General Software Discussion / Re: filter display in outlook
« Last post by Ath on March 01, 2012, 09:13 AM »
Even outlook 2003 has filter/search features, I'd expect.

I use Outlook 2010 and the built-in Find feature is absolute crap.  If anyone knows of a good alternative I'd like to hear from them.
If you don't need to search archived pst files, then you might checkout Xobni.  It's more for contact management, but does a good job finding emails, todos, calendar, and memos too.

Only plausible suggestion I can think of is Xobni, but it can be troublesome to get installed on an x64 Outlook install :(

2 known search options in Outlook:
- Outlook (at least 2007 and 2010) does already have a 'simple' filter feature like that, reached by Ctrl-E (default keyboard mapping)
- Pressing Ctrl-Shift-F brings up the Advanced search criteria screen.

Isn't that enough?

Shouldn't this be better asked in the egghelp forum you referred to? I see you posted there yesterday, but ask no question(s) regarding this issue, and imho the knowledge should be there, or there's an error in the script...

With the risk of being totally wrong, but doesn't the message "wrong # args" suggest it needs 1 or more arguments passed?, so you'd type "!showinfo somenick" (without the quotes ofcourse)

Can you compile normal "stand-alone" Windows EXEs though?
-kunkel321 (February 28, 2012, 04:57 PM)
Ehm, it does 'HTML 5 webapps', so you'd have to run it in a browser capable of that. Most of it is probably some form of web-page script besides HTML 5, so no (local) webserver needed.

but they are ISC files
-kunkel321 (February 28, 2012, 04:57 PM)
That's the project files the applications are generated from. Open it using Illumination, and generate the desired (platform) output from it.

Post New Requests Here / Re: IDEA: change cursor depending on program
« Last post by Ath on February 28, 2012, 03:39 PM »
Found this AHK tool on thebitguru, that, with some twiddling (if you can handle AHK), could be forced into auto-switching depending on the current active executable. Without twiddling it can switch on a keypress, if some hotkey is associated with the shortcut.

Needs a scheme name to be set in the script, and probably a fix for Win7 if desired, but it could be a start.

And what about connecting a corded mouse to an USB port and mousing away with that? 10 to 1 that your company's techsupport or the local supermarket has a free/cheap mouse laying around that you can use instead of the awkward glidepad mousing associated with laptops :tellme:

Are you going to control the system by keyboard/mouse, or is there some kind of TV remote-control device planned?

Doubt:
When adding RAID functionality, staying around the $500 mark will be quite tricky :-\

What it does not have is a switch to compress each file into a separate archive.

You could do some smart batch scripting for that if needed? ;)

@tranglos, maybe you got the portable version, but I've used the installer version 8) Can only find the uninstaller exe and an ini file that doesn't hold any license related data, being dated on the install-date.

it stores the registration info in the folder where it is installed
-tranglos (February 22, 2012, 10:14 AM)
It's much more likely that it stores the registration in the HKLM hive of the registry, where, for most locations, Admin access is required to be able to write.

« Last post by Ath on February 20, 2012, 05:27 PM »
-no, I was just dreaming. The case is, I have a favourite program waiting for me on my abandoned XP. Now I see that the more pricey W7 versions will run XP "for free" - starting my imagination!
tomos talked about "xpmode", but I didn't understand it, until now.
-Curt (February 20, 2012, 05:06 PM)
The only reason xpmode is interesting is because it includes a valid license, but it should best be run in VirtualBox or VMWare solutions, not on crappy VPC as MS wants you to. In both alternate cases, it's still running on the same Windows 7 instance, and with the VirtualBox solution it's even nearly as seamless as the original VPC mode.

Oh, and the only reasons I can think of running XP are indeed old software (C++ Builder 5 required for a few old projects :huh:) or hardware without drivers for anything past XP, but that's not going to work for any of the virtualized solutions anyway, so the only reason I had xpmode installed was to prove I could. The rest is done using VMWare, as performance with VirtualBox is not up to par.

What are the greatest benefits from two CPUs?
-Curt (February 20, 2012, 04:44 PM)
That you can run more then 12 cores (afaik currently the max no. of cores available in a single CPU), but if you need/have that, then Windows 7 Home Premium probably won't be your OS of choice :D

Welcome to DonationCoder, lastgasp,

so I can choose a temp folder located on the C root drive?
-lastgasp (February 20, 2012, 03:03 AM)
You can normally do that by setting the TMP (and sometimes TEMP) environment variable to the desired location (f.e. set TMP=C:\TMP), just before starting the application. A simple batchfile could be a way to do that.
