Announce Your Software/Service/Product / Re: WinSendkeys: Latest version thread. Version 3.2.1, released 2011-10-01

which finds WinSendKeys in the sub-folder but not the .stro
-cranioscopical (October 01, 2011, 12:46 PM)
Ah, yes, the -send command of WB doesn't change directory to the WinSendKeys (WSK) folder, and by specifying just a filename without path, WSK expects the file to be in the current directory, and that is the WB directory as you already found out.

I could change that, but I'm not sure it would make you any happier ;D

General Software Discussion / Re: Pricing Software - Some Considerations and Techniques

“Higher prices don’t just talk,” Beckwith insists. “They tempt.” My 25+ years of marketing experience in the software industry confirms this belief. In the software industry, most developers will tell you that their Pro version outsells their Standard version.
-Renegade (October 01, 2011, 11:33 AM)

Isn't that because the Pro version usually has some crucial feature desired by 100% and bought by ~60% of all users :-\

Defining a mouse-gesture to close a tab should also be fairly easy, if it's not pre-defined.
-Ath (October 01, 2011, 11:42 AM)

When browsing through the help I found this default mouse gesture:
Close tab   hold right button, move down then right
Just tested it with Opera 11.51, and it worked like a charm :D

Also tried in FF (7.0.1) with FireGestures add-in, and it has the same gesture doing that action :up:

« Last post by Ath on October 01, 2011, 11:42 AM »
IMHO, using the close button on the Tab is more intuitive then selecting a Close Tab entry from the context menu. But I removed all instances of Opera from my system, because I was never using them, so I can't even check if that button is there :o

Defining a mouse-gesture to close a tab should also be fairly easy, if it's not pre-defined.

I've added some small changes to WinSendKeys, so the -v commandline parameter can be set from the (optional) ini file, and updated the documentation with all settings that can be configured in the ini file.

Release is available at the first message in this thread, so, tada:

@Chris and all interested,

I've added some scripting facilities to the [-f strokesfile] feature, so it's now technically possible  to implement your request.
Using such script (an example is included) you can:
- Wait for a window (or title, or exename) to open (--winwait <windowname> [timeout])
- Wait for a window (idem) to close, both with a timeout (--winclose <windowname> [timeout])
- On timeout of the above, either quit or goto a labeled line in the script (--error quit and --error goto <label>)
- Jump to a specific label in the script (--goto <label>)
- Call a subroutine with optional parameters (--gosub <label> [parameter text])
- Return from the subroutine (--return)
- Quit the script (--quit)
- Display a message with optional timeout and parameters support (--msg [timeout,]message text [$params$])

But the difficult part of your request is to interact with the user, Windows and it's applications to determine what to send when and where, and what to wait for, to get the desired 'workflow'.
At least the techy-geek baseline is here :)

Release is available at the first message in this thread, so, tada:

Find And Run Robot / Re: Filenames with a leading dot?
« Last post by Ath on September 30, 2011, 01:25 PM »
It's a lot of Java based, multi-platform, software that uses these 'prefixes' for configuration files, that are hidden by default on *nix OS's. Maven is the one that comes to mind immediately; have a look in your C:\Users\<username> directory. Being a developer, you'll likely find a few .-prefixed files there. And others create even .-prefixed directories holding even more user-specific stuff, I found .netbeans, .eclipse, .virtualbox, .google, to name just a few.

General consensus is to not use them for common user-files. And Windows Explorer really hates them anyway.

General Software Discussion / Re: Anyone Know of a Multi-Monitor Simulator for Software Testing?
« Last post by Ath on September 27, 2011, 03:37 PM »
I just set up a VirtualBox (4.1.2 with extension pack) with Windows 7 x64 and configured 4 monitors. The Windows Update was crap, as usual on a pre-SP1 install, but I've got 4 screens that I can put stuff on.

Specialties:
  • Choose ICH9 chipset where applicable
  • Set video memory to 128 MB (max)
  • Enabled all video hardware acceleration options available (2D Video and 3D)
  • Installed the VBox Guest extensions stuff (not yet with the 3D drivers, needs safe mode apparently)
  • Enabled the extra monitors, like skwire did

Maybe I'll try to break it by setting up the DisplayLink drivers for the MIMO touch-screen 8)

Have you configured WinSendKeys? The path is probably different.
-nudone (September 27, 2011, 02:04 AM)
Yes, I managed to get the right path. That's one out of ten so far, I believe.
Nice job on those templates  :Thmbsup:
-cranioscopical (September 27, 2011, 02:18 AM)

Simplest would be to *only* configure the path to WinSendKeys in WinButtons.wbuc (or WinButtons.ini if you have only that), as all other templates fall back to the setting stored there. And yes, that's a feature 8)

Did some work on the Borderless button with split captions. They can be forcibly wrapped using a @LF@ macro at the desired position(s). That's another feature request of nudone fulfilled  8)

Next update will be for WBE getting a better configuration of all Image parameters (7 comma separated values is a bit cumbersome)

Here's an update release of:

Download available from the release message, linking to my DCMembers pages.

Updates can be downloaded also from the WinButtonEdit File/Check for updates option, using DCUpdater when installed.

I'll also be doing more testing in the next couple of days.

Any feedback is still welcome, as usual :)

Hm, any good system that stores a password, only stores a hash of it, that can't be reverted, just the calculation repeated with the correct password delivering the same hash.
So it would be nearly impossible to revert that, without a brute force attack, and even that could take from hours to more than a lifetime :o
