General Software Discussion / Re: Who is still runnig XP?
« Last post by skwire on January 25, 2013, 03:22 PM »
Before I built my new computer a few weeks ago, I had been running the same install of XP/32 on my old desktop since April of 2007.  I am now running W7/64 but, since I use an alternate shell and turn off window themes, it looks just like my old desktop.   :P

The other solution I can think of would be a zip/compression program that had thumbnail viewing of images.  You could then view the images in the cb? file directly within the compression app and delete as you see fit.  Anybody familiar with a zip/compression app that has internal image thumbnail viewing?

What do you think of a dynamic update of the meter display (if already shown) when the configuration is changed
-Scott_Y (January 18, 2013, 03:12 PM)

The only obstacle is my own apathy.   :P  It would take some fairly significant code refactoring (as compared to the current code) but it's nothing hard or anything like that.  I'll try to find the time to do it.

I dont mean physical deletion of the actual files, I mean from the file listing in SFV Ninja.

Ah, if that's what you mean, simply press the Delete key after highlighting the rows you want to remove.

Hi, omeletted, and welcome to the DonationCoder site.

Minor feature requests:
  • ability to delete from the file list
  • check/uncheck selected items from the right-click context menu. Alternatively press spacebar
-omeletted (January 21, 2013, 07:20 AM)

Would deleting to the recycle bin be acceptable?

General Software Discussion / Re: paste an image below another image in MS Paint of Win7?
« Last post by skwire on January 17, 2013, 08:19 AM »
Well spotted Skwire, I had presumed the second example...
-tomos (January 17, 2013, 08:11 AM)

I did, too, at first but I thought I'd better clarify.  FWIW, kalos, MS Paint has no concept of layers so you cannot do like the second example I gave.  If you want to do that, you're going to have to use a more advanced image editor like Paint.net, vlastimil's RealWorld Paint, etc.


um, you are right, I should 've made it more clear

the alignment (the space between the two photos should be zero) should be done automatically
also, it is not that easy, when the photos are alot of bigger than the canvas, which is the case I refer to (you have to play with zooming I suppose, but not sure)
-kalos (January 17, 2013, 08:15 AM)

No, there is no way to do that automatically in MS Paint.

Here's a quickie screencast video (using mouser's Easy Screencast Recorder):

Of course, you can simply use Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V, instead of the copy/paste toolbar buttons, to copy/paste the images.

Everything works great in 1.0.5 -- beautiful! Easy to use, intuitive, useful  :-*
-Scott_Y (January 15, 2013, 01:24 PM)

Great to hear.  Thanks for the report.

The only significant wish remaining is for the color-picker module to highlight the currently-selected color, and to remember custom colors.
-Scott_Y (January 15, 2013, 01:24 PM)

Highlighting the currently selected colour is fixed in the latest build.  Unfortunately, the library I use does not support the custom colours option.

... and a single-click toggle of the tray icon would be easier.
-Scott_Y (January 15, 2013, 04:22 PM)

Added in this build:

Website | Download
v1.0.6 - 2013-01-16
    + Added option to use single-clicking on tray icon.  (Thanks, Scott_Y)
    ! Currently selected colour should now be highlighted when using the
      colour picker module.   However, custom colours will not be remembered.
    * Changed program icon.

I placed barbecue.exe 1.0.3 in C:\Program Files (x86)\Barbecue\ and it automatically wrote meters.xml in C:\Users\Scott\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files (x86)\Barbecue\
-Scott_Y (January 15, 2013, 10:39 AM)

Very strange as there is no code in Barbecue to write to that folder.  I will assume Windows 7 is doing something behind the scenes that causes this to happen.

I then copied barbecue.exe and meters.xml to a folder on my data partition. It ran correctly, including opening the data file. So that works fine, but contrary to how Win7 expects it to be done.
-Scott_Y (January 15, 2013, 10:39 AM)

Is that solution acceptable to you?  From what I know, Windows 7 expects an application to write its files to a C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Roaming\<AppName> folder.  However, all my programs are coded to write its files to the same folder where you have the EXE file (for easier portability).

Wishes for 1.0.4:
1. Provide a way to remove use of a due date. Currently, once a due date has been entered, there is no way to revert to showing no date, short of editing meters.xml.
2. Clicking on the pencil icon for a meter will go to the Meters tab. Currently, it goes to the last open tab -- including the Options tab.
-Scott_Y (January 15, 2013, 10:48 AM)

Can do.   :)

Thanks, skwire! Beautiful and more intuitive rework of the interface, and very nice additional functionality. Thank you for adding many of my wishes.
-Scott_Y (January 15, 2013, 10:06 AM)

You're welcome.  Sorry it took so long to get it done.

However, there is a problem with Save List: It returns "Error saving list contents" so I suspect it is trying to write the data to C:\Program Files (x86)\Barbecue\ where I had placed the executable.
-Scott_Y (January 15, 2013, 10:06 AM)

Yep, you can thank UAC for that.  These restrictions make it difficult to write true portable software (where an app can't write to its own folder).  Can you run it out of a non-protected folder?  If not, let me know, and I'll come up with something.

Once it gets redirected to a writeable folder, it would be nice if it would use an existing copy of meters.xml.
-Scott_Y (January 15, 2013, 10:06 AM)

The application should use the meters.xml file it finds in its starting folder.  Are you not seeing this behaviour?
