Finished Programs / Re: DONE: HTML Mail Merge
« Last post by Ath on March 29, 2011, 01:47 PM »
Some more info please:
  • What's the version of Office/Excel you have installed? I've been testing with Office 2007 with all SP's installed.
  • And where's the xlsx file located? on a local or network drive?
  • Are any questions/confirmations asked when you try to open the file directly?

Oh, and can you try using the au3 as the source (most likely Excel won't close even when E2H is finished, but you can do that by hand), it gives much more accurate line-numbers in the error report then the compiled exe.

Finished Programs / Re: IDEA: Copy selection on webpage as text with text hyperlink URL's and ASCIIart
« Last post by Ath on March 27, 2011, 05:08 AM »
I had to add another Sleep between the ^c and Clipboard get:
[Select]
       ; Copy user selection to a variable.
       SendInput, ^c
       Sleep, 100
       myText := Clipboard
Or it would get the previous content of the clipboard, instead of the selected text in the browser, just like you already have for copying the url, but now it's working just fine :up:

Might be caused by my rather snappy PC (i7-860, W7 x64, 8 GB), but the extra 100 msec confidence doesn't hurt anything :)

What's not good enough for using ScreenShotCaptor? It does all you request, afaics (and you said that yourself), the location of the stored screenshots can be set from configuration, and you requested a feature to prompt for the location with each screen shot. Is that an indispensable feature of LightScreen?

-tranglos (March 26, 2011, 10:49 AM)

Some applications allow to set up your own hotkeys for all functions they offer, and if you're lucky you can even print that list.
In other cases you'd be studying the manual to get a list of hotkeys. If it's in the helpfile, then in most cases that's printable. :-\

Could you do me a favor and try v. 1.4?
-MilesAhead (March 25, 2011, 07:46 PM)
Well I did... :( but sorry, my desktop WorkerW windowclass doesn't have a Window title set, so it's not counting in for Program Manager. Still a no-go.
I could suggest to add a -w switch that adds the WorkerW class to the list for the cases that need that, but that could give a minor interference with the alternate hotkey setting ofcourse.
Returning to my fixed-up version works just fine, as before.

I've been thinking about this for a few days, but I really think this should be solved at the AHK level, and not anywhere else.

So: Please post this request over at the AHK forums, and see if the dev-team picks it up.

Guess I'll just leave it the way it is and include source and icon in the download.  People can add WorkerW or whatever they want to the group.

Are you running some alternative desktop?
-MilesAhead (March 22, 2011, 07:50 PM)
Nope, I'm using Explorer2 as filemanager, but it's not as an Explorer replacement, just as any other app.

Use the spy tool and see if the desktop has class name "Progman"
-MilesAhead (March 22, 2011, 07:50 PM)
It shows WorkerW as the ClassName, and also does the AutoIt Window Info tool, so I added
[Select]
GroupAdd,DesktopGroup, ahk_class WorkerW
just below the line with "progman", and all worked fine :D

There's a thread in the AutoIt forums about this subject (the AHK forum was the first google hit I got but had no info), and it turns out that the 'Desktop composition' feature of Windows (Aero) is using this WindowClass.
You might want to study that entire forum thread to see if this addition has adverse effects in other places, but I have no intention to turn off Aero :P

While it rests on its stand (being charged) on the sideboard in the living room, it's a photo frame.
-phitsc (March 24, 2011, 08:29 AM)

That's what my Motorola Milestone does (kinda) when settled in it's (official) deskstand. The deskstand has a magnet in a specific place, recognized by the phone, that switches it to Deskstand mode (a special Motorola supplied app) 8). The same goes for the car-holder, a magnet in another spot triggers the car-mode, and loads the default navigation app.
It's required for the phone/tablet to have hardware support for that ofcourse :-\

It works for me.  Are you clicking in the desktop first to make sure it's the active window?
-MilesAhead (March 22, 2011, 04:56 PM)
Yup, both F8 is shown in About, and Ctrl-Shift-n works, as reported earlier, but F8 doesn't work. Just nothing happens, no error,no action, nothing. But neither does F7 when 7Folder is started without command-line parameter...

I'll investigate the source, and see what's the cause of this, but that'll have to wait until Thursday, sorry, other obligations until then.

Hm, I must say I like them as they are.

Afraid it's time for a few optional features for those that don't like or need them:
  • Age column on or off
  • Notes on of off
  • Note per name (that's a new one  ;))
  • Days left feature on or off

This 'small' project is growing a bit out of hand :P

The steep prices have kept me from buying one so far. And the Xoom was one of the contenders. I'm just waiting for the competition to kick in, so prices go to an acceptable level, before I get one of these 7" or 10" Android powered dreammachines :tellme:
Getting one straight from China or Hong Kong is good on price, but not on features, mostly outdated Android versions (as low as 1.5) or way to slow cpu or lack of memory. :mad:

My PC has currently enough power so I can postpone an upgrade for a few years (I just hope Win8 delays long enough)

I'd also vote to keep it simple, and confine the 'days left' feature to only show days until the next birthday(s) ahead (name(s) included), somewhere in the statusbar or toolbar area.

Just installed v1.2, and the F8 function, when specified on the command-line, works as expected in Windows Explorer, but I can't seem to get it to work on the plain Desktop. And <Ctrl-Shift-N> does work there, so maybe the filtering is a bit too tight?

I'm on Win7 Ultimate, Euro-English language but locale (number- and date- formats etc.) set to NL.
