    + Added an option to display a location's local time in the titlebar.  You
      can also customise the date/time format string using the standard AutoHotkey
      tokens found here: http://www.autohotke...mands/FormatTime.htm
      (Thanks, Alex)

Euhm, what local time is it supposed to display? My local time or the selected location's local time? It seems to display my current local time, independent of the location selected for display on the main screen (I switched locations using the scroll-wheel and from the Locations menu).

Announce Your Software/Service/Product / Re: IntelliDebugger

« Last post by Ath on August 31, 2012, 09:28 AM »

Mikhail,

Welcome to Donationcoder!

That looks like a nice start of a new debugger, is it also applicable to other than C++ code?
We've been pleasantly surprised by the BugAid debugger, a few months ago, and it seams to me you're fishing in the same lake
You have a few features different, compared to BugAid, and I hope your product gets to a similar maturity level as theirs (I have no connections whatsoever with each product, the more the merrier ), maybe it would be possible/proficient to combine the use of both!

Announce Your Software/Service/Product / Re: Copy Contents

« Last post by Ath on August 29, 2012, 01:47 PM »

Very interesting tool, but, as usual I'd say , I have a few feature requests:

• #ask# with several options, resulting in a combobox with the predefined values to choose from (or #select#:item1:item2)
• date and time formatting options
• moar #var# predefined variables, like environment vars, system parameters, etc.
• variable replacement in rtf files
• additional, configurable, file extensions allowing variable replacement

(when more things come up I'll toss in a new post)

Developer's Corner / Re: Adding controls smoothly...

« Last post by Ath on August 28, 2012, 09:33 AM »

Use the databinding features of .NET, it will lazy-load by default (afaik) when loading lots of controls, and it'll fetch & display 'Just In Time', when using controls like comboboxes etc. Using WPF for the UI might help too.

I'm stuck here and don't have the smallest idea how I will continue.

-festi19 (August 27, 2012, 01:10 PM)

We're stuck without any further application details, and, as I said, often the title is set programmatically, so it would need to be reset if changed by some internal cause/reason/event.

A lot of software sets it's Window title dynamically, so one of the solutions suggested by Krishean is probably most effective.

      Hover your mouse above a reading, e.g., the current temperature, and the
      converted value should appear in the status bar.  (Thanks, Ath)

Post New Requests Here / Re: IDEA: Diagnose problems in windows file sharing on LAN

« Last post by Ath on August 14, 2012, 11:41 AM »

Welcome to the site, Jim

I have searched widely for a tool to diagnose why windows file sharing sometimes stops working.

-JimH44 (August 14, 2012, 11:26 AM)

What are you talking about? Ever since I'm using Windows 7 I've never seen this kind of issues. And even with Windows XP it was very rare, and only when XP had been running for weeks on end without a reboot.

• What OS are you on?
• Have you updated all your drivers for hardware? Windows Update does not have lots of network drivers up to date, device manufacturers usually do
• Is your Windows fully up to date with the latest service packs and updates?

Skwire Empire / Re: Release: sWeather (tray-based weather app)

« Last post by Ath on August 14, 2012, 11:34 AM »

I'm very pleased with the way sWeather has developed. Nice

There's only one, maybe rather big, feature I'd like to request: A setting for Fahrenheit or Celcius/Metric per location, so I can easily see, and optionally quote, the 'actual' temperature for locations in the non-metric using parts of the world
A possible alternative for this feature could be a tooltip displaying the 'other' value then the default display-metric, when hovering the mouse over it. A quick calculation from F to C or back would be just fine, polling the Yahoo API twice would be overkill, IMHO.

fSekrit / Re: Symantec False positive...

« Last post by Ath on July 30, 2012, 12:07 PM »

False positives should be reported to the manufacturer of the AV package, Symantec's false positive page in this case. That's the most reliable way to remove this anomaly from their package.
All assuming you have checked your files not to be contaminated, ofcourse, an on-line scanning service like Jotti's is a good way to have your files checked independently if unsure.

If you filter out the soap-box forum from the 'unread' page, shouldn't these messages also be filtered from the 'recent posts' summary at the bottom of the forum home-page?

Adding to my previous note, I now see that the last message posted ("Latest Post") does display the message in the Basement section, even now that these are no longer visible in the "Recent Posts" section. Maybe it should be filtered from there too?
