N.A.N.Y. 2011 / Re: NANY 2011 Release: Color Warlock

« Last post by hamradio on August 25, 2017, 11:52 AM »

Well, .NET 4.0 is the last one supported on Windows XP, so for the ~3 users still on that platform it would be ideal...
-Ath (August 25, 2017, 12:59 AM)

That is why I will probably just use .NET 4.0 for the updated version.

Haven't tried Color Warlock on *nix (and haven't scanned this thread if someone already did that), but it could possibly run there using Mono, so you may want to keep the current release available for 'backward compatibility', as not all .NET 4.0 features are ported to Mono (yet).
-Ath (August 25, 2017, 12:59 AM)

The current release as it is will probably get renamed with net20 appended to it when I release the update to Color Warlock.

Thank you for being open to suggestions.
-ScreenManiac (August 24, 2017, 10:50 AM)

Just happy to hear from someone using it that is willing to provide some suggestions as well.

BTW...I was thinking at least .NET 4.0 for the .net version. Thoughts?

« Last post by hamradio on August 23, 2017, 10:36 PM »

Yes, that would suffice. To make it obvious, the Charts menu might sport an entry "Edit current chart" and if necessary "Refresh current chart" - unless it auto-refreshes whenever new colors added in the builder.
-ScreenManiac (August 23, 2017, 02:00 AM)

It will have a new option in File menu of main window to quick edit chart was my thinking. It reload's the chart each time the chart builder is closed.

The Chart Builder itself needs to take over the "Always on top" setting. It's tedious to always bring it back to front while picking dozens of colors from a picture or website.
-ScreenManiac (August 23, 2017, 02:00 AM)

I will make it hide and remove the on top if it is set on the main window when going into chart builder from both chart builder menu items and reapply the appropriate on top setting along with making the main window visible again when you close the chart builder. That should make it easier to control I would think.

I were useful to have 255, 255, 255 as an (additional?) option for the Copy Click Actions.
-ScreenManiac (August 23, 2017, 02:00 AM)

Will add that option to each of the click action types as well.

Would it make sense to offer ALL click actions directly with the right-click? Personally, I find it hard to remember 3 different button codes. For me it were easier to have my favorite on left, and the rest on right-click. Much faster than waiting for the nested flyouts under Options whenever I need a different code than my usual.
-ScreenManiac (August 23, 2017, 02:00 AM)

Will add a format chooser context menu to the right click action type menu as well.

I was wondering, however, if Warlock could do the auto-typing all by itself. Not meaning to be greedy, just putting it up in the air. You'd be the first color picker/archiver I know of that integrates this function.
-ScreenManiac (August 23, 2017, 02:00 AM)

That might be an idea I will have to investigate more on how to do for a further down the road version.

Okay...I have another question for anyone that uses the program and might see this post...

What are your feelings on if I went about working on upgrading the program to use a newer .NET version than 2.0 as it is currently?

More Info: One benefit would be security fixes in the later version's of .NET and would also allow for additional .NET code that I cannot use currently due to the version.

Your input will be greatly appreciated on the .NET question.

Awesome. Take your time. No Rush.
Thanks for keeping this project alive.
-ScreenManiac (August 22, 2017, 07:55 AM)

Question's though for when I do get time...

1. Would automatically loading the current displayed chart into the chart builder work for the quick way to edit the current chart if the file is found, so that it would skip the step of having to manually load it and still have all the features the user might want to make your edits with? It would still allow for the user to select File and New from the menu in chart builder for new charts if desired, but it would load the current one by default if found.

and

2. What format would the values you want to be pasted into be in for RGB? Like 255, 255, 255 or other? If so I could probably do a paste button to convert it to the correct format for the chart builder.

205

N.A.N.Y. 2011 / Re: NANY 2011 Release: Color Warlock

« Last post by hamradio on August 21, 2017, 09:13 PM »

Great tool.
Is there a quick way to edit the currently active palette?
Other than having to open it all over again from the ChartBuilder?

I auto-paste RGB values into standard color dialogs with this tool here:
http://rolandtoth.hu/PasteColor/

Maybe Warlock could even perform this auto-typing all by itself?
The way it works = you put the cursor into the RED-field of a standard color diaolg, then trigger the auto-type and it will
1) overwrite the value for the RED-field
2) Tab to Green and replace the GREEN-field
3) Tab to Blue and replace that value

Thank you for this awesome color archiver.

-brotherS (May 30, 2017, 12:17 PM)

I don't see that you've uninstalled and reinstalled the application? Or tried it in a different directory?
-wraith808 (May 30, 2017, 04:34 PM)

I haven't. Since win32pad doesn't have an option to export its settings and since I don't want to lose them, that's kind of a 'last resort' thing to do. And the problem coming and going without my input seems to point in some other direction, no?

@MilesAhead: I don't have a multi-monitor setup.

-brotherS (May 30, 2017, 04:56 PM)

It doesn't store anything in the registry (unless you using setup.exe and select some choices for integration with IE or with Windows Explorer).

The "other place" is according to Windows spec which is your profile directory.

Look in c:\documents and settings\<userid>\Application Data\Gena01\Win32Pad\win32pad.ini

Thank you,

Gena01
-Gena01 @ http://www.gena01.com/forum/win32pad/win32pad-ini-file/msg1486/#msg1486

That said...

1) Either you enabled it accidentally from the view menu.
or
2) It sound's like it's not saving the always on top setting right each time from the view menu as far as I can tell was implemented from the version history.

