Finished Programs / Re: IDEA: DropZone auto-hide, auto-show while dragging?

« Last post by skwire on February 22, 2013, 11:14 AM »

Hi, Elancore, and welcome to the DonationCoder site.   

I found DropZone a really useful tool, but I didn't like that it shows on screen all time. How about adding auto-hide to it? and then DropZone window will auto-show when we start dragging selected files, and it will auto-hide again when we drop the files. Do you guys think its possible?

-Elancore (February 12, 2013, 04:38 PM)

Unfortunately, I don't know how to capture a general drag event like that (or if it's even possible).

Hi, Paul, and welcome to the DonationCoder site.   

It's been a couple of years since I've looked at that code.  =]  From what I recall, TextTargets was designed to work with a list of text where one line in the text file equalled one item (be it a single word, sentence, whatever...).  The app doesn't really have any concept of a paragraph or sentences within a paragraph.  Does that make sense?  Have I misunderstood your request?

General Software Discussion / Re: Directory Opus 10

« Last post by skwire on February 14, 2013, 02:05 PM »

@clean: The fact remains that GPSoftware can charge whatever they feel the market will bear.  I'm sure there are plenty of Directory Opus users that will say that it's worth several times over what they paid for it.  Personally, I'm not a fan of per-machine licenses and I feel it's a bit over-priced but it's not my place to complain about such things.  They wrote it, they can charge whatever they like for it.  :shrug:

I've been an Altap Salamander user for years and years now.  I know it has its quirks but, since I've used it for so long, it's the file manager that I'm most efficient in.  For the record, I know of an older file manager that has three panes.  It's not the prettiest, and you may have already tried it out, but it's called Control3 and you can find it here: http://www.theabsolute.net/sware/control3.html

« Last post by skwire on February 14, 2013, 01:30 PM »

Hi, quinting, and welcome to the DonationCoder site.  AFAIK, under NTFS, you must have delete rights to rename a file/folder.  May I assume that you have limited these rights on network shares and not a user's local machine?  If so, I can think of a couple of possible workarounds:

1) Use the mkdir command in a CLI window to create the folder on the network share.  However, if you have a lot of non-savvy users, this might not be a viable option.

2) Have the user create the desired folder on their desktop (or some other local location) and then copy (not move) that folder to the network share.  After that, they can delete their local copy.

Of course, if you have limited the rights on the local machines, disregard my post.

Thank you! Works perfectly, 4wd! Exactly what I needed.

-FrothyAss (February 11, 2013, 09:35 PM)

Nicely done, 4wd.   

For those with a problem with it (none yet, I am aware), put the unzipped files into a folder altogether, move the folder to desired location, and make a shortcut of the executable (MERDE.exe). Move the shortcut to SendTo folder, link below for how to get there.

-FrothyAss (February 11, 2013, 09:35 PM)

Since you're already using Windows Explorer, you can simply use the find/search functionality to do what you want.  Press F3, enter *.* and do a quick search.  Then, just highlight all the found files and drag them into your top-level folder.

Ctrl+R is turning out to be a very natural shortcut to refresh.

-Scott_Y (February 11, 2013, 04:43 PM)

Right on.  

One helpful feature of the Percentage column is that it dynamically updates when the values for Number or Total are changed. Very, very nice.

-Scott_Y (February 11, 2013, 04:43 PM)

I sorta, kinda, maybe had a feeling that, if I didn't write it that way, you'd probably request that it do so.     LOL.

v1.0.7 is wonderful! Very easy and smooth for keyboard control. Thanks, skwire!

-Scott_Y (February 08, 2013, 12:31 PM)

You're welcome.  Happy to accommodate.   

The Duplicate Meter function is very useful. For example, I use a customized off-white background for all meters; with Duplicate I don't need to configure that color for every new meter.

-Scott_Y (February 08, 2013, 12:31 PM)

That's exactly why I added that feature for you.   

F5 works well for Show/Refresh. I'll embarass myself by revising my own suggestion to something like Ctrl+R instead, to fit with the other shortcuts Ctrl+N, Ctrl+S, and Ctrl+D (for example, one could save and refresh with the sequence Ctrl+S, Ctrl+R).

-Scott_Y (February 08, 2013, 12:31 PM)

Added in the latest version.  I left the F5 hotkey in place as well.

Before running this version, make a backup of your meters.xml file in case the new Percentage column blows things up.

    + Added Percentage column.  (Thanks, Scott_Y)
    * Moved the "Show/refresh meter bars" button to the toolbar, Edit menu, and F5 hotkey.  (Thanks, Scott_Y)
