Subject: Re: Question for you or other Attrition members

: Wow, I feel dumb now. I honestly cannot rember if there were pigeons on
: campus or not. A lot of crazy squirrels, but I can't remember pigeons.
: Just for my own edification, why do you need to know that? I'll find out
: for you.

Hey, squirrels work fine. First, let's be clear. You are soliciting me to
break the law and hack into a computer across state lines. That is a
federal offense and multiple felonies. Obviously I can't trust anyone and
everyone that mails such a request, you might be an FBI agent, right?

So, I need three things to make this happen:

1. A picture of a squirrel or pigeon on your campus. One close-up, one
with background that shows buildings, a sign, or something to indicate you
are standing on the campus.

2. The information I mentioned so I can find the records once I get into
the database.

3. Some idea of what I get for all my trouble.

Yes, this functionality is on purpose when you create your OWN custom node caption,
but what lanux is pointing out is that it is happening also when LBC displays the list of filenames in a directory, which is a definite no-no.

The game has a nasty bug whereby a tower sometimes randomly disappears when you build a new one.

that's not a bug, that's hyper-realistic simulation of termites infiltrating your tower.

« Last post by mouser on December 21, 2006, 11:20 PM »
farah9,

what version do you have installed, and can you remember what version last worked (and was it on same computer)?
and have you tried rebooting since installing?

the latest beta release of url snooper uses a new release of the winpcap sniffing engine so it may be not be working perfectly on all systems..

Find And Run Robot / Re: FARR v2.00.01 ALPHA PREVIEW Release

thanks for the great suggestions JennyB, i will implement/fix.
28370
The accessibility contest has not had much participation it seems, just around 5 entries!  Hopefully it will pick up a little at the end.
28371
ill update the text to be clearer; the only requirement is that it be playable by someone who CANT see.
it's fine if it has visuals for those that can.

so this is fine:
My app will be perfectly usable by sightless participants, but it has enhancements that should make it usuable by folks that can see.

Find And Run Robot / Re: FARR v2.00.01 ALPHA PREVIEW Release
« Last post by mouser on December 21, 2006, 10:26 PM »
\\ has to be at end to mean only show folders
if its in the middle it means match any intervening folder (in other words a\\c will match path a\b\c but not a\b1\b2\c)

ok im not sure i can make enter copy path ill have to think about it, BUT
at the least i can let you configure copy path as one of the actions available in options to associate with ctrl+# or alt+ctrl+#, etc.

Find And Run Robot / Re: FARR v2.00.01 ALPHA PREVIEW Release
« Last post by mouser on December 21, 2006, 09:59 PM »
thanks myst - i think i have corrected that and we shall see in the next alpha release - thanks.

an option to show folders only, without the files, opposite of the period (.) command at the end of the path.
lanux, you can use \\ at end of typing to show folders only, as you ask.


in case of folders, pressing of 'enter' only copies the path. (as an additional option).
can you explain more?

and for clearing-up something, if \\ is for 1st level sub-folders then must i use \\\ for 2nd level sub-folders and so on, or can i just use \*\ for subsequent folders?

both should work.

Activation/License/Language Help / Re: Can't get past the nagware for Launchbar Comm
« Last post by mouser on December 21, 2006, 09:56 PM »
No problem at all - glad it got sorted out.
Now that i think about it, it seems crazy that the pop-up reminder thing doesnt have a link you can click to enter the license!  Clearly that needs improving, so thanks for the reminder.

ps.
When you got your email license you also got a link to click to activate your forum membership to full supporting member - remember to activate that when you get a chance :)
