I think I would settle with the restoration of _documents_ which were open at a specified moment.
-Jabberwock (May 26, 2011, 01:17 PM)

Actually, that's harder to do than restoring which windows were open.  It's a simple matter to generate a list of running processes, allow the user to pick and choose, and then re-run those processes on a given startup.  Unfortunately, as f0dder mentioned in the other thread, there is really not a good way to know which documents a certain app has open at any given time.  Sure, some put the current document in the titlebar text but what if said application has multiple documents open?  Follow me?

I don't get the "cutesy" act so much from my girls.  I get the "lady logic" arguments that flummox me to the point that I can't even form a coherent sentence with which to reply.  Personally, I find it awesome that a seven and eleven-year-old can make me speechless in this way.   :-*

v1.0.2 - 2011-05-25
    + Add support for Windows environment variables in destination paths e.g:
      1=Desktop|c:\documents and settings\%username%\desktop
      2=Temp|%tmp%
      (Thanks, Gerard)
    * Removed sequential indexing mandate.  Now you can use any number between
      1 and 1000 e.g.:
      100=Desktop|c:\documents and settings\%username%\desktop
      250=Temp|%tmp%
    ! Configured paths that didn't exist would mess up enumeration of existing
      paths.

This is the second time you have helped me and it is much appreciated.
-pilgrim-online (May 19, 2011, 09:42 AM)

No need to apologise and you're very welcome.  I'm happy to be able to help out.  I've decided to pretty this up a bit and release it on my main site.  Bear in mind that I did change up the commandline syntax a little bit so I hope you haven't gotten too far into your batch files.  I also made the taskbar button an option as well.  Please check the readme.txt for details.

The command needs to be all on the same line:

General Software Discussion / Re: Need proxy software to capture outbound http requests
« Last post by skwire on May 18, 2011, 07:38 PM »
The other thing you could do is set up a caching web proxy server and direct all network DNS requests through that. An examination of the logs would tell you what people were looking at.  But that would likely require it's own machine for best results.
-40hz (May 18, 2011, 07:15 PM)


 I have a low end Dlink router as the gateway currently and it doesn't do any logging of traffic. Guess I don't really understand what a proxy is well enough, but it's sounding like this is a dead end for me.
-wysocki (May 18, 2011, 07:23 PM)

I've run a Linux-based router as my gateway device for over a decade now.  Something like this would replace (or supplement if you're using wireless) your Dlink device and they don't take much of a computer to run.  Almost any old box you have laying around would do; mine is a PII 350 from ages ago.  =]  I currently use Smoothwall Linux and it has a built-in proxy you could use.  Heck, it can even run that proxy in transparent mode so you wouldn't have to do any configuration on your employee computers.  In other words, they wouldn't even know they're going through a proxy.

First of all, this isn't quite as easy as it would seem.  Some questions:

1) Are you on a switched network?  Or are you using an old style hub to interconnect your computers?  If you're on a switched network, you're not going to be able to see other computer's network traffic from your PC...leading to the next question...

2) What kind of device are you using as a network gateway?  That's going to be your best bet at sniffing your network's internet traffic (since all of it has to go through this device).

In your batch file, call it explicitly.  Something like this:

The only option I need is to be able to turn images off, one at a time if several show at once.
For my purposes this could be either from a taskbar button or the image itself.
The only use I could think of for taskbar buttons would be to minimize/maximize images which would be handy but not essential.
-pilgrim-online (May 18, 2011, 09:45 AM)

There are currently two ways to close a displayed image: 1) Pressing escape with the image focused or 2) Using the right-click context menu.  Also, since there is no border or titlebar, I've made it so that you can simply left-click and hold to drag the image around.

Give it a shot:  Frameless download

I have a working proof-of-concept app, called Frameless, written for you.  Some notes/questions:

1) This will be a commandline app that you can call from your batch file.  The syntax will be:
   
[Select]
c:\path\to\Frameless.exe "<image path>" <x coord> <y coord>

2) Did you want taskbar buttons shown for each image?

Try this proof-of-concept: LockVolume

Simply run it and it will check your master and wave volume every 0.5 seconds.  Any changes to them and they'll be reset to the values that they were at when you started the application.  Use the tray menu to exit the app.  More configurability could be added but, again, this is just a proof-of-concept.
