And if SnapDB is a bit too simple/limited (though quite useful in itself), then maybe DataCrow could be of your liking?

Developer's Corner / Re: Licences for free software without code
« Last post by Ath on April 01, 2012, 03:55 PM »
A few simple & quick idea's: (as in 'Protect what you have', a paper license is just simply ignored)
- Put the name, checksummed, in prominent places in the UI, and on/in any output created (if possible).
- Put some kind of licensing scheme in place, like the one by DC member josant, in his NANY2012 entry

-iphigenie (March 31, 2012, 03:22 AM)
Still not working (ends in some 404 page, according to the name in the final link), maybe because I'm not in the US of A?

Got an e-mail today from O&O Software stating I'd be using an outdated version of their software :tellme: But I'm not using, or have used, any O&O software to date, so I'd better share this discount with friends who might need it ;)

Oh, it seems the prices in Euro's are exactly the same numbers with only the currency sign replaced :mad:

Try this link: https://shop.oo-soft...m/36/purl-diskimage6

General Software Discussion / Re: Jasc Paint Shop Pro 9... cm vs. in
« Last post by Ath on March 28, 2012, 09:50 AM »
Opening a .png file using Paint.NET gives me the units which are set (by default) in Paint.NET, and it knows how to convert the resolution stored in the .png. If I change a setting, like Image/Resize, to be pixels/cm instead of the default pixels/inch, the next time it has remembered my choice. I like that behavior.
Most likely because of the age of PSP, compared to the age of .png, it doesn't have all this 'sophistication', yet.

Got any specific requests, Joe?

Few options:
Some of the apps may already exist or at least get close, and others may be possible to re-create with platform specific tooling, but that would require to know what platform you are buying 8)

Just a small ScriptLineCounter status update:
Implemented:
  • Auto-detection of file-format based on content, preference for format with highest matching line count :tellme:
  • Output .xls and .xlsx layout improvements

Working on:
  • GUI bugfixing
  • GUI add missing options/checkboxes
  • GUI settings saved
  • Finally write a proper readme.txt :huh:

Planned for later:
  • Pdf reading
  • Output pagination support (automatic headers/footers)

Buy a Systembuilder Windows license, together/bundled with a mainboard, it'll save you around $75 to $90 from a full retail license.

in TO DO list would love to add some more script formats
-Saira (March 23, 2012, 12:00 AM)
It's on the list*, just didn't write it in the post  ;)

is thr any possibility to import pdf also ?
-Saira (March 23, 2012, 12:00 AM)
Hm, that may depend on the pdf thrown at it. Some don't allow text to be copied/taken from them, depending on settings used during creation. I'll investigate that soon.

... wanted to keep the post alive .
-Saira (March 23, 2012, 12:00 AM)
No issue, just a few days of lower activity here because of other obligations :tellme:

Updated ScriptLineCounter to version 1.3.0.0

2 possible solutions:
- Create an image right after you've done all updates and settings, and restore that next time you need a refresh
- Use the Microsoft supplied install automation tooling (WAIK is the keyword I guess) if you need to run it on different hardware
