General Software Discussion / Re: Special Clipboard

« Last post by lanux128 on September 17, 2009, 07:57 AM »

I am looking for a special clipboard to sum the text passed to clipboard o allow to select discontinous zones of the text in the same operation to the clipboard.

-Contro (September 17, 2009, 02:39 AM)

item 1 is quite simple and can be done with ahk. check out the code snippet below in which you can append any selection into the clipboard. since i don't always want to append, the hotkey is set as win+c. normal copying is still control+c.

[Select]

#c::
bak = %clipboard%
clipboard = ; Empty the clipboard
Send, ^c
ClipWait, 2
If ErrorLevel
{
    TrayTip,, The attempt to copy text onto the clipboard failed.,1
    SetTimer, RemoveTrayTip, 5000
    Return
}
clipboard = %bak%`r`n%clipboard%    ; insert a separator string here, if you wish
TrayTip, Insert key, Selection appended to clipboard., 1
SetTimer, RemoveTrayTip, 5000
Return

RemoveToolTip:
SetTimer, RemoveToolTip, Off
ToolTip
Sleep, 500
Return

however i'm not sure about the 2nd item.

maybe it's time a new updated version is written from scratch, with additional features such as Vista support & so on.

you can forward your suggestions to the developer of "browser chooser". since he's currently working on the project, it's worth a try.

I m using Media Player Classic i think this is best video editing software.

-harminder (September 15, 2009, 12:50 AM)

MPC is playback only, apart from applying some on-the-fly video effects it can't do any video editing.

lol, that was my thought too.. moreover his only other post so far is about a windows registry cleaner, sounds very spammy.

A lot of the issue is that this is a recurring problem.  A/V companies will go months without false positives and then, all of a sudden, bam, we get a rash of them.  Unless requested, I don't compile any of my AHK apps with UPX.  I don't care about the file size.

-skwire (September 15, 2009, 12:45 AM)

yeah, that's the problem. one update is enough to trigger a whole raft of false alerts. btw, even non-UPX'ed apps will trigger an alarm - only a different kind than a UPX'ed exe. it all depends on the function of the scripts, i guess.

here are some related threads.
• More false virus warnings in compiled ahk utilities #*(%&*(#*(&#(%
• It's time to do something about these AutoHotkey antivirus false positives

I'd love this app, but I run AVG and it won't let me open it, I can't even add an exception. I know it is a false positive, but I can't override

-abent professor (September 14, 2009, 08:58 AM)

what version of AVG are you using? i think newer versions don't have this problem..

General Software Discussion / Do you touch-type or hunt-and-peck?

« Last post by lanux128 on September 14, 2009, 08:08 AM »

recently a couple lamented that the school their kids go to do not have any formal classes to teach typing on a computer. i didn't realise that learning to type is important. do current work scope generally require the applicants to turn in an assessment showing what is their words-per-minute (wpm) speed?

i for one never learned how to type, always relying on word-expanders and auto-correcting macros to correct my mistakes when typing my reports and whatnot. therefore i am curious how important is it to learn to type-touch instead of hunt-and-peck and i would like to open this question to all here. how many of you have learned to touch-type and is it worth spending some time (especially for youngsters) learning it?

Living Room / Re: Hell has frozen over - 802.11n is Finalized!

« Last post by lanux128 on September 13, 2009, 09:56 PM »

yes draft-n is not all bad, it just means all 802.11n standards has not been 'approved', and now they have finally "agreed in principle". but i too was guilty of postponing some purchases due to the draft keyword until early this year when i made the plunge..

checking back, the file on the server seems to be corrupted. only a 210kb file is downloaded instead of the actual size of 409kb. i'll see if i can get a working copy and replace the corrupted one.

Hi, I know this is a really old thread, but I was wondering if anyone knew why this app crashes just after starting it up?

-Savage Alien (September 08, 2009, 04:06 AM)

it works fine here. maybe it wasn't completely downloaded. the filesize of a working copy is about 409kb, compare it with the one you downloaded.
