I think we might need some kind of web service that helps us solve this "traveling salesman" problem..
and i think to keep down shipping charges it should be mostly be sending it between nearest neighbors.

Anyone know a web service that lets people sign up and tracks who should get sent something next?

« Last post by mouser on July 18, 2009, 04:29 PM »

you've got several choices.

first let me ask, do you want the html page with results to show up inside the farr window or do you want the page launched in your browser?

My program PopupWisdom will let you do this pretty easily and it's basically made to do exactly what you are asking for:

Or if you want to have them shown in a screensaver with photos, you can use my MultiPhotoQuotes screensaver:

Or if you want the sayings shown at the cursor when a program is busy, try skrommel's cool HourglassQuote tool:

pattern : ^aa $
results : dolaunch restartsearch pad "this is aa"\n

DesktopCoral / Re: Command-line parameters?

« Last post by mouser on July 16, 2009, 06:16 PM »

it's a bit tricky.. may i suggest you see if you can't use a commandline tool (or rainmeter itself) to kill any running instanced of desktop coral, and solve it that way?
and let is know if it works.

FARR Plugins and Aliases / Re: plugin/JS communication????

« Last post by mouser on July 16, 2009, 04:46 PM »

hmm.. i cant think of any reason you shouldnt be able to trigger it as much as you want..
is it possible that the modal blocking MessageBox has something to do with why it's breaking.. maybe try something like a Beep or similar and do put in a second long delay between calls, just to make sure that's not the problem.

if you manually click the link and do away with the loop, does it work or also give you problems about not responding to clicks?

General Software Discussion / Mozilla gives add-on developers a tip jar

« Last post by mouser on July 16, 2009, 03:40 PM »

Ok this is a good step forward.  Firefox is common enough that this should make people a little more comfortable with the idea of donating to support software, which is a good thing.

Mozilla has introduced a new pilot program for Firefox developers to make a little money off add-ons they've created. Developers now have the option to place a "contribution" button on their add-on page, which lets users donate any amount they wish via PayPal.

FARR Plugins and Aliases / Re: plugin/JS communication????

« Last post by mouser on July 16, 2009, 11:28 AM »

i think you'll need to use something like:
 farr://pcommand sendthisstring

then in set_strval check for if varname is pcommand

czb knows how to do this stuff and his plugins make heavy use of it.

Screenshot Captor / Re: %num% doesn't work when choosing "Save image as"

« Last post by mouser on July 15, 2009, 08:33 PM »

yep, that's a bug -- i'll try to fix it.
the idea is that %num% is a bit different than other replacements, in that it is autocalculated so that it is a unique filename.
ill make it so the saveas calculates a unique number before opening up save as dialog.

General Software Discussion / Re: software to test applicatioin on different monitor resoultion

« Last post by mouser on July 15, 2009, 01:02 PM »

yeah thats a good solution; there are also several programs that will force the window to specific sizes if you want to see how your program window looks at a certain size, but again youd have to move the window around in order to see it if your screen is a smaller resolution.

Find And Run Robot / Re: start disk search only after several characters?

« Last post by mouser on July 15, 2009, 12:59 AM »

you can disable the search folders in the options -- just uncheck them.

ps.
if you want to still be able to search folders occasionally, what you can do is instead of unchecking them, edit them and add a keyword like fs for each of them; then when you want to search the disk you type +fs first.

DesktopCoral / Re: Cannot resize DesktopCoral window, error "List index out of bounds (1)"

« Last post by mouser on July 15, 2009, 12:45 AM »

Exit the program and delete the DesktopCoral.ini file in the program directory (or in your documents and settings\DonationCoder\DesktopCoral\ directory if you are on Vista or Win7).  That will clear any settings.
