Finished Programs / Re: DONE - IDEA: modem online always on top indicator
« Last post by mouser on May 03, 2005, 07:40 AM »
new version uploaded, renamed DYDLO.

the new version has more options (including right click on TRAYICON to disconnect - can you test this, i can't).
plus readme file telling how to customize transparency, baloons, seconds.

plus option to show/hide window from tray.

the timer should auto pop up and display when you connect - if it doesn't please let me know.

I could use some more people with modems to test this plz - it doesnt have an installer and doesnt modify registry, so its very safe.

how wonderful it would be to have 365 pictures of the same outdoor scene, from jan 1 to dec 31, and have wallpaper auto set to the matching day!

surely such a picture series must exist somewhere... if we can only find it..
37332
it's been up since yesterday, on coding snacks download page.
expect to experiment a little to get the files in the right places - i had to make a separate copies for my dif users so that file permissions were correct. and create shortcuts in start menu to the runonswitch exe.
37333
with some help from jibz, i'm pretty much done with this..
the theme file syntax is very flexible but a little complex.

but before i upload i'd like to get some picture files to include.

if anyone feels like helping i'd like to include 2 sets of images, one based on time of day, and one based on month of year.

that is, i want two series of images, one tied to the hour of the day, ie 24 images showing outdoor photos at different hours of the day.
and another set of 12 images, one for each month.

General Software Discussion / Re: Software for Mindmapping etc
« Last post by mouser on May 02, 2005, 07:06 PM »
this isnt a mind map tool, but
Pacestar makes some diagramming tools, which are very simple compared to Visio.
I'm a long long time user of their EdgeDiagrammer tool.

compared to visio this tool is much much simpler, but its very fast and easy to use and just fun to use.

for sketching out ideas i just love edge diagrammer (http://www.pacestar.com/edge/eddesc.htm).

question - is the icon red, saying you are connected, when you are connected?
or is it failing to detect you are connected?

hmm let me check the version i uploaded..
you should see a timer in upper left of screen, then can be dragged around.
but it will only appear if you are connected..

Coding Snack Guidelines / Re: CODERS: READ IN and POST HERE
« Last post by mouser on May 02, 2005, 10:36 AM »
Although i occassionally do some coding in perl, my language of choice is C++.

I use visual c++ for making small exes that don't use gui much, and C++ Builder for heavy GUI tools.

I would probably enjoy using C++ Builder more for these requests, since i can make a full windows gui very quickly with it.

I like making tray-based tools, so if you have a system tray request that would probably be something i'd be interested in.

I'm not very good at graphics, so things that require moving images and stuff is probably not my cup of tea.
Commandline tools are ok, though i know there are some other coders here who are hardcore efficient commandline coders so maybe i'll leave those requests for them.

workrave is open source, it would probably be a snackable request to modify workrave to not allow you to override it :)

« Last post by mouser on May 02, 2005, 07:56 AM »
this sounds like a very good idea.
i'm not too familiar with pocketpc programmer so i don't know if such a thing exists; certainly on the pc there are macro tools that would let you set up such things.

maybe there is a pocketpc programmer here who might take a look at this.

« Last post by mouser on May 01, 2005, 07:08 PM »
this is a good idea.. but surely already exists?
37342
hehehe, cool... didn't even know that feature was there.

Seriously though, i want to thank all of you who participated in this experiment with the new idea of Coding Snacks.
We didn't know if it would be a completely flop, or if anyone would show up and make requests.

I think for a first attempt, it went pretty well.  Hopefully we can attract some more user and more coders over time and continue to improve it.  But I had fun and I hope you guys had fun too, which was really the whole point.  And I was surprised at the fact that this section also proved to be a useful way to find out about existing tools I never heard of.

I think this experience has been good enough that we are going to go ahead and make Coding Snacks a regular feature of the site; people can post requests at any time, and coders can visit for snacks, and then on the last weekend of each month we'll have a special marathon like we did this weekend.

ps.
thank's especially to db and the other guest coders who dropped by to help out.

« Last post by mouser on May 01, 2005, 06:11 PM »
I encourage you to look for other programs that do this, and report back to us..
i've been wanting to write a program that does this kind of thing for a while and i'd be very interested in discussing more various features of other window-button-adding tools, like open/save dialogs, and adding new menus, etc.

Unfinished Requests / Re: IDEA: A better scratch pad
« Last post by mouser on May 01, 2005, 06:07 PM »
i'm going to put a thumbs down on this based on the assumption that there are existing tools for this,
HOWEVER, this is something that could be writen very easily with a RAD tool like c++ builder, and if you can think of some unusual minor feature not found in existing tools, id be willing to write this.  its just with all the nice note taking tools it seems silly to merely write something that is a subset of these tools..

Unfinished Requests / Re: IDEA: Windows shell that's just a desktop
« Last post by mouser on May 01, 2005, 06:05 PM »
i still don't really understand this request - probably because im not very familiar with what dif desktop/screen/explorer shell replacements do.. but i am curious to hear more about this idea.
37346
i've been helping db test his app for a while now - there are some tricky things he has had to figure out.
and i'm happy to say it's working perfectly now for me.
he might still have to do a tweak to make sure it runs with proper permissions,
and setting up the files in the write places with the right names requires a little bit of work,
but i'll be damned if the damn thing doesn't work like a charm :)

it lets you specify an ini file for each user, with a list of apps to run including commandline parameters.  these are executed every time user is switched to, and at startup (first login).  very neat.  you could use it to set resolution like XPKeepPerUserDisplaySettings does too (to set to a fixed setting), using a commandline resolution changer, or a variety of things.

i'll wait for db to put up the final version before i add it to the coding snacks download page,
and maybe jeffk would be kind enough, once you get it working, to write a little more lengthy tutorial of how you set it up to work with volume control, just as a real-life example of how you set it up, that db could include as a readme, to help new users? would you be willing to do that jeff?

General Software Discussion / PngOut.dll + PngOut.exe
« Last post by mouser on May 01, 2005, 03:34 PM »
an awesome png output compressor (available as standalone exe or dll for irfanview 3.97) is out:
http://advsys.net/ken/utils.htm

takes some time to run but does a fantastic job of creating small full color png files.

(note you could use drag&drop robot to do batch processing with the commandline pngout.exe).
