Fixed the folder drag/drop bug and the hidden icon. I added xxxx.ico,0 for the resource but also left IconResource=0 as that is what Win 10 uses. if I use xxxx.ico,0 on my system it doesn't work. Can anyone else confirm that?

Update: v2.3 - Height and Width are no longer used. Message auto-sizes based on the size of the message. Added the option of having no title. Made some changes to the UI how the OK button and DNS check are shown as well as the background color.

I can can add the option to remove the title bar, but without it you will not be able to move the window. I'll look into the auto-size. The blue icon showing is a bug. I'll have that fixed on the next release.

Update: Version 2.0 is now available!

I added:

- <timer_sec> (shows the timer countdown only in seconds)
- an optional ok button for the user to click to close the message
- a optional checkbox to allow the user the option of not showing the message again
- you can set an icon for the message (one of 4 icons: warning, error, info, and help)
- and now all parameters can be passed at command line.

Hope you like it! - http://vdsfreak.com/...303589185/messagepop

Made a quick app to take screen shots of a selected area and create a PDF. Freeware!

Just run Screen2Pdf.exe, select the area, and save the PDF.

Finished round 1 - http://cl.ly/0q3s1H0J2y2S

Here is a quick video showing how it works - http://cl.ly/1p0J0r3z0K39

[Select]

This application is to notify users when the "server" (system running NNServer.exe) has been idle for "X" number of minutes. The default time is set to 15 minutes.

How to:
Put the NNClient.exe and the NNServer.exe in the same location somewhere on a server on a network accessible by anyone that needs notified and the user that will be running the NNServer.exe.

For example, the server is set to the drive letter F:. Put the EXE files somewhere like F:\NNApps. Make sure the folder is properly mapped on each system that will need access to the EXE files.

Run NNServer.exe on the user’s system that will be the "server" for the notifications.

Run NNClient.exe on any system that needs to be notified. When the server has been idle for the set amount of time, the RED dot in the system tray will change to GREEN.

It would be the first. Having a 3rd system that would be the server where the Server App (running on her system) and the Client App (running on the other systems) would be located.

I think I can make something like that for you.  I'll get back to you in a day or so, will that work?

Both the Server app (running on her system) and the Client app (running from the other systems) will need to be run/accessed from the same server location (something like F:\Apps\Network Notification). Will that be an issue?

While an 11 hour drive sounds nice, it's a little out of the way for me. But I would be there if I were a lot closer. :-)

Thanks for the invite though.

Yep, it's going to be an optional parameter called SubMenus. Was a quick add and I'll be uploading a new version soon.

« Last post by c.gingerich on March 29, 2016, 09:20 AM »

No QuickJump does not have sub-menus for sub-folders, that is by design. I wanted it to be fast and having to loop through sub-folders and create sub-menus adds a lot of time to creating the menu. I do not think I will ever create sub-menus for folders. What I may do in a future release is make pseudo sub-menus that only show when clicking on the folder menu item. That way they are generated on the fly and will not make it much, if any, slower.
