Living Room / Re: Daily Autohotkey
« Last post by AbteriX on May 05, 2011, 05:50 AM »
Daily Autohotkey? Good idea ( i loved to read DailyVIM too)

-

One script of mine is to translate english to german.
I am german and can't english very well, so i use QuickDic (a little free portable app) to my translation aid.

Usually i do
- select an word
- copy to clipboard
- focus QuickDic
- paste in the word - read - and minimize QuickDic

Now i have  handicrafts an ahk script to help me doing this more easier and quicker.

I don't say that this is done well, just showing an idea:


Code: Autohotkey [Select]
  1. ;  # Win,  ! Alt,  ^ Control,  + Shift, RControl Right Control
  2.  
  3. RControl & ^Q::
  4.  send ^c                 ;current selection to clipboard
  5.  ;SetTitleMatchMode, 2   ;1: must start with    ;2: can contain         ;3: must exactly match
  6.  ;SendMode, Input      
  7.  
  8.  IfWinExist, QuickDic
  9.  {
  10.    WinActivate, QuickDic
  11.  }
  12.  Else
  13.  {
  14.    DetectHiddenWindows, On ;see invisible windows - zB um Windows im Tray zu erkennen
  15.    WinRestore, QuickDic        ;Un-minimizes or un-maximizes
  16.  }
  17.  IfWinActive, QuickDic
  18.         send ^a  ;select all for overwriting
  19.         send ^v  ;paste
  20. return



Hmm, it seams that the Code Highlighting for AutoHotkey is somehow broken?
So again in AutoIt:

EDIT:
ahh, i see the Code Highlighting for AutoHotkey is only messed up in the preview (with FireFox) and looks ok once posted.
229
Great it works!   :Thmbsup:

Note: you can assign an shortcut to "Filter by Selections" via  "Tools > Keyboard Shortcuts..." (Category 'View')
or create an own tool bar button with '#359;' as command. Example >> http://www.xyplorer....c.php?p=54756#p54756

--

If you want you can go an step further and do all work with an single step by using an script.

Dummy code:
sync("SelectNewer"); //select newer matches on the active pane
#359; //"Filter by Selections" command as found in "Tools > Keyboard Shortcuts..."

or
text sync("selectuniques", 1); //"text" shows uniques in text box

See XYplorer help > "Advanced > Scripting Command Reference"
If you need help by writing such an script just ask by mention what should happen exactly.

--

Such an script can be executed by an key press or by an menu button.
There is an collection about "How to execute an Script ?" hidden way down in that thread >>> http://www.xyplorer....c.php?p=47239#p47239
Just scroll down till ""How to execute an Script ?""

There are some free and portable sync tools which you can use to just see the differences.
Did you need some hints: FreeFileSync, DiffMerge, ...

or WinMerge
WinMerge.PNG




And if you use an file manager like Total Commander,

FreeCommander
FreeCommander_c30.png

or XYplorer or... you can use that power to aid you.




For example i can use XYplorer to see files being only into one pane like:
menu "Panes > Sync Select..." to select some files
followed by
menu "View > Tab > Filter by Selection" to see only the selected files out of hundreds

Clipboard Help+Spell / More feature for "Modify Format/Case"
« Last post by AbteriX on April 17, 2011, 03:04 PM »
I really love the "Modify Format/Case" feature of Clipboard Help+Spell  :Thmbsup:

From time to time i need some more features and have to use other tools to reformat my text.
So i want to post a few suggestion to improve "Modify Format/Case", maybe it will be from interest to mouser.


Code: Text [Select]
  1. Trim excess White space
  2.  [ ]Left  [ ]Inside [ ]Right [ ]Keep one
  3.  
  4. Trim Left
  5.  [ ]Skip white space
  6.  [ ]Till sign[]
  7.  
  8. Trim Right
  9.  [ ]Skip white space
  10.  [ ]from sign[] to end
  11.  [ ]from pos[] to end /truncate line
  12.  
  13. Add to Lines
  14.  [ ]at cloumn[]
  15.  [ ]before sign[]
  16.  [ ]after sign[]
  17.  
  18. Add to columns
  19.  Columns are seperated by[ \t ], Column is represented as %C%
  20.  [ Before first column: %C% after first and before second column %C% text after second column]
  21.  
  22. Allow the use of regex in the "Strip Leading/Trailing Stuff"
  23.  
  24. Trim Linebreaks /Join lines
  25.  [ ]every [] lines
  26.  
  27. Remove lines: []Not starting() containing() ending() with [ ]  --- ()case sensitive
  28.  
  29. Hard Wrapping
  30.  [ ]Split before char[]
  31.  [ ]Split after char[]
  32.  [ ]Keep char
  33.  ()case sensitive



