I'm no Excel wizard, but I'm pretty sure you can do what you want with a pivot table.

Good find, MilesAhead.  If it turns out to be as simple as starting and stopping a service, that would be a piece of cake to code.

@ebennetthill: Could you please check your services control panel (Start, Run box, services.msc) list for a Touch Input service of some sort?  I don't have a Win7 tablet so I'm not sure of the exact name you'll be looking for.  Once you've found that, stop the service and check your functionality.  Then start the service again and see if the functionality returns.  Let us know what you find.  Thanks.

Living Room / Re: What's the red thing in the NASA logo?
« Last post by skwire on September 22, 2011, 01:31 PM »
The NASA Insignia (more commonly referred to as the "meatball") reflects the history and tradition of the Agency and is used in all of the Agency's day-to-day communications materials. Designed in 1959 by former NASA employee James Modarelli, the NASA Insignia contains the following elements:

    The sphere represents a planet
    The stars represent space
    The vector represents aeronautics
    The orbit represents space travel
eh...thought it would have been more interesting.

Actually, is there a technical reason not to handle add/delete in the list without resetting the shuffle mode?

Would you accept "coder taking the easy way out" as a technical reason?   :D

Hi Exilas, and welcome to the site.

Shuffle mode should play each song once in a random order.  However, if you add or delete items in the list whilst this mode is playing, it resets.  Perhaps this is what is tripping you up?

Post New Requests Here / Re: PlayTime Extension
« Last post by skwire on September 19, 2011, 10:24 AM »
Hello.  I have a blind friend who is very much into music and who uses PlayTime extensively to assemble tracks into CD-sized collections.  She just loves that "F1 - say total time" feature.
-Miguel.2007 (September 19, 2011, 01:25 AM)

I remember adding that feature hoping she'd get some use out of it.   :D

In the past she used Windows Media Player to the burn these collections to CD.  The latest versions of Media Player have, however, made it very difficult to use for blind people and I was wondering how much of a production it would be to add a "Burn Files to Disc" option to PlayTime.  We would very much appreciate any help.  Mike.
-Miguel.2007 (September 19, 2011, 01:25 AM)

It wouldn't be a five minute affair, I'll say that.  However, since PlayTime can export the list in .m3u format, it would probably be easier to use any of the myriad of burning apps out there that can import the m3u playlist file and burn the tracks to CD format.  I'm sure you're aware, but you can also move the list rows up and down in PlayTime before you export (to give you a custom order).

« Last post by skwire on September 18, 2011, 08:14 PM »
Apologies for the trouble.  The capability has been in there this whole time.  For whatever reason, I haven't linked to the OSD zip.  Extract this to your Volt folder and choose Reload from the tray menu.

http://skwire.dcmemb...ps/volt/Volt-OSD.zip

Just thought I'd mention that I had to use Windows XP Compatibility Mode to get Volt (1.0.1 build 3) to work with Windows 7.
-ander2255 (September 18, 2011, 03:19 PM)

FWIW, on my website I do state it's for Windows XP and below.  Honestly, with all the changes to the sound sub-system in Windows 7, I'm surprised it works at all.  Thanks for testing!   :)

Here's a short, proof-of-concept, screencast of what I had in mind.  It uses a system-wide hook that allows you to match window classes, title, etc and changes a small text window accordingly.  Obviously, the GUI is very basic but, again, this is just a proof-of-concept.

Finished Programs / Re: DONE: Toggle mouse acceleration with a simple program
« Last post by skwire on September 16, 2011, 08:06 AM »
I've never used any sort of mouse acceleration but the settings you're looking for might be found here:

Go to the Control Panel.
Click Ease of Access.
Click Change how your mouse works.
Click Set up Mouse Keys.

There's an acceleration slider in there.  On my Windows 7 VM, it's set directly in the middle.  If that doesn't work, I Googled for "windows 7 mouse acceleration fix" and it came back with a ton of hits so it appears you're not the only person to experience mouse acceleration issues in Windows 7.

All the suggestions regarding Post-It Note apps are forgetting one of the main requests from tomos' original request and that is he wants context-sensitive text (based on which app has focus, I'd assume).  I don't know of any note app that will do that.

@tomos:  Something like this would be rather easy to write as a basic AHK script that you could easily modify and extend to your needs.  I wouldn't want to write a configuration GUI for it, though.  One question, though.  When you say transparency, do you mean full window transparency?  Or, do you mean you only want to see floating text and no other window elements?
