Hi, Rev01Yeti, and welcome to the DonationCoder site.  Regarding your request, perhaps it might make more sense if you could provide us with an example of the text you're copying to the clipboard.  Then, show us what you'd expect your list to look like afterward.

General Software Discussion / Re: Looking for a Foto Resizer that follows (multiple) shortcuts
« Last post by skwire on December 14, 2013, 08:45 AM »
sounds very good to me skwire :)
-tomos (December 14, 2013, 12:57 AM)

Here you go.  I used vlastimil's PhotoResize for my tests.  However, you could use this script with almost any app that accepts a filepath on its command line simply by changing the path on the first line of the following:

Code: Autohotkey [Select]
  1. PathToApp := "C:\tmp\PhotoResize400\PhotoResize400.exe"
  2.  
  3. Gui, Margin, 3, 3
  4. Gui, Add, Text, w170 h100 0x1200 Center, Drop some shortcuts...
  6. Return
  7.  
  8. GuiDropFiles:
  9. {
  10.     myLinks := ""
  11.     Loop, Parse, A_GuiEvent, `n, `r
  12.     {
  13.         SplitPath, A_LoopField, , , OutExtension, ,
  14.        
  15.         If ( OutExtension = "lnk" )
  16.         {
  17.             FileGetShortcut, % A_LoopField, OutTarget
  18.             myLinks .= " " . OutTarget
  19.         }
  20.     }
  21.     If ( myLinks )
  22.     {
  23.         Run, % PathToApp . myLinks
  24.     }
  25. }
  26. Return
  27.  
  30. {
  31.     ExitApp
  32. }
  33. Return

If you're open to the idea, I could easily write you a proxy script that would accept your shortcuts, extract the path to the actual image file, and then pass that path to an existing resizing app.  How does that sound?

Not sure if this has been reported.
I am on Windows 8.1 x64
I have Steam installed and use it to play Civilization V
When sWeather is running Civ crashes when loading saved games.

If I exit sWeather, the saved games load fine.
-GHammer (December 12, 2013, 12:03 PM)

Very strange.  Does it only happen with Civ V?  I do have Steam and it seems to work fine with sWeather running.  Unfortunately, I do not own Civ V nor do I have Windows 8+.

Gave this a test and I like the very well-designed interface and history functionality.  However, I cannot make successive captures work.  I'm doing the following:

  • Start the app.  Icon in tray.  Good.
  • Press F9.  Cursor changes to crosshair.
  • Select a region.  Cursor changes again.  Right-click and choose Upload.
  • Image is uploaded, url copied to clipboard, and all is well to this point.
  • Press F9 again.  Cursor changes to crosshair as before.
  • Selecting a region does not work now.  That is, I don't see the translucent window.
  • The only way out is to press Escape or kill the process.

Tested on two W7/64 systems with the same results.

Hi skwire - just a small bug (that may have been reported already) :
if you enable the date/time etc in the titlebar, the time doesn't keep up with the system time until a refresh (either manual or weather data refresh).
-joiwind (December 11, 2013, 05:57 AM)

This is actually by design so let me explain.  Rather than code up my own time zone functionality (which would be a HUGE pain in the ass given all the different time zones in the world, daylight saving, etc.), sWeather uses Time Zone API found here: http://www.worldweat...m/time-zone-api.aspx.  I simply pass it the latitude and longitude coordinates I get from the weather location and it sends me back the time.  It's easy and works very well (keeping up with all the different time zone idiosyncrasies of the world).  I use the free API which has a limited number of API calls per hour so I only query it when the weather is refreshed.  I also didn't want sWeather running a per-second loop to update that in real-time, either.  In other words, sWeather isn't a full-fledged world clock.  However, now that you mention it, I could put a help button next to that option explaining this limitation.  I hope that helps to explain things a bit.   :)

1. I'd prefer typing into the script the name of the folder to act upon in the deletion process, just to be absolutely sure.  Would save user time as well, as opposed to the Windows navigation routine.
2.  Possibly a way of giving a signal that task has been completed.  "Done."
-nkormanik (December 09, 2013, 08:34 PM)

Here you go:

Code: Autohotkey [Select]
  1. ; Add filenames to save here, one per line.
  2. FileNamesToSave =
  3. (
  4. keep_this_one.png
  5. save_me_as_well.png

  7.  
  8. ; Folder to recurse.
  9. myFolder := "c:\5"
  10.  
  11. Loop, % myFolder . "\*.png", 0, 1 ; Recurse through PNG files.
  12. {
  13.     ; Store some values.
  14.     myFilename     := A_LoopFileName
  15.     myFileFullPath := A_LoopFileFullPath
  16.     SaveFile       := False

  22.         If ( myFilename = A_LoopField )
  23.         {
  24.             ; Filename to save matches.
  25.             ; Set as true and break out.
  26.             SaveFile := True
  27.             Break
  28.         }
  29.     }
  30.  
  31.     If ( SaveFile = False )
  32.     {
  33.         ; Change to FileDelete to delete directly.
  34.         FileRecycle, % myFileFullPath

Here's an AHK snippet that should meet your requirements:

  1. ; Add filenames to save here, one per line.
  2. FileNamesToSave =
  3. (
  4. keep_this_one.png
  5. save_me_as_well.png

  7.  
  8. ; Get folder from user.
  9. FileSelectFolder, myFolder, , 2
  10.  
  11. If ! ( ErrorLevel ) ; User did not cancel.
  12. {
  13.     Loop, % myFolder . "\*.png", 0, 1 ; Recurse through PNG files.
  14.     {
  15.         ; Store some values.
  16.         myFilename     := A_LoopFileName
  17.         myFileFullPath := A_LoopFileFullPath
  18.         SaveFile       := False
  19.        
  20.         ; Iterate through filenames to save and
  21.         ; check against currently parsed filename.
  22.         Loop, Parse, FileNamesToSave, `n, `r
  23.         {
  24.             If ( myFilename = A_LoopField )
  25.             {
  26.                 ; Filename to save matches.
  27.                 ; Set as true and break out.
  28.                 SaveFile := True
  29.                 Break

-pstein (December 05, 2013, 03:48 AM)

That was my original intention in writing this app.

Why not extending it to a full (or at least advanced) portfolio management tool?
-pstein (December 05, 2013, 03:48 AM)

A few reasons:

  • See above.  The original intent of the app was a quick way to check multiple stock prices.
  • It seems there are plenty of applications already out there that do portfolio management.  No need to reinvent the wheel.
  • I simply don't follow the stock market enough to care about portfolio management.

« Last post by skwire on December 05, 2013, 09:20 AM »
hmm, twice now this morning though, I've had a problem with display when scrolling horizontally using the Ctrl+mousewheel combo. See shot - what has been scrolled disappears; also what I am scrolling towards does not show - so the visible area gets smaller all the time. Also, it jumps to ~23% CPU (i.e. most of one core).
-tomos (December 05, 2013, 04:33 AM)

I have seen this occasionally with some of my apps as well.  Unfortunately, I'm not certain what causes it so it's very hard to debug.

would it be possible to speed up the horizontal scrolling?
-tomos (December 05, 2013, 04:33 AM)

Please check the changelog of the new version.  The hack doesn't work quite as smoothly as I'd like but I think you'll be able to find a balance.
