Screenshot Captor / Re: Toolbar at screen top does not appear when Windows opens

« Last post by Ath on May 30, 2024, 04:31 PM »

What I don't know is how it got unchecked.

-tigerdg (May 30, 2024, 03:04 PM)

One of the buttons in the toolbar hides it and disables that setting...

General Software Discussion / Re: Any good Control Viewer?

If you install AutoHotKey you'll also find the Window Spy, that does similar things like the Control Viewer. The AutoIt tool never worked that well for me, not even on Windows XP, 7 or 10.

that runs Windows 11, where it does not seem possible to create custom toolbars any more.

-ConstanceJill (March 23, 2024, 03:19 PM)

That major mishap of MS (one of many in Windows 11, for some reason they want to make Windows 11 look like Mac OS ) can be circumvented by installing ExplorerPatcher, that will make Windows 11 usable (bearable?) for power (actually: any) users.

That's mostly the content for demonstrating the exercises you could do during the breaks. The software is open source, so you can inspect what it's actually doing, and what's included.

Screenshot Captor / Re: Sending picture as URL

« Last post by Ath on February 29, 2024, 04:26 PM »

The url has to be externally accessible, so you'll have to (auto-)upload the file somewhere (SC can do that) and share the link.

Therefore I wondered whatever happened to this as it feels like something I would use and keep forever.

-aires69uk (February 27, 2024, 08:03 AM)

Not sure what exact software you are pointing at here (multiple links, and a different thread subject... )

The user fenixproductions wasn't migrated to the new DCMembers,.com/[username] site it seems (it was a manual move with a temporary redirect, that they didn't participate in, AFAICS)

The ghisler link is still working.

The download for the Dimensions2Folders software by skwire, in this thread, is also still working.

-luvnbeast (January 04, 2024, 06:01 PM)

Hm, documentation isn't very elaborate , but I think you can extract most commands from the changelog.txt file.
Guess the Random option has to be set in the UI, after which you can add tracks by issuing "trout (track.mp3)", probably supports wildcards, though I haven't tested that.

General Software Discussion / Re: Play MP3s Randomly?

Usually, Skwire already has a tool for that, and indeed, it's available, for some time: Trout

Not sure what 'fingers' you are talking about?
Capturing a screen without the mouse cursor/pointer is an option in Screenshot Capture. Don't know about WinSnap.

Just a discussion forum like this. Where people can express freely...

-Contro (November 15, 2023, 01:49 AM)

If you feel there are not enough platforms available to express your disagreement with something, anything (as mentioned: Reddit?, X (formerly known as Twitter)?, Mastodon?), you can of course start your own?

When having issues with sellers on any of the seller-platforms, there is always a possibility to file a complaint.
If you disagree with the way they offer their goods, or the goods they offer, then don't use these platforms, and buy locally.

Just writing about what you think is wrong isn't going to change much if you don't take the action to change it. I don't expect other people will do that for you

General Software Discussion / Re: How to edit a titlebar from a dll?

« Last post by Ath on October 22, 2023, 05:57 AM »

Without the original source of the dll it is close to impossible to re-create the dll.
The only viable option of changing that title is to grab a hex editor, and change that title, with the restriction you have to keep the current length as the max. length, optionally filling with spaces or 0s at the end when the new title is shorter.

I need a comparison mode where files with the same name and date but different size are considered identical

-David.P (October 07, 2023, 07:11 AM)

That's rather weird, as those files can't be identical... and probably the reason no comparison tool will accept that condition

Okay, sure. Just to clarify, do you mean save the screenshot locally and then use the "Attach:" option to upload. Right?

Screenshot Captor / Re: Auto cpture does not work anymore

« Last post by Ath on September 20, 2023, 04:00 PM »

I'd suggest to first try how it behaves after disabling the antimalware service you mention, as that type of software is known to 'interfere' with screenshot software. Or maybe add it to the white-list if that's possible.

General Software Discussion / Re: After a time of inactivity in the pc maximize a window of a program in the tray

« Last post by Ath on August 18, 2023, 03:34 PM »

It's difficult with a batch command that program to maximize when resident in the tray icon !

-Contro (August 18, 2023, 01:16 PM)

Usually, to maximize a program from the system tray, is a feature of the program itself, not by blasting a command at it and expecting it to do as you desire.
If PBOL doesn't support that, it won't work (period).

Living Room / Re: Looking for Raspberry Pi with Pass-Through Power

« Last post by Ath on August 17, 2023, 06:01 AM »

I see a lot of this kind of devices, where they usually have an ESP8266/ESP8285 or ESP32 chip (with WiFi support, and some ESP32 even use BLe), but they also have (at least) a relay to switch the output and often a sensor to measure power consumption. I've never seen one with an RPi, though with the recent RP2040 that might change, as that chip is targetting the IoT market. But it's not nearly as capable as a full-fledged RPi, more in the ESP/STM region.

Living Room / Re: Looking for Raspberry Pi with Pass-Through Power

What will the main task of the RPi be? Not just switching & measuring the power, I assume?

What is your definition of 'inactivity'?
