Find And Run Robot / Re: Latest FARR Release v2.107.04 beta - Sep 23, 2012

The website says:  Download v2.99.01
But the program about says:  v2.99.02

nothing to worry about, just me distinguishing between insignificant builds.

Hm, maybe it's time to teach the webpage to read the current versioninfo from version.xml? There have been more reports of this 'issue'.

I have done some stuff involving Outlook inbox content manipulation (from a .NET app), like moving messages to other folders etc., and I assume it should be as easy to create new messages.
But what happens (or: do you want to happen) if the message gets marked 'read'; do you manually mark it 'un-read', or do you wait for the next (new) message to appear?

I'm currently working on a different spare-time project, so this would probably end up on the todo list, if I take the challenge.
OTOH, I could turn this into a NANY2012 project, if that timespan is agreeable with you?

Oh, and the .NET/Outlook link would limit it to be an Outlook-only solution, so no Thunderbird or other compatibility.

Fully agree on that, especially if there's a stand-alone and a FARR integrated solution available. :up: :up:

I (that's me, indeed ;)) still fail to understand what an e-mail in your inbox offers over a (simple) repeated reminder of an appointment (Calender/Agenda-item with alarm enabled). If that scheme works for you with Google Calendar, why wouldn't it for your locally installed Outlook? (Unless you meant you have Outlook Express, that doesn't offer an Agenda, instead of the full-blown MS-Office Outlook...)

Not sure how much you are into software installation and configuration, but would the single server installation manual be a starting point to get it going? It would give you the benefit of knowing what it's doing, and why, so you're not dependent of some external 'source' for maintenance and support, with probably limited availability.
If you're talking about running a VBox virtual, you already seem to know what you are talking about 8)

What software of CarveWright are you currently using, Project Designer or Pattern Editor?

And if you could attach (or PM) a few sample files of both types (preferably zipped together), that would make it a bit easier to investigate.

Something a bit similar was discussed in this thread, maybe it is of help?

OTOH, I never have any video playing in my face without me knowing, as I'm using ABP (Ad Block Plus) and NoScript add-ins, and keep Youtube and similar sites blocked until I want to play a video, maybe that's good enough for you?

the logical place for the MIMO is in the middle of my keyboard
-cranioscopical (September 15, 2011, 06:13 PM)

Yeah that feels right, I've been thinking of using ducktape to firmly attach the mimo to my keyboard so if I move that around, the mimo moves with it, and I always have it within hands-reach. I expect it to get a bit clunky though.

-kalos (September 15, 2011, 02:31 PM)
That's exactly what the Calendar or Agenda (not sure what it's called in your language and version of Outlook) does: Remind you of the appointments you have. It does handle repeating appointments very easy, just remember to start up Outlook every time you login to your Windows :)

In the last NANY 2011 there was a project TaskDaddy, that can quickly and easily create Tasks in your Outlook, maybe that's already enough for you?

Either a calendar or an agenda, popping up your appointments in the correct time on the correct day?

Seeing the advertisements on their site, it looks like they are used a lot with the Digital school-boards lots of school are already or starting to use, providing the combination of projector display and touch- or hand-pointer- input.

MIMO is monitor 3 and is somehow paired with monitor 1, thus any touch on the MIMO reults in 'tablet' input to monitor 1.
-cranioscopical (September 15, 2011, 10:53 AM)
Oh, yeah, the driver does have the quirk of setting the wrong default monitor as the touch-related monitor, you'll have to correct that like this:
Screenshot - 15-09-2011 , 20_24_20.png


The circled label-like control is actually a button that lets you select the monitor (3) that has the touch-capability.
Not sure if I also had to correct that with the original drivers, but seeing it misbehave in this version, I guess I did.

Is anyone using the mimo with win7 64 bit? Just wondering if that's going to be a problem when I move from 32 bit.

Yup, works just very fine over here :D

I have to connect the mimo after everything else has finished loading in
-nudone (September 14, 2011, 02:17 PM)
Haven't seen that behavior here, but I do notice the horrendous flashing of the screen when connecting the MIMO to a running system, because of the DisplayLink drivers 'configuring stuff the right way'. If I leave the MIMO connected I don't see the flickering, not even during system startup or login. The systems I have used it on so far are rather high-end, considering current state of hardware, and Win7.
I assume you got the latest drivers from the MIMO & DisplayLink site?

Just took another swing at it and now I'm replying to you from the MIMO screen.

Glad you rebooted just often enough to get it right :D

Finished Programs / Release: On Screen Button That Sends Keyboard Commands: WinButtons 3.4.2.3
« Last post by Ath on September 13, 2011, 03:45 PM »
I've been doing some more testing, mostly of WinButtonEdit as it had a few annoyances. Most of that is fixed now (what's not fixed, I didn't see or find ;)) And not unimportant, I added the missing .dcupdate files, for dcuhelper :-[
Details are in the WinButtonEdit.readme.txt file, and WinButtons.au3 source.

I received a template from nudone, to be used with the touch-screen, and I modified and expanded it with some numkeypad samples (also in the zipfile).
Screenshots are in the release message.

Here's an update release of:
and

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

Any feedback is still welcome, as usual :)
