Living Room / Re: Help with translating a video from Deutsch

« Last post by AbteriX on October 19, 2007, 03:06 PM »

> haven't learnt that one: to "give the eye" -

 
My translator means that's the same like the german: "Er hat ein Auge auf sie geworfen"

i.e. to flirt with someone

I found now additionally this translation: "to gallivant"



> you'd know I'm not single since I started learning german
to speak german help you here, yes?

That's funny for you without understanding the language?
OK here you are.
I must say sorry i am not that good in english and i am tired from work


Here's an short overview:

WE OPEN THE DOOR AND WENT IN, SPEAKER FROM THE OFF:
An washroom
with wash basin,
mirror and a young lady doing the make-up.

But the mirror is no mirror but an glass plate

Behind the glass plate is the same washroom, flipped (mirrored) of course.

And the young lady is not one person but an twin.


-------------

00:40 i didn't see me????
Twin: Do not blame me!

00:50 that's odd. Do you see me in the mirror?
Twin: yes i can see you.

01:00 odd, but you didn't see yourself?
Twin: no, i do

01:30 ah, yes, i didn't see my hand!
01:40 stand on my place!
01:42 no, i see nothing...?


02:20 TWIN: excuse me, what's the time?
{quater past 4}
02:32 TWIN: did you have a problem?
odd mirror
02:42 TWIN: i can see you!!
No, i don't see ME.
02:45 Twin: Do not blame me!
hi hi hi

--------

03:13 TWIN: excuse me, what's the time?
my watch is broken, short past 4


03:22 the mirror wants to kidding me
03:26 TWIN: did you have a problem?
I don't see me in the mirror
Twin: Do not blame me!
 
 {guy went to the door and come back}
 
03:38 TWIN: he! that's a gorgeous "to give the eye" (Edit: i mean "that's a fine way" "to flirt", "to gallivant", "to philander" )
That's no "to give the eye"... i didn't see me!

{guy opens the door}
03:42 did you see me in the mirror
TWIN: yes!
I don't see me, that simple, no "to give the eye"
TWIN: perhaps you a vampire.

-----------

03:54 what's that a kind of mirror?????
04:00 one can see you but not me can i take your place
04:03 that's strange
{exchange}
04:15 that's is it. One can see you but not me.
TWIN: mmhh ha ha ha

04:24 i didn't had this undergone before
04:29 that's is it! I am unvisible! Not bad.
TWIN: can you see you?
No.
04:40 you can see me?
TWIN: yes

I can't see me!
(taking eyeglasses off)
04:45 TWIN: now you are gone again!

I want's to see how about this is for others.
04:58 (women taking eyeglasses on again slooowly)
TWIN: now i see you again!

05:03 i cam from an other planet, i think.
05:08 i didn't realize it, but something went wrong.

05:11 TWIN: take of the eyeglasses again!
(women taking eyeglasses off)
05:20 TWIN: no i see the coat only

05:25 take my place

05:34 i didn't had this undergone before
---

05:48 did see come back?
see forget something there...

06:04 TWIN: good bye
good bye

General Software Discussion / Re: any excel pivot table experts out there?

« Last post by AbteriX on September 13, 2007, 04:25 PM »

Don't know the syntax correctly out of mind
but you can script Excel with VBA (Visual Basic for Application)

You can look for an script with an
"OnLoad"-action like:

With Worksheet
If Target <> "" Then
x1 = Selection.Row
y1 = Selection.Column
Columns("A:Z").Select
Selection.Sort Key1:=Range("A1"), Order1:=xlAscending, Header:=xlGuess, OrderCustom:=1, MatchCase:=False, Orientation:=xlTopToBottom
Cells(x1, y1).Select
End If
End With


Sorry, just an hint.

General Software Discussion / Re: IrfanPaint - a painting plug-in for IrfanView

« Last post by AbteriX on September 12, 2007, 04:58 PM »

Great find lanux128    Thank you for sharing 

This is NOT an full paint program but since i use IV already and this
is only an 145kB DLL (75kB UPX) this is nice for making quick an arrow here and an circle there.

It appears that you need a specially-modified version of IrfanView,

-CWuestefeld (September 12, 2007, 09:30 AM)

That's right, see first post from lanux128
This modified exe is not from  Matteo Italia but from Irfan too. It's a kind of a nightly build and will be in the original IV distribution in future.
 

which is supplied only in Italian.

