LaunchBar Commander / Re: Opening Favorite Folder

« Last post by mouser on March 03, 2018, 06:18 AM »

Ok let's see.. Can I assume that you have the latest version?
When you say your directory nodes -- you mean nodes where they are supposed to show the contents of a folder in a menu?
Or are you talking about nodes that you click and they are supposed to launch windows explorer and open the folder?
What happens when you click them?
Have you looked at the node from the LBC config, does it show the correct path?

Have you tried restarting LBC?

Try the new region selection in the latest beta (4.28) -- hopefully it's even smoother.

Official Announcements / Our Favorite Websites: OSNews

« Last post by mouser on February 27, 2018, 02:16 AM »

When I look back at the blog items I post linking to interesting developer essays and articles, many of them are originally from osnews.com.  OSNews is a frequently updated blog that posts lots of small items every day.  While nominally about operating systems, they really cover a much broader domain including websites and technology companies.  They do an outstanding job of bringing early attention to interesting technology essays that I don't see mentioned elsewhere.

Developer's Corner / Article: 20 months tracking down an elusive bug in code

« Last post by mouser on February 27, 2018, 12:44 AM »

Nice article on tracking down an elusive unpredictable problem that was related to an operating system bug.

Flaky failures are the worst. In this particular investigation, which spanned twenty months, we suspected hardware failure, compiler bugs, linker bugs, and other possibilities. Jumping too quickly to blaming hardware or build tools is a classic mistake, but in this case the mistake was that we weren’t thinking big enough. Yes, there was a linker bug, but we were also lucky enough to have hit a Windows kernel bug which is triggered by linkers!

Screenshot Captor / Re: LATEST VERSION INFO THREAD - ScreenshotCaptor - v4.27.3 - Feb 24, 2018

« Last post by mouser on February 26, 2018, 10:00 PM »

I suppose that mouser simply forgot to update the version information on Screenshot Captor page, which still shows version 4.27.3.

Yeah what happened was someone found a bug in the new version very soon after I had posted the update.  It wasn't a show stopper but was something that I wanted to fix quickly. I was hesitant to post a new update version that would make people have to re-download a new version right after they just downloaded the last one.  I have updated the web page but not the update checker.

UrlSnooper / Re: Auto Network Adapter Detector Failed

« Last post by mouser on February 26, 2018, 09:58 PM »

I will try to look into better scanning of encrypted packets.

UrlSnooper / Re: Auto Network Adapter Detector Failed

« Last post by mouser on February 26, 2018, 09:46 PM »

The Auto-detect feature simply opens a web page and checks for some text it expects to see there.

From your screenshot I can see that you've changed the web page it opens, so it's probably the case that it's not finding the text you've told it to expect.

But the main thing is this -- the auto detect adapter is not a feature you need! Once you have correctly set the adapter and can see packets being scanned -- just turn off auto-adapter detection and don't worry about it anymore.

Now as for playing a video on youtube and not seeing good results, this could be for any number of reasons.. In the modern day there are lots of streams that have no simple streaming media links that url snooper can detect, and https encrypted traffic can hide streaming media urls.

I don't see any reason to be so harsh on them -- it's a short little review with one confusing sentence.

It's time to make this happen..  I need some help.. Could I beg someone try to make a list of all new software (updates and new) released by dc people in 2017?  I think with that list we can divide some funding among those coders.

UrlSnooper / Re: Auto Network Adapter Detector Failed

« Last post by mouser on February 26, 2018, 01:45 AM »

First thing to do is see if it can detect packets even though the auto detection failed.. Just start it sniffing and browse the internet and see if the statusbar shows that packets are being parsed and counted.
