[10 Apr 06 13:42] * bro_therS * like madly in love?
[10 Apr 06 13:42] * bro_therS * I would NEVER say that about a program
[10 Apr 06 13:42] * jgpaiva * bro_therS: that's because you never tried FARR!
[10 Apr 06 13:42] * JoTo * i am mad about FARR! <- I DO! :-)
[10 Apr 06 13:43] * JoTo * havent seen your line before sending mine
[10 Apr 06 13:43] * JoTo * two persons ... one thought :-)

As you can see, Farr is one of those apps that when you try it.. You fall in love with it :)

It sort of cuts out the need for the start menu ;)
That's quite a simple approach.
For me, it takes out the need for start menu, windows run box, calculator, alias in opera (for some sites), and sometimes, even takes out the need for file browser (since i have my disk very organized, i can use farr to search for my documents) :D

Back to the word "connoisseur:  For my money, ;) the word is absolutely perfect, and I hope we can stick with it.  It's French and easily found in any dictionary, with the Italian equivalent cognoscenti.

When I read the definition from the Oxford English Dictionary, it seems to perfectly fit persons who are drawn to donationcoder.com:  "a person who knows a lot about and enjoys one of the arts, or food, drink, etc. and can judge quality and skill in that subject."
True. Connoisseur while being a hard word to spell, is a good description. What i don't like is the "for". Because that would seem to limit the users to "software Connoisseurs".

I believe mayk also has a similar function to farr, using only the keyboard. But it doesn't search your harddrive for results (making it far inferior to farr ;) ).
Still, it has got some fans out there, i found it before i found farr, and saw it referenced quite a few times.

both lose in the name department :)
;D ;D

I'd advise against nvu, or anything WYSIWYG editor -- especially if your initial goal is to learn how HTML works.  It's like driving a car -- you're better off to learn on a manual transmission. Learn that, you can drive anything later on.
I can understand your point (i know how you like to do stuff the hard way :tellme:), and i will take it.
But although i do want to learn some html, i don't want to take 1 year to make the page. ;)
Well.. I will now go through al those links. Thanks!

PS: i'm liking html dog vey much.. thanks!  :Thmbsup:
4007
I wasn't very explicit on my first request.
I'd like to buid a page similar to Skrommel's 1hour software page, just a place to keep a record of all my posted coding snacks, with some history and preferably easily updateable.
On the way to building that page, I'd also like to learn something about html and general web-page creation for some common knowledge.

Thanks for the links, i'll go through some of them. I already saw the "teach me html", and it's very interesting. It's just a shame that it's so small :(
Now looking through Nvu.
4008
As my coding snacks list is becoming way too big to not have a centralized download page, I need to learn how to make a webpage.
But my knowledge about creating webpages is null.
So, i'd like to know where can I start, to get some interesting information on how html works.
I'd also like to know where can i get a good html editor/creator, which could help me acomplish my needs.
I hope the good people of DC can help me (as always ;) )

slave - i think your latest, while beautiful, puts a bit too much emphasis on the mighty dollar sign for my comfort.
it's a bit like using the catchphrase "It's all about the money"  ;D
Yes, agreed, i also had the same impression :(
4011
I really like the way this is going. It's becoming quite a good script.
I still couldn't solve the problem (unfortunatelly, i'm not having much feedback at AHKforum either :( ), but i found a small workaround.
it does feel a bit crippled at the moment with it only matching specific windows on my machine.
The problem was that it was looking for a complete match, so, it wouldn't work with windows that displayed a path on the title bar, or something like that. It's fixed now, for example, if you set the variables to:
DetectableWindows=PSPad,testmessage
NotDetectableWindows=ahk_class TMainForm,ahk_class Winamp v1.x,Autohotkey Help
It'll detect any windows with "PSPad" or "testmessage" on it's title, wherever that string is found on the title.
It'll not detect find and run robot (the first parameter, makes that, because it's the farr's winclass), nor winamp's windows (defined by the "Winamp v1.x" class), nor it'll move Autohotkey Help file, since it has that string in it's name.

