General Software Discussion / Re: End-user problems with Artplus Software
« Last post by mouser on December 15, 2007, 05:40 PM »
I have some concerns about this section as well, and it was always clear that there was real potential for things like we see here in this thread.

And the point that this section could be used by people to make up stuff to attack the competition is troubling.

If this section gets out of hand we will have to reconsider it.. Right now it exists because the consensus of people on this forum seems to be that they want a place where they can talk about problems they have with companies, without it cluttering up the main sections of the forum.  I don't really view the decision as one i should be making -- it's up to the people here whether they want such a section.  As long as it remains generally civil I think it's ok.  People do need a way to express their frustrations about companies, and warn their friends.  If a company has a forum that is usually the best place -- if they don't then a forum like this is definitely needed.

As far as only allowing one side of the story -- I do think this thread shows that this is not the case.  I would welcome both sides to comment on any complaints here (again, as long as they do it in a civil manner).  I think it's always important for both sides to have their say.

I'm not sure how to respond to this thread..
It got personal and ugly quickly..

Both sides clearly feel mistreated and like they have to defend themselves against what they see as unfair behavior from the other.

We try hard to be a place where both end users and software developers can communicate, so there is bound to be some tension occasionally where there is a feeling that one party has wronged another.

I can only remind people that we really try to keep things civil here and encourage people to take the high road at all times.  And when everyone has had their say try to refrain from piling on -- we have intelligent readers here who can will read all points of view and make an intelligent decision about what the arguments mean for them.

General Software Discussion / Re: Userbar Generator: Cool Freeware
« Last post by mouser on December 15, 2007, 03:51 PM »
i was also thinking of some seals/badges/userbars maybe to celebrate our fundraiser next week that had the text:
"I Fund Software at DonationCoder.com"
something like that, that people could feel good about and would emphasize their role in supporting the development of software here by their donation.

you know what might be cool is if.. when we setting on a good userbar look, we could upload the config file, with text like:

"DONATIONCODER.COM MEMBER: XXXXXX"
where user could put in their username and make clicking on the bar link to their profile on donationcoder..
could be something fun people could use on other forums, etc.

i knew josh was gonna hit me for dcupdater.
note that it's an option in dcupdater, though i suppose i should make the default to not popup and grab focus.

when you say you didnt manage to make it work, can you elaborate?

Here is your page of drivers from the toshiba site:
http://www.csd.toshi...rpn=PSAEGU&ct=DL

You want to download the most recent of each different driver.
Check your bios version as well and upgrade your bios if it is older (MAYBE -- only if you feel like an adventure).

Any pc that can run vista can run xp well.

Post New Requests Here / Re: IDEA: a Profile-able Workdesk Desktop
« Last post by mouser on December 14, 2007, 04:25 PM »
I'm starting to warm up to this idea, as distinct from a virtual desktop tool.
A virtual desktop tool (like virtuawin, which i like), is nice for running multiple programs on different virtual desktops, etc.

As I see this request, it's more of an occasional switching between modes of working.  So when you switch you want different icons, wallpaper, etc.  It's not about running multiple programs on dif desktops, just about setting up different desktop environments suited for different modes of working.

Nice find nontroppo, though it is not free.
I'm sort of warming to this idea as a coding snack.. i'll post on the request thread (https://www.donation...ndex.php?topic=10819)

The general approach with such stuff that i recommend is:

1) backup current hard drive image so you can always go back to you current setup (i.e. use a drive imager like Acronis, etc.)
2) backup any of your data files in an easy-to-access way.
3) visit the website of the computer manufacturer and find and download all drivers for your computer (important if you have a laptop since there are commonly special drivers for the network, touchpad, etc.)
4) do a clean install of the new operating system, wiping out the previous one (i.e. never try to do a formal "upgrade")
5) install the drivers
6) do a driver image of the new clean install.

Toshiba is a good laptop maker and their drivers are easily available on the web -- you should have no problem with xp on that machine.

Find And Run Robot / Re: Start menu links open as text files?
« Last post by mouser on December 14, 2007, 12:05 PM »
please make a note of which lnks dont open properly.
i can try coding an alternative way of launching the .lnk files and we can see if that fixes it.

Find And Run Robot / Re: Start menu links open as text files?
« Last post by mouser on December 14, 2007, 11:58 AM »
see if you can spot anything unusual about the lnk files that it opens up still in notepad.

Find And Run Robot / Re: Start menu links open as text files?

i'd love to know why that's happening.. sounds very bizzarre.

Find And Run Robot / Re: Start menu links open as text files?
« Last post by mouser on December 14, 2007, 10:51 AM »
that is really bizzarre and i've never heard of it before.
it sounds like maybe your .lnk files have somehow been configured to open as text files, though maybe your file manager is overriding that, hiding the problem?

if you use a 3rd party file manager, try windows explorer and see what happens.

as a workaround, you could try going to the options of FARR and on the general tab UNCHECK "Always launch shortcuts directly instead of resolving links"
24747
this has actually been requested several times as a core farr feature, but maybe it would be good to do it as a plugin?
plugin to let farr search recently opened files, e.g.
http://www.nirsoft.n...cent_files_view.html

« Last post by mouser on December 14, 2007, 08:45 AM »
there are 2 directories where alias files go, one is AliasGroups\Installed and one is AliasGroups\MyCustom
you should definitely have already had myaliases.alias in the MyCustom\ subdirectory.  if you didn't then i need to figure out why.
