Find And Run Robot / Re: Include Windows 7 Start Button Search Results in FARR?
« Last post by Ath on April 22, 2012, 03:58 AM »
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?

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 8)

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

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?

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 :D

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

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

A new screenshot would be appropriate, as it has been changed quite a bit since the previous one was taken

The Console section is marked to emphasize that it's disabled when running the .exe, as that has no Console capabilities.

Screenshot Captor / Re: windows media centre
« Last post by Ath on April 06, 2012, 01:14 PM »
When windows media centre is in full screen mode the screen shots are all black.I'm using v2.82.01.

Is there a way to take full screen screenshots in windows media centre in windows 7 64bit?

At the moment I can take screenshots of windows media centre by having it in a large window only.
-jmf123aci (April 06, 2012, 12:51 PM)
Euhm, and if you installed the latest 3.0 version from this thread? 2.82 is really, really old :o
And 3.0 has a DirectX capture mode, that might come in handy in your situation as well, though I've never worked with the Windows Media Center, so I can't know for sure.

General Software Discussion / Re: reserved characters in NTFS
« Last post by Ath on April 06, 2012, 06:43 AM »
I think it's rather silly to try to change the NTFS driver/behavior to support special characters that are actually reserved/designated for separating and selecting drives, directories and files. That's not a plausible route to go.

So, if you can't solve it directly, add an extra indirection, meaning, store the information in some (searchable) fileformat, like one of several available note-storage programs, designed for tasks like these :up:

Another idea:
  • Use my Excel2Html utility to process the Excel file into a text file with urls (the template doesn't have to be html for E2H to work 8))
  • Feed the textfile to a batch-downloader for downloading the files automagically
