General Software Discussion / Re: How to quickly autonumber text lists?
« Last post by skwire on October 25, 2010, 04:16 PM »
My only comment is how to add a 'Tab' character in the prefix or suffix?
-superboyac (October 25, 2010, 03:32 PM)

In my current build, I have those two edit controls set to insert a tab character when the tab key is used.  However, you will lose the ability to tab out of that control to the next one.  Make sense?

As for the name, I actually really like "List Numberer".  It's clear and has a little charm to it.  When I get home, I'll look for an icon for it and send it to you, and you can use it in place of the ahk icon, if you like.
-superboyac (October 25, 2010, 03:32 PM)

Don't worry about the icon since this is a preview/beta build.  I'm going to submit it as a NANY app and will dress it up then with my typical Skwire Empire stuff.

Instead of using your mouse and the right-click menu, use the down-arrow key to select the next file followed by F2 to rename it.

I notice a delay of about a second when pressing the hotkey to resume though.
-Smobu (October 24, 2010, 12:15 PM)

Call it a result of my code design for this application.  If you find it too bothersome, I can refactor the code.

Here you go, Smobu:  Ten Timer download

2010-10-24_115034.png

It's not nearly as attractive as the MultiTimer application you referenced in your initial post but I think it'll get the job done for you.  

Details:

  • ctrl-1 through ctrl-0 will start/pause the corresponding timer.
  • ctrl-alt-1 through ctrl-alt-0 will reset the timer to 0.  You can also do this while the timer is running.
  • The ">" button will start a timer.
  • The "| |" will pause a timer.
  • The "<<" will reset a timer.

Any timer name text you set in the edit field is saved from session to session.  Saving the actual timer values can be easily added, too.  Let me know if this will work for your purposes.  Thanks.

Give this a whirl, superboyac:  List Numberer download

Currently, it does not save any settings.  This release is more to see if this is what you had in mind...consider this a beta NANY entry.  =]  Anyway, play with it and let me know what you think.  Also, names for this application are welcome.  It's been a while, Cranioscopical...what say you?  =]

- Using most common in Poland "polish programmers keyboard" to get those strange letters, Right Alt (or Alt Gr) is used, which is mapped as ctrl+alt.
But AltGr+a instead of writing polish letter ą (a,) acts as ctrl+a.
-Greybrow (October 11, 2010, 01:50 PM)

If I understand you correctly, I don't think there is anything I can do.  Anuran doesn't capture ctrl-a at all.  This is handled natively by the edit control itself.

- giving 0 seconds/minutes/hours/days for popup, keeps the popup on the screen all the time, instead of not showing it at all (or maybe it is a feature not a bug ;) )
-Greybrow (October 11, 2010, 01:50 PM)

Thanks, I'll try to find time to fix this.

Is there a program out there that can look at these links and download them automatically at a certain time of the day?
It will also need to support overwriting of the existing file in the directory that is user-defined.
-Smobu (October 13, 2010, 05:54 PM)

You could accomplish the downloading and moving of files with just a few lines of AutoHotkey.  You could then create an entry in the Windows Task Scheduler to run it at a certain time.  If you want the script wholly self-contained, that can be done, too.  However, it will need to run in the background to be able to check what time it is.  Small AHK scripts typically take just a few megs of memory so running it in the background shouldn't be an issue.

Zero-padding is fine.  Numbers and roman numerals are fine.  Letters...no.

It really wouldn't take much to write a quickie Coding Snack to cover this.  May I assume these are simple text lists?  Not some crazy-ass formatted Word doc mumbo-jumbo?

« Last post by skwire on October 12, 2010, 01:28 PM »
If the scan is decent, you can probably do what you want simply by using the "magic wand" and "fill" tools in most any paint program.  Paint.NET, Paint Shop Pro, etc.

People who can't afford hosting with a DB are granted free access to WordPress.com, so what?
-Tuxman (September 30, 2010, 03:53 PM)

I'd bet there are PLENTY of people that want to host their own site or domain on their own boxes but don't have the know-how to set up MySQL and such.  FlatPress offers a very nice alternative.

I think it (FlatPress) is pretty darn slick.  Much much easier to setup than a DBMS system.  I had it going in less than a minute.  Also, I'd venture to say that it's much easier to backup and restore, too.  Nice job, NoWhereMan.   :D

I wrote this a long while back for the exact same issue:

Code: Autohotkey [Select]
  2. SetTimer, Idle_Check, 10000
  3. Return
  4.  
  5. Idle_Check:
  6. {
  7.     MyTime := A_TimeIdle
  8.     If ( MyTime > 60000 )
  9.     {
  10.         Random, MouseX, 1, 5
  11.         Random, MouseY, 1, 5
  12.         MouseMove, % MouseX, % MouseY
  13.     }
  14. }
  15. Return

Small program request:
Context menu item in Windows Explorer.
shortened name: "Move To Parent"
long name:  "Move Selected Items To Parent Directory"
In the old DOS days, it was easy to type in "move xyz.txt ..", or "move *.jpg .."
In Windows there is nothing similar.  And searching through Google turned up no simple program to accomplish this.
Can any of the gurus here do it?

KeyCounter does not seem to load the list of keys I want to monitor automatically on startup?
What might be the reason for that?
OS: Win 7 Ultimate 32-bit
-TripleJ (September 23, 2010, 01:24 AM)

Thanks for the kind words.  Since KeyCounter works here for me under XP, I'm going to guess you're running it out of your Program Files folder under Win7.  If so, try moving the KeyCounter install folder to a non-protected folder and see if it works there.  Let me know how it goes.
