Wow 

Wonderful !!!  Another patented SuperboyAC masterpiece, complete with the chaster of humour at the end.. gotta love it

Self-promotion warning: A major motivation for my writing my clipboard tool (Clipboard Help+Spell) was wanting to add a live search feature

Ruffnek you should absolutely definitely look into some of the free spellcheck libraries and soundex functions as f0dder suggested - that might very well be a very good thing to add to your program..  the idea of calculating scores based on how likely one word is to stand in for another is a good idea.. make your code modular so that its easy to add more functions that could check for various plausible alternatives for a word.

what you are asking for should exist and can exit.  I suspect their are programs like this already, maybe some good free ones.  please do take the time to scour the web for them.  give us a report on what you find.  if there are no good free programs that do this, it's something we should consider writing.

« Last post by mouser on February 14, 2007, 04:22 AM »

ah ok, well that makes life easier and i will try to see if i cant at least make it so you can still use rightalt+# to generate such keys, while left alt+# launches them.

ps.
if anyone is wondering why its been a week since the last farr update it's because im working every day on the new plugin system which will be used in farr and my other programs as well

Activation/License/Language Help / Re: For License-----How to upgrade to enterprise: RemoveIT Pro v4 (Enterprise)

« Last post by mouser on February 14, 2007, 03:46 AM »

looks like an interesting program.

note that this forum and site has nothing to do with illegal licenses - so our best advice on how to upgrade is.. buy it

but if it's a good program perhaps we can try to get a discount for members at some point in the future.

I'd really like to hear suggestions for search tools (or text editors with built in multi-file search) which can do such advanced searching based on phonetics or mispelled words, etc.

Announce Your Software/Service/Product / Re: Maze Craze - Fun 2D game by Wreckedcarzz

« Last post by mouser on February 13, 2007, 08:21 PM »

i recommend trying to find a page on physics in games.  look into acceleration and velocity and friction.  it sounds harder than it is - it's really quite simple and it will give your ball a more natural control.  just my 2 cents.

tanglos the flicker is kind of crazy when displaying the options form i know - ive tried to fix it but the skin engine (vclskin) has some oddities.

mmenfin - ok let's find a solution because that sounds unbearable!
i'm trying to think what the best solution is.. it sounds painful not having an easy \ key on your keyboard that sounds crazy.  when you say altgr+8 is supposed to be the \ character, what does altgr mean? is it just alt key or only RIGHT alt key? at the least i think i should be able to make it so you can disable alt+# key launching and use your alt+8 to put in a \.

« Last post by mouser on February 13, 2007, 07:14 PM »

all but the multi-redbox capture are easy to do and i will add them.

i have a slightly different feature that i think may satisfy your multi-redbox capture needs in a slightly different way.

keep the suggestions coming!

LaunchBar Commander / Re: my 2 cents

« Last post by mouser on February 12, 2007, 11:37 PM »

ah yes - i'll try to fix that.

you'll find that as soon as your dock is filled with more buttons that will stop happening; the code to figure out where the menu should display is a bit stupid and its mistakenly thinking your bar is docked to the left hand side. adding more buttons will stop that.  i'll try to fix it though.
