Site/Forum Features / Re: Discussion: How can we Improve DonationCoder?

« Last post by mouser on April 26, 2010, 03:26 PM »

Regarding the points about the site name..

When I first set up the site, the idea was to see if enough people would be willing to donate to support the development of my software, enough to let me continue developing it.  Truth be told, i didn't have high hopes that the site would survive very long.

What happened is that the site has evolved because of the amazing people that have decided to make it their home.

The name of the site doesn't perfectly match what the site is anymore.. But i'm not sure it's practical to change it.. Names have a way of gaining emotional traction and momentum, and changing the name would cause all kinds of havok and confusion.

yeah i think the only problem here is that farr may try to replace the $$c and THEN match what you type against the captions (before the |), so that if you type anything matching what is on your clipboard, those 2 results will show up.

FARR Plugins and Aliases / Re: Alias: Send email to Remember The Milk

« Last post by mouser on April 26, 2010, 02:30 PM »

Ok works fine you just have to know how to format it.

Here is an example mailto with a body and newlines in the body so you can do line breaks:

mailto:[email protected]?subject=hello there&body=I'm just writing to say hello%0A%0Asigned, me

notice that after the email address comes a ? then you have the variable=value parts separated by & signs.  the %0A are newlines.

to see how to set bcc,cc, and other info see: http://www.ianr.unl....internet/mailto.html OR http://www.netmechan...s/vol5/html_no17.htm

hi satch,

good questions.. there should be a way to do this, and you seem to be trying the right things.. let me try as well.  if i can't get it to work i can try to modify farr to handle sending body text properly.

some really good thoughts so far, keep 'em coming.. i think what i may do is try to summarize the main ideas and divide into categories of ideas that don't involve any tradeoffs and are things that can't backfire, vs. things that need debate because they could impact things negatively.

General Software Discussion / Re: Here we go again with false positive antivirus actions bricking computers

And whats the point of having an anti-virus that will act as a virus itself?

  maybe we need a new kind of software utility:
"AntiVirus Watchdog"

it's job is to watch over all anti-virus program activity and kill the antivirus if it gives a false alarm.

Check to see if you profile is set to receive email notifications and newsletters:

the checkbox setting is automatically unchecked as soon as even a single email bounces, so it's easy to have this happen.

« Last post by mouser on April 26, 2010, 10:47 AM »

new release:

v2.79.01 beta - Apr 24th, 2010

• [MinorFeature] SaveAs now does higher quality (less compression) saves; useful for occasional jpg saving.
• [MinorFeature] SaveAs now remembers your last default file extension used.
• [BugFix] When creating thumbnails, or using saveas or save+ , sometimes pushing the copy filename to clipboard button would copy the PREVIOUS filename to clipboard; this could result in file path to full image copying to clipboard instead of new cropped thumbnail.
• [MinorFeature] Added option to use transparent background when resizing canvas or adding captions.
• [MinorFeature] Started showing different icon when in timed capture mode.
• [Feature] You can now customize the directory pattern for the auto-moving-old-screenshots archive feature.
• [MinorFeature] Added MoveTo menu item to move all screenshots into archives.

« Last post by mouser on April 26, 2010, 10:43 AM »

Version 2.87.01 beta - April 25, 2010

• [MinorFeature] appcapappendmemo now auto scrolls to bottom of memo.
• [MinorFeature] new alias launch string to explicitly go to end of memo  (gomemobottom)
• [MinorFeature] modified text in alias dialog to make clear alias name was also trigger text
• [MinorFeature] attempt to remove some blinking from memo mode when text doesn't change.
• [BugFix] attempt to extend max length of environmental variable replacement in things like search directories
• [Feature] you can now refer to the currently selected result (or first result) using a variable replacement (%CURRENTRESULTNB%); especially useful for triggering actions via hotkey.
• [Feature] you can now recursively include file contents with the #filecontents alias string.
• [Feature] improved and documented the use of * for alias pattern to always match search against contents.
• [Feature] added -exitifnotrunning commandline option and clarified help on others.
• [Feature] added error on commandline args that aren't understood.
• [Feature] now checks the return value from plugin Initialize function; if false is returned, the plugin is not loaded.  This could break plugins that have been returning false from the Initialization function in the past with no effect.

Find And Run Robot / Re: Scrolling the output of appcapappendmemo

« Last post by mouser on April 26, 2010, 10:41 AM »

right now it ALWAYS scrolls as lines are added.. we might want to add an ability to turn that off; in fact i'm sure we want to add an ability to only do that if you are at bottom already, otherwise you wont be able to manually browse while lines are being added.

grab the new beta from https://www.donation...AndRunRobotSetup.exe

then just create an alias and give it an alias name of *
(OR new: just set the regex pattern to *)

then every search will be matched against the contents of that alias.

hi lacnel0t, sorry for delay in replying.
i'm afraid i don't have any experience running the software on your kind of setup.

the best i can suggest is that you try the winpcap support forums and see if anyone knows anything about getting the winpcap driver to work with that modem.

I find on some sites that sometimes it take me a few moments to realize I'm not looking at a content page.

agreed -- it should be really clear you are on a 404.
