Mouser's Zone / Re: Bug Tracker - UPDATED READIN PLEASE
« Last post by brotherS on November 06, 2005, 06:41 AM »
Mouser - are you working on integrating logging in between all these new features so that we only register once - and stay logged in from page to page?
I believe he is - but the "stay logged in" option is very helpful too, you just need to register once first.

I don't think so, AutoHotkey is very powerful. But maybe it would be easier in C? No idea...

Just want to add that if you are really interested what happens to your bugs and feature requests you should create an account first. Mantis offers excellent features for bug tracking, using email.

just a note: f+r is excellent at this kind of thing and the next release will come with builtin command for imdb and many others.
Great! I'm looking forward to having screen captured "what does it do?" and "how to do?" videos of some cool DC apps and torrents to download them :D

@all: check http://azureus.aelitis.com/wiki/ if interested

I'm still not shure about this, but give me a few hours and I'll see if I can wrap it up.

My StreamCastTitle reads from WinAmp's bookmarks, and shows the title and more in a listview.

Any suggestions for improvements?
After thinking about it a bit, here they are:

a) allow the user to resize the window with the mouse
b) in the GUI, allow to choose which columns are to be displayed (I'm most interested in the "Now playing" column and a tiny window)
c) allow to "import #[insert number here] from playlist" or - even better - "import what's playing now" (if possible) - the playlist is text only, should work
d) insert a checkmark column as the first column, where you could easily enable/disable a source from being updated (some streams are not interesting all of the time)
e) just thinking out loud for this one (probably hard to add): add a "update interval" column where one could set how often that stream needs to be updated. For example, streams that play single titles would need an update every 60 seconds, streams that only play longer live shows maybe only every 300 seconds.

If you can't or don't like to add all that right now just get it out in the wild ASAP or let me beta test it first. :D

Thanks!  :up:

brotherS, how do you search IMDB using AutoHotkey? I'm curious.
Hi zridling,

curiosity is good! :)

I use that script below, the beauty of it is that you can use it in IE or Firefox or any other browser (just type .imdb in the address field) and even in IRC chats or when you IM a friend.

:*o:.imdb::
InputBox, SearchWords, IMDB Movie Search, Enter your search words separated by spaces:
StringReplace, SearchWords, SearchWords, %A_SPACE%, `%20, All
SetKeyDelay 0
SendRaw http://akas.imdb.com/find?q=%SearchWords%;s=all
return

Ghoster is really cool, even if I have to activate the active window again when I disable Ghoster.  :Thmbsup:

It doesn't just look like an Outpost clone, it IS Outpost!
To quote Paranoid2000 from the link you provided: "Please see Lavasoft Launches Leading Personal Firewall Solution - Lavasoft have licensed a version of Outpost from Agnitum with just the Attack Detection plugin (the full version includes Active Content, Ads, Anti-Spyware, Attachment Quarantine, Content and DNS Cache plugins)."
So Lavasoft just removed some of the good stuff and sells it for a lower price... :(  :down:

I could cycle through those files instantaneously by hitting "a", "b" and "c". However, once I had any other letter than a, b or c AND THEN REATTEMPT the "letter selection" thing THEN I have a delay. It's hard to explain :/
Thanks for adding that, now I understand :)

Since I used Windows Find a lot and now use Locate (read https://www.donation...dex.php?topic=1385.0 ) I don't run into this tiny annoyance that often, never really thought about it much...

I just want to thank mouser for his wonderful pages, for his excellent ideas and all his work, I really like the idea behind the donationcoder site.
I copy that, it's awesome what mouser did and does for the site! DonationCoder.com is great!  :-*

So I'm very happy that I'm now part of this community and that I can support mouser and the donationcoder fans with some free licenses of WebSite-Watcher (WSW got the Best-Software-On-The-Planet award in April 2005) and a 50% discount for donationcoder members who don't have the luck to win a free copy.
Feel free to add your site URL and maybe a few details to your forum signature. :)

Living Room / Re: Time for a rant - blacklist
« Last post by brotherS on November 03, 2005, 10:35 PM »
Horror stories float around all the time about this or that guy that found his IP on the black list of one of the many company that mantains this kind of service. But how stupid can be to ban entire IP blocks "by automated default" with some automathic triggers, when you risk to lock out dozens of people? Often getting an IP out of a black list need days if not weeks!!
EfNet seems to attract lots of bad people too, so they need some kind of protection. Happened to me once too, never happened to me on another major IRC network - I guess they use another kind of protection.

It's not so bad to don't use IRC at all. :)

OK - next source of embarrassment - how do I end quoting another poster and start my own comments on a white background?
Just start to type AFTER the last quote tag :)

Suggestion: Quote a quoted post just to see how it looks there, don't save it.

They should offer a PerfectDisk only deal, but I guess they just want to sell DiskState more often :D

Just wish the interface was easier to use ... it would be so good to edit the delays in the table rather than have to open a properties page, and confirm you want to open it for each app ...
Err... did you notice that you can just click an app in there and move its bar from left to right, according to what you want? :D

Excellent find - I like the look of that.

I have been looking for something like this for years to cure startup bottleneck ... now to install and play ...
Same here, searched everywhere, didn't find anything really good. Then I found Startup Delayer and convinced them that the missing 5% I wanted would be really cool to have and they added it. :D

Finished Programs / Re: simple tool needed: start x.exe in y seconds
« Last post by brotherS on November 02, 2005, 06:05 AM »
Actually, is it possible in AutoHotKey to pass arguments ? If so you could create a script that does something like:

StartInXSecs.exe 30 C:\Prg.exe

This would be really useful for shortcuts, and especially in the startup process where it would be good to build a delay into certain apps starting.
No idea if AutoHotkey allows that, but since AutoHotkey allows quite everything it's possible :D

I suggest to use the nice Startup Delayer instead: https://www.donation...index.php?topic=1399

http://fileforum.bet...Delayer/1088376249/1

Publisher's Description:
Startup Delayer allows you to setup how many seconds after Windows has started to load each program.


I suggest you get the latest beta from http://www.r2.com.au...blicbeta.php?page=12 - they fixed a problem I had in a previous version and improved various things.

This great tool has been running here for quite a while without problems, really great if you like to start lots of programs but still want Windows to start faster by delaying the not-so-important ones.

EDIT:
If you experience the problem that some programs are started twice read https://www.donation...99.msg14556#msg14556

Finished Programs / Re: simple tool needed: start x.exe in y seconds
« Last post by brotherS on November 02, 2005, 04:48 AM »
Marginally modified version here:

I have changed it to seconds (rather than minutes) and added an input field for the filename to Open, which saves having to edit the file.
Thanks Carol, I admit I customized it to fit my needs :) I want to only use it for one .exe and while working with the code I found that it is better to use minutes since I mostly would want to start up stuff in more than 1 minute anyway and one minute intervals are also enough.

@mouser: :D
