General Software Discussion / Sagelight Image Editor

« Last post by hamradio on September 30, 2013, 12:42 AM »

At the moment if you buy Sagelight Image Editor you are getting a lifetime license which is defined at the following link...

Lifetime License Forum Question/Answer by Rob

It is turning into a great product...even more now that Adobe has switched to the cloud for their products.  So if you haven't checked it out you might want to check it out and if you have checked it out before it might be worth looking at again to see if it will meet your needs.

Note: I won a lifetime license a couple years ago or so on DonationCoder and have used it for my pictures when needed and I am not affiliated in any way with the developer.

My NANY 2008 Entry was: Coin Jar Calculator @ Forum Topic

It's still going great.  I have had at least one asking about buying the domain name alone recently.  It was also a "Cool Site of the Day" in 2011 for The Kim Komando Show on their website.  Every so often new users will decide to leave a comment in the comment system saying how it did for them and when did right it seems to do great.  It's the only one of the ones I have did that I will comment on in this thread at the moment.

Cool, that makes you and 40hz. Four others should be receiving theirs soon. Carroll's was going to Tennessee. She may have gotten hers today or will likely get it tomorrow (I'm just adjacent to her, to the north). The two going to Canada may take longer, dunno. Mouser, did yours arrive yet?

For firefox it might be a regression of this bug...

https://bugzilla.moz...ow_bug.cgi?id=787313

So perhaps some stuff is now forcing it it to stay open whether or not the button property "Keep Command Window Open" is checked and if thats the case I doubt I can do anything as close the window and it closes the application most likely.

I am not saying it isn't happening, but I can't get it to reproduce here.  So I can't debug since it isn't doing that here.  So me be confused...Does it do it with a web browser as well on your end?  Trying to think of something I can test it with without affecting system settings.

Program updated...found a few minor bugs no one found/reported. Now for what's new...Added the ability of the add/edit dialog when picking your icon if it is found that the icon is in the application directory or sub directory of the application directory that it will replace the application directory part with "<appdir>", so that you don't have to yourself.

Been trying to work on some of my applications as I get time.

Just another SC user and my understanding is the accept button closes the preferences saving the changes and apply saves them, but keeps the preferences open.

I've put together a composite image based on the parts of the two programs that I use and leaving out others, based on a single window.
I think the image will explain what I have in mind but if there is anything you want clarification on let me know.
I have shown the 'Blend' window because the 'Basic' and 'Screen' sections remain unchanged.
 (see attachment in previous post)

-pilgrim (May 05, 2013, 03:06 AM)

Which of those in the composite image besides the obvious do you use (i.e buttons and/or menu items)?

Actually here...The file menu in this one is disabled, but heres the latest...You can use Ctrl + A when the list is focused to select all. You may also just select the ones you need to copy out and it will only copy out the selected items into a list of your choosing.  You should be able to mix and match color styles input either/or and get the other on the copy.

There's no urgency whatsoever, for one thing it's not something I use every day, for another I can easily work with what I've got, a lot easier than when I started this thread.

I will put my ideas together into a reasonably coherent form and post the results for you to look at as and when.

Best wishes for a speedy and positive outcome to the health issue.

« Last post by hamradio on April 14, 2013, 03:53 PM »

@hamradio: thank you for responding. I actually am aware of your program, courtesy of dotTech. And while it might work for files, I didn't see how to make it work for links. And its links, especially in my email program, that cause the most problems. There I want to add to the existing right-click function the names of my 2 browsers, such that I can choose to open the linked file in either browser. Am I missing something?

-BearPup7 (April 14, 2013, 01:56 PM)

No problem and that may be a feature I try to add at some point where you can use it with normal links as well.

Might take a look at Portable Extension Warlock made by me to see if it can do what you want currently.

You can use the dropzone with it and just drag a file to it to send it to the portable extension warlock launcher which checks the info with your launch configuration and if it is only extension it launches it in it or if their is multiple extensions specified you can choose which to launch it with.

I have not had the time to sort all my thoughts out yet but when the possibility of modifying the Color Warlock program was made I realised it could not only create a gradient but replace one or more other programs I use in making them.
For instance, it has a colour picker built in, which would save me opening a separate program.
It has the ability to save a gradient and while I still want a way to save them as text I would not have to do it at the same time that I created them.

