Post New Requests Here / Re: IDEA: Need a tool to hotkey mouse or keyboard to focus a window

« Last post by anandcoral on December 21, 2017, 02:12 AM »

I use Win+<number> to set focus of the required window.
Obviously I do not run more than 9 programs at a time.

General Software Discussion / Re: save to text or print to file in chrome

« Last post by anandcoral on December 19, 2017, 04:10 AM »

Hi Target,

I use FF for many extension whose alternatives I can not find in Chrome and I can not browse without those extensions.
Anyway I searched for any text file in Chrome and when I pressed Ctrl+S to save, Chrome gave option to save as text file, see image.

save a web page as text (it's actually plain txt, not HTML) or print it to a (txt) file?

-Target (December 19, 2017, 12:46 AM)

So, if it is a txt file, it will save without ant html markup. But you may get unix coded text instead of dos due to where its server.

DC Website Help and Extras / Re: Official New DC Members Pages Thread

« Last post by anandcoral on December 13, 2017, 05:40 AM »

Also: As part of the new DC, I wonder if it's not time to revive our old idea of having some regular columnists who write weekly or twice weekly blogs on some area of the software/technology scene.  Anyone feel like they might be interested in such a thing?

-mouser (December 13, 2017, 04:42 AM)

This is a very good idea. I have noted that some members are now posting very long messages and they can write them as blogs in DC. Also members who have retired (lucky guys) from day to day coding can put some tips and memories for us to have a smile in this day to day hectic schedules. My two cents.

Our forum's base color is blue.
I suggest to change brown to deep blue or something like it to match with our forums color theme.
The fonts look OK now.

I agree with Ath. The quoted text is more highlighted now than the actual message text.
I think quoted text should be subtle than the message text.

Hi dantheman, happy to hear your problem is solved. I was thinking querying a base table with rules for different sheets, will solve your case but it will be of different approach. Any way let us know your solution.

Less than 2 more months until the NANY 2018 deadline!!!
This is typically the time when people start coding seriously.

I'll remind everyone that we will have at least $1000 to give away this year to participants, and that we need an alternate mug design.  Please help us spread the word!

I don't understand what you mean by "using Everything".
Can you explain?

-hugo nabais (September 28, 2017, 04:24 AM)

He means this http://filehippo.com...download_everything/, I think.

I am using Everything. What's the difference ?

-Contro (September 26, 2017, 03:59 AM)

Everything uses indexing, CSearcher non-indexing, I think.
