excel2Html program.

You should not have the .xls(x) file open in any other application, like Excel, maybe that's the issue?

Try downloading the files with an other browser, that usually fixes it.

Could it be that you have a conflict in the hotkeys, that starts 2 applications, SSC and something else?

Hm, I don't fully get what the use-case is, here.

Some programs I don't want to close on <Esc>, and others explicitly support that (and it can be disabled) so that's also just fine.

You should have a look at the ConfigDir.ini file in the directory where you installed BTS. It contains detailed information on how to move the location of these files.

- Virtualized folder? So the file may have been stored in C:\Program Files\blabla, but Windows tucked it away in a virtualized folder, C:\Users\Username\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files\blabla

General Software Discussion / Re: The Open Source debate

« Last post by Ath on November 13, 2013, 08:55 AM »

It's a bit of a pitty that you had to mention the name of the product and it being open-source.
The only way you'll probably get the application on board is from a functional viewpoint: your users should tell that stubborn/short-sighted IT-guy that they want/need that application to be able to do their work properly, and that IT needs to provide it to them to be able to stay in business, instead of the other way around.
This is of course based on the assumption that a functional shoot-out has already been done
The fact that it's open source should not be part of the equasion.

« Last post by Ath on November 08, 2013, 09:36 AM »

AFAICS, FTP is not secure enough to be considered for transporting sensitive stuff across the internet, so DropBox and Wuala are often used as an alternative.

Find And Run Robot / Re: [Solved] Multiple parameters to URL?

« Last post by Ath on November 05, 2013, 01:40 AM »

 ^car (.*) (.*):(.*)

results where $$1 substitues the first word matching (.*)

-wjamoe (November 05, 2013, 12:46 AM)

This only works when typing exactly 1 space after the first word.

A more reliable regex for capturing separate words, independent from the number of spaces, would be:

[Select]

^car (\w*)\s*(\w*)\s*:?\s*(\w*)

This way you can even have 0 or more spaces around the colon.

Can you describe what the selection criteria for the area to capture are? Software (at least AFAIK) has no eyes, so it can't make a visual selection, but needs exact directions on what to select & capture.

Living Room / Re: Android upgrade ... help ... lost internet page shortcuts

« Last post by Ath on November 01, 2013, 02:37 AM »

I've seen similar things happen when upgrading my Sony Xperia telephone. Feels like the default storage location for the home screen is changed in some way. A next upgrade, a few months later, made the same thing happen, but seemed to restore the old storage location (some old shortcuts returned...)
Maybe this is related?

Didn't find a solution though, those storage locations, if preserved at all, are in an area only available with root access, and to enable root access you seem to have to wipe all settings first. Ergo: No dice, no cigar
