FWIW, I encountered uploading difficulties using the uploader program from virustotal.  That's my main mode of interaction with them.  Is there some reason the uploader would give better uploading experiences?

I also occasionally have difficulty with uploading to at least virustotal.  After a few incidents I think I was under the impression that it had to do with the time of day I was making the attempts -- but this is just speculation.

I'm having trouble getting :dropItem: / :dropItem1: to work.  Using the following ini file, I don't see notepad opening the files I drop on the WinButtons button:

Code: Text [Select]
  1. [Settings]
  2. left=-1
  3. top=-1
  4. closebutton=1
  5. border=1
  6. taskbar=1
  7. movable=1
  8. [Buttons]
  9. button1=New Button 1
  10. dropcommand1=notepad.exe :dropItem1:
  11. caption1=New Button 1

Am I doing something wrong?

FWIW, using :dropList: (example below), I see the behavior I expected for :dropItem: / :dropItem1:

Code: Text [Select]
  1. [Settings]
  2. left=-1
  3. top=-1
  4. closebutton=1
  5. border=1
  6. taskbar=1
  7. movable=1
  8. [Buttons]
  9. button1=New Button 1
  10. dropcommand1=notepad.exe :dropList:
  11. caption1=New Button 1

Trying out WinButtons (3.2.0.1) with an ini made via WinButtonsEdit (0.8.4.1):

Code: Text [Select]
  1. [Settings]
  2. left=-1
  3. top=-1
  4. closebutton=1
  5. border=1
  6. taskbar=1
  7. movable=1
  8. [Buttons]
  9. button1=New Button 1
  10. command1=notepad.exe
  11. caption1=New Button 1

Clicking on the close button does not appear to have any visible effect.

Thank you both for the feedback :)

I was intrigued that the AutoIt3 docs for HotKeySet list F12 under "The following hotkeys cannot be set":

  http://www.autoitscript.com/autoit3/docs/functions/HotKeySet.htm

My opinion on this so far has been that it makes sense to be able to configure things to make it possible to use F12, but that I'd tend to shy away from making something F12 by default.

Really, I wish there were some comprehensive and consistent guidelines for this sort of thing :(
1783
I hope a digression regarding F12 will be tolerated :)

I've been curious about F12, especially what's mentioned at:

  http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms646309%28v=vs.85%29.aspx

The F12 key is reserved for use by the debugger at all times, so it should not be registered as a hot key. Even when you are not debugging an application, F12 is reserved in case a kernel-mode debugger or a just-in-time debugger is resident.

Any reflections regarding this?

I've seen it used elsewhere (e.g. Irfanview)...

PS. Ironically named key, don't you think?  "Fn" as in "how can I reach that "effin" key?!" !!!!!!    :D

I had difficulty reading WinButtons.Readme.txt -- perhaps it is related to the default formatting, my display, how I set up my editors, etc.

Attached, please find an attempt at an alternate view of the file in question.  Not the easiest thing to create / maintain perhaps...

If you mean the movie viewable via:

  https://www.donationcoder.com/Software/Mouser/screenshotcaptor/Movie_ScreenshotCaptor/ScreenShotCaptor4.html

I also noticed the movie stopping shortly after hearing something like:

  "Let me just bring up some windows here..."

I tried this with relatively recent versions of FF, Chromium, and Midori -- viewing a downloaded version of the movie.  FWIW, I was able to hear further using smplayer.

May be the screencasts for ScreenshotCaptor mentioned in the topic / thread:

  https://www.donationcoder.com/forum/index.php?topic=19375.0

can work as substitutes.  I think they may be more recent too.

I can have multiple instances of WBEdit running. That allows me to see the configuration that I'm creating and side-by-side at the same time any of the example configurations. That's a very handy, interactive and WYSIWYG way to pick up relevant values for the various fields.

This sounds quite handy.  Thanks for mentioning it  :Thmbsup:

The ebook is Modern Perl, which is provided by the author in epub format as well as PDF.
Coincidentally happen to be reading it - quite a demystifier :)

On a tangential note, tried the EPUBReader and Lucifox Firefox extensions here and noticed that they both appear to cut off long lines...at least in their default behaviors.

WinButtons 3.2.0 and WinButtonEdit 0.8.3.1 (RC4), available from the original release post.
When I fetched (via browser and Perl script) what I thought was the latest from:

  http://ath.dcmembers.com/files/winbuttons/WinButtons.zip

I saw version 0.8.2.0 listed for WinButtonEdit.exe via "Properties" and its About box.

FWIW, the MD5 of the zip I got appears to be:

Am I missing something?

Have been trying out WeeChat (0.3.5) and am liking it so far  :Thmbsup:

Nice docs, nice plugins (perl, python, lua, weeget, mouse, grep, etc), ..., much niceness.

Hoping the OTR stuff becomes a bit easier soon.

I'm not seeing the zooming controls show up (Dolphin and Android's browser) for some (many?) wordpress-using places, e.g.:

  Perl 6 Advent Calendar
  Python Conquers The Universe

I thought it might have something to do with:

Code: HTML [Select]
  1. <meta name="msapplication-window" content="width=device-width;height=device-height" />

but the following also seems to have that and I can zoom in and out there...

  WORDPRESS.COM

Wonder what the deal is...

Some notes from trying 0.8.2.0...

