Skrommel's Software / Re: Eject/CloseCD

« Last post by jgpaiva on February 06, 2008, 05:38 AM »

I know what the problem is. A recent ahk update broke the following line:

[Select]

if 0=0

Which was supposed to check if there were no command line arguments.
Replace it with:

[Select]

if (list = "")

And it should be fixed

I also archive everything i receive, including forum notifications from DC

I do filter it all into categories with opera, so that it'll look more search-friendly

Post New Requests Here / Re: [IDEA] Autoset audio volume on boot

« Last post by jgpaiva on February 06, 2008, 05:10 AM »

Would you mind if for now it only set the master volume to 0%?

I can do the rest, but not in next few days.

Just place this on the startup group on the start menu.


PS: I just noticed something important: You probably want this to hide the windows startup sound too, but that's impossible. The windows startup sound is "sounded" (that doesn't make much sense, does it?) before the startup programs are launched. Thus, when this program starts, it'll be too late.

PS2: i think i know how to solve it. The sound volume could be set at shutdown. For that, you'd need to have an app always running that would only serve this purpose.

The problem with IMAP folders is due to GMail, according to the M2 dev at Opera...

-nontroppo (February 05, 2008, 10:35 AM)

Glad to know that, nontroppo! Thanks

Note that IMAP support in 9.5 is much improved over 9.25 overall.

-nontroppo (February 05, 2008, 10:35 AM)

Yep, that's what i'm using

PS: the email download is going... Slowly but going. Yay! \o/

And my odisey continues.
I tried to download all my email through POP, and wasn't well succeeded. It downloaded all emails up to 08/2007 and then just said it had no more mails to download.

So... I started again. I reconfigured gmail so that it now archives all email directly, and removed all the labels. Now i'm downloading it all again through IMAP. Let's hope it goes ok now!

Do you use opera's IMAP with gmail, iphigenie?

If not, then that confirms it's gmail's fault

General Software Discussion / Opera M2 + Gmail + IMAP = not recommended

« Last post by jgpaiva on February 04, 2008, 02:09 PM »

Ok, so by this point everyone already knows that opera is the best browser in the world. Then, you also know that M2 is the best email client in the world. And that Gmail is the best email provider in the world.

The problem arises when you combine them.

Gmail uses a tag approach for email. And then, they map this to folders. Then, opera downloads those and considers it's stuff in different folders, and from then on, the whole thing becomes stupid.

Imagine you have a bunch of gmail filters in place. When I receive an email from DC, it comes into my inbox, and gets tagged "donationcoder". (also don't forget that all mails in gmail are under the "all mail" tag).
So... I receive an email from DC, and opera informs me that i have 3 new emails, ALL EXACTLY THE SAME, but in different folders.

Then i find that opera has a "ignore imap folders" option! I set it to ignore all but the "all mail" folder, and life is good... Until i receive the next email, repeated 3 times again. That happens because opera somehow forgot about that "ignore" setting and isn't ignoring any of the folders again.


So now i have a few options:

• I try to figure out why it is ignoring the settings (maybe someone here knows)
  
• I go back to POP (and risk it losing some mails) (and redownload all my email!  )
  
• I configure GMail so that it doesn't have any labels and sends every mail directly to the all mail tag.
  
• 9mm

What do you think?

Actually... No

But i also only have already heard about secunia because they say good things about opera (when compared to other browsers )

I am now reading about gametap. It's something i had never seen and didn't know existed.

They provide a very interesting service, having a flatrate that provides 9 accounts if just great, you can divide with your friends and each one pays 1usd per month!

Deozaan: since you're more informed about it, could you make a post here on DC about it?
