Post New Requests Here / Re: IDEA: Run bat files transparently

« Last post by wr975 on February 16, 2006, 04:56 AM »

You can use "consoletool.exe" to hide a console window, if you don't want to use AutoHotkey.

[Select]

consoletool.exe /HIDE

For example mybackup.2005-02-15.1.log.

This one creates a unique name (date and time) using built in commands:

[Select]

for /f "Tokens=1-4 Delims=/ " %%i in ('date /t') do set dt=%%i-%%j-%%k-%%l
for /f "Tokens=1" %%i in ('time /t') do set tm=-%%i
set tm=%tm::=-%
set dtt=%dt%%tm%
@echo createdname : %dtt%

Or use the external tool "now.exe":

[Select]

for /F %%i in ('now.exe yyyy.mm.dd---ddd---hh-nn') do set dtt=%%i
@echo createdname : %dtt%

I've attached consoletool.exe and now.exe to this answer.

Post New Requests Here / Re: IDEA: text-only clipboard without separate hotkey.

« Last post by wr975 on February 13, 2006, 04:25 AM »

My favorite Clipboard Manager ArsClip (just a 860 KB exe) offers an extra hotkey for pasting as plain text.

Example configuration:
CTRL + V = Paste (normal)
WIN + V = Paste as plain text

Some other features:

Multiple permanent items groups
Picture, RichText, File Copy, Unicode, HTML support
Keypress emulation
Form Mode for pasting multiple fields
Highly configurable

Many thanks for fSekrit. Great tool!!!

>feature requests

The author of Ghost_AES (http://free.pages.at...ost_hunter/crypt.htm) claims ultimate security because he's not storing the password. So if you decrypt using a wrong password, you'll get unuseable data.I like the idea. It sure makes brute force impossible.

If you also like this idea, perhaps you can add a "don't store password" option in future versions of fSekrit.

General Software Discussion / Re: AutoIt3 versus AutoHotKey

« Last post by wr975 on January 29, 2006, 06:02 AM »

because they felt that their code was being stolen from them without the proper credit
-Amadawn (January 28, 2006, 08:30 PM)

There are a quite some threads in the Autohotkey forum about this topic. Here's what I learned: Almost all of Authotkey is own code. Some commands use or are based on source code of AutoIt (back then Open Source, so it's no stealing). The author of Autohotkey lists all these few commands somewhere in the forum and gives proper credit. Some external tools, like the compiler, are almost unmodified from AutoIt. Again, proper credit is given. Heck, if I launch the Autohotkey compiler I see a huge "AutoIt" logo...

What to use? Which one is the better program to use? You decide. Just use what you want.

FWIW, if you want to advertise for AutoIt, code some Coding Snacks. Because of Skrommel's coding snacks I got interested in Autohotkey and now I can't live without this program...

I think it'll be difficult to write a review about newsclients. Someone would need to use every available client for a longer time to know all its strengths and shortcomings. And then of course be unbiased. $:-\$

Being objective I'd say, the most powerful client is Usenet Explorer... But the GUI needs major work. I really tried, but I can't work with it.

It's nice to read such unbiased software recommendation.

Newsleecher is the most popular Usenet client around these days. Users love it. Competition hates it. Thanks for confirming.

I wanted to know of it were possible (and I know it is, I just don't know how!) to make a small server.

Try TinyFTP (http://www.typsoft.com/). It's freeware, easy to configure and works just fine.

General Software Discussion / Re: Could Authotkey make my life easier?

« Last post by wr975 on January 05, 2006, 06:07 PM »

Hi,

if you're interested in AutoHotkey the best thing to do is, to try it yourself. The Help file is a good start. Browse the commands, read what they do and then think how Autohotkey can automate your task. And before you know it, you're writing your own small scripts...

Here's how I'd do it:

Script 1:

1.) Run MLO (command Run)
2.) Wait until MLO is closed (WinWaitClose)
2.) Upload the file via FTP (see example in command FileAppend)

Script 2:

1.) Download the file (URLDownloadToFile) in %temp%
2.) Check if the existing file is newer than the download file (FileGetTime... modified)
3.) Move the file from %temp% to wherever you need it or erase it from %temp% (FileMove, FileDelete)

If you insist in emailing, you can use a command line emailer http://snipurl.com/lbnr) to send emails (Run,sendemail.exe parameters,,hide). Of course you can also start your emailer (run,mailto:[email protected]) and send keystrokes. Retrieving emails + extracting attachments using Autohotkey is the difficult part. I've no idea if this is possible.

But PlexTools is working for Plextor drives only. True?

I heard there some parameters you can pass to EAC so it'll bypass protection, like loading the first session only. Not sure if that's true. I don't buy protected CDs so I can't test.

« Last post by wr975 on November 29, 2005, 02:34 AM »

Hi, thanks, I know about Fentun, but it's not working. Didn't display any contents in winmail.dat. I read it's sometimes not working on Windows XP so I didn't bother much with it.

FWIW, I wrote a small script to assist me a bit with WMDecode, until I find something better or Thunderbird learns to handle TNEF. I configured Thunderbird to launch it, when I double-click a Winmail.dat attachment.

[Select]

@echo off

set dir=C:\Dokumente und Einstellungen\alx.SCALA\Desktop\Winmail.dat Attachments
set wmd=C:\Programme\WMDecode\WMDecode.exe

if not exist "%dir%"\nul md "%dir%"
"%wmd%" "%1" n "%dir%"
start explorer "%dir%"

AFAIK it should be a RTF file, encoded in Microsofts very own "TNEF" format.

« Last post by wr975 on November 25, 2005, 06:47 AM »

A software I'd pay for. An extension for Thunderbird, so I could just double-click on a "winmail.dat" and the email message within would open (RTF formatted message + attachments).

The problem about winmail.dat: http://www.gpc.edu/~...resource/winmail.htm

WMDecode.exe works OK, but $10 seems too expensive and it ignores the RTF message.

I think IP Profiler will do the job.

A different browser could also help. Slimbrowser (an IE frontend) has a feature to organize/change proxies. I guess other browsers offer the same.

Finished Programs / DONE: Movie Cache Viewer

« Last post by wr975 on November 22, 2005, 10:58 AM »

Here's a tool I'd really love to have (and I can think of quite some people who'd also like it).

A program like "SWF Cache Viewer" (http://www.browserto...WF-Opener/index.html) but for movie files (avi, wmv, mov, mpeg, mpg)... sorted after day/date.

Usage: I visit some site with funny videos and clips and see something I like. Instead of browsing to Temporay Internet Files, search the file, copy it to clipboard, get bugged by Windows about some security issue, go to some other folder, paste... I'd just use "Movie Cache Viewer".

« Last post by wr975 on November 06, 2005, 03:51 AM »

what i need is a program that executes a par2 file and waits for it to complete the verification process and then close that par2 file and execute the next one in the batch.

You can try using dlDone. It'll batch process/monitor your PAR2 files, repair if necessary and extracts archive sets. Be sure to read the forum thread if you get errors saving the settings.

Check Internet Options, Connections, LAN-settings in Internet Explorer. Probably you've a proxy server configured. If yes, configure the same proxy server in Firefox.