What I have managed to do is have a look at Pilgrim Color Blender which stands up well as a program in its own right.
I have found two issues with it, the first is that I cannot resize the window.
When I create a gradient I like to be able to see all of it or as much of it as possible without having to scroll, with CW I can either drag the window to increase its height or right click on the middle button (top right of the window) and with the help of The Wonderful Icon expand the window to the height of the screen. With PCB neither of these work.
The second issue is minor and does not greatly affect the use of the program.
I am able to paste both HEX and RGB values into the Start Color and End Color boxes and even if I mix the values (1 HEX, 1 RGB) it will produce a gradient (brilliant!), what I have discovered is that I cannot simply highlight and paste over anything that is already in the boxes I have to actually press delete, even if the box appears empty I still have to press delete before it will accept a new colour, I'm not sure if this is down to the program or the computer I am using.

That's as far as I have got for now.

-pilgrim (April 10, 2013, 12:07 PM)

1. The resize thing is only temporary since I didn't have much time to fix it how I wanted and still not much due to a family health issue.
2. The colors not updating I can't reproduce.  However if a color doesn't match the format it wont update it will just keep the last color that was valid.
3. I may eventually add a few things to Color Warlock that will do what you want, but at the time it will be as PBC as since I don't have much time don't want to hurry around with it's code and create bugs that I cant fix as fast as with smaller code to work with.
4. That said hopefully will be able to fix it up tomorrow or this weekend sometime with re-sizable form to resize the controls good and optimize the interface a little bit.

-c.gingerich (April 08, 2013, 07:55 AM)

I can only see the characters for your smilie so I'm not sure if that is good or bad.

How about I copy all that out and make a small version with adjustments for you from the Color Warlock code since you say you don't need the main window.

-hamradio (April 08, 2013, 09:13 AM)

Thank you for the offer, I will take you up on it but it might be easier if I take a more thorough look at the program as it stands so as not to keep coming back with different ideas.
If you don't mind waiting a couple of days I will make more detailed notes about possible changes and get back to you, then you can see what is or isn't possible. Is that OK?

-pilgrim-online (April 08, 2013, 10:03 AM)

Well I went ahead and started work on it, should be able to use RGB(#, #, #) in the start and end color as well...and below is the current state of it...if you want to test it.

CodeName of it atm is Pilgrim Color Blender.

DC member Hamradio made a pretty nice color tool called Color Warlock.. maybe this is a feature he would consider adding to it.

-mouser (April 07, 2013, 11:03 AM)

Believe it is already added to my program. See below its in the chart builder for my program mouser mentioned.



Does not need installing just don't put it in a location like program files so it saves the configuration settings correctly to the program directory.

Save the charts to the custom directory and it will appear automatically in the Charts "Custom" menu with a small color preview beside it.  If you save elsewhere then you can use the open temporary color chart to open it.

Use that part then save the chart then it is possible to view the charts in main window.

Tip: You do not need to type in a hex for start color or end color as it can also come from a double click on the start color preview or end color preview to set the color to the current color that is in the color box. (Color box is the box above where it says AliceBlue in screenshot.)  So if you got the RGB set it in basic tab, then double click the color preview in blend to set it to that color.

You can have multiple color charts too with the rgb and hex values able to be copied with left/middle/right clicks. (Can customize the mouse button copy actions.)

General Software Discussion / Avast Software Updater Version Checking Rant...

« Last post by hamradio on April 03, 2013, 10:24 PM »

Notice anything wrong with the highlighted area?

Yep...they call it a software updater...but...I managed to beat them to noticing 17.0.5 of Thunderbird and updated before they even realized 17.0.5 was the latest version...

How can that be a software updater if they don't see the update before you...

Note: The other softwares was blanked out by Screenshot Captor 4.0+ Patching Effect.

Time I checked was 11:15 pm eastern time on 04/03/2013.

The Window-title doesn't show the actual directory selected in the browser on the left

I'm confused as to what you are saying -- the SC window title shows the directory you are currently in or the full path to the current file.  Doesn't it? Shouldn't it?

-mouser (March 06, 2013, 11:12 AM)

It does not for me. I switch to say OLDER and it still says the screenshot path and I click on a file and it doesn't load either.  I switch back to the main one and it loads as well.
