Post New Requests Here / Re: DONE: kill specified programs "harshly/silently" at shutdown
« Last post by jgpaiva on January 02, 2008, 12:56 PM »
id rather swap the message box for a timer without a message box.
-mouser (January 02, 2008, 12:50 PM)
Ok, shouldn't be hard to add.

oh and just to make sure -- this program should not trigger the killing if it's just me manually exiting it.  it should only trigger at system shutdown.
-mouser (January 02, 2008, 12:50 PM)
Yep, it already works like that :)

Fantastic  :-* :-* :-* :-*
I'll test and report.
The only thing i'd love to request extra is to be able to set a delay before it starts killing the processes.  So i can set it to wait for 5 seconds or so before doing the terminations.. just to give these programs a chance to gracefully shut themselves down.
-mouser (January 02, 2008, 12:33 PM)

That's quite simple. Right now it pops a message box before it starts the killing. as long as you don't press "ok", it won't kill anything :)

From what i recall, http://www.indievolume.com/ can do this per-application volume setting, but it doesn't have the autolevel feature since that's something quite hard to add...

« Last post by jgpaiva on January 02, 2008, 11:51 AM »
Well.. Since no one found the solution for this, here it is:
As of version 1.0, it just kills all the programs on the list, without trying to close them before.
Run once to create the sample ini, then modify it and run again.

KillProcesses v1.0 created 02-01-08:
kill a list of processes when the computer shuts down

Find And Run Robot / Re: bug in regex processing? or bug in my regex?
« Last post by jgpaiva on January 02, 2008, 10:42 AM »
I can see your problem, mysteryman! (oh, and thanks for teaching me how to use the ?: after parenthesis, i had never understood how that worked).

The problem here is that both the non-matched and the matched groups get numbers, and you'd like to have only the matched groups to be numbered.
I think this requires someone with a higher "regex-fu" (like f0dder called it) than i have, to tell us how this is supposed to work by the regex rules.

BTW: do you know how would other programs do it? (i couldn't find any program that would do a parsing by groups like farr does :()

JGPaiva's GridMove and Ahk Tools / Re: Feature request for GridMove
« Last post by jgpaiva on January 02, 2008, 10:07 AM »
The problem here, is that there's something i wasn't very specific about. The maximize vertically/horizontally grid elements don't really replace that "window height" / "window width" with the height and the width of the window and then move it, those are just placeholders so that gridmove can know that that grid element refers to a maximize verticaly/horizontaly element.

"If, after loading GridMove, I manually resize a window or open a new one isn't GridMove aware of that?"
Nope, gridmove isn't aware of any current state of the windows, it doesn't need to. The active window is moved to the coordinates specified by the grid element selected (which, at the time of moving, are already only numbers, because all the parsing of the variables happens only once when gridmove is started).

JGPaiva's GridMove and Ahk Tools / Re: Feature request for GridMove
« Last post by jgpaiva on January 02, 2008, 06:45 AM »
Ok.. Now i remember the problem. The values of those variables are evaluated at the moment the grid is loaded, because it's way too slow to evaluate them as you move the mouse around the areas. Thus, there can't be any values that depend on the context of the current "drag and drop" :(

Maybe this could be implemented on the "move with keyboard" features, but it might still take too much time.

I'll look into it again the day after tomorrow and i'll see what i can do ;)

Hey tynsar!

Strangelly, i already had this idea, but for some reason i didn't implement it. Not sure if it had any kind of problem or something...
Bur it shouldn't be too hard to implement. I'll do it right away and report back.

I'm wondering: why don't you use something like wink?
I think it looks more adjusted to what you're trying to do than SC..

« Last post by jgpaiva on December 28, 2007, 06:44 PM »
Ok, done.. And updated.
I also fixed another bug that could make the left drag method stop working after being used in a window that was one of the exceptions (like winamp). <- this ****** was bugging me for QUITE a while now.. I'm glad it's gone ;)

You could try basing it on the window's style.
[Select]
WinGet winStyle, Style, A
if (winStyle & 0x40000) { ;0x40000 = WS_SIZEBOX = WS_THICKFRAME
   ;code to resize
}

Find And Run Robot / Re: Little things missing to build "object > action" style command line in FARR
« Last post by jgpaiva on December 28, 2007, 08:35 AM »
I'll just throw a bunch of ideas:

I love both the idea of having shift+enter or alt+q. BUT, shift+enter is already used in winamp for queueing (for exaple) and i think makes more sense.
About de-queing, with alt+q it'd be easier, shift+alt+q could be used.
Another option would be ctrl+tab/ctrl+shift+tab.

Alt + # / ctrl + # would have a big advantage: one would be able to have a "queue and don't clear" action for alt+shift+#/ctrl + shift + #, which would allow us to queue several items with one search.


Now,my conclusions:
Best system:
  • shift + enter to queue and clear textbox,
  • shift + ctrl + enter to queue and don't clear the textbox
  • backspace when the textbox is cleared deletes items from the queue
  • represent the queue as a simple filename + filename + filename ... line above the textbox.

Living Room / Re: Ideas to make DC even better
« Last post by jgpaiva on December 28, 2007, 05:54 AM »
I think #1 is a good idea, and it might even give some of our retired members a hobby in programming or something like that.

As for #2, i don't have a position as strong as cranioscopical, but i think i also stand more on the "ads go against donationcoder's spirit" side of the river.
I find the ads on posts a bit too intrusive, and they'd go against the "donationcoder is a site interly funded by private donations" kind of spirit.

In no way i'm saying you should stop this kind of suggestions, veign, some help in the way of having DC paying mouser's studies is definitelly cool!!

I really can't help you, but i honestly hope someone here will, and we'll see you offering some discount to DC for the brilliant piece of software you 2 make  ;D

Well.. Welcome to the site, i hope you enjoy your stay!!

 ;D zaine!
Emacs is said to be as good as vim, or even better. I don't think you won't be well seved with that one.

The reason i started using vim, is because it is included in every default linux instalation (wereas emacs isn't) and it's a bit lighter (thus faster to open) then emacs.
But emacs is said to include almost a whole OS inside, thus, it should do everything you thow at it ;)

Nope, there's none. But it sure would be great to have one! (specially since the atempt at a gridmaker i made went very wrong)