Notice that now, these values have to be CSV (comma separated values).
It now has a new hotkey (F9), which allows you to add a window to the "NotDetectableWindows" variable. IE, you find a window that gives you problems, press F9 with it activated, and next time it won't be detected. No more problems with that.

Another good adition is the ability of setting upper, lower, right and left margins. This can be acomplished through ScreenTop, ScreenBottom, ScreenLeft and ScreenRight.

I also added a .ini file for configuration, and this script also has gone .exe, which means that people without AHK installed can use it too! :)

Thanks - I'll check out the new version.

Can I suggest you add links to your downloads in your signature so they are quick to find (I know you quoted it here but it would save looking for links). Also how about adding a version number as a comment.
-Carol Haynes (April 09, 2006, 06:39 PM)
:) As mouser said, i need a page. I have too much scripts to fit in my sign ;)
I think next week or so, i'll have time to do it.

You didn't get to say, are you or are you not using a space trigger?
As for the version, yes, it does make sense and i'll add it in the upcoming versions.
4014
I'm afraid that doesn't work too, if you move the mouse fast enough, you can get to almost 1/4th of the other screen... :(
4015
As Carol mentioned, this is possible in AHK. But it won't work exactlly as Poolee asked for.
Notice that the mouse can be moved only after it passes from one screen to the other. It needs to pass to the other screen for it to be detected and moved back. So, it'll still make the games minimize, Poolee.
On the other hand, it's easy to do what JeffK asked for.
The following code should do it:
CoordMode,Mouse,Screen
loop
{
Mousegetpos,MouseX,MouseY
If MouseX > %A_ScreenWidth%
  MouseMove,%A_ScreenWidth%,%MouseY%,0
}

[edit]the code above restricts the mouse to the primary screen. To restrict the mouse to the secondary screen (located on the right), replace '>' with '<'.[/edit]

Seems to work really nicely. You can even enter other keyboard keys like ENTER (just add {enter}) etc. (For details of all the keys you can use see the AHK help file for the SEND command).
-Carol Haynes (April 09, 2006, 09:38 AM)
Glad you like it!

The only 'bug' I have found using it is when you use the GUI element to create the script you have to enter a trigger everytime whereas all the other fields are remembered from the .INI file.
-Carol Haynes (April 09, 2006, 09:38 AM)
You are using a "space" trigger (i.e. a literal space, or a tab), right?
Those triggers aren't saved, but all others are supposed to be saved.

If you don't enter a trigger the script generated has quite a bit missing.
-Carol Haynes (April 09, 2006, 09:38 AM)
I forgot to fix that last time around. But it's fixed now, without any trigger, the generated script is similar to the other ones.
I've uploaded a new version that has that issue fixed.

Wow, all forms of caps/no caps working.  I appreciate so much all your work on this, jgpaiva.  I really do.  Each improvement has been one more step to a really cool program.  I can't wait to get off work this evening and try it out.  You are simply....

Spoiler
AWESOME!

Hello! My name is Konstantin Artemev. I am the author of VistaGlance. One of VistaGlance users told me about this topic and I decided to join.
Fantastic! Always good earing from developers that decide to comment about their programs here on DC!

I hope we'll hear from you again, VistaGlance looks pretty neat, and the future features you mentioned surelly look atractive! :)

it's a real shame about the shrinking windows problem but on the other hand the method for specifying windows to look for and move appears to make things a bit quicker on my machine (i could be imagining it).
You are ;)
When you specify the windows to be detected, it executes more lines of code (the part where it checks if the window is to be moved).
About the shrinking windows.. I already gone crazy with it, but couldn't solve it, and at the AHKforum, i'm not getting much feedback (which just means i'll have to post again). But i hope it'll be solved.

also it's a pity that the window is visible before it is moved to the cursor location but we can't have everything.
Yes, unfortunatelly, for this method, this always has to happen, it also anoys me a bit. But I sure am open to suggestions if anybody else knows a better solution! (skrommel? ;) )
4019
thanks for all the great work so far, jppaiva. DC credits will be on the way shortly. i'm just trying to get things working here but i'm not really finding a way to avoid the shrinking window problem.
The problem still is there, but it doesn't happen if you set something in the DetectableWindows variable.

