If you

Maybe I'm wrong but that looks like it's a countdown timer.

-4wd (May 07, 2013, 12:48 AM)

If you set the minutes to zero, it acts as a countup timer.

Perhaps my TenTimer app would fit the bill?  http://skwire.dcmemb...m/fp/?page=ten-timer

If not, give this article a read; maybe one of those is more what you had in mind.  http://lifehacker.co...s-timer-applications

My bet is on SnapTimer.  =]

v1.3.6 - 2013-05-06
    * Changed it so that all timestamps in the list are in hh:mm:ss format.
      This is to get around some silly Excel auto-formatting issues when
      importing an exported CSV file into Excel and having Excel think that
      mm:ss timestamps are hh:mm:00 format.  (Thanks, P. Loshuk)
    ! The selected time field wasn't cleared when clearing the list.

N.A.N.Y. 2010 / Re: NANY 2010 Release: ClipTrap

I have the security of knowing everything is captured.

-BGM (May 01, 2013, 10:07 PM)

ClipTrap seems to work well for you in this respect?  I ask because I don't use it all the time (and less than before since I switched jobs a few years ago).

Here is what I would like to see:
An option to set a maximum size to the clip.txt file.
When that size is reached, the clipfile gets renamed with an incrementing number.
And a new clip.txt file is created and set as default.

-BGM (May 01, 2013, 10:07 PM)

Hmmm...have you given thought to using a proper clipboard manager like mouser's Clipboard Help & Spell or ArsClip (the one I use)?  I wrote ClipTrap as something between a real clipboard manager and using nothing at all.  It also only does text...no rich formats, etc.

Coding Snack Guidelines / Re: Looks like I still dont have a final solution for a custom directory list :(

Sorry:  I tried to explain it as best I could.

-questorfla (April 30, 2013, 07:41 PM)

That's the thing, if you can provide us with a sample of the directory structure you're working with, you won't have to explain it; we'll be able to visualise it.  So, in a new folder, build a small sample of what you work with.  Then, go to the root of this sample in a command prompt and use the "tree /a /f" command to display a nicely formatted output that we can interpret.  After that, give us an output based upon your sample directory.

In other words, show us your starting point and your ending point and we'll figure out the route between them.  =]

Skwire Empire / Re: Trout: show panel with lyrics from local text file

« Last post by skwire on May 01, 2013, 12:47 AM »

I'd rather not add another panel but I can easily make the lyrics panel display a text file, if it exists, that matches the currently playing filename as you describe above.  If such a file doesn't exist, the panel would search for lyrics as it does now.  How about that?

It's still rather unclear exactly what you want in the end.  For requests such as these, it's imperative that you:

1) Provide a sample file structure.
2) Provide a sample of what you expect the output to look like given #1.

N.A.N.Y. 2011 / Re: NANY 2011 Release: Snap DB

« Last post by skwire on April 24, 2013, 09:25 PM »

Yes, that's basically what I am after.
I know Snap DB doesn't do it. I am trying my best to avoid using one more program filled with to do and other data though. That's why I asked here in the Snap DB thread.

-rgdot (April 24, 2013, 06:06 PM)

It really wouldn't take much to create a simple to-do list app with only the minimum of what you're looking for.  Something like:

• Single column listview with checkboxes
• Add/edit/delete buttons to add/edit/delete entries.
• Arrow buttons to manipulate the list.
• Autosave the list.

Your thoughts?

N.A.N.Y. 2011 / Re: NANY 2011 Release: Snap DB

« Last post by skwire on April 24, 2013, 05:08 PM »

This probably needs a new thread/program but I will ask any way. Is there any way Snap DB (or one like it) can have a checklist? I mean I am looking for a simple flat file DB with support for a yes/no field.

-rgdot (April 24, 2013, 03:19 PM)

No, Snap DB does not do this.  However, I'm positive there are a myriad of small "to do list" applications that would probably fit your needs.  Is that something like what you were after?

I tried using 'net use' but it didn't work for me. But if it works for you, perhaps I did make a mistake somewhere

-Losdollos (April 22, 2013, 02:21 AM)

I use the command like this:

net use s: \\server\c mypassword /USER:jody /PERSISTENT:NO

I always use the "/PERSISTENT:NO" option and then I either put a shortcut to the batch file in my startup folder or simply run the batch file manually after booting.  If you need me to break down the command part by part, just ask.

Hi, Losdollos, and welcome to the DonationCoder site.  I know you've searched far and wide, but have you tried this?

FWIW, I've solved this problem over the years by using a batch file with "net use" commands to map my drives.

I predict lots of feature requests..

-mouser (April 14, 2013, 06:01 PM)

I foresee this as well but I want to keep it very simple and very clean.  There are many more advanced and complex applications in this field and I've really no desire to re-invent the wheel.

Is it for end of day or 15-minute delayed quotes?

-PhilB66 (April 14, 2013, 06:11 PM)

I think it's the end-of-day quote as the description is "Last trade."  Again, I'm no stock expert by any means.

Hi, william_r_s, and welcome to the DonationCoder site.  Since the AWA application doesn't appear to be downloadable, perhaps you might be interested in a similar program by mouser:  https://www.donation...Mouser/desktopcoral/

If that doesn't work for you, let me know, and I'll write a replacement for AWA.

General Software Discussion / Re: which file format is more accurate to save webpages?

« Last post by skwire on April 10, 2013, 11:19 AM »

that it will lossly save all the webpage and its related files, eg videos, scripts, etc,

-kalos (April 08, 2013, 04:53 PM)

kalos, you need to realise that most videos (and other embedded types of content) are, for lack of a better term, hidden when it comes to saving webpages.  I'm not familiar with httrack so maybe I'm completely wrong here.  Maybe rgdot can let us know if the application saves videos and such.
