I think we ought to make this default behaviour.  No need for a checkbox.  I'll just put a note in the help tab that the trend indicator will be more accurate after three polls.

I uploaded another build with a taller InputBox.  Let me know if that works better on your computer.  TaoCopier

As to your other questions, yes, they're possible.  However, they're delving into what I call "subjective coding" where the choices you're making are no problem at all for a human to decide but they're really inelegant to try and code for.  Does that make sense at all?  If not, I apologise; it's sometimes hard to convey this point.   :(

General Software Discussion / Re: Buying cheap Vmware from this site, what do you think?
« Last post by skwire on January 21, 2012, 04:59 AM »
I would not buy from them. The text on that page is copied from vmware site, according to alexa, they have negligible traffic and the domain is registered on Bahamas.

Anyway, as I software author, I will not allow my software to be sold at permanent discount by a unknown web site and I doubt vmware will, but you can always email them.
-vlastimil (January 21, 2012, 04:23 AM)

Agreed.  I steer far clear of sites such as these.  tslim, did you notice the pricing?  Their site states the retail price is $100.00 and the discount price is $199.00 but you can buy it for $119.00.  WTF?   :huh:

Many thanks to LEDAdd1ct for working closely with me on this.  There are still a few bits and bobs to add but I think it's ready for a public release.  Granted, the audience for this will be limited to folks with Sensatronics sensor units and, after checking prices on their website, they are not cheap.  I think the app turned out well.  Here are some screenshots:

Here's a quick-n-dirty AutoHotkey hotkey that should do what you want.  Copy a single file or folder to the clipboard and then press Win+V, enter the number of copies you want and it should make them.  Works with a single file or a single folder only and has some basic sanity checking built-in to check this.

Code: Autohotkey [Select]
  1. #v::
  2. {
  3.     myPath := Clipboard
  4.     ; Check for existence of multiple items.  Kick out if found.
  5.     Loop, Parse, myPath, `n, `r
  6.     {
  7.         If ( A_LoopField != "" )
  8.         {
  9.             If ( A_Index > 1 )
  10.             {
  11.                 MsgBox, 16, Error, Multiple files selected!`n`nThis hotkey is designed for use with only one file or folder selected.
  12.                 Return
  13.             }
  14.         }
  15.     }
  16.    
  17.     ; Check path for validity.
  18.     If ! FileExist( myPath )
  19.     {
  20.         MsgBox, 16, Error, Current clipboard contents either:`n1) Do not exist anymore or`n2) Are not a file/folder path
  21.         Return
  22.     }
  23.    
  24.     ; Get number of copies to make from the user.
  25.     InputBox, numCopies, Number of copies, Enter number of copies to make:, , , 110
  26.  
  27.     If ! ( ErrorLevel ) ; User did not cancel.  Proceed.
  28.     {
  29.         SplitPath, myPath, OutFileName, OutDir, OutExtension, OutNameNoExt, OutDrive
  30.         Loop, % numCopies
  31.         {
  32.             ; Check if destination file/folder exists.  If so, create a unique name for it to avoid collisions.
  33.             Loop
  34.             {
  35.                 If FileExist( OutDir . "\" . OutFileName )
  36.                 {
  37.                     OutFileName := OutNameNoExt . A_Index . ( ( InStr( FileExist( myPath ), "D" ) ) ? ( "" ) : ( "." . OutExtension ) )
  38.                 }
  39.                 Else
  40.                 {
  41.                     Break
  42.                 }
  43.             }
  44.             If ( InStr( FileExist( myPath ), "D" ) ) ; myPath is a folder.
  45.             {
  46.                 FileCopyDir, % myPath, % OutDir . "\" . OutFileName
  47.             }
  48.             Else ; myPath is a file.
  49.             {
  50.                 FileCopy, % myPath, % OutDir . "\" . OutFileName
  51.             }
  52.         }
  53.     }
  54. }
  55. Return

A great little programme! Thanks for providing it!
-Leif (January 19, 2012, 09:30 AM)

You're welcome.   :)  I'm glad you find it useful.

The only tiny thing that annoyed me was when I had to use Arrow down to increase the date. But no big deal!
-Leif (January 19, 2012, 09:30 AM)

Hehehe...sorry about that.  That's because of my laziness and decision to use a DropDownList control.   :-[

It would also be nice to have a localized version of it. Any chance of that?
-Leif (January 19, 2012, 09:30 AM)

Very doubtful.  AutoHotkey doesn't offer any sort of automatic localisation tools.  In other words, it would be a lot of work since it would all have to be handled manually.

Are you only ever selecting one file or one folder when you do this?  If so, writing something like this is infinitely easier.

Thanks.  Stuff like this is easy in AHK.  However, creating a GUI for something like this would be much more work than the actual guts of the code.  I hope the original poster can get some use of that framework; I tried to make it logical and easy to follow.

Are there a program that can create custom context menus for any program, that can send command to the program.
-bgjensen (January 10, 2012, 03:05 PM)

I don't know of any but here's a basic AutoHotkey framework that you can extend:

Code: Autohotkey [Select]
  2.  
  3. ; Create dummy menu so we can delete it and
  4. ; create the context-sensitive one later.
  5. Menu, cMenu, Add, Dummy, Dummy
  6. Dummy: ; Dummy label
  7. Return
  8.  
  9. Return ; End of auto-execute section.
  10.  
  11.  
  12. #IfWinActive, Firefox
  13. {
  14.     #v:: ; Win+v hotkey.
  15.     {
  16.         ; Delete current menu.
  17.         Menu, cMenu, Delete
  18.         ; Build app-specific menu.
  19.         Menu, cMenu, Add, Show downloads, menuFirefox
  20.         Menu, cMenu, Add, Organize bookmarks, menuFirefox        
  21.         ; Show the menu at the mouse pointer.
  22.         Menu, cMenu, Show
  23.     }
  24.     Return
  25. }
  27.  
  28.  
  29. #IfWinActive, Notepad
  30. {
  31.     #v:: ; Win+v hotkey.
  32.     {
  33.         ; Delete current menu.
  34.         Menu, cMenu, Delete
  35.         ; Build app-specific menu.
  36.         Menu, cMenu, Add, Find, menuNotepad
  37.         Menu, cMenu, Add, Select all, menuNotepad        
  38.         ; Show the menu at the mouse pointer.
  39.         Menu, cMenu, Show
  40.     }
  41.     Return
  42. }
  44.  
  45.  
  46. menuFirefox:
  47. {
  48.     If ( A_ThisMenuItem = "Show downloads" )
  49.     {
  50.         SendInput, ^j
  51.     }
  52.     Else If ( A_ThisMenuItem = "Organize bookmarks" )
  53.     {

  67.     {

  69.     }
  70. }
  71. Return