Explanation


- - -


Trim excess White space
 [ ]Left  [ ]Inside [ ]Right [ ]Keep one

have some finer adjustment to remove f.ex. only whitspace at the end

- - -

Trim Left
 [ ]Skip white space -- and remove non-whitespace signs only.
F.ex. Trim left 1 char  on "   ABC" will remove the 'A' instead of the first blank

 [ ]Till sign[]
F.ex. Till sign [ :] on " ABC: def" will remove all signs till the colon

Trim Right
 [ ]Skip white space
 [ ]from sign[] to end

 [ ]from pos[] to end /truncate line
F.ex. From pos[ 72] will drop all signs after column 72



- - -

Add to Lines
 [ ]at cloumn[]
F.ex. At column[10] will add text or counter in column 10

 [ ]before sign[]
 [ ]after sign[]
F.ex. After sign[=] will add text after the equal sign

- - -
Add to columns
 Columns are seperated by[ \t ], Column is represented here as %C%

F.ex.
Before:
AAAA BBBB CCCC DDDD EEEE
Command:
 [ Before first column: %C% after first and before second column %C% text after second column]
After:
Before first column: AAAA after first and before second column BBBB text after second column CCCC DDDD EEEE



Or more useful example:
One Two Three
 Columns are seperated by[\s ], Column is represented here as %C%
 [ <TR><TD> %C% </TD><TD> %C% </TD><TD> %C% </TD></TR>]
 <TR><TD> One </TD><TD> Two </TD><TD> Three </TD></TR>

- - -

Trim Linebreaks /Join lines
 [ ]every [] lines


F.ex.

i often copy text from the browser like:

* Word1 Explanation line goes here
* Word2 Explanation line goes here
* Word3 Explanation line goes here

and get splitted lines like

*
Word1
Explanation line goes here

*
Word2
Explanation line goes here

*
Word3
Explanation line goes here


So i would use
Join  [X]every [4] lines

- - -

Remove lines: []Not starting() containing() ending() with [ ]

F.ex.
Remove lines: []Not starting() containing(o) ending() with [ ToDo:]
will remove lines which have the text "ToDo:" somewhere in it.

Remove lines: [X]Not starting(O) containing() ending() with [ error]
will remove line NOT starting with "error" 

- - -

Hard Wrapping
 [ ]Split before char[]
 [ ]Split after char[]
 [ ]Keep char

F.ex.
Before:
Split, at, sign, coma, as, seperator
Command:
 [X]Split after char[ , ]
 [X]Keep char
After:
Split,
at,
sign,
coma,
as,
seperator

General Software Discussion / Re: Favorite ZIP/RAR application?
« Last post by AbteriX on March 18, 2011, 03:22 PM »
The only drawback of winrar occurs when I have to use a PC where it is not installed, and there is no "official" portable version.
There is "WinRAR Unplugged" > http://www.win-rar.c...m/unpluggedinfo.html

WinRAR Unplugged at a glance

WinRAR Unplugged is portable! Now you can take the best compression tool with
you wherever you go, giving you extra mobility and productivity!

WinRAR Unplugged is designed to work without installation from devices like USB/Flash drives, external harddrives etc.

fSekrit / Re: 2011 status report
« Last post by AbteriX on March 11, 2011, 02:58 PM »
Any comments, or have people stopped using fSekrit for lack of updates? ;)
I like fSekrit as it is right now  :Thmbsup:
I use it mostly to keep serial numbers for an app in the same [public] folder (or CD) as the setup for this app.
Just double click fSekrit.exe, enter the password, read the serial, close the dialog. Pretty fine.

[Giveaway] PDF Decrypter Pro FULL VERSION Unlimited Activations for 72 hours
ShadowMaster | Feb 27, 2011 | Comments 9
PDF Decrypter Pro can be used to decrypt protected PDF files, which have “owner” password set,
preventing the file from editing (changing), printing, selecting text and graphics (and copying them
into the Clipboard), or adding/changing annotations and form fields. PDF decrypt is being done instantly.

more at:
http://www.tipradar....ns-for-72-hours.html


There is an download link ("Download link and activation instructions HERE")
for an zip archive (~ 6 MB) with the setup.exe (3.0.0, Oct 25, 2009) and an text file with the license.

I was able to unpack the setup.exe with UniExtract and use this tool without installation
(i have no check done what this does to the OS right now)

First test with an 40 MB encrypted programmers eBook which not allow to copy code to clipboard was successful within a few seconds.