Along with the read me claims it stores ini in app folder, but note that I found the settings in the app data folder as was said from the quoted post I copied from the support form for it linked to above.

Hope that helps.

N.A.N.Y. 2014 / Re: N.A.N.Y. 2014 Release: Text Inspection & Manipulation Utility

« Last post by hamradio on May 11, 2017, 06:48 PM »

Hi there .o/

I found some sort of "bug", which is actually something I've seen in several applications so far.

Here are the steps to reproduce:
- have the program's window opened, but not maximized
- reduce it to the task bar
- close the program by right-clicking its button in the taskbar and selecting "Close this window"

When you run the program again, its window doesn't show, even if you click the button on the taskbar (which would normally restore the window).

From what another developer told me a while back, that is related to how Windows treats window reduction: it just moves the window to coordinates "far, far away" outside of the desktop's resolution. Thus when you close the program, it saves those coordinates... and when it runs again, its window is always at a position outside of the desktop.

You still can make it visible again by maximizing the window (using the system menu which you can bring up with Alt + spacebar), but it's kinda not cool having to do so.
You could also edit the coordinates in the user.config file somewhere under "%localappdata%\TextManipulationUtility" to have it back into the visible area of the desktop… but it would be much better if the program checked whether or not the coordinates specified in there are visible or not according to the current desktop's resolution, and if not, reset the window's position.
-ConstanceJill (May 11, 2017, 10:52 AM)

Not the author but in .net (CSharp) anyway developers can check for minimized programs and account for that...Here is an example if it will help anyone. As noted not complete code, but might get coders a start with it.

Example Save Settings (Not Complete Code) CSharp

Code: C# [Select]

if (this.WindowState == FormWindowState.Maximized || this.WindowState == FormWindowState.Minimized)
{
    SaveSettingsData.ClosedState.Left = this.RestoreBounds.Left;
    SaveSettingsData.ClosedState.Top = this.RestoreBounds.Top;
    SaveSettingsData.ClosedState.Width = this.RestoreBounds.Width;
    SaveSettingsData.ClosedState.Height = this.RestoreBounds.Height;
 
    if (this.WindowState == FormWindowState.Minimized)
    {
        SaveSettingsData.ClosedState.wasMaximized = false;
    }
    else
    {
        SaveSettingsData.ClosedState.wasMaximized = true;
    }
}
else
{
    SaveSettingsData.ClosedState.Left = this.Left;
    SaveSettingsData.ClosedState.Top = this.Top;
    SaveSettingsData.ClosedState.Width = this.Width;
    SaveSettingsData.ClosedState.Height = this.Height;
    SaveSettingsData.ClosedState.wasMaximized = false;
}

Example Load Settings (Not Complete Code) CSharp

Code: C# [Select]

this.Left = LoadSettingsData.ClosedState.Left;
this.Top = LoadSettingsData.ClosedState.Top;
this.Width = LoadSettingsData.ClosedState.Width;
this.Height = LoadSettingsData.ClosedState.Height;
 
if (LoadSettingsData.ClosedState.wasMaximized == true)
{
    this.WindowState = FormWindowState.Maximized;
}
else if (LoadSettingsData.ClosedState.wasMaximized == false)
{
    this.WindowState = FormWindowState.Normal;
}

Note: It will even restore back down correctly after an application restart if it was maximized too with my example I believe.

LaunchBar Commander / TIP: LaunchBar Commander + Portable Extension Warlock

« Last post by hamradio on May 09, 2017, 10:54 AM »

Did you know you can add the "Portable Extension Warlock - Launcher (PEW_Launch.exe by default) as an icon when it is displayed as a toolbar (not a menu) and have it function has a drop zone for files without needing to use my PEW_DropZone.exe?

Sample of the LaunchBar Commander setup tab

Portable Extension Warlock can be found here.

Before/After adding the launcher remember to configure it with the PortableExtensionWarlock.exe configuration editor to point to your portable programs. Then you can drag and drop to the icon in LaunchBar Commander for portable file extensions skipping the one's used by the system if the extension is found in my program.

Disclaimer: I am the author of Portable Extension Warlock which was did as part of NANY 2012 and can also be found here.

Are you just wanting it to open file extensions through the send to menu or executable files?

If file extensions (other than executable files) you could try my program that I made called Portable Extension Warlock at: https://www.donation...ndex.php?topic=27928

After you set it up you can setup a send to menu shortcut to the launcher that will launch the extension in the program you specify and if more than one program can handle that extension it can popup a dialog asking which program you would like to open it with. No dll in right click menu just a shortcut that will pass the filename to the launcher after you setup your extensions.

For years I have been accustomed to what (for me) seems to be an ergonomic no-brainer - being able to paste from the Clipboard directly into a folder, and a file is automatically created to hold the contents, either as a .txt (text) file and extension or as a .png (image) file and extension - depending on the contents of the Clipboard being pasted at the time.
I only very occasionally have need to use this functionality.

Maybe you can help me with one other thing? I decided to install only for myself rather than USB. No matter what I do I cannot get more than 5 dials across in Speed Dial. I even tried the Download Chrome Extensions extension to put in Fast Dial as I have that in both FF and SlimJet chrome. It doesn't work(meaning the chrome extensions hang on install.) I bump the max columns to 11, whatever in the Speed Dial that comes as default. Five dial columns is it. Pretty strange.
