Anybody tried ActiveState's Python IDE?

That would be more like throwing into the tub: the baby, the bathwater, some soap, some rubber duckies, a teddy bear and a LEGO setROTFLOL @ that one.-tranglos (October 27, 2008, 03:54 PM)
I went back to Delphi-tranglos (October 27, 2008, 03:54 PM)
If I can type objectinstance - dot - Ctrl+Space and have a list of methods and their signatures, I'm happy, and I can try things out in no time and actually get results.-tranglos (October 27, 2008, 03:54 PM)
A couple of you noted pydev, so I looked a little deeper there. It bothered me a little that it's an extension to Eclipse. That makes it kinda heavy-weight, and it seems to be a second-class citizen there; the environment certainly isn't designed for the peculiarities of python.-CWuestefeld (October 27, 2008, 05:28 AM)
However, once we get to the .Net 1.1 platform, C# and VB are almost equivalent. I'm pretty sure that you could port from one to the other just using some clever regular expression substitutions. So there's no reason you can't get on board with C# as easily as with VB.Net.-CWuestefeld (October 22, 2008, 03:54 PM)
P.S. May I inquire as to reason for your long absence? We all have enough to deal with in our lives without adding in anything 'extra', I hope everything is OK. No need to respond if I'm out of line to ask. --appy-appyface (October 24, 2008, 06:08 AM)
Right-click and choose "Change Log Text", then just click "cancel" (as in, "nevermind"). Unfortunately the log text is removed.Issue # 31. Thanks for spotting & reporting that.-appyface (August 31, 2008, 07:27 AM)
Remember the last text so I can just click "OK" to use it again.-appyface (August 31, 2008, 07:27 AM)
Also offer "Cancel" to abort creating a log entry (but don't lose the last text)-appyface (August 31, 2008, 07:27 AM)

My end goal is to create after-the-fact appointment blocks on my Outlook/exchange calendar. My Outlook calendar serves as a record for my activities, it is a PITA to set up appointments directly on the calendar. So I currently keep a spreadsheet of dates and text and already have a little macro that creates appointment import files in Outlook calendar import format (*.vcs).-appyface (August 31, 2008, 07:27 AM)
another idea...
I record streamed music, and later save selections from the file to individual mp3 files. At the moment if I hear a track I like I stop what I'm doing and jot down the time into the recording, the musician/track title, then the end time.
I could well use Click2Logit to do this, but it would involve a bit of maths(time on clock-time recording started). If I could set Click2Logit to use an elapsed time, it would be perfect.
I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of people have need to note something according to elapsed time.

Ideas for expansion of this cool, simple concept:
> New config dialogue in right-click menu: "Config" opens. Writes to local .ini or .cfg (arbitrary extension type, who cares) when config menu closed (in case of system failure) & at shutdown. This local file config is for easy backup/portability.-bcbigb (May 05, 2008, 02:00 AM)
> Default left click: Opens tiny dialogue where you can enter as much text as you want. Enter key would close the dialogue and write it out to the file.-bcbigb (May 05, 2008, 02:00 AM)
This would also necessitate having a different format that would allow you to display the text indented without actually writing that to the text (in case it needed to be recopied/pasted later). Think about the typical IM log viewer, with each person's msg indented after their name --> html like pidgin's logs perhaps?-bcbigb (May 05, 2008, 02:00 AM)
> Config: Drop down menu -> Allows the choice of behavior for left-click (orig/my sugg/???)-bcbigb (May 05, 2008, 02:00 AM)
> Perhaps a hybrid approach, with single-line/.txt behavior or multi-line/.html behavior-bcbigb (May 05, 2008, 02:00 AM)
> Config: Option to define where to write log file to.-bcbigb (May 05, 2008, 02:00 AM)
Possibly include ability to use environment vars (http://vlaurie.com/c...cles/environment.htm)-bcbigb (May 05, 2008, 02:00 AM)
& ability to write to UNC path names (i.e. \\server1\c\logs\).-bcbigb (May 05, 2008, 02:00 AM)
Also enable single-log behavior or multi-log behavior (based on definable file name parameters, like %date% and %time% etc).-bcbigb (May 05, 2008, 02:00 AM)
> Config: Options to change icon clicking behavior by hotkey (i.e. ctrl-lclick or alt-lclick etc)-bcbigb (May 05, 2008, 02:00 AM)
K... that's it for now. I see this as a really neat idea that could grow to be massively adaptable to many different people if implemented in good, tight code (like FARR). And yeah, for me, the point of sweet usability starts with the second suggestion (default left-click change), so I was motivated to write to you by that and the rest just came as I wrote ;-). Good luck. I'll keep up with this and I hope it grows.
