Living Room / Re: The Curse Of The Web

Thanks for the thought rjbull, something like that is always a possibility.
The tedious part is getting output that is of the kind:


Name   Nickname 1    datum 1
                     ...
                     datum n
       ...
       Nickname n


Actually, the best bet probably is to give it to my secretary and ask her to type it all out  ;D

When I posted the initial comment and titled one paragraph "problem" I was unclear. The problem for me was going to be the inability to install the software on another machine, and that one was nicely solved for me by lanux128.

Thanks again for your idea  :Thmbsup:

Well, don't I feel dumb? Of course, I'm used to that by now.
Whenever I tried any of the X2Net web addresses that I have they 404'd.

Some credits heading your way. Thank you very much indeed for that!

And I owe the X2Net crew an apology…

What are you two? Some sort of double act?  ;D
-timns (January 29, 2011, 03:52 PM)

If so, I'll confess to being the Dum one.

Now, will you tell me again why [space] doesn't trigger any autocompletions?


And just as a reminder, 'aus' shows 'Auspex' in the pop-up but still completes as 'auspex' (I know why).

Clicking 'Active' in the tray icon unchecks the option but Auspex remains active.

The current situation
I have a clipboard manager that is a long-time favourite of mine.
For the past 15+ years I paid for upgrades to multiple licenses as it changed and improved.
It still works just fine.

The Problem
There is a lot of data filed away in that thing and it's difficult tedious to retrieve.
Without warning, the developer disappeared some time during the past year or two.
Activation over the web is the only way to make a new installation of this software work.
So, the next time I upgrade to a new machine…  guess what?


There's rather too much of this online activation stuff these days for me to feel comfortable.

It's one thing for a giant like Adobe to do this, there's a good chance that they'll be around in future in some form or other. It's quite a different proposition when a small company adopts the practice.

[edit to clarify "difficult"]

A totally not-needed but cute option would be to be able to configure TenTimers and tell it how many of the 10 rows to show.  so that we could use it as 5 timers, etc.

I also tried to put back the selective quoting feature on the forum where you can select some text and then hit the quote button to quote only that text; still seems a bit flakey but hopefully that's just old js in the cache which will work itself out.

You go right ahead and make as many as you wand, just be careful not to make a source error.


Do you happen to have any of those apps set up in the Application List under Options?

I set 4NT, tcmd and agent to 'allow' when you mentioned that you wanted feedback about how .89 worked.
I'll see what happens with what you posted since .89

That's not quite so.

aus[space] gets me Auspex (in text editors and Agent and who knows what else…) while it gets me auspex in JPSoftware's Take Command.

General Software Discussion / Re: Simple Photo Resizer - Please Give Feedback
« Last post by cranioscopical on January 24, 2011, 02:38 PM »
My wife came to me and wanted to resize a photo. Well, we've been through this before... She's got software to do it, but it's not easy enough. I showed her again, but she doesn't like IrfanView because it's simply too complicated. So...

The all new Renegade Photo Resizer!
 (see attachment in previous post)
Is it easy enough to use? I'm looking to make it stupidly simple. So simple that a politician could use it~!

I had options and stuff in there... but I figured that it was just crap that isn't needed. Who cares about JPG ratios? 80% is good enough. Exact sizes? BAH! Slider. Close enough. How many people actually know that you must have your photo dimensions as multiples of 16 in order to minimize quality loss? Not many... I take care of the little stuff and leave only the MAJOR decisions to the user.

It requires .NET v4 though. There's no installer. Just the EXE.

(It's not final quality yet -- a few tiny things to tweak.)

-Renegade (January 23, 2011, 10:21 PM)

Looks just the job for people who need a 'click-do-this' approach with trusted software.

A super-simple CD/DVD burner might be nice to go with this (more simple than those currently available). I can get people in 'don't understand' boat to use  a CD whereas they're often phased by the idea of external storage.

in a quick first pass, Auspex seems generally well behaved in Forté Agent, and Take Command, and 4NT, and Roboform.

used wizard to create aus -> Auspex; wizard worked nicely for that
in Forté Agent "aus" works as Auspex unless it's fired by anything other than a space, otherwise "auspex"
in JP Software 4NT "aus" works as Auspex unless it's fired by anything other than a space, otherwise "auspex"
in JP Software Take Command "aus" produces auspex (no capitalization) no matter what

minimizing is better on my system (XP SP3)
Auspex now minimizes only to the tray when set to do so
the only way to display the window from the tray is to right-click the "tray icon/show" item; left-clicking does nothing (should it?)

problem with Roboform fixed

pop-up still in the wrong place for stuff like console windows or, say, Adobe Illustrator which has a gazillion text entry points (good luck with that one!)

I guess we're approaching the borders of Kansas, Dorothy.
