Screenshot Captor / Re: capture image from SC editor
« Last post by mouser on October 10, 2007, 10:56 AM »
this sounds like simply a misunderstanding.
after you edit an image you can save it (or save it with a new name).
it doesn't matter how zoomed in the display is, it will always save it at 100%.

You can quickly copy the current image to the clipboard (at 100% zoom of course) by hitting ctrl+c or choosing Edit->Copy Image to Clipboard.

Does that answer your question?

Screenshot Captor / Re: Custom thumbnail size.
« Last post by mouser on October 10, 2007, 10:49 AM »
autosize means scale the thumbnail panel thumnails to the width of the panel.
i could add ability to specify a custom size.

note that this is not the size used for the Thumbnail Creation tool in screenshot captor, that's something very different.  this setting just controls the size of the images in the left panel.

rj, i was thinking i could enhance the formatting preset sytem and solve the problem you point out as well by doing this:
Add an option WITHIN the existing formatting presets to invoke a tool on the clip text IN ADDITION to performing the formatting options specified.

that is, right now you can either use an external tool, OR use the built-in system.  but what if i add running a tool to the choices of things you can do normally in a formatting preset.  this would let you add them to the pop-up menu like any normal formatting preset, and make it easier to combine both the built in functions with external tools.

General Software Discussion / Adobe Acrobat Reader Security Vulnerability
« Last post by mouser on October 09, 2007, 11:24 AM »
Adobe has fessed up to a dangerous code execution vulnerability affecting software programs installed on millions of Windows machines.

The flaw, publicly disclosed more than three weeks ago, could allow hackers to use rigged PDF files to take control of Window XP computers with Internet Explorer 7 installed.

The bug affects Adobe Reader 8.1 and earlier versions, Adobe Acrobat Standard, Professional and Elements 8.1 and earlier versions, and Adobe Acrobat 3D.

DonationCoder Projects / Re: Cody Tasks
« Last post by mouser on October 09, 2007, 10:59 AM »
- For greater fun and mayhem, allow users to reassign their tasks to others randomly (kidding!)

remember that a key aspect of this script is that users don't have their own tasks, we are really talking about a shared list of tasks that everyone participating has.  in other words, this script is for when you have a list of tasks and everyone is keeping track of how far they have gotten on this same list of tasks.

DonationCoder Projects / Cody Tasks
« Last post by mouser on October 09, 2007, 10:39 AM »
Does anyone want to take a try at creating the CodyTasks idea that we tossed around a little while ago?

The idea is to have a script that would keep track of some # of tasks and who had completed each one.

Some more details, keeping things as simple as possible:
Admin can create a text file (or database table) that lists tasks.
At first i think the task completion will be completely on the honor system, so users should see the list of tasks and be able to check tasks they complete.  Eventually it would be nice to be able to say some tasks can only be marked complete for a user by the page admin.
So when a user visits the page the script should look up their username and show them the list of all tasks and which ones they have accomplished, and let them mark tasks they have completed.  Where do user names come from?  We will interface the script to the forum database, so the script should simply include a function call to "getusername" which will sometimes simply return null, meaning the user isnt logged in and so there is nothing for them to do.
Lastly, we would also want it so users could see a list of all people who have accomplished tasks.

I'm just so happy to hear that some dc members are coding some games!  :up:
I hope you will share them with us.  I think actually i'm going to go create a special games section for the Programming School to encourage more of this.

an escrow service might be a good solution in general, but if he is wanting to be sure who you are, it seems to me like a bank transfer should give him that assurance and would be safe for everyone.

i would not send a passport scan.

it's probably just that he wants to be sure you are who you say you are so that he knows who he is dealing with, but there has to be a better way to give him such assurances besides sending confidential information like passport details.

i'm not sure what it could be.  i run it on winxp sp2.
try exiting program and deleteing the urlsnooper.ini file in the program directory, see if that helps.

are you using a non-english version of windows?
