General Software Discussion / Re: Looking for program that can copy folder hierarchy with checkboxes and size est.

« Last post by kunkel321 on March 09, 2015, 09:57 AM »

I don't know...  Seems more logical that if you checkmark a folder, then the contents should get checked....  YOu could then (optionally) uncheck some.

The newer Excel Web App has some very basic functionality...  It let's people fill out a form, then the data comes back to you and is saved in a spreadsheet.

The source (shown in the previous picture) is actually the results of a search.  The actual files are being copied from different folders, which is why it gave me the "Rich Copy?" dialog...    It does appear that you can 'find' by size too.
 


As mentioned before, all if this could be probably be scripted into a single command...  There are script wizards on the forum.  I'll post your OP there and then link this and that...

XYplorer also has some folder structure copying abilities.  It also lets your do size reports, though I don't know if these functions can be integrated.  (I'm sure this could be scripted though).  Also not use if free XY can do it or if you need pro.

Clipboard Help+Spell / Re: Feature request: automatic OCR of captured images.

I've used ABBYY lots of times.   It's decent.  I finally got myself a copy of Acrobat XI  which has built in OCR.  Otherwise I'd still be using the ABBYY one.  fyi the ABBYY people have a product called PDF Transformer.  Every once in a while it appears as a freebie on the internets.  Has the same engines as the screenshot reader, I'm sure.

Clipboard Help+Spell / Re: Request: Accommodate rectangular selection like Word?

« Last post by kunkel321 on December 17, 2014, 09:58 AM »

Good to know.  My thot was to assign it as a "quick formatting" option in CHS.   PsPad works too though.  Thanks for the reply.

Clipboard Help+Spell / Request: Accommodate rectangular selection like Word?

« Last post by kunkel321 on December 02, 2014, 03:51 PM »

Hi Mouser,
I hope all is well with you.  I haven't had a chance to tinker with advanced CHS stuff in a while.  (Though CHS and SSC both get used A LOT on my work puter).

Anyhow, Am tinkering now...  I'm not sure if this is even feasible, but I'd love if, from the "Modify Case/Tools" and/or the Main Window text edit area, I could select a rectangular portion of text (i.e. the same columns across multiple congruent rows...)

Here's a screenshot from Word...  It you hold down <Alt> and click-n-drag with the mouse, you get the following:


My overall goal is to get from "before" to "after" as in the image below:


If I copy the column of numbers, CHS will "Prefix" and "Suffix" the parts perfectly, but unfortunately MS Word won't let you paste into a rectangular selection...  If CHS were to handle this, I could copy the whole table from Word, do my thing, then paste it back in...   

Thots?

Hell yes, +1.  The only reason I keep SnagIt installed is for the "Text Grab" feature in v10. 
If CHS had OCR capabilities, it would blow that out of the water!

General Software Discussion / Re: Looking for a EXTREMELY basic Multi Clipboard software

« Last post by kunkel321 on October 06, 2014, 03:53 PM »

While this probably is good programming, it has tons of features and settings that I don't need, and OTOH it is not able to simply show a no frills popup next to its own tray icon, but instead puts its window all over the place on my triple monitors 

-David.P (October 06, 2014, 03:06 PM)

I'm never really sure why, but I find sometimes certain clipboard managers give me problems, such as freezing, etc.  I have lots of 3rd party utilities running in the background, so I assume there's sometimes a conflict.  ArsClip was one of these.  Ditto too.  I'm not a programmer, but I'm guessing that lots of features = increased possibility of conflicting with other things.  The "simplest" yet stable ones I've seen are ClipX and CLCL.  I use the "stacking" feature of CHS though, and despite it's many features, it hasn't given me too many troubles..   Now if I can just get Mouser to trim down the quick popup list.

Though long abandoned, ClipX is a good light one.

Edit:  FWIW, Mouser's CHS actually IS the one I've been using for a couple of years now.  I would not be using it if I felt it was bloated.

General Software Discussion / Re: Excel thingy... Tip for using OFFSET() function to restrict a droplist.

« Last post by kunkel321 on September 22, 2014, 01:23 PM »

Yea, I also make use of Tables...
I have a dashboard type of thing though that pulls from a Table, and also allows independent lookups of individual people...

There's about 1200 people in my list, so I was getting tired of scrolling the whole list.

I don't think it's possible to use Regex in formulas (only in VBA).  You can use wildcards * ? in some though.

General Software Discussion / Re: Looking for desktop calendar software that can sync with Google Calendar

« Last post by kunkel321 on September 13, 2014, 03:39 PM »

gSyncit does look pretty cool.

Another option worth mentioning is Pimlical.
http://www.pimlicosoftware.com/
It's a Java based app. Very capable.
There's an Android version too, though--frustratingly--it don't sync well with the Kindle Fire HD.

It has a feature-rich sync ability for Google Calendar. 
And the proceeds go to a Gorilla Conservation effort.

Non-Windows Software / Re: Android: (Wired) File Transfers from PC

« Last post by kunkel321 on June 17, 2014, 10:20 AM »

@CyberDiva:  Thanks for the WebDav tip.  I actually do remember reading about that in the Pimlical FAQs.  The office location I've had for the last two years doesn't have wifi  so WebDav was not an option.  Looks like I'm getting moved to a more "modern" space, with wifi, though.  So in the Fall I might revisit WebDav.

Also I should add to my previous post--in case any Kindle Fire HD users read this--I actually rooted my device once.  Rooting voids the one-year warranty, so it is not advised.  I had assumed that this would allow Java to detect the KFHD, so I did it anyway, but it does NOT!  Rooting a Kindle makes no difference in this regard.  However rooting does give you access to the Google Play store which is pretty cool.  I was rooted for four or five months, then Amazon updated the Kindle OS, and the root got wiped.  I haven't gotten around to re-rooting.

Non-Windows Software / Re: Android: (Wired) File Transfers from PC

« Last post by kunkel321 on June 12, 2014, 01:13 PM »

I've been using DocsToGo (DataViz) with my Kindle Fire HD.  Works fine. 
The KFHD does have some MAJOR annoyances regarding file transfer.  My fave calendar app is Pimlical.  There is a Java PC version, and an Android version.  The Android version does work on the Kindle, but apparently the Kindle is totally invisible to Java (and many other Windows apps) so I cannot use the sync utility...

Also checkout a free Excel addin called ASAP-Utilities.  It lets you transpose like that.  

EDIT:  Yea, I guess ASAP won't do that.
