Isn't that what a perfect PoC should be? You started a project with the object of learning something new, you did, you made a few mistakes/errors/bad decisions/n00b faults, then to throw it all away and use the knowledge gained for a real project. Kudo's

General Software Discussion / Re: Objective upgrade Netbook with XP to Netbook with Win 7

« Last post by Ath on October 08, 2013, 01:39 AM »

As far as I know, there is no upgrade path from XP to Windows 7.  You have to do a clean install.

-wraith808 (October 07, 2013, 10:42 PM)

Correct, but it's possible to do the in-between step of Vista. It'll feel like hell, taking ages for 2 consecutive upgrades, but if an upgrade is required to keep some unique application installed, it's a solution.

Though I do advise to make a clean W7 install, if only for stability and sanity.
W7 can quite easily be installed from an USB stick. Step-by-step procedures all over google.

Following the (standardized) suggestion that ewemoa posted, I'd go for com.miva2.<apptype>.<appname>, just like a Java classpackage.
If it's specifically community/freeware opensource software (OSS/FOSS) it could use org instead of com.

Using DonationCoder in your packagename would suggest you either 'work' for DonationCoder, or made it specifically for DonationCoder, both of which aren't true (afaics).

iOS7 can be installed on a iPhone 4 (though I didn't do that yet on the iPhone I get to use for work), so just the size/resolution would be a difference

Oh, and what would the output file have to look like?
And be aware that the output file will be between 6 and ~32 times the size of the original image file, depending on the information and format. But that would be problematic an big files only, I'd expect.

Basically i think is the effect of a virus one year ago or more.

So your best bet is to re-install Windows from scratch, it will probably solve several problems.

You have your directories messed up or moved the files.

Showing the content of the listas.bat would slightly help, but checking any executable called from that .bat, to exist on your system and in a directory that is listed in the PATH environment variable, is the actual solution.

Simplest free suggestion:
Use LibreOffice to open a Text document, and use readers for all other formats, then copy/paste at will into the LibreOffice text document
Gives highest accuracy and biggest flexibility

Depends on how quick you need it. I'd even consider it for a NANY project, but the request is still a bit slim, maybe a somewhat more detailed description could set me in the right direction.

I've asked my daugther, she's studying graphical design, if she'd be interested in creating a design, and she said Yes 

It'll probably take a couple of days, but I hope to show some design(s) asap.

Now to find some Cody images for reference...

There is not any special protection system ?. By example that OCR don't go in a PDF.
 

-Contro (September 06, 2013, 07:54 PM)

OCR can work off of screenshots, so there is no way to 'prevent' that.

Getting strange characters from a copy/paste may indicate that the receiving application is not uni-code aware/capable?

Most PDF editors/writers have options to create protected pdf's, it's usually an option at save-time.