NO, IrfanView.exe is in english language by default.
You can put your favorite language.dll into the IV\language folder,
this is what Matteo Italia have done, ....putting his language dll (italian) into the download.
Just rename (or delete) this Languages\Italian.dll.

« Last post by AbteriX on September 12, 2007, 04:39 PM »

There are unix-tools-for-windows packs available and there are wc.exe included.

With plain DOS commands this is a lill bit difficult,
maybe "for /f" could help, loop this three times and if errorlevel >0 then delete this file <???>

Real solution would be an AutoHotkey script .... but you have asked this there already, so i will wait what happens.

General Software Discussion / Re: Best search and replace software discussion

« Last post by AbteriX on August 31, 2007, 04:18 PM »

One thing I'd like to see is a "select all" and "inverse selection" (alredy in 1.03) toggle.
When wanting to make a change in 20 files out of 25, it's easier to select all of them and remove the checks from 5 of them.
Or select 5 and then do "inverse selection". At the moment i have to place 20 checkboxes.

-justice (August 31, 2007, 02:59 AM)

You may know this already (i saw your edit), but just for the record:
"Select All"  is there too: 

1) select one (the first file e.g.)
2) invert selection
3) select the first one again

Or
1) click on first file
2) hold SHIFT-key down
3) press the END -key

Then use the context menu to mark all selected.

General Software Discussion / Re: Why don't all software files go into a single directory?

« Last post by AbteriX on August 22, 2007, 01:43 PM »

perhaps...

why:
--So many tweaks need to made to the registry
--why we have to use the folders in "Documents and Settings" (man, talk about a mess)

-superboyac (August 22, 2007, 12:27 PM)

This was a try to make the pc multi user ready with different settings per user and in the same time global settings for all users.
Mainly from interest for companies.

--why dll files have to go to a common windows system directory
--what's the point of shared files in the "common files" folder

See, all apps need an file-open and an file-save dialog, yes?
So why should every coder invent the wheel new?
The meaning is to have just one file open/save function in an seperate, central lying DLLs all coders can use.
An advantage of this is that all app have the same look and behaviour. (well the most)

--why do certain companies insist of branding their name across multiple subfolders
(ie Adobe) c:\program files\adobe\acrobat\acrobat 8.0\acrobat.exe  gimme a break

Perhaps to have all installed apps sorted out?
adobe\acrobat\acrobat full
adobe\acrobat\acrobat reader 5
adobe\acrobat\acrobat reader 7
adobe\Photoshop
adobe\...
Better to have all sorted in one main folder
then having several main folder of different apps of the same vendor.

perhaps...

There are little stand alone zoom tool available like
Dragnifier
FATBIT32
Zzoom
Zoom+

You can start them to magnify an region
and take an shot than when you ready to do.

OK, maybe not in games and not in that details as you shown above
since you zoom the pixels only that are there.

You can even use "Start > Run > magnify" to test this.

@fowmow
You can use JS to code for WSH (Windows Scripting Host).
You can use it directly to do smtg with your files on disk
or use it e.g. in an text editor like PSPad to extend the editor functionality-

@ljbirns
Did you create the HTML file yourself?
It seams as you have put the image in the body tag
like
<BODY BACKGROUND="some.gif">
Than it's normal that the browser tile the image a few times till the browser window is full.

Use  <IMG SRC="some.gif">
instead between <BODY  > and </BODY>

Screenshot Captor / Re: Should I add desktop screencast(movie) recording to ScreenshotCaptor?

« Last post by AbteriX on August 13, 2007, 08:05 AM »

Hi mouser, thank you for your gentle offer 

1) For me this is related to the Captor.exe size
Right now we are at ~1,5MB here.

2) What would be the advantage of this feature?
Well, it would be nice to have this "by hand" to quickly record an error or like that...
but than the size of the AVI would be too big to eMail or so.

Just think: an option for an kind of slide show with the taken shots would be niftier?

-

so i thinK
a - if it not increase the exe size that much
and
b - if it is not to much work to implement this for you
then YES, nice to have.

Questions:
- how much can the exe increase?
- are there more DLLs or so?
- can this implementation break the stability of SC?
