wait. i thought everyone understood the rules already.. there are a fixed number of bugs in each of my programs (534 in each program to be precise).  if you ask me to fix one bug naturally i will just exchange it for another.

Skrommel's Software / Re: DragKing 1.3

« Last post by mouser on June 29, 2008, 03:46 PM »

i think skrommel needs to rebuild his exes.. i rebuilt some of them a while ago and the ones which use external helper utilities i think i mucked up.  so it's my fault really, but only skrommel can fix.. we need to petition him to update his web page.

General Software Discussion / Re: Is it possible to cut a portion of an image with a freehand slice

« Last post by mouser on June 29, 2008, 12:34 PM »

lasso select is usually what its called..
but there is an entire market of plugins and tools and tutorials on "MASKING" which aim to help you do good selection of people and objects from a background so that you can reuse it on a different background.

basically i believe what happened is it stopped working for aliases with only one result.
im going to fix it so it worked as before, and i should have an update today.

then we can return to the issue of a more interactive completer for aliases with arguments, i had a few more ideas about it i will talk about later.

Developer's Corner / Re: Use a foreach loop maybe?

« Last post by mouser on June 28, 2008, 11:11 PM »

its still not the cleanest code and your do-while loop is a bit awkward because you basically doing this:

line 37: $row_Recordset1 = mysql_fetch_assoc($Recordset1);
then some other lines and then:
do {stuff} while while ($row_Recordset1 = mysql_fetch_assoc($Recordset1));


When it would be cleaner to simply delete line 37 and have:

while ($row_Recordset1 = mysql_fetch_assoc($Recordset1)) do { stuff }

DC Website Help and Extras / Re: Does anyone know a solution to prevent the opening of useless links????

« Last post by mouser on June 28, 2008, 01:37 PM »

Without loading the page, you wouldn't know what it was about, hence you wouldn't know if it was useless or not.

not quite true..
if you were willing to place trust in other users you could have a community that ranked links on pages, and fetched those ranks from a central online repository, and then showed numerical scores next to each link on a page.  it's a cool idea.

DC Website Help and Extras / Re: Does anyone know a solution to prevent the opening of useless links????

« Last post by mouser on June 28, 2008, 11:00 AM »

you know this is a simple but good idea..

there are firefox plugins that will give you *previews* of sites just by hovering over a link, which would help avoid having to visit sites only to discover they are worthless,

BUT:
are there plugins that use some crowd or expert wisdom to basically put scores next to links based on the judged quality of the links (judged by experts, heuristics, or crowd voting, etc.)

Now that's a nice idea for a FireFox plugin.

Find And Run Robot / Re: [Bug] Farr no longer auto completes custom alias after "tab" (v2.12.03)

« Last post by mouser on June 28, 2008, 09:55 AM »

I think maybe i see.. the old version would autocomplete an alias match (whether name or regular expression) with the name of the alias, is that what you guys want back?

I will do that, and then we can talk later about the idea that maybe regular expression aliases should have an extra value you can figure which would be kind of like a "DEFAULT STARTER SEARCH STRING" that would be what is put into edit box if you autocomplete on a regular expression with tab, or if you select it from the agroups list.

« Last post by mouser on June 28, 2008, 09:49 AM »

I need some help here.
I guess my first question is how did it used to work?
Can anyone give me a concrete example?

And then if the answer is different, the next question is: how should it work?

in other words, what should it auto complete to?
especially if this is a regular expression alias, it's not clear how to autocomplete it.
and if its not a regular expression alias, then what do you want autocompleted?

and what does it do now? i ask because it seems to be autocompleting for me so i'm a bit lost.

Screenshot Captor / Re: Hide effects feature

« Last post by mouser on June 28, 2008, 02:06 AM »

thats an interesting idea.  it cant be done for effects, but for objects it could be added as a feature, since sc keeps a copy of the image without any objects.

Developer's Corner / Re: Use a foreach loop maybe?

« Last post by mouser on June 28, 2008, 01:53 AM »

your for part is no good.

you could simply do a check INSIDE your do while loop (which incidentally should probably be a while do loop)
and say
if ($row_Recordset1['SubId'] != $Test) continue;

OR you coud modify the mysql so that it only fetched rows with that setting.

General Software Discussion / Re: System Restore Trojan?

« Last post by mouser on June 27, 2008, 06:38 PM »

deo it's not clear to me if:
1) you have a serious trojan on your pc which is locking and hiding it's files to avoid detection and removal
or
2) if you have an antivirus program that decided a good way to block a suspected trojan is to delete it and move it somewhere as a hidden locked file in quarantine.
or
3) something else

try redownloading, especially if you downloaded using internet explorer.
and also, it's clear that that file is made for Vista 64bit version -- which is unusual -- if you just have a normal version of vista installed, then you dont want the 64bit version.