i've also noticed that in the code above you put 'DetectableWindows' and 'NotDetectableWindows' shouldn't both of these variables (or constants, i can't remember the terminology) have the 's' taken off of them so they match the rest of your code?
No, not really, the thing is that there is a 'DetectableWindow' function that checks if the title or class of the current window is in the 'DetectableWindows' variable (defined at the beggining of the code). I'm sorry, but i'm really lousy at coming up with names for such things :(
On the next version, this script will go .exe, which means it'll have a .ini, and setting this options will be easier.

Have you tried setting the DetectableWindows to "open§run§some other dialogs you want§"? it should make the shrinking windows problem go away...

Living Room / Re: TyperA - test your typing skills
« Last post by jgpaiva on April 09, 2006, 04:05 AM »
I think that a penalty system is already in place--something I discovered when inputting random keys.
-noth(a)nk.you (April 09, 2006, 03:55 AM)
True, there already is a penalty system, i think that mistyped words don't count at all (or do they count negative points?).
4021
With the new script, if I want to move everything else, I assume I would set

   DetectableWindows=
   
Would I have 5 lines beginning with "NotDetectableWindows=", one for
each window, or would it all be shown on one line?  How would it look?
To use that function, you need to set:
DetectableWindows=
NotDetectableWindows=Online§Calculator§Volume Control
But this only works for the titles of the windows, you cannot use ahk_class. But that's a good point, I've changed it.
So, to ignore the windows you mentioned, the 2 variables should be set like this:
DetectableWindows=
NotDetectableWindows=Online§Calculator§Volume Control§ahk_class TformStopwatchFloatingForm§ahk_class TformClockFloatingForm
Don't forget to get the new version (.exe file: http://jgpaiva.dcmem...gMove/DialogMove.exe .ahk file: http://jgpaiva.dcmem...gMove/DialogMove.ahk)


Btw, if anyone else is interested in not having windows moved
underneath the task bar, I changed
Good point, I'll add 2 variables to prevent that. But the way you mentioned, only works for people with the taskbar at the bottom of the screen ;)

I've been doing some tweaking with this script, and it now fully works :)
It also has a new function: it'll create CAPS sensitive hotstrings.
This means that if you have the following line in your in file:
carm=caramel
there will be created 3 hotstings for this entry:
  • carm, which will be replaced by caramel
  • Carm, which will be replaced by Caramel
  • CARM, which will be replaced by CARAMEL
I have also tweaked the inner workings of the script, and now it doesn't have any bugs (at least, not that i can find ;) ).

Screenshot Captor / Re: FTP Uploader
« Last post by jgpaiva on April 08, 2006, 07:40 PM »
I have updated this script, now, if you use a command line like
FTPURL USERNAME PASSWORD "%file%Stamp" FILEURL
A unique timestamp will be added to the file's name, to avoid possible overwriting of a file that had already been uploaded and had the same name.

command line support, freeware, (no installation needed) , i like this.
So is this tools i've just updated ;)

But I don't quite like windows ftp client, i think i'll give RCFtp a try, to see if it's better than the solution i'm using right now.

You can get the compiled version here.
Or the .ahk file here.
4024
I have good news.
I have implemented the new funcions.
At the beggining of the script, you'll find 2 variables names "DetectableWindows" and "NotDetectableWindows".
If you set any of them to some value, they wil be considered. I.E. if you set "DetectableWindows" to Open§Run§Save As§Save, it will only detect those windows. If you don't set it to anything, it will detect all windows but the ones on the "NotDetectableWindows" variable.
I've tested it a bit, and it looks like it's working quite well now, no strange behaviours anymore! :D

(BTW, if you want this to work with open/save dialogs, you might have to increase the detectable windows size)


[edit]When i mean the script has no problems, i mean it works very well if you set it some "DetectableWindows". As for the other problem, I was unnable to solve it, and have already posted at AHK's forum.[/edit]
