Having it displaying something informing you about stome stuff shouldn't be a problem, i just can't do it right now (exams... bah!).
As for what you refered in your latest post, it wouldn't happen if you had it set to "Loop, %Directory%\*, 0, 0". If you have the '1' there, it'll see one file and one directory inside a directory and won't move it further down, since there is more than one element inside the dir.

That's an incredible toy.
Actually, that's way more than a regular toy. Amazing what these guys came up with! And i'm surprised it doesn't cost something like 150€.

Cool video, sure looks like this amphibious vehicle can do quite a few amazing tricks :D

oops... typo. you should set it to
[Select]
Loop, %Directory%\*, 1, 0
if you'd like it to behave like mentioned.
It's not a complete script because it doesn't prompt for anything (which makes it unuseful to compile), and i also noticed that it might not move one file it should. see the following tree:

Directory one
   Directory two
     Directory three
        file two
     file one
     
In this tree, file two is the only file on directory three, so, it's moved to directory two. but then, there are 2 files at directory two, which means they won't be moved to directory one, when they should be since originally there was only one file in each directory.
See what i mean?
Other than that, it's a pretty complete script :)

As for messages not displaying, might be because there's yet another typo. where is
[Select]
Messages = true
should be
[Select]
Messages := true

Post New Requests Here / Re: IDEA: drag window to edge automatically resizes it
« Last post by jgpaiva on July 12, 2006, 06:18 PM »
Ok, glad to know it's working. The .ini file is a damn awful method of interaction with the script. The latest version doesn't have any .ini file editing (it's still not released, though).

heck, sometimes just what looks nice can overrule everything else.

Absolutelly true. You know what? a few days ago i decided i didn't like the way the grid is created right now. So, i created a new grid. Curious about the end result? Check the .zip attached to this post.
As you will noticed, it has absolutelly no practical use, but it's much more fun and better looking :D

The hotkeys are still under development but it's looking quite good! :D

As for improving the way the grids are created... Yes, i know that should be done, as it's quite a hard method right now, but i'll eventually make a tool to create grids, and hopefully, the next version featuring the grid changing should make a good compensation for not being able to create new ones.

[edit] forgot the .zip... >:( >:( [/edit]

GridMove is a pretty bad name (doesn't make much sense, does it?). I'm with you, the final version should have a decent name, related to what the program actually does. Which means i'm open to suggestions :)

Post New Requests Here / Re: IDEA: "Open" icon - drag and drop icon2 onto it and icon2's Open action happens
« Last post by jgpaiva on July 12, 2006, 06:45 AM »
Bump-n-Run v1b

'Bump-n-Run' puts a thin line, 1 pixel wide down the top left edge of the screen. You dont have to be very accurate with this
- Simply 'bump' a icon into the top left edge of the screen and away she goes.
- drag a file in windows explorer, bump left edge and the file will execute.
and a bonus
- bump mouse agaist left edge, and a button menu of last eight 'Bump-n-Run' is shown,in history order, allowing quick 1 click access.

I guess this service could be almost perfect. Using opera, one could blobk the address of the page and wouldn't get it again! :D
(or would it be that that address page is not product of a redirection but has the address one typed?)

@Mouser: Working on it ;)
I also am for the titlebar and mbutton method, those are more practical. (i also use a lot the command-line).
Oh, that remembers me, i should be releasing a new version soon. I hope it'll be still today.

Nudone:
When i read your posts i thought "well... i don't think i have solutoin for that".
But when i tested it, i couldn't understand what you mean. The edge trigger method only works when the title bar of a window is dragged, which means that when dragging a file from within a window to the edge og the screen, it shouldn't be activated. Is this happening to you?

As this isn't a big solution, i didn't make a complete script out of it.
It should work, though.
(i hope you have autohotkey installed.)

PS: sorry for not having done this before, but i couldn't make recursive functions in ahk.

Official Announcements / Re: Best Of Blog - An Exciting New Feature at DonationCoder.com
« Last post by jgpaiva on July 11, 2006, 10:45 AM »
This new page is not for hardcore DonationCoder.com forum readers.
-mouser (July 11, 2006, 10:35 AM)
But it sure is a great deal of fun, even for those who already read the posts! ;)

So, if you have a friend who would be too overwhelmed to jump right into the donationcoder.com forums, send them over to http://blog.donationcoder.com - it's the perfect introduction.
-mouser (July 11, 2006, 10:35 AM)
Done!! Sure is a great idea, everybody should send the link to their friends (and mom, dad, brother, sister, cat, dog, hamster, house ghost, guardian angel, etc!)


Thank you so much for this new feature, mouser, it's looking great, it's a neat idea and i wish it all the luck! :D

WorldCup Predictor / Re: FIFA World Cup 2006 is Over: Italy Wins. Some thoughts on the Predictor tool.
« Last post by jgpaiva on July 10, 2006, 05:55 AM »
I guess that's how betting usually goes, and it looks like the predictor was right, itally was the one with the best odds.
Good thing i'm not a gambler myself, as almost all my predictions for the world cup went down the drain. I thought portugal would lose against england and win france. I guess next time i'll bet on the exact oposite of what i predict ;)
It was a good world cup. Some good games with lots of emotion. I only didn't like the fact that so many games were decided on penalties :(

Post New Requests Here / Re: IDEA: Use global hotkeys to control Zoom Player Pro
« Last post by jgpaiva on July 10, 2006, 04:04 AM »
ZoomPlayer's forum has a section where they mention how to remote control the program, through a program called eventghost. It'd be better than someone making an ahk script since it's already complete and supports much more than the ahk script would support.

If you still would like to have the ahk script instead, i could make it if you found me the windows messages that zoomplayer has for the controls you mentioned.

Here's the link for the forum post about eventghost: http://forum.inmatri...x.php?showtopic=4528

« Last post by jgpaiva on July 09, 2006, 04:08 AM »
Actually, that makes more sense, it'd be exactly like the "cursor jump to dialog" but it's "dialog jump to cursor". I've been through ahk's functions, and this should be fairly easy to implement.  :Thmbsup:

It's true that i'm not forced to click it, but i have sometimes felt "tricked" into cliking it, as it seemed to be mentioning an interesting article from bbc technology (which is the rss i've subscribed), and it ended up being a non-interesting and non-related page.
It's not that i'm against ads, since they support google, i just think that having ads coming up always on the same place of a page, is correct. Having them come up instead of something you expect not to be ads, isn't.

Living Room / Re: Don't Click It
« Last post by jgpaiva on July 07, 2006, 04:32 PM »
No, no way, nobody's taking my mouse buttons away!
This inteface is all but accurate, it's very limitative.
It'd force the user to use the other hand in situations where only a mouse click would be enough (because it's limitative, it'd need modifiers help to expand it's functions).  If not, it'd take much speed away, since the user would have to to a bunch of mouse movements to do actions (which is yet another problem, you'd have to memorize them), or it'd take years to do stuff because you'd have to wait for the buttons to be activated on mouse-over.

I think it's unuseful, unconfortable and limitative. But, the site sure does look good!

PS: i'd love to see them doing a demo of someone using photoshop with that method :P
