DC Website Help and Extras / Re: Official CMS Migration Progress Thread - September 2017
« Last post by mouser on July 25, 2017, 06:37 PM »
A little teaser image..
Modern fancy visuals are not really my strong-suit, so don't expect miracles, but I do think this is a little bit of an improvement over the current site:

Again -- this major transition to a proper CMS system for the DC website is not about improving the look of the site, it's mostly about making the long-term, back-end maintenance of the site significantly more flexible and sustainable, and make it much easier to add and modify content.  But some moderate attempt is being made to improve the look and feel of the site, while keeping the same "personality".

Screenshot Captor / Re: Settings are reset to default

You've posted in the DesktopCoral thread but mention SSV.. Am I right in assuming you are talking about Screenshot Captor?
If so I'll move this post to the Screenshot Captor section.

Find And Run Robot / Re: Assign hotkeys to user-toolbar items
« Last post by mouser on July 25, 2017, 04:44 AM »
You might want to try my LaunchBar Commander.  You can set up all manner of menus and docking bars, visible, automatically-hiding, system tray, with all manner of entries for launching files, etc..  All can be toggled-with custom hotkeys and each configured item can have a custom hotkey set for it:

https://www.donation...r/LaunchBarCommander

To emphasize, you don't have to have a visible docking bar with LBC, you can just have a menu in your system tray and trigger individual items with the hotkey, or use a hotkey to toggle a pop-up menu under the cursor.

Developer's Corner / Re: Two amazing talks on the creation of "Legacy" style board games
« Last post by mouser on July 24, 2017, 10:40 PM »
You can now regularly pick up "Pandemic Legacy" for $30-$40 (for example here at coolstuffinc where I buy my board games: http://www.coolstuffinc.com/p/212613).

The best board game experience I have ever had, by far, in more than a decade of playing board games (I wrote about it here).

I think everyone on the planet should try this game..

Developer's Corner / You could instead be making your own dungeon crawler game
« Last post by mouser on July 24, 2017, 10:28 PM »
From Rock, Paper, Shotgun today:

If you are reading this now, you could instead be making your own dungeon crawler. That’s the magic of DungeonScript, a fairly simple browser-based game-making tool intended for first-person dungeon crawlers. After a little studying, you could be making your own dungeon crawlers and sharing them online for us all to play.

Looks pretty cool -- I'd love to see someone here make something..

General Software Discussion / AVG sntivirus possible false positive report this morning on win 7 system files
« Last post by mouser on July 23, 2017, 07:19 AM »
Just a heads up that AVG antivirus *might* be throwing false positive alerts on some valid windows 7 system files this morning, prompting people to freak out about a non-existent threat and delete valid files.

I got these alerts on one of my machines this morning and suspect it is an error.

Read more here:

Note: This has nothing to do with DC software, just posting it as a heads up.

In cases like this I think the simpler thing is find a utility that can change the volume of your chime wav files to be what you want.

The sourceforge link is for the second runner-up app they posted about at the end of the article.  The first 3/4 of the article is about Automatic Screenshot Captor and it links to us correctly.

That's a good idea.  I can whip up a new version soon with an option for this.

There are two ways it could be done:
1. Let user specify a filename pattern on "File Saving" tab that as usual but add an option that tells AS to overwrite existing file if it already exists (instead of autonaming with counter).
2. Have an option that does file saving uniquely as it currently does but ALSO saves some generic filename ("lastcapture.png" for example) and always overwrites.

Which would be more useful?

« Last post by mouser on July 18, 2017, 10:58 AM »
Maybe one way to let user customize the chime souds without adding any gui options, is simply to let user specify sound file "Whatever.wav", but before playing the sound file, check if "Whatever_X.wav" exists and play that if it does, where X = hour number from 0-23 (or 1-24 whatever).  That way if they want they could use a different sound file for each different hour of the day.

We've gotten about 15 donations this morning so far (monday july 17, 2017) -- that can only mean that we were mentioned somewhere -- in a newsletter or on a blog or something?
Welcome to our new donors! Thank you and please make yourself at home -- we are a friendly bunch.

Now who can shed some light on where we were mentioned today (or maybe this weekend)?

With the price of hard drives my opinion these days is that the first sign of the smallest amount of trouble from a drive means the data gets migrated off it and it gets put into retirement.
