Post New Requests Here / Re: Remember removed programs

« Last post by AbteriX on February 09, 2009, 06:35 AM »

f.ex. NirSofts MyUninstall can save current items to an file, -- you have to do this manually by hand from time to time.

Or maybe you want to export the relevant reg keys via a batch and let the scheduler do this for you regularly?

http://www.ss64.com/nt/regedit.html
     Export part of the Registry
      REGEDIT /E pathname "RegPath"

Write this in an batch.cmd and set up an task to execute this batch every once a month

@ECHO OFF
REGEDIT /E D:\Backup\Registry_Uninstall_%%date%%.txt "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall"
REGEDIT /E D:\Backup\Registry_Products_%%date%%.txt "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\Installer\Products"
PAUSE

and you will get such an list:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\{DD7CDE4F-.....-352D}_is1]
"Inno Setup: Setup Version"="5.2.3"
"Inno Setup: App Path"="f:\\Program Files\\PDF to Word"
"InstallLocation"="f:\\Program Files\\PDF to Word\\"
"Inno Setup: Icon Group"="PDF to Word"
"Inno Setup: User"="Administrator"
"Inno Setup: Selected Tasks"=""
"Inno Setup: Deselected Tasks"="desktopicon,quicklaunchicon"
"DisplayName"="PDF to Word"
"UninstallString"="\"f:\\Program Files\\PDF to Word\\unins000.exe\""
"QuietUninstallString"="\"f:\\Program Files\\PDF to Word\\unins000.exe\" /SILENT"
"Publisher"="Quick PDF"
"URLInfoAbout"="http://www.pdf.tld/"
"HelpLink"="http://www.pdf.tld/"
"URLUpdateInfo"="http://www.pdf.tld/"
"NoModify"=dword:00000001
"NoRepair"=dword:00000001
"InstallDate"="20080919"

-Registry_Uninstall_09.02.2009.txt

Note:
- modify the path "D:\Backup\" to your paths
- in an batch.cmd use two %s, on command line use one % only.

with this output.

thanks a for a suggestion for a feature. It was already on my list, but havent time yet to do it. But definitly would do.

http://forum.hippoed...4.msg476.html#msg476
But some kind of command bar, where you can enter commands from keyboard in verbal form with paramters etc is a good idea.
Especially when you would think about macro recorder etc, where such functinality would be necessary also.
And about this I can think and place into my todo

Developer's Corner / How to open topic from CHM by keyword?

« Last post by AbteriX on December 11, 2008, 02:48 PM »

How do coders do that?

I want to launch an CHM help file ... and straight go to an designated page.

I already know the default syntax:
hh.exe mk:@MSITStore:example.chm::/%KeyWord%.htm

that's OK for me .... if i know the structure of the CHM

but how can i open each stranger CHM from which i didn't know the
correct path (TopicFolder) to the html (and is it htm or html)?

Like
hh.exe mk:@MSITStore:example.chm::/TopicFolder/TopicSubFolder/%KeyWord%.htm

How do coders of IDEs or editors do that to open several different CHMs from all the syntax-languages they use?

If i google i find the default answers only, using an well known topic-path :-(

Thanks for answers.

General Software Discussion / Re: Firefox Extensions: Your favorite or most useful

« Last post by AbteriX on November 23, 2008, 11:00 AM »

Another quote:

By default, Firefox allows the setting of multiple homepages separated by the pipe or vertical bar character "|" (Note: it appears as a broken bar "¦" on many keyboards).

Now this works fine for opening multiple tabs every time the browser is started or the home button is clicked; however, it can slow down the browser startup.

-Homepage Randomizer

-Curt (November 23, 2008, 09:05 AM)

Thanks to you and Paul.
I found an solution:
Extras > Settings... > Startpage > [use bookmark] > (click on the folder with your favorites) > and FF adds the URLs from that folder
 separated with an "|" pipe-sign automatically

Fine!

"Autostart FF with an few default URLs"

- in FF i  have already an favorite folder for a few sides (not more then 10 URLs) i want to open as, say "default" .
--- so i can launch FF, right click on my favorite folder and chose "open all in tabs"

But i would prefer an automation to launch those  URLs at FF start automatically.
Here is how i do that:
Extras > Settings... > Startpage > [use bookmark] > (click on the folder with your favorites URLs)  > and FF adds
the URLs from that folder separated with an "|" pipe-sign automatically as "start page" and opens them all in new tabs

- so i start my pc
--- FF is in autostart
----- FF starts and launches URL-1 in tab, URL-2 in an another tab, URL-3...
-- i came back and all sides are loaded

Now an automation would be nice to modify the start page as the favorite folder is modified.
I search for something like an script to use as "start page" to load all URLs from favorite folder named "default"
I will search if one could use an JS script as startpage.... the rest should be easy.

Thanks ChalkTrauma this works fantastic 
I was able to redirect and paste to editor up to 75.000 lines (on an simple test) .... cb give me 1.000 - 3.000 lines only (512k limit)
(very limited comparison because i compare output lines only instead of real char-count, but that's enough for me to see how it works)

Thank you very much for sharing   

BTW would'nt it be a good idea to distribute your exe with your-last-post-content as ClipCopy.txt ?

