Screenshot Captor / Re: Custom Date Format not work

« Last post by mouser on November 15, 2021, 03:40 AM »

See my answer here: https://www.donation...ex.php?topic=51868.0
The trick is to also use "%customdate%" in your file name template.

Screenshot Captor / Re: How to change the format of the date "Custom Date Format": 10.30.2021>2021.10.30

« Last post by mouser on November 15, 2021, 01:33 AM »

The confusing trick is that it's a two-part process to use a custom date:

• First you configure your custom date field as you have
• And then you use %customdate% in your file name template

So at the top of the File Naming tab, instead of the default of "Screenshot - %datetime%" use something like "Screenshot - %customdate%"

Does that help?

Living Room / Re: Youtube will hide dislike counts under all videos

« Last post by mouser on November 13, 2021, 04:35 PM »

At first I didn't give it a second thought, but I think you have a good point that I can't see why they didn't simply add it to the options available to the owner of the channel.
I'm sure there are some good reasons to hide it at least some of the time -- like if it encourages people to be trolls and doesn't serve a useful function -- but I haven't seen any discussion of these reasons, nor would I be inclined to believe the explanations.  Whatever the real reasoning is for removing them, you can bet that they have everything to do with the profitability of YouTube and very little to do with making things better for the viewer, except to the extent that these things happen to overlap.

LaunchBar Commander / Re: Two Launch Bars - one instance in Task Manager

« Last post by mouser on November 05, 2021, 06:55 AM »

In LaunchBarCommander you can have multiple bars/files open at the same time.  Just go to the LaunchBarCommander options and close one of them.

Developer's Corner / Re: 'Trojan Source' bug

« Last post by mouser on November 03, 2021, 07:46 AM »

the weakness involves Unicode’s bi-directional or “Bidi” algorithm, which handles displaying text that includes mixed scripts with different display orders, such as Arabic — which is read right to left — and English (left to right).

It seems like one fix might be just detect when a file mixes different display orders and block this.. but maybe im missing the fact that sometimes this has a real use case..

My plan is to open source them all for NANY 2022.

I will have to decide before then if these videos are good enough or if it's worth the time and effort to remake them.

Interesting.. but hard to know how serious it really is.. It seems to be suggesting that the main risk would be malicious comments in an open source repository.. But it seems like it should be pretty easy to detect and block going forward..

403 probably means the server is temporarily getting too many requests from your ip too fast -- and just temporarily blocked you --  ive noticed this happening to me on some threads with a lot of images -- i need to fix the server settings so it's not so sensitive.

LaunchBar Commander / Re: Show us your LaunchBar Commander Screenshots

« Last post by mouser on October 26, 2021, 10:18 PM »

That screenshot is a little confusing, and LBC can have a steep initial learning curve because of a few strange features.  Because it lets you have multiple launchbar "files" open at the same time, you are finding it wanting you to start with first adding a FILE.  so try creating a new launchbar file or OPENING the sample one.  Start from there.  with a file open you can create new nodes.

Google is not happy that I have not told them the target audience age so it removed all my apps.. Going through them now to make sure no kid accidentally downloads an app to make checklists and resubmitting so the google god's will deem them worthy.

Try unchecking that Automatically scale box.
And then restart LBC.

It's possible that the display settings on your windows system are set to be > 100% dpi.
You could try changing that if ALL of your app windows/text seem too big.

But you could also try these options in the MAIN root options tab of LBC:

Screenshot Captor / Re: May be a bug?

« Last post by mouser on October 24, 2021, 06:27 AM »

I think the problem may have been related to trying to capture a MENU.  That's could be the issue.  There are 2 problems:
1. The hotkey for active capture window can cause menu to close.
2. If SC tries to do it's trick to capture transparent/rounded windows it can get confused.
You can solve #2 by turning off the option to try to capture transparent windows.
You can solve #1 by changing hotkey.

That's pretty strange.. that error should only be given when the entire contents of the active window are the same color..
You can disable the option to check for that -- it might be interesting to see what the resulting capture would look like:

N.A.N.Y. 2020 / Re: NANY 2020 Release - Android App - DiscussionList

« Last post by mouser on October 21, 2021, 02:38 PM »

The new features I've added are designed for those who want to use DiscussionList as a kind of teleprompter device, cycling through full page slides using a foot pedal.  I have used it for YouTube discussions.  By letting you easily rearrange the order of items, and use checkboxes to quickly enable and disable slides to be used in the presentation list, it makes it easy to walk through bullet list of items that you reuse for multiple presentations.  If you are just doing a one-off presentation I would recommend using Google Sheets instead, but for repeat presentations that use a subset of topics/slides, this may be useful.

Updated for the first time in a year v1.13:

• View mode now shows bulk checkbox option.
• When checkboxes are visible, by default only those checked items will be shown in slideview mode.
• Support for external keyboard (footpad) to control slide presentation (advance and previous).
