Find And Run Robot / Re: Do any of you customize/alter the Aliases that come with FARR?

« Last post by jgpaiva on March 24, 2007, 06:33 PM »

I never change the default aliases.
I also think that it'd be overkill to add such an option. It'd only confuse people and add clutter.
On the other hand, you might make the default alias "protected", so that they can only be changed by the farr update.

Still, i think that the best option is to keep things as they are right now.

I'm almost sure there are some recomendations for this kind of software here in the forum...

cthorpe: you don't select both, only strech (on XPpro).
I must say you got some odd effects, it shouldn't look like that. Are you sure you're using a bitmap with only 4 pixels?
You could try the ones edvard posted on the above post.

Find And Run Robot / Re: Latest FARR v2.00.59 ALPHA PREVIEW Release - MARCH 14, 2007

« Last post by jgpaiva on March 22, 2007, 03:46 AM »

FARR can't find items in when it is in a folder that contain a folder of the same name. If I am in c:\devel and there is a c:\devel\devel\, I won't be able to see and select anything.

i'm having a hard time reproducing this -- it seems to work ok and as expected for me.

-mouser (March 21, 2007, 09:08 PM)

Yes, i also can't reproduce.

Post New Requests Here / Re: IDEA: drag window to edge automatically resizes it

« Last post by jgpaiva on March 17, 2007, 08:41 PM »

This program is brilliant! Any chance we can get different templates on different monitors? My secondary is widescreen and my primary is 4:3! I switch manually when positioning windows at the moment, it's a bit kludgy...

-supersocialist (March 17, 2007, 04:37 PM)

Well... Templates can be custom-made, so, yes.
I know the help file isn't much of a "help" and is quite confusing, but it (tries to) explains how to do it.
Or you could just post here which 2 grid you'd like to join and (if it wouldn't take much time), i could do the one you want.

DC Website Help and Extras / Re: How to linkifice an image?

« Last post by jgpaiva on March 14, 2007, 11:05 AM »

Here's the code you used:

[Select]

[url=http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/windowsvista/aa904955.aspx][attachthumb=1][/attachthumb][/url]

It should be

[Select]

[url=http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/windowsvista/aa904955.aspx][attachthumb=1][/attachthumb][/url]

The only difference is the 1 after attachthumb=, so that the first image attached will appear there.

General Software Discussion / Re: Got my Ubuntu disk,got two hard drives,can i dual boot off of a seperate drive?

« Last post by jgpaiva on March 14, 2007, 07:13 AM »

I have been using xp and ubuntu for a few years now, and it works great.
Current version of ubuntu automatically installs and configures grub for windows and ubuntu. (notice that you need to have both disks connected during install).
The only problem i've found is that sometimes ubuntu (magically) changes the grub.conf file which makes grub's configuration go away. I would definitelly recomend you to backup that file.

« Last post by jgpaiva on March 14, 2007, 07:08 AM »

Sure, that's easy. Only notice that it'll only work by the name of the process. It cannot detect if it's a specific file under a specific path.
It works in the exact same way as the other one, only that instead of passing it the path to the file, you pass it the name of the executable.

Have you tried pressing CTRL+ALT together instead of AltGR? It produces the same output and it might just work...

-Ruffnekk (March 13, 2007, 02:25 PM)

No success
Unless i can find another alternate protocol or fix the damn vncserver, there's no solution

General Software Discussion / Re: Good VNC viewer / alternative?

« Last post by jgpaiva on March 13, 2007, 02:10 PM »

Yes, app, i've already tried tightvnc. (and a bunch of others )
Then, i made some research and found out that the problem is known and is related to ubuntu's default vnc server not supporting these chars.

The solution for the problem was installing another vnc server on linux, which, although looks like a simple task, took me all the afternoon to not get anything. As usual, linux let me down.

In the meanwhile, i leave this question here and at the ubuntuforums for the linux-savy out there that might be able to point me in the right direction.

BTW: i followed  this guide and got the same problem mentioned in the replies.

General Software Discussion / Good VNC viewer / alternative?

« Last post by jgpaiva on March 13, 2007, 11:07 AM »

I'm looking for a way to connect to my new linux box from my windows laptop.
Currently i'm doing it through VNC and it works quite well but has a huge problem. I cannot send any character that is formed with altgr ( {[]}@€ for example). This is a giant issue, as i intend to use that box for programming.
I'm wondering if this is related to the client i'm using (urltra vnc).

This means i need a new client or a new protocol.

I've already tried RealVNC and it also has the same problem.
Any suggestions?

I haven't figured out how to get GridMove to work on my second monitor. Is there something I am missing?

-afm (March 08, 2007, 01:07 AM)

I have the exact same setup and have no problem. I thing what is happening is that you're launching GridMove before having both monitors active. Just relaunch it after both the monitors are on and there should be no problem.