Verified the following here:

  • ! Fixed Tree selection issues when clicking a button in the preview
  • ! Fixed File/Open, File/Save or File/Save as... then selecting WinButtonEdit.ini gives a warning and doesn't open/save that file
  • ! Fixed Initial treeview didn't display the expander image on the last Group tree-item when not expanded initially
  • ! Fixed File/New to create the Empty group in the tree
  • ! Fixed Deleting all buttons crashed with array-index errors

Hurray  :Thmbsup:  (Please note that I didn't verify all items.)

Some reflections:

  • As I was deleting nodes from the treeview, I tried the Delete key first, then discovered Control+D via the context menu.  I got to thinking that I've got these unconscious expectations of shortcut keys :)
  • I didn't figure out a way to get buttons to move among groups.  Is this intentional?
  • I chose File -> New to eventually end up with an empty group.  I noticed a Test button in the preview but no listing in the treeview.  When I chose "Insert button" from the context menu of the treeview, I expected to see a new node in the treeview, but I didn't see one show up.

Thanks for the new release.  Hope to try it soon :)

from Vista and up Ctrl-A selects the content of the edit. Seems that's a feature since Vista was introduced :o

Not sure if I want to 'fix' that for Windows XP, as it's also not available in any standard Windows input control.

Hmm, more reason to use SelectAll I guess...pardon the plug ;)

Thanks for the intents to attend to certain issues, the clarifications, and work-around suggestions :)

...and now to respond to a few points:

I found choosing a color via the "Change..." button for Color to not work if starting with a blank value (no value got filled in to the text field for Color:), while I found that the corresponding choosing sequence of actions for Textcolor did work.
I can see no difference for these two buttons (not in code, nor when testing), but when 'creating' a custom color, it needs to be added to the colorset by using the button 'Add to Custom Colors' before it will stick. (This has been tested quite extensive before release. It uses the standard AutoIt Color Selection Dialog with any of it's 'peculiarities' that I can't do much about)
I think I chose a custom color for the first button but not the second.  My bad.

Any chance of Control+A selecting all text in text fields?
Eh, it does what you expect on my system, and I have done nothing in WBE to enable or disable that. Got another script catching ^A, perhaps? (AKA: Works on my machine... :o)
No scripts running when I tested -- once via a VirtualBox Windows XP SP3 guest and once on a notebook running XP SP3.  I hear a sound but there is no selection.

In the tree view, multiple nodes appear selected sometimes: view WinButtons.ini, choose <no group>, ensure the corresponding treeview is expanded, choose scite, ensure the corresponding treeview is expanded, click on the 'Push 1ce' button in the preview, click on the Notepad node under the <no group> treeview
Hm, another case of 'Works on my machine...' weird. I do the de-selection and selection of treenodes using standard AU3 included functions, and can not see what you describe. I'll test some more, and add a small delay in between, that might improve things.
Could be something with the OS/Video drivers, what's your configuration? (Tested with Win7 with Aero on nVidia GTS 250 with drivers 8.17.12.5896.)
Also tested on WinXP running on VMWare and on 125%/120 DPI, and I see some odd behavior there. I'll try to fix that, if possible. The treeview control is a nasty beast sometimes, I've seen in the past :(
Reproduced issue in the same environments as mentioned above (XP SP3).

Regarding WinButtons itself, is there any support for dropping things on to buttons?  I searched for relevant information in this topic and WinButtons.Readme.txt unsuccessfully.
WinButtons is not a drop-target, but I could add that if you want/need it. Could you give a more elaborate description for what/how you'd expect to happen there?
I was thinking it might be nice if it were possible to specify in the configuration that a certain action would be taken upon drop (e.g. execute a command passing the path of what's dropped -- assuming what's dropped has a path or set of paths).  Does that make sense?

But I had fun (and inspiration) while working on it, that's the most important gain I had from it :up:
+1

So I've been trying out the editor (according to the about box, I see 0.8.1.0) a bit and have some initial feedback:

  • I found choosing a color via the "Change..." button for Color to not work if starting with a blank value (no value got filled in to the text field for Color:), while I found that the corresponding choosing sequence of actions for Textcolor did work.
  • Any chance of Control+A selecting all text in text fields?
  • I accidentally opened the WinButtonEdit.ini in the editor -- not a good idea right?  Any chance of some kind of warning or protection?
  • I see that clicking on a button in the preview will select a node in the tree -- except it doesn't appear to work for the Pink-Online button in <no group> in my default WinButtons.ini.
  • In the tree view, multiple nodes appear selected sometimes: view WinButtons.ini, choose <no group>, ensure the corresponding treeview is expanded, choose scite, ensure the corresponding treeview is expanded, click on the 'Push 1ce' button in the preview, click on the Notepad node under the <no group> treeview
  • When I open WinButtons.ini, initially I don't see a + expander next to the scite group in the left pane.  When I select the scite group though, the + expander appears.
  • When there isn't much space in the preview, is there a good way to move it without accidentally pushing the buttons that fill most of the space?

Regarding WinButtons itself, is there any support for dropping things on to buttons?  I searched for relevant information in this topic and WinButtons.Readme.txt unsuccessfully.

Thank you for:

Environment variables can be used by using %env.variable%

I didn't find it in the docs, but by looking at the samples I noticed that it looks like one can use relative paths.  :Thmbsup:
