Living Room / Re: AI Coding Assistants (Who uses them and which)
« Last post by Ath on August 03, 2024, 03:36 AM »
Which assistants have you tried
-KynloStephen66515 (August 02, 2024, 04:50 PM)
None, opinion based on the crappy 'examples' / 'answers' that ppl posted in (another) forum.

Basically, I'm sitting out the storm, to see what eventually rolls out without the world crumbling to pieces. (Must be related to my age/experience and somewhat conservative approach to 'the latest hype') :)

Do you mean the quality of the code? The LLMs themselves? or am I missing something
-KynloStephen66515 (August 02, 2024, 02:45 PM)

Any example I've seen so far seems to be a garbage answer, unusable or totally unfit to what it's supposed to be tailored to. I'll wait and see what's left after the dust of this hype settles :huh:

Simple: Nope. To me that's garbage in, garbage out.

Coding Snacks / Re: Unlock used files on the fly, in the background
« Last post by Ath on August 01, 2024, 12:29 PM »
As a nearly fulltime Windows user (software developer), I never have to deal with locked files, so I'm quite curious what you do that you need such tool?

Screenshot Captor / Re: Drop down categories are no longer at top but on the side..why?
« Last post by Ath on July 22, 2024, 12:32 PM »
You can just grab the toolbar with the mouse pointer, and drag it to where you want it. That's probably also how it got there where it is now... ;)

Screenshot Captor / Re: Overexposed Screenshot
« Last post by Ath on July 19, 2024, 02:09 PM »
This type of odd behavior has been caused by graphics card driver issues, in the past. General solution was to update to the latest available WHQL certified driver to get rid of the deformations.

NB: No need to cross-post in multiple sections of the forum, Mouser has it all covered, though he seems to be busy on other projects lately.

Post New Requests Here / Re: comparing two big different lists of strings/filenames
« Last post by Ath on June 05, 2024, 01:13 AM »
Wouldn't that all be fixed by handling strings as Unicode? Because stripping 'non-ascii' from titles would mean significant information being removed from these titles :huh:

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... 8)

Well, I just got an automatic update, so that part worked :Thmbsup:

General Software Discussion / Re: Any good Control Viewer?
« Last post by Ath on March 26, 2024, 02:31 PM »
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 :mad:) can be circumvented by installing ExplorerPatcher, that will make Windows 11 usable (bearable?) for power (actually: any) users.

it was a huge 20MB file
-kalos (March 04, 2024, 02:28 PM)

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. :tellme:

requirement 1) can be achieved by the (extended) volume mixer of Windows 10 and later.

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... :huh:)

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.

General Software Discussion / Re: Play MP3s Randomly?
« Last post by Ath on January 05, 2024, 01:23 AM »
but I do not know how to use the command line functions...
-luvnbeast (January 04, 2024, 06:01 PM)
Hm, documentation isn't very elaborate :o, 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?
« Last post by Ath on January 04, 2024, 04:25 PM »
Usually, Skwire already has a tool for that, and indeed, it's available, for some time: Trout  :D

Some screenshot programs can use delayed capture
-rjbull (November 16, 2023, 04:27 PM)
Like Screenshot Capture...

General Software Discussion / Re: screen capture by key-stroke (not mouse) shows fingers in WinSnap
« Last post by Ath on November 16, 2023, 12:02 PM »
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.

Living Room / Re: I am searching for discussion communities about online shopping
« Last post by Ath on November 15, 2023, 04:29 PM »
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 :huh:

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.

General Software Discussion / Re: Synchronization software with tree view, moved files detection and size ignore

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 :huh:

Find And Run Robot / Re: FARR still best in my testing (one exception)

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

Yes, please.

Please attach screenshots to your posts, as those externally hosted files will disappear in weeks/months after posting, so sometime in the (near) future we won't be able to see them anymore :-\