I saw that this app use pdftk. I was not able to decrypt the pdf by pdftk command line only... maybe anyone knows how to do this
(or can explain how PDF Decrypter Pro works)

Create Folders utility - (2008-11-10).png


I have also often the need to create files or folders and tried do code something my own.
At last they work good enough for me... but i am interested in an feature rich, well coded app,... if anyone knows one or like to code...
i have the ideas for features and can make an GUI layout,... but doesn't have the time or skill to code this so it runs fast.

General Software Discussion / Re: Bulk Creating Folders
« Last post by AbteriX on February 16, 2011, 02:28 PM »
I had to create a bunch of folders. (64 actually) And I looked for something to help me do it,
My file managers help me here...


...or just an batch:

If you have an list of folder names:
Code: Text [Select]
  1. @ECHO OFF
  2. MD "X:\path\to\Folder01"
  3. MD "X:\path\to\Folder30"
  4. MD "X:\path\to\Folder64"


or if you just want to create some serialized folders:
Code: Text [Select]
  1. @ECHO OFF
  2. SET myFolderName=new_Folder
  3. set /p "myAmount=How many folders do you want to create?"
  4. for /l %%i in (1,1,%myAmount%) do (MD %myFolderName%_%%i >NUL)
new_Folder_1
new_Folder_2
new_Folder_3

And BTW this is for files:
Code: Text [Select]
  1. @ECHO OFF
  2. SET myFileName=new_File
  3. set /p "myAmount=How many files do you want to create?"
  4. for /l %%i in (1,1,%myAmount%) do (copy nul %myFileName%_%%i.txt >NUL)
new_File_1.txt
new_File_2.txt
new_File_3.txt
239
>take a hierarchical directory tree of files,

That's what i had in mind.
- browse to an folder
- see on the left all files and subfolders
- supported files (like txt and rtf) could be previewed (or edited) in the right pane
- other files like doc or xls could be opened in associated app
-- (and there could be an notice shown at the right pane.  This notices are stored in
-- an additional file aside the real file, with the same name plus an addition, and an hidden attribute)
- the app itself should store no info what files are in the repository
- all file & folders i add or remove -in real on disk- are shown in the left pane
- for adding links to documents i would just add real shortcuts into the real folder

Of course maybe the app could show doc and xls by using OLE inside the right pane too
and provide that way some formating possibilities?

Perhaps there could be an portable 'desktop' search engine be used to corporate for searching issues.


I am now reminded that i had see such app one time in the past, but for plain text only:

Thanks for the suggestions, but i didn't search for an tagging tool  :Thmbsup:
241
Hi Folks,

i am still searching for an tool to collect infos and documents.

It should be fully portable.
I don't like the all-in-one-databasefile thing anymore.
I like something like Scribble Papers => one file for each side (node?), but i don't like the proprietary name scheme of ScrbblePapers (Page0000163.scp)
Instead i would prefer that "Folders" inside the app refer to an real folder at the disk (in the app data folder)
and that the nodes in the app refer to real files on the disk (in the app data folder)
And if i add files to the app data folder i like to see them in the app later too, without importing them first.
I like to insert an link to DOC or XLS to the tree of the app too, so i have entries as plain text or RTF and links to other docs which open in the related app.

In other words:
- i like to have an folder at my disk with sub-folders and files
- i like an app which show me that structure like WinEx would do.
- as far as the app can do the app should show me documents (txt and rtf?) inside the app... or open the related default app for an doc


Right now i do this in TotalCommander by using Ctrl+Q and test several outliners... but i am still at the search.

Any ideas?  ;)  Then please share, thanks.
242
Just an reminder: last day today (see post 1 https://www.donation....msg212898#msg212898)

I was surprised not to see a bunch of (obvious) feature options, in XYplorer. So, if I don't care to learn some scripting, I might not be satisfied with XYplorer. Is that it?

I would definitely suggest you use the trial period to evaluate it fully before you purchase.
That comes too late, i assume  :P

I was surprised not to see a bunch of (obvious) feature options, in XYplorer. So, if I don't care to learn some scripting, I might not be satisfied with XYplorer. Is that it?
I too missed thinks as i first worked with XYplorer, the same was with TotalCommander (and there even more if you just use the default menu layout only and didn't know something about plugins)
but over time i found things or  i learned that they are just implemented in an other way.

What do you miss? Maybe someone can point you?
244
I was the first to take offer!! Why?
Maybe because the offer just started on July 16, and was only announced
on the XYplorer forum and as an hint on the "purchase"-page?
So people at DC forum may be the first (after XY forum members) who has know about that offer.

Yeah, lets see please  :P

Actually, my favourite file renamer, ReNamer, can already do what you want. 
Please note that the list of "right" names have to be in the same order as the files to rename are listed in e.g. ReNamer.
Otherwise you get files with the right names but not the content the names may suggest.
