Post New Requests Here / Re: IDEA: small plugin-toolbar (or similar) audio player in Windows Explorer
« Last post by skwire on March 13, 2013, 09:53 AM »
I wanted something similar, a small toolbar to control Winamp.  Something that integrates directly into Windows Explorer or the title bar of whatever program I happen to be using...

It's old, but it still seems to work fairly well.  YMMV.

Interesting.. but you could also just do a shell exec to open a url and it will open in default browser, OR simply invokle an explicit browser exe and pass the url to it on commandline.

Sure, but then you run the risk of multiple windows/tabs (something the OP didn't want).

No, it's not like what you think.  In fact, it's rather inelegant.  Here's a commented snippet that should explain things:

Code: Autohotkey [Select]
  1. myURL := "myURLsArray" . _URLnum ; Dereference the variable.
  2. SendInput, ^l                    ; Send a Ctrl+L hotkey to focus the address bar.  Works for FF, IE, and Chrome.
  3. SendInput, % %myURL%             ; Send the actual URL text.
  4. Sleep, 750                       ; Small wait time to allow for long(er) URLs.
  5. SendInput, {ENTER}               ; Send and Enter keystroke to load the page.

Make more sense now?  A hack, pretty much.   :-[

Thanks, Skwire, for the AHK script!

You're welcome.  Is that script good enough for your purposes?  If so, I'll mark this thread as done.

So, basically, you want a bunch of exact duplicate files with differing filenames, whose filenames are sourced from a list that you provide?  If so, this is a piece of cake with a small AutoHotkey script.  Are you familiar with AutoHotkey at all?

Here's a basic AHK example that seems to work in Firefox, IE, and Chrome.  Run it, focus your browser, and use Ctrl+Right and Ctrl+Left to cycle through the list.  Of course, change the URL list to suit.

Code: Autohotkey [Select]
  1. myURLs =
  2. (
  3. http://www.donationcoder.com
  4. http://www.filehippo.com
  5. http://www.arstechnica.com
  6. )
  7.  
  8.  
  9. StringSplit, myURLsArray, myURLs, `n
  10.  
  11.  
  12. ^Right::
  13. {
  14.     myCounter++
  15.     % ( myCounter > myURLsArray0 ) ? ( myCounter := 1 ) : ()
  16.     URL_GoTo( myCounter )
  17. }
  18. Return
  19.  
  20.  
  21. ^Left::
  22. {
  23.     myCounter--
  24.     % ( myCounter < 1 ) ? ( myCounter := myURLsArray0 ) : ()
  25.     URL_GoTo( myCounter )    
  26. }
  27. Return
  28.  
  29.  
  30. URL_GoTo( _URLnum )
  31. {
  32.     myURL := "myURLsArray" . _URLnum
  33.     SendInput, ^l
  34.     Sleep, 300
  35.     SendInput, % %myURL%
  36.     Sleep, 750
  37.     SendInput, {ENTER}
  38. }

Hi, darylbaz, and welcome to the DonationCoder site.

At the risk of sounding like a jerk  :-[, it means what it says; Files2Folder is unable to create the folder it needs to move your selected files into.  Is the folder UAC-protected?  Or, is it a network folder that you don't have permissions to create a folder in?  Does F2F work in other folders for you?

      elsewhere using a file manager.  (Thanks, Paul)
    * Changed "Bits" column name to "Bits/Sample."
    ! Fixed refresh issue when using a dropped folder.

General Software Discussion / Re: Outlook synching
« Last post by skwire on March 07, 2013, 06:46 PM »
The easiest solution is going to be switching those POP account to IMAP.  Even Yahoo offer IMAP access these days.

imap.mail.yahoo.com (use SSL IMAPS on port 993)
smtp.mail.yahoo.com (use SSL SMTPS on port 465)

Trying to synch up POP accounts across multiple computers is an exercise in absolute frustration (as you've found out).

I wonder if these are cases where:

1) User buys a piece of software using Paypal.
2) User receives software key/serial via email.
3) User then claims a fraudulent transaction and demands refund.
4) Paypal refunds user and seller loses that transaction and monies.
5) User now has a legitimate key/serial and is not out any money.

Perhaps?

« Last post by skwire on February 25, 2013, 10:56 AM »
I think what Contro wants is an application that automatically tells him which services are un-necessary and disables them.  I don't think such an app exists because each person/computer has different needs.  Contro, there are many guides on the internet that describe what you want to do.  However, you're going to have to be the one that decides whether or not to turn off a given service.
