General Software Discussion / Re: What Are Your Views On BUGS?
« Last post by jgpaiva on February 03, 2008, 01:44 PM »
Except when they are in programs i write, then they are just minor inconveniences barely worth mentioning.
;D ;D

Truth is that when i started making coding snacks for DC, my view on bugs and developers suffered a major change. I am now way more tolerant with bugs, and don't get mad at the developers anymore when my program crashes and takes my computer with it (unless i was doing something important... which i always am :P ).

Anyway I just registered to make this post. :P
And you did very well!!

Welcome to DC ;)

How about something like this:

An app with a tray icon. Right-click the tray icon for "new note" or "see past notes" or "search past notes".
You select "new note", an edit box comes up where you type and submit, and the text gets saved.
You select "see past notes" and the past notes get presented (not sure how yet).
You select "search past notes" and a dialog comes up, so that you can type search expression. You press enter and notes are displayed.

What was the problem with evernote? The fact that it was on the tray area instead of explorer context menu?

If it wasn't that, maybe we can create a simple note handler that'd work from the tray area.

Hi lusher!

You can't links stuff with the "no follow" attribute here on DC, they'll get appended to the url and will render the URL invalid.

Also, linking to the download itself probably isn't the way to go, as people probably want to read more about the software before downloading it.. ;)

Hefty Hippie: have you tried evernote? It's as simple as it gets. You just right-click its tray icon (the icons next to the clock) and select "new note" to make a new note :)

Hi harmonv!

The .jpg isn't stored for long on their servers (if you try the URL now, it doesn't work).
That's why the forum has the "attach file to post" feature, so that you can download the image and then upload it with your post, and it'll be stored on DC ;)

What’s is the shortcut for maximizing a window from the taskbar :tellme:
That's the problem... There isn't one :)
You have to look for the right window with alt+tab, and when you release alt+tab, it'll be restored (come out from the taskbar).

Hi, FWIW, alt-spacebar, n has worked to minimise the active window, for me, since Win95.  Nice to see some quick coding solving your problem in the way you want, though.

Will
That's true, but double-shift press is soo much more confortable than pressing alt+space and X.
Also, i've got alt+space reserved by the great FARR :)

Scroll lock works the same way it worked before, minimizes to taskbar the active window... It does the same as pressing the minimize button, just as double-pause does the same as pressing the maximize (middle) button.

Oh man, that was funny!

My favourite quotes:

Halo 3 for xbox
Marty won one finally

It's interesting nobody has ever made a post about jibjab, their sendables sure are fun stuff! (one of my colleagues even made a sendable with one of our professors and showed it to him during the class. It was a real laugh :D)

@nogojoe: sure, replacing those is very easy... I attached the modified script to my post.

Regarding shift press, please test this new version ;)

; minimize the current window when pressing right control twice quickly
; maximize the current window when pressing right shift twice quickly
#NoEnv
SendMode Input
#NoTrayIcon
Delay = 250

~ScrollLock up::
If (A_PriorHotkey = A_ThisHotkey and A_TimeSincePriorHotkey < Delay)
WinMinimize, A
Return
~Pause up::
If (A_PriorHotkey = A_ThisHotkey and A_TimeSincePriorHotkey < Delay)
        {
            WinExist("A")
            WinGet, MaxState, MinMax,
            if(MaxState = 1)
              {
              WinRestore
              return
              }
             WinMaximize
        }

Return

I see this idea, looks really cool!

I have another suggestion: how about if it accepted several trios webpage regex1 display and displayed each on its own line?
This way, we could have a bunch of predifined cities when people wrote "weather", and the first one would be the one people typed in.

JGPaiva's GridMove and Ahk Tools / Re: GridMove Grid Making Tutorial
« Last post by jgpaiva on February 02, 2008, 07:15 AM »
Ok... That thing with the grids definitelly isn't good.
Now, what i find really strange is that the grid is only made once and never more touched... I really don't know what that is, but i'll take a look at the code.

I know making GUIs with VS is really easy, but VS doesn't work with the language i'm using (www.autohotkey.com) ;)

Now i understand the thing about the resize. What i really find strange is that there's code to prevent that. Probably it isn't working correctly!

On this page you should post a link to irc://irc.servercentral.net/#donationcoder
I think you'd better PM mouser about that ;)

gridmove safe mode is not working with drag to edge (I don't know if that's intended)
You mean that with safe mode enabled, you can move windows with drag to edge that you can't with drag on titlebar? I just tested it and can't..

drag with middle button clashes with other applications needing the middle-button
(e.g. I use it to resize pictures in IE using middleclick+srollup-down)
What about middleclick on title bar only?
I know about that. But to be honest, it's way easier than drag on titlebar, and to have drag with middleclick on titlebar, it'd be almost the same as drag with left button on title. Thus, the best solution is to add the annoying window to the exceptions (present in the latest build)

with save mode on I can't resize some popups although they are resizable
(indicated by the resize handle - see attachment (can't you check for that resize
handle since it indicates (standard behaviour) a window being intended for resize)
Now that's strange... Is that a skinned window?
I can't improve the current detection (it even wasn't me who found how to do it!), but i suppose that's caused because someone is using a strnge, non-standard method for resizing windows :(

how about moving settings to new tab in "settings" (about/help)
instead of making the right-click menu bigger each time sth new gets added
I've made several atempts at doing this, but still haven't found the courage to complete it. I will someday. (making GUIs is a royal PITA)

when dragging the window to a trigger area holding the mousebutton, then
rightclicking you can change templates - but only some - why?
That's because there's a cooler way to do what you mentioned ;)
There's an option named "set grid order". That allows you to define which windows appear in that rotation :)

One problem though. Sometimes the grids get messed up and you have to
click reload so that problem that messes the grids up has to be solved first.
How messed up do they get? what happens exactly?

The trigger area should only work starting right of the titlebaricon ending left of the minimize button,
but if you look at Resize.jpg and Grid.jpg you'll see what I mean
This is also a problem when I'm trying to click on a button in Miranda... always messes up the size
Maybe an undo last window in the rightclick menu?
Sorry, but i don't see what you mean...
(there's a "last size" grid element that does that undo ;). You can find it in the edge grid template).

Thanks for the grids!!

Here are my favourites:

When Richard Stallman makes a sudo command, he loses permissions.
Richard Stallman doesn't write programs, they write themselves out of reverence.
Richard Stallman's computer doesn't have a clock, it defines what time it is.

Just in case someone doesn't know who RMS is, check the wikipedia article. (oh, and shame on you! :P)

And... Here's another adition:

{
    WinExist("A")
    WinGet, MaxState, MinMax,
    if(MaxState = 1)
      {
      WinRestore
      return
      }
     WinMaximize
}
If you use that instead of WinMaximize, A, you'll get a maximize toggle effect ;)