I use cb often

dir /b /s |cb

There is a 512k limit. But this is no problem since i use it for small issues only and would redirect large amounts to file.

I would like to test ChalkTraumas as well

General Software Discussion / Re: Renamers, Picture Viewers, etc., 1999 before 2

« Last post by AbteriX on November 11, 2008, 09:57 AM »

there is an "use natural order sorting" - option to set too.

-AbteriX (November 11, 2008, 05:50 AM)

This is strange to me! I am certain natural sorting already was checked, so I didn't start the "old" ReNamer up to test again, but went and updated it instead. A minor update it was, but right out of the box it uses "natural sorting". Thanks, AbteriX!

-Curt (November 11, 2008, 07:16 AM)

That wasn't consistent for my neither.
First natural sort wasn't checked (out of the box i think)
But the sort works natural 1,2,3 10,11,12,100,101

Then if i test this checkbox..... the natural sort works only if i check this option.
If i uncheck ... i have non-natural sort. Maybe i should report this to the autor.

However, I didn't find a way to make ReNamer transform 1, 2, 3, into 0001, 0002, 0003.

transform 1, 2, 3, into 0001, 0002, 0003

-Rename natural sorted files

The simplest way is to
- sort old file name in natural order
- delete this number parts from old file name
- serialize again (start 1 - pad zeros - 4 digits (or like this))
(EDIT: or even simpler: >>> http://www.den4b.com...c.php?pid=6308#p6308)

An other way may be using RegEx or PascalScript.

With an good ReNamer and an editor with scripting support (like VIM) you can do all you want.

BTW, ReNamer is at v 5.31 at the moment http://www.den4b.com...c.php?id=409&p=2

fSekrit / Re: A version of fSekrit to handle small binaries?

« Last post by AbteriX on August 23, 2008, 03:09 PM »

BTW, you can encode binaries to MIME/Base64 or UUE  (same as with eMail)
so you would get an 7bit ASCII plain text from your binaries
which one could store in fSekrit.

Before i am used TotalCommander for this issue i used

Fastcode32 4.0 Beta 3

Fastcode32 is a fast and simple encoder and decoder for MIME, UUencoded and XXencoded files.
Fastcode can automatically detect the correct decoding method for the chosen file and it can handle multipart MIME files.
Fastcode can also be operated by right-clicking on a file and choosing Fastcode from the shell context menu.
Fastcode32 is a multipurpose MIME/UU/XX/BinHex/AtoB/BtoA decoder and encoder.
Fastcode32 provides a fast way to decode/encode your files.
It automatically detects encoded format and decodes the file.
Update includes AtoB/BtoA encoding format, drag-and-drop support, and more.

Edit: silly me
i was wrong, it was UUDeview (UUD32) i've used (and still use if needed):

UUDeview is a program that will help you to transmit and receive binary files over the Net.
It includes both an encoder and a decoder.
The decoder automatically detects the type of encoding used, offering MIME Base64, yEnc, and BinHex as well as the popular uuencoding
and the less frequently used xxencoding methods.
The encoder runs the other way around and encodes a binary file for transmission by e-mail or over the newsgroups.

Free and portable too.

PS : One thing that could be useful would be a feature allowing to anotate some rules and batches to rapidly see what they do
-- especially convenient when working with loooonnng regex. I might bring the suggestion directly to the developer.

-Armando (July 26, 2008, 07:16 PM)

>  I might bring the suggestion directly to the developer.
Do this please ;-)


> working with loooonnng regex.
FYI, ReNamers RegEx engine supports (?#my comments) 

Therefore, many modern regex flavors allow you to insert comments into regexes.
The syntax is (?#comment) where "comment" can be whatever you want,
as long as it does not contain a closing round bracket.
The regex engine ignores everything after the (?# until the first closing round bracket.

http://www.regular-e...s.info/comments.html

f.ex.  \d*(?#find an digit, null or more)
Try it out and tell us how it works.

-

And i found out "Free-Spacing Regular Expressions" is supported too

In free-spacing mode, whitespace between regular expression tokens is ignored.
Whitespace includes spaces, tabs and line breaks.
Note that only whitespace between tokens is ignored.
E.g. a b c is the same as abc in free-spacing mode,

http://www.regular-e...nfo/freespacing.html

-

For comments on saving presets...
you could add an PascalScript-RULE for your comments only. (without any script, just comment only

You have to comment-out this comments.
You can use either of these commenting styles:
{ comments }
// comments
(* comments *)

----------------------------
Just to update:
The experimental version of ReNamer is ready, where Filters settings can be saved and loaded with individual Presets.
Both of these have been implemented and they DO require some testing:
* Added ability to save Filter Settings together with a Preset;
* Added split panel in status bar to display current preset and modification sign;
Tell me how it goes, ok?

* Integrated dEXIF libraries to parse EXIF tags (works on problematic JPEG files);
