Yeah, several windows refuse to resize to a size smaller (or sometimes bigger) than a given size :(

Developer's Corner / Re: Help with autohotkey: Command line switches
« Last post by jgpaiva on February 18, 2008, 01:52 AM »
Well, that's easy.
[Select]
NumberOfArguments = %0%

FirstArgument = %1%
SecondArgument = %2%
ThirdArgument = %3%
I recommend using this method of extracting the arguments to named variables, since '0','1','2' and '3' are pretty crappy names for variables!

Great work!! :)

And i'm glad there's a superior alternative to ftpupload ;)

About the empty password.. How about if you used "" to mean empty password?

Actually, DC's posts are indexed by google in about 1 hour :)

Also, i don't think that adding google ads would improve our google rating...

Probably for that you need a more dedicated tool.
There are online sites that do webpage capture, i'm sure they would get you better results. Some of these have been posted here at DC, but i can't find any :(

I'll add customizable keyboard shortcuts to jump one screen on the next build. (for me, the best is win+h, win+j, win+k and win+l for left,down,up and right respectively: that's what VIM uses and i've configured that in opera like that too ;))

About maxtron: yep, that has happened to me, still figuring out what it is.

Edge indication: currently i'm working at the functionality level, i'll add that after ;)

perhaps it would also be useful to prevent a window from going outside of the boundary so that you know you've reached the edge of the work area.
Unfortunately, preventing windows from going outside the boundary isn't something i know how to do at the moment.

forgot to say that i never got to try the 'jump' version as i was offline whilst you were playing with it.
Yes, i noticed. I'll restore it in a future version (with a decent implementation)

Now.. About the hotkey. There are a few problems here. Dragging with rbutton isn't a good option, because there are browsers that use right-mouse dragging for mouse gestures, and lbutton+rbutton can't be used either because it interfeers with normal usage of the mouse.
I could set it to use a combination of the other mouse buttons,but not all mouses have those :(

Incredible coincidence.
This topic is a coding snack aiming to do something VERY similar to this.

JGPaiva's GridMove and Ahk Tools / Re: Gridmove refuses to work with Songbird
« Last post by jgpaiva on February 16, 2008, 03:45 AM »
Yes, it's because it is a skinned window.
If you disable "safe mode" from the options, it should work ;)

The problem is that it'll work for ANY window, and there are some windows you don't want it working with (because they are not resizable).

Ok, and updated again. Added the "move everything other than the window under the mouse" feature, on win+rbutton drag.
I also changed the window setup to a 2x2 square, looks like the best size.

I'm just reporting that Brandon told me GridMove works perfectly under Windows Vista. I'd like to get a few more opinions on this, to make sure it's stable in Vista, since i can't test it myself.

Well.. Then you should be using farr V2 ;)

It looks better, works better, has better support and has better features!

Ok, i didn't understand you correctly.

Just to check.. Doesn't doover.ini solve that problem? The whole macro is under the "macro" key, on the [settings] section.

And another update... It doesn't ignore the placement of the taskbar anymore! (this is REALLY turning into something very useful ;) )

I just tested this setting the "MaxVerticalScroll" to 0, and i think it's the best way to use it. It implies more dragging, tough, so, i added the 2:1 movement, and things are better now.
(i disabled the "jump" feature, i was finding it WAY too anoying)
Check out the new build!

Ok, i just implemented the "jump" feature and i'm not sure about this... It's just counter-intuitive for it to jump like this.

How about if we added a "pan speed" feature? Something that when set to 2, would make the screen move in a rate of 2:1 to the movement of the mouse (currently it's 1:1). This'd make it really fast to pan without making these strange jumps. (possibly i'm not enjoying this feature much because it isn't really that well implemented, though  :-[).

See the other post for the new download.

have you uploaded a screengrab by mistake?
-nudone (February 15, 2008, 12:27 PM)
I did, sorry :)
I just uploaded yet another version, and this time it looks VERY good, probably the best solution found. (still isn't detecting the taskbar and thus it's moving to the wrong place, but it works fairly well).

Now.. on to the "move by a screen" feature.

I just uploaded another version, with the "keep focused window on screen" thing working... Well, sort of.

I'm finding it to be quite anoying, to say the truth. What do you think? I'm having trouble moving windows around (the damn screen follows the window) and it's constantly moving the screen, becoming more of an anoyance than a feature.

Right now, i'm finding another problem: everytime you close the app or restart it, it thinks it's in the middle of the screen (while you may have closed it when it wasn't at that position), and everything gets confused. I won't solve this right away, but it's easy to solve through ini files.

Ok..Another update:

updated: added "keep active window on screen" feature. Works like this: when you alt+tab/select a window that isn't completelly on screen, it moves there. If you have just moved, it waits 5 seconds for you to focus another window and then it'll move the screen back to the focused window (which might be offscreen).

Right now, looks like that works fairly well. I'm thinking that the best solution to this problem isn't this one, though.
I'll make so that it'll set the Desktop to the active window after moving (actually i thought of this when i wrote the above phrase, it's the perfect solution :)) which will solve the problem of it going back to the previous place ;).

Your idea about moving by whole screens makes much sense. I'll add something allong those lines.

I see your idea with spacebar.

The big problem about using spacebar for this, is that then the auto-repeat for spacebar would go away. So, anything that relied on you keeping spacebar pressed (flash games, for example) wouldn't work.
The auto-repeat would go away because the script would not pass the spacebar press to the OS until the spacebar was released, because it'd have to wait for you to press left button (or not).

I'm now thinking win+drag or that key you mentioned might be the best solution. (curiously, the key in my keyboard is backslash, thus the earlier confusion ;) ). Notice that i didn't mean spacebar+\ (or something else), but \+lbutton.

Ok, so i just tried the "keep window on screen" feature and it works terribly bad. It conflicts with the whole idea of the program in a few times.
How about a hotkey to move the screen to the active window? Any suggestions? (maybe win+lclick?).

Yes, i've already thought of stuff around those lines. The "placer" might be something quite hard to do, but the border sure is possible, i'll add it later.

Hi rpiz!

Welcome to DC :)

Which version of Find+Run Robot (FARR) do you have? I'm not sure if the v1.x has DcUpdater support.

Anyways, try selecting "check for updates / install new plugins" from the FARR menu in the tray area (the place will a few icons, next to the clock), that should solve the problem :)
