Screenshot Captor / Re: Dual Monitor Issues-Screen goes to black

« Last post by Ath on April 24, 2012, 02:53 PM »

Hi, welcome to the site

A few questions:
- You have the latest drivers for both video adapters installed? (check manufacturer's website, Windows update doesn't have 'm all up to date)
- You have the current ScreenShotCaptor downloaded?

What didn't change in size was, the icons in mention!!

Even after a re-logon (as required by this settings-change) or, more radically, a reboot?

I'll integrate this in the error-report utility I made for Saira, AMDER, later today. Should be easy, as the error-report features are already there.

AMDER will be released sometime later this week.

Hm, I think it's a limitation of Windows, not being able to minimize/hide the parent if a modal child-windows is in front of it.

Wouldn't that be achieved by adding the All Users 'C:\Users\All Users\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu' and Current User 'C:\Users\[Ath]\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu' (ofc by using the proper variables, that I didn't investigate) into the Search Folders configuration?

@hulkbuster, did you understand what Stephen66515 wrote there? The 'autocheck' stuff actually belongs there, or did you remove other stray stuff we can't see any more?

if you can convince Java that it shouldn't be using so much of your system memory, and perform garbage collection more frequently

-mouser (April 19, 2012, 11:24 AM)

You actually can. By calling the static method System.gc(); a number of times (3 to 8 seems appropriate), that way you shift so many discarded objects into the 'destroy' bin that the memory is actually released. That can cost you performance for a few hundred milliseconds, but it is often worth the effort.

It also helps to not have circular object-references within discarded objects in your application, but that's ofcourse a matter of carefully crafting your application, and/or null-ing an object or 2 in the right place & time

Memory management in (long-running) Java applications is just as important as memory management in a C/C++ application

Developer's Corner / Re: C# and XML Problem - any help please?

« Last post by Ath on April 14, 2012, 03:53 AM »

This seems helpful: http://stackoverflow...acter-in-xpath-query but it's about single and double quotes mostly.

Guess you're in a deadlock, this XML spec detail seems to say you can't have a colon in an ordinary node name, but it's referring to an, obviously non-declared, namespace.
Escaping special characters is imho limited to the content part of XML, not the structure part.

You should be able to read your data though, by iterating over all the elements 1 level higher in the XML structure, and that would be /item/, right?

The PHP/Apache/MySQL set you need for development work? If not, then I wouldn't install as it would only eat resources and exhaust the battery early.

General Software Discussion / Re: Next big opportunity - ditching the laptop in favor of mobile computing

« Last post by Ath on April 09, 2012, 02:34 AM »

I'm actually waiting for the release of the ASUS Eee Pad Transformer Prime TF700T with 1920x1200 display and a real keyboard, as I got a voucher for an 'e-reader' (details to be selected by myself) from my wife and kids for my birthday

Now just wait (the horror) for the price at release...

[Edit]The name is officially Transformer Pad Infinity, I just found out.
