N.A.N.Y. 2019 / NANY 2019 - Android App - Streak Tracker
« Last post by mouser on October 28, 2018, 06:58 AM »
Streak Tracker for Android is a productivity utility meant to help motivate you.  It's a simple app that lets you create a list of activities and specify for each a time window in terms of hours/days/weeks/months that you must regularly perform the activity in order to keep your streak going.  The idea is to motivate you to perform activities regularly by keeping your streaks going.

# if, when editing, I could delete last entry in history - currently can only delete all. Although is that just text that can be manually removed?
Yeah, I'll work on improving this, it uses same system as WhenLast, in that the history has to be manually added.  Currently you can remove the last performed action by manually editing it and removing it.

# if it showed number in spite of no streak limit being added i.e. if I don't define a streak length, and click the button, it remains at zero.
Good point, I'll make it so if no streak length is set, it just shows a counter that doesn't reset.

For my needs PM has the disadvantage that I can do something ten times in one day, not at all for the next nine days, and still have the same score as if I did it each day.

I'm open to adding some complicated options for scoring.

« Last post by mouser on October 28, 2018, 06:41 AM »
Point Motivator for Android is a productivity utility meant to help motivate you.  It's a simple app that lets you create a list of activities that are worth different amounts of points (possibly negative), and keeps track of your "score" when you engage in the activities.

It's based on my old windows application of the same name, which you can find here.

Screenshot Captor / Re: 2+ suggestions: use Last filename, Screenshot Panel opt. only recent captures.
« Last post by mouser on October 24, 2018, 12:14 AM »
1. As seen in other posts, slowdowns occur if there are too many pics in the screenshots folder (I don't want to move pics to subfolders etc. Besides if choosing 'thumbnail' option I don't want the generation of too many thumbnails anyway), so it would be great to have the option: 'Screenshot Panel only for recent captures'

That's a really interesting idea.. Maybe with an entry at the bottom for "show all".. Very interesting..

1b. and to have the recent ones not saved to file yet, just as provisional* files in RAM

This is quite a bit more involved and probably not worth the trouble.

2. To have an option: %lastfilename% , so eg. if I save a 'cat001" , the next one offered in 'Save copy of image As' woud be 'cat002' and so on, if I get offered then 'cat003' and I decide to write 'tree001', the next offered one would be 'tree002'... (also if there's already a 'bird009' in the folder, and I click (or hover to highlight) on it, I wouldn't get the 'file already exist, do you want to replace it' popup, but get offered 'bird010'.


Hmmm... SC already automatically adds a number to filenames if needed to keep them from overwriting an existing file..

A "streak" tracker! That's a very good idea!
I think I could adapt my code to do that pretty easily..

So for each item you could specify how often it has to be done to keep the streak going (daily, weekly, or monthly).
The items would have a NOW button just like WhenLast, and would show you the last time you did an item, but would also tell you how long you have kept the streak going.

Screenshot Captor / Re: ScreenShotCaptor at 4K resolution
« Last post by mouser on October 22, 2018, 09:00 PM »
No worries. It may have been that if the resolution changed after SC was already running, that it didn't adjust itself to the new resolution until you restarted.

Web Link Captor / Re: Malware Bytes thinks this is ransomware
« Last post by mouser on October 22, 2018, 06:33 PM »
The "generic" label should be a hint that this is just another false positive.  Not sure what it's unhappy about except that Web Link Captor involves performing internet searches, and the fact that it's not a very popular tool.

It's been a long time since I updated WLC, but I assure you there is nothing nefarious about it!

LaunchBar Commander / Re: taskbar questin
« Last post by mouser on October 22, 2018, 05:51 PM »
LBC should be very happy to start minimized to the taskbar, but as I think was rgdot was suggesting, the trick is simply that it will remember it was minimized to the tray, so just start it once, minimize it to tray, and in the future it should always startup minimized to the tray.

Screenshot Captor / Re: Thumbnails don't show embedded objects
« Last post by mouser on October 22, 2018, 05:48 PM »
The thumbnails are automatically created by the operating system, and therefore should have the objects in them, as the objects graphics are saved to the image files.
If they aren't showing right after you save the files, it may be that the operating system is not properly refreshing the cache of thumbnails.  I'm not sure why this would happen, but try restarting SC or rebooting even.
Another thing you might try is if you have hundreds of images in your screenshot folder, you might try moving most somewhere else or into a subfolder to make it easier to see what's going on.

LaunchBar Commander / Re: One config for x86 and x64
« Last post by mouser on October 22, 2018, 05:38 PM »
Hmm this is an interesting point.

I'm assuming you are talking about when you create a LBC node to show the contents of a folder?

You can specify multiple folders to list the contents of by using a | character between them, so you could specify for the folder contents the directories explicitly:
c:\Program files | C:\Program files (x86)

And that should do it..

But I could make the %ProgramFiles% expand to do that automatically..

Can you confirm that this is what we're talking about?
