FARR Plugins and Aliases / Re: FARR Plugin: AMPL [beta version 0.5.1]
« Last post by mouser on September 26, 2009, 11:38 AM »
you know.. this very cool plugin immediately came to mind when someone on irc asked about the possibility of a farr plugin that could record and playback keyboard "Macros"..

i wonder if AMPL might be extended some day to support recording keyboard macros as ahk scripts.. the really cool part about this is that they could be easily edited later and AMPL already has all the infrastructure for searching and launching them.. and i wonder if another ahk coder hasn't already made such a macro recording ahk script that could be used.

Like i said, lot's of room for different tools for different tastes.  i'm also always happy to hear when people find features they like that they would like to see added to mine (for those stumbling onto this thread from a search: Find and Run Robot).

However, I am skeptical about correcting for typos -- as i've written about here, i find that when programs try to be "smart" and guess what you mean when you make a mistake, the results can often be problematic.  Not to say it's not a useful feature just that i'm always wary about such things.

f0dder please don't make the situation worse by saying things that you know are going to make people feel defensive.
I think everyone has had their say now, and clearly this is something that people feel strongly about on both sides -- but i do think it's been hashed out as much as can be done from over here in the land of DonationCoder and we can should back to our regularly scheduled stuff now..

glad to hear you like the program and welcome to the site.
did you know that one of the most prolific plugin writers for FARR is also czech (username czb).  i'm not sure if such a plugin would be possible though.

Hey, there are some useful tips in there for the socially inept... address your guests by name, for example.

hahahah  ;D ;D ;D ;D

yeah.. i'd love to see microsoft expand a bit and make some videos for the rest of us just on general stuff like.. how to trick people into being your friends.  how to throw a birthday party.. how to go on a date.. how to have a conversation with your friends, etc.

Find And Run Robot / Re: Feature Request: multilanguage keystroke reinterpretation
« Last post by mouser on September 24, 2009, 04:03 PM »
This reminds me a lot of the plugin that ewemoa (where is he i miss him) wrote for FARR, called Bakko:
https://www.donation...ndex.php?topic=16877

  The main point of this plugin is to provide a customizable means for transforming the main FARR window's text field content.  At the moment, "customizable" means that the user can write a bit of JavaScript to operate on the text field content.

« Last post by mouser on September 24, 2009, 03:47 PM »
i thought it would use some kind of cache of file dates or crcs, so only rebuild files that had changed.
keep in mind that i am NOT proposing such a system for a site with daily changing content.  my hope was that it could be used on a site like donationcoder where most of the pages are static.

General Software Discussion / Re: Idea: A content management system that lives up to the name
« Last post by mouser on September 24, 2009, 02:56 PM »
yes, i suppose that would be one way to look at it.
one key thing though is when one talks about "spidering" one usually is talking about scanning some content that one does not have control over.  in this case my intention is that one would have control over the data and be able to add any info that the website builder would need.

BrowserTraySwitch / Re: BrowserTraySwitch & Vista
« Last post by mouser on September 24, 2009, 02:33 PM »
Miles,

Let me help you get BrowserTraySwitch working -- i've spent some time on it with x64 OS and vista, and it should work on all of those operating systems.  Sounds like something else is tripping you up with the program.

That's not to disuade you from entering this quagmire, but to help you -- because it's a jungle out there and i'd rather you benefit from my discovery of relevant registry keys than have to figure it all out from scratch.

Email me ([email protected]) and i can give you a list of registry keys, etc. for working with the default browser for your own creations.

ps. i understand the topic of the thread was meant to emphasize a point, but this is one of these cases where it makes it harder for people to find things when searching -- how about renaming the thread to something more relevant to the discussion?

i'm a *big* fan of DokuWiki.

but it isn't quite what i had in mind for the task we are talking about, mainly for the reasons you mention.

my interest in the discussion on the other page, and related to what you are talking about here, was a way to make a website out of a tree of flat files, where subdirectories and files might have hints about how to treat them when building the site.  things like automatic site navigation menus would be essential, as would building a kind of download page with thumbnail images, etc.  being able to do wiki-like editing online was not something i considered.

Thank you so much for the help, and i'm deeply sorry it took so long to fix -- i've just been trying to juggle a few programming projects at once these last couple of weeks and have been a bit overwhelmed.

A brief explanation of what the problem was:
Ideally one would like to detect that application that triggered the CHS quick popup menu by checking the last active window at the time of trigger.  But this seems infeasible since it can be too late by then.  So instead, CHS keeps track of the last active (non-chs-related) window in the background while you work.  What was happening was that occasionally windows was returning NULL for the current foreground window, for no real reason i can see.  I actually thought I already was ignoring this case, but it turns out I wasn't handling it well enough.

Compiling the non-debug version now, then we'll get to the other requests.
