Clipboard Help+Spell / Re: Undesirable interaction between CHS and Open Office
« Last post by mouser on November 05, 2017, 02:57 AM »
I do see in CHS code to work around the open office bug -- it looks for the process soffice.exe or soffice.bin.

Is it possible that your open office has a different exe filename and that's why it's failing?  Can you check your process name for your open office?

Clipboard Help+Spell / Re: Undesirable interaction between CHS and Open Office

Thanks for the report, sosimple.

I have a distinct memory of this problem with Open Office at some point -- I just can't remember what the fix was.  I wonder why it is happening again..

Here are some threads:
https://www.donation....msg326136#msg326136
https://www.donation....msg267424#msg267424

And also:
https://forum.openof...php?f=15&t=29513
https://bz.apache.or...how_bug.cgi?id=49907


It has something to do with CHS and Open Office getting into some loop fighting over the clipboard..

Screenshot Captor / Re: Sending PageDown command in Post Capture CommandLine option
« Last post by mouser on November 05, 2017, 02:47 AM »
The scrolling capture feature of Screenshot Captor should get you what you want to achieve, but it will produce 1 very long image file.
Yeah for 500 pages, that's going to run out of memory with a scrolling capture.

Screenshot Captor / Re: Sending PageDown command in Post Capture CommandLine option
« Last post by mouser on November 05, 2017, 02:25 AM »
You have some options.

First things first, Screenshot Captor might not be your best bet -- you could possibly more easily script MiniCap, the commandline brother of Screenshot Captor.
That still leaves you having to script something that can send PgDown to your pdf reader window.  AutoHotKey would be a good solution and there are some expert AHK scripters here that could help.

Another alternative to MiniCap would be my Automatic Screenshotter tool.  Configured properly you wouldn't even ever have to trigger the captures since they would happen automatically every time the window contents changed.  With it running you might even find that you could simply press PgDown yourself manually repeatedly since that's all you'd ever have to do.

But again, AHK would make easy work of sending the PgDown key to the reader repeatedly.

Those bottom sidebar elements are intended to be optional and never very important, so I don't think it's important if they are not noticed.

Yeah I mean the top home page of the site..

Some have said it would be good if it were a more dynamic page -- like to show the most recent blog items on it.  But then the alternative idea is to keep it super simple as it is now.
But as it is now, the new cms home page is even more minimalist than the current donationcoder.com homepage, which at least has a 3 images on it corresponding to 3 sections..

Screenshot Captor / Re: Show name of printer in popup box
« Last post by mouser on November 04, 2017, 07:10 AM »
Ok I understand now -- you occasionally print to your color printer in SC, and then in the future when you print from SC, you want it to remind you that it's now set to print to color printer so you can change that.  Or alternatively always reset back to default printer after each print.

Let me see what I can do.

« Last post by mouser on November 04, 2017, 06:46 AM »
Have a preference to use the system default printer.
Does it not already work this way?

Or are you saying that you occasionally change the system configured default printer, and SC does not change when that changes?

If I can display the active printer on the print preview dialog i will (that's what we're talking about right, the print preview dialog shown before printing?)

If not, is there a way to keep the default printer each time a capture is done?
Can you explain what you mean -- do you mean that you want to be able to change the printer used for the current print, but then have it revert to default printer for next time?

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!

Screenshot Captor / Re: Post-capture pop-up dialog - Stays on top (cannot be minimized)
« Last post by mouser on October 31, 2017, 08:07 PM »
but I add one other action: save to file.

Remember that by default, SC *always* saves the screenshot to a file (in it's screenshot directory).  You can drag and drop files from the main window thumbnail panel to any other directory or select them and copy/move them wherever you want.  There is even a special "Move To" menu on the toolbar to make it easy to move screenshots to your favorite locations (you can customize this set of locations).

Screenshot Captor / Re: Post-capture pop-up dialog - Stays on top (cannot be minimized)
« Last post by mouser on October 31, 2017, 07:52 PM »
Try this:

Go to the options and find the "Post-Capture Options" tab.
On the left hand side near midddle down is "Copy to clipboard" -- choose the option you want.

Then go to the "Interface Options" tab and choose "After Capture Show: Stay Minimized" and SC will always copy your capture to the clipboard and stay out of your way and you won't even have to deal with anything when you capture.

And THEN when you want to print the last screenshot, right-click on the system tray icon for Screenshot Captor, and choose "Print last screenshot.."

« Last post by mouser on October 31, 2017, 12:31 AM »
You are right -- it should be allowable to minimize it.  Mainly the reason it wants you to deal with it right away is that SC can't really do OTHER stuff (like take additional screenshots), until you complete your selection.

Though let me ask you -- can you describe your workflow where you would want to minimize the pop-up window to attend to something else and then bring it back?

Another set of items on the dcmembers wish list is:
1. subdomain urls like we currently have (e.g. http://mouser.dcmembers.com instead of http://www.dcmembers.com/mouser)
2. option to use top level domains, so a dc member could register on their own codythebird.com and use THAT to point to their dcmembers.com site); this would be ideal for people who might one day want to move away from dcmembers hosting.
3. ssl certificate support for the above cases.  for the subdirectory case (http://dcmembers.com/mouser) this is trivial; for subdomains it can be done with a wildcard certificate, which could cost real money.  For remapping top-level domains to a wordpress multisite network.. I don't know.. it might not even be possible..
