timns - may I congratulate you on your patience, humility and general good-naturedness while facing a rather uncool poster, it's a pleasure to see and has greatly increased my desire to see Auspex through to maturity.

Keep on trucking...

v 65

OK - all's working well except the minimizing thing still and the fuzzy matching seems to be function even when it's turned off !
I was buying some stuff on .... and when entering the CB details, Auspex tried to match numbers with words and  of course that didn't work : the numbers appeared as words ! I exited Auspex and the details (card number etc.) showed up as they should. Weird.

Otherwise I'm really happy with it but I would like the prompt window to appear much closer to the cursor, as it is I sometimes, quite often, miss the prompt.

.64 ... 

Having problems minimizing, closing and freezing but I can't pin it down though it seems to happen after closing to tray via the red cross and then using 'Show' in the tray context menu to open again - after that I can't minimize nor close.
And changing icons will only stick after a restart (I tried re-indexing but no go).

Otherwise all's fine it seems, and yes, Auspex does run smoother and faster - thanks again timns.

.60 going fine here - and at last the Completion popup window opens near the cursor.

7353 characters saved.

However I'm getting duplicates in the Completion list.... why's that ?

Also I was wondering about an overall option for Completions where you can choose between Tab or Space or Return to accept a proposed word - IMHO Return is the optimal option.

-joiwind (November 09, 2010, 12:09 PM)

Are the Completions totally identical? i.e. no trailing spaces?

I'll definitely add an option to use other triggers apart from tab/numpad.

Thanks!

7353 saved, and let's say you type at 40wpm... that's...er... about... 35 minutes of your valuable time

No trailing spaces - but the dups also tend to disappear then re-appear !

Thanks! I'm considering below features:

1) click or double-click an item to enter editing mode;
2) select one or more lines, then copy/cut/paste/delete/hide;
3) sort lines alphabetically, or by text-length, or else;
4) export matched/unmatched lines to a new file;
5) state/stats/summary info for the status bar.

Any ideas?

-musetips (October 24, 2010, 05:57 AM)

Would no. 5) include the number of 'finds' ? - That would be very helpful.

Pop-ups with number keys are a bit wobbly here.

I've been getting this (because I didn't read carefully and so was using the regular number keys, not the numeric keypad. (see attachment in previous post)
but after that, using the keypad '2' to select option 2 in the above produced (don't laugh)  "comakerputeputeputer" 

-cranioscopical (November 04, 2010, 07:42 PM)

Seems there aren't many French-speakers around - otherwise there'd be a lot of funny comments about "comakerputeputeputer" ...

And thanks for .59. I haven't seen many software that benefit from such frequent updates and bug fixes

And finally, Replacements aren't working at all... AutoCompletions are.

That's a real surprise - I would always have expected the Replacements to be more consistent. Is there any chance you could go through step-by-step what you do? There must be a missing link!

Got it ! It's the 'older' entries that don't work - and still don't, whereas if I enter a new Replacement then no problemo... so I'll just re-do the 'old' ones.

And thanks for the other replies.

Build 52

Minimize =  it works fine !

But, when correcting something in the AutoCompletions 'Name' box, the correction appears in the list on the right but doesn't stick or show in the Name box.

Also : create a new entry, drag into AutoCompletions, edit - it turns back into a Replacement and won't stick as a AC (I hope that's clear ?).

And finally, Replacements aren't working at all... AutoCompletions are.

I really like the Import feature but still having problems minimizing : one way round is to click twice or thrice on the tray icon and then I can minimize.

Bug : it sometimes happens that you cannot minimize to tray, nothing happens when you click on the hyphen, you have to quit and open Auspex again - but I can't see under which conditions that occurs.

-joiwind (October 18, 2010, 12:37 PM)

I have found one occasion when this happens : if you create a new entry (either completed with text etc or not) and then drag and drop it into a folder

Does it still appear to be functioning? Still adding text etc? And can you  quit by using File->Exit or the 'X', or do you have to kill it from the Task Manager?

-timns (October 18, 2010, 12:52 PM)

No, I can still use it, add text and so on and quit using either Exit or the 'X'

Two suggestions :

* as you are integrating Drag and Drop we will need an option for 'always on top'
* make the *.exe icon the same as the tray icon, the *.exe icon looks like a bit of squashed chewing gum...

Then : the popup with suggestions or corrections doesn't show up near or at the cursor as I think it is supposed to, it is sometimes way up left.

OK, yes that works - I reckon I was expecting it to create a new entry from scratch (which I think is what you mean in the first part of the quote - and which is still to come ?)
