@PhilB66:
Nice job with the news splash, PhilB66!  :Thmbsup: :Thmbsup:

As you know, I looked at the Winkey code and didn't notice the '+'  :-[

more than enough cents than to try and up the ante with you on this one (I'll only end up short changed)

If you're not whale heeled we can play for lower steaks, those for tuna lately won't cost as much.
3127
even though it makes perfect cents to me I note that as usual you've been free with your poetic license
If anyone could get a charge from my nobility it'd be you.
No one cents that where you are?

I think the most famous was Borland Sidekick.  I never had it myself but that was like the killer TSR app at least for 8086.  Also there was a task swapper thing I had.  I forget the name of it. 
Sidekick was *really* useful in its day.
I still have a copy of Sidekick 98 on one of my machines.
As to the later, QEMM?

there was one really famous one for DOS, but i can't remember the name of it.. Maybe made by Norton?

You're not thinking of Borland Sidekick?

exe corrupted, my Vista Explorer said!

I just downloaded the exe when I saw your post, Curt.
Works fine here.
Might your first try have been corrupted in transit, somehow?
Perhaps you'll be luckier if you delete the one that doesn't work and then try again.

True, but I was under impression miraclemandi was using Explorer - could be wrong!  ;)
Sorry CC, I thought your response was to steeladept's remark.
I should keep mum.
3134
you guys started without me...
If only we could finish in the same manner... that would be best for huge manatee!

Do you see two porpoises?

Looks like trailer for a beef feature to me!
You could probably write a dis-cetatean on that.

You can now pass commandline arguments to any launched program by typing "++ any args here" at the end of your search string. [/li][/list]

Thank you kindly!

Unless u mean on Desktop, you are in Explorer when you open any window containing folders... ;)

Well... not if you happen to use a different file manager.
For example, I never see Explorer unless I explicitly request it.
For me, most Explorer-like functions are handled by Directory Opus.

3138
I'm guessing testing porpoises (like, for a file renamer or something...)
Whale I never, I see you haven't lost your bottle and are still maiming to please!

3139
That's very good of you, Perry, thanks for adjusting that!  :Thmbsup:

the hand is quicker than the I...
...but only sleightly.

I amended the top of the script to included the new window class, but forgot about the hotkeys
-Target
Seems to be going nicely now.

I wonder if this one will work for PhilB66.

@PhilB66
For what are you going to use these duplicated files, if you don't mind me asking? Just being nosey.

3141
Hot keys don't work for me in the latest offering.
A press on F12 does nothing, but if I hold it down the script reports an inordinate numbe
r of hotkeys received.

Went back one generation and then the hotkeys did work. Then I killed that and ran the newest version which took F12.
Bunnies were in their own window, no transparency. That window and the explorer window sat and refreshed over and over.
I could drag a file icon to the bunnies to get duplication but if I attempted to move the explorer window it jumped back to its original position,
so it looks as if you're locking in place the bunnies and the explorer window.

At one point I had open two explorer windows and the bunnies ran away.
Shy as they are, they re-emerged once one of the explorer windows was closed.

All this and I haven't even had a drink. This is the best game I've played all week  :)

It's been a long March here but it's all white to be late, Alice forgiven
i realise it's been a long March, but don't worry April be all right

I have no shame!

just to prove you've mastered the understatement...
;D

Have you done anything that would affect that, or is this purely random?

  • Drop target invisible when explorer window loses focus or closed, and visible when explorer window launched or gains focus
  • Can't move drop target around -- bounces back to start position (does anyone care about that?)
  • Drop target not 'on top' (does anyone care about that, either?)
-cranioscopical (April 23, 2009, 07:37 AM)

  • the drop target window is destroyed whenever explorer is inactive, and recreated each time it is (active, that is...)
  • I wondered about moving the drop target - logically it didn't seem to matter
  • not sure what you mean by 'not on top' - it is set to be 'on top', just not active
  • Makes perfect sense -- I didn't realize the subtlety of your design
  • Static suits me. Others might like it on the monitor screen from which it was initiated -- maybe not.
  • Didn't understand the destruction/recreation so thought it had been obscured by another window at that location

I think I can see where some of your problems are coming from...
-Target
You noticed!  Time to write the Poopograter

keep the feedback coming and we'll get there

Win+V doesn't work though.

For testing I changed the key to alt-V:
line 82 of script from $#V:: to $!V::
(I have no Windows key on my Northgate keyboards.)
That works fine for my test.

Method was:
  • launch Popogator
  • F-12 to set the number of desired instances
  • In explorer, select a file and either Ctrl-C it or context-menu copy it
  • Hit alt-V (or Winkey+V if you don't need to change the script)
  • Instant replication of file to the value set by F-12.

I know it's a hare-brained scheme but...

2all interested

I've contacted an author about discount and he couldn't agree for that but... he offered 10 free licences for DC members instead.

I think some kind of contest will start with the beginning of May :)
-fenixproductions (April 23, 2009, 07:33 AM)

Well done, fenix.
And thanks to the author for such a generous gesture.
3147
By hand? What's that??

If the installation is Fawlty, resort to Manuel labour.

3148
OK, I think I may have worked it out
it's a very minor change, but try it and let me know

Nada.
Here's my experience:
  • Launch from desktop shortcut
  • Wait a bit (this is a technical term, don't worry if it's hard to grasp)
  • Nothing visible -- it's running
  • Open an explorer window -- drop target appears
  • F-12'd to set 15 copies
  • Dragged file from explorer window to drop target -- 15 copies created
  • Drop target invisible when explorer window loses focus or closed
  • Drop target visible when explorer window launched or gains focus
  • Can't move drop target around -- bounces back to start position (does anyone care about that?)
  • Drop target not 'on top' (does anyone care about that, either?)
  • Ctrl-Alt-x'd into oblivion
Do these bunnies have bugs?

Getting closer!

Anyone have a utility to expunge 15 unwanted copies?  ;D

can you guys run the attached window spy for me and tell what the AHK class is for your versions of explorer please
 (see attachment in previous post)
at the moment it's set up to run with "ExploreWClass" and this works on all the PC's I've tried it on (all XP SP2 machines)

Ah!  Here's the thing. I dumped the Propagator into a temp folder and stuck a shortcut onto my desktop:
>>>>>>>>>>( Window Title & Class )<<<<<<<<<<<
Program Manager
ahk_class Progman


So, having read this, I launched explorer and navigated with it to the temp folder and fired off the ahk script from there:
>>>>>>>>>>( Window Title & Class )<<<<<<<<<<<
F:\RAM\Props
ahk_class ExploreWClass


Et voila, procreating bunnies!

Apologies for the unwarrented failure but now I'm lapin it up.

So, make it work from a shortcut?

Each row in the Favourites section is the definition for the Favourite (1-5): Tavourite Zone, Replace Timezone Label?, Favourite Label, Favourite Date Format; all of which can be different for each of the possible Favourites.
-Perry

Yes, thanks, I got that far, I was trying to refer to using the DropDown for the Favourite timezone selection.
I can't see very well which item in the dropdown is the best choice for each (any) slot. For example, U.S.A. has many possible entries, but cities don't show in the dropdown (depending on the length of the preceding information).
