N.A.N.Y. 2011 / Re: NANY 2011 Teaser: Auspex - a Windows Productivity App

« Last post by cranioscopical on October 18, 2010, 04:58 PM »

@timns

Just had a few more minutes to play with .42

I just deleted everything from \Local Settings\Application Data\Auspex
Launched Auspex, all is blank (as expected)
Created no folders at all in the right-hand pane
Entered "Paddle To The Sea" as an auto-complete. Typed "Pad" and got the correct suggestion.
Entered "Martin Smith" as an auto-complete.
Hit the refresh button.
Martin Smith simply vanished from the right pane as I watched; Paddle To The Sea is unaffected.
Entered "Martin Smith" as an auto-complete once again.
Closed Auspex
Started Auspex
Paddle To The Sea has vanished
Martin Smith is in and works
Entered "Paddle To The Sea" again  leaving the Mnemonic field with the numeric id
Paddle To The Sea doesn't fire
Removed the numeric identifier
Type "Pad" and am offered Martin Smith
Closed/restarted Auspex
Both items are in the right pane:
 Typing "Pad" pops up Paddle To The Sea
 Typing "Mar" pops up Martin Smith  ; Martin Smith ; Martin (one on each of 3 lines, with "Martin" selected)

@cranio: I think there's still a bug whereby you can lose Replacements if you drag them around into sub-folders after a change (or something like that) - could that possibly fit with what you were doing when you lost a couple of items?

-timns (October 13, 2010, 09:27 PM)

@timns

Replacement text always positions the cursor at the beginning of the replaced text

Hangover from me changing what the 'cursor pos' value represents. Please visit your replacements and change the Cursor Pos field from 0 to -1

When Auspex 1.00.37 first came up, all its values for these were set to -1.
After I saw the cursor positioning thing, I tried changing the value to 0 and, later, back to -1.
(I went through a restart of Auspex after each change.)
Now after rebooting my machine it works as it should :-[

Sometimes, clicking on a 'replacement' item that I've modified fails to open the "Replacement" text window.
Sometimes, Auspex won't let me create a new item

Well it's a capricious little bugger isn't it? I'd love to get a set of steps to reproduce these!

I too, I've tried.
Now, with the cursor positioning working properly for me, I find that two of my replacement items are simply gone and a third has the right mnemonic but the replacement text for one of the missing items.
Sure seems as if something is corrupting a data file. Reading this you've probably decided that the fault lies between my chair and the computer — I certainly would. I'm not making up this stuff, though.

if there were a mechanism for Auspex to refresh itself once changes are made

There's a new, tiny button in the top toolbar that does that very thing.

Oh dear, how long has that been in?
The fault does lie between my chair and the computer

#$##!! Yes it probably does. KEdit is a bit of a rotter to deal with... I'm getting there though.

Much appreciated!!

Thank you very much for all your comments Senor Cranio

@timns

1.00.37
Quite a few issues here.

• Can't enter master pwd to Roboform with Auspex running (tried all 3 exception settings)
• Replacement text always positions the cursor at the beginning of the replaced text
• Sometimes, clicking on a 'replacement' item that I've modified fails to open the "Replacement" text window
• Sometimes, Auspex won't let me create a new item

Tried all settings with above.
One thing that would help a bit with testing is if there were a mechanism for Auspex to refresh itself once changes are made, rather than stop-starting.

When I could create a new item, that didn't help with any of my issues here.

Compatibility mode with Kedit works with replacements, except for the cursor repositioning already mentioned. (I appreciate the efforts you're making here!)
Auto-completion writes the (tab) trigger into the file.

Should I erase Auspex completely and reinstall 1.00.37, or will that not help?

Have a nice day

Find And Run Robot / Re: Letters Instead of Numbers Please!

« Last post by cranioscopical on October 13, 2010, 11:36 AM »

the other problem is that you'd have to hit alt+letter since just hitting letter will add a search item to the search string.  and then that rules out using alt+any letter for other stuff which it is used for now, like bringing up options, right-click menu, etc.

-mouser

   Please don't do that, or at least give an option to disable it.

« Last post by cranioscopical on October 11, 2010, 07:09 AM »

does that mean it should be eligible as a NANY entry?  From this subject, I would say the consensus is NO.  Please charge.  Please tell us about it, and even make a thread just for that software offering. 

-steeladept (October 11, 2010, 05:45 AM)

Well said! We may be verging on splitting hairs but this isn't about the worth of any particular piece of software. It's about whether shareware comes under the umbrella of NANY.
