Thanks a lot again :}

Your welcome. :)

 - the tooltip displayed when mouse is over a button seems to have an unnecessary empty line at the beginning : Should be fixed let me know if not.
(Note: You can add your own custom fixed text to the tooltip as well and it will still show the other information as well below your text.)

 - also, the tooltip includes a line saying whether or not variable is ignored : removed as requested.
 - while the "&" character is now properly displayed in the status bar, it appears doubled in the mouse over tooltip : fixed.
 - would it be possible to let the custom and settings files have the xml extension instead of dat, since they appear to be xml ? :] : fixed.

I'd have a few more small modification requests, which follow :
 - the tooltip displayed when mouse is over a button seems to have an unnecessary empty line at the beginning : can you please remove it ?
 - also, the tooltip includes a line saying whether or not variable is ignored : since it displays a preview of the command, I guess this line isn't necessary either
 - while the "&" character is now properly displayed in the status bar, it appears doubled in the mouse over tooltip
 - would it be possible to let the custom and settings files have the xml extension instead of dat, since they appear to be xml ? :]

Believe I got all fixed and the download url can be found at the new topic for my program:

https://www.donation...ex.php?topic=32623.0 :D

Also any new modification requests/bugs/suggestions please put in that topic as well if you would so it will help me keep track of em easier.

    Description
    Build a windows command line launcher that can be used to do remote work from your computer as well as having local buttons.   You should be able to use this as well on portable devices as long as the computer you intend to use it on has .NET 4.0.

    Features
    Portable enabled.
    Allows separators and linebreaks.
    Variable history.
    Add/Delete variable favorites.
    Allows some macros to be inserted where a path should go. (Usable in image path, command prefix and suffix.) (e.g. <appdir> for application directory and a few others.)
    Supports bmp, gif, jpg, png, exe, dll, and cpl files for button icons. (Right click the image file "..." button to see a pre built list of some.)
    Supports multiple layout files. (May have to select your button layout upon first load if you are still using 1.x versions.)
    Layout Link button type which will load another layout from a button in addition to the built in menu for switching layouts.

    Screenshots

    Click here!

    Usage

    Installation
    Extract to a portable folder of its own and run. (Note: Do not put in the program files folder or other system folder and make sure to extract it with folder structure intact.)

    Using the Application
    Setup your custom buttons and start using when needed.

    Quick Tips
    • You can use \n in the button caption for a new line.

    Help File
    Please note that the help file is not done.

    Uninstallation
    Just delete the CRAP application folder.

    Known Issues
    Currently do not know of any.[/list]
    431
    Edit : looks like I can't get the \n trick to work in the latest version of CRAP ? =(

    Re download and see now. I also got a new check box in to tell the button to ignore the variable field. :)

    Also something that is in testing phase but appeared to work in my testing...is right click on a button now and also anywhere in the button panel. (Backup your custom file while testing it tho in case something does wipe the custom file clean.)

    All new info and such for CRAP will goto -> https://www.donationcoder.com/forum/index.php?topic=32623

    As always not responsible if it borks things on your end, but here the updated version is...

    Let me know what you think...

    Download: http://carrolld.dcme...m/downloads/crap.zip
    Note: It should be refreshed on the server if not let me know.

    A couple tips:
    • You can use \n in the button caption for a new line.
    • You can also use Separator as the button caption to add a separator instead of a button in which case nothing else needs to be entered into the add dialog.
    433
    OK :]

    Well then, would it be possible to use <appdir> in the command prefix, just like in the image path ?
    That would allow for the user to get his custom scripts in a sub-folder of the program, thus improving portability — this way I could share the whole thing with my colleagues by sending them an archive.

    Also, would it be possible to :
    - have a visual "thing" to let the user know whether or not a button asks for confirmation without going in editor mode ? (For now I'm "cheating" by manually adding a "*" to the end of the button caption)
    - have an option for a button not to use the Variable/target parameter (so the same interface can be used to run a command on the local machine which does not need or accept a target parameter, such as "ipconfig /flushdns")
    - let the user place "separations" (such as a forced "carriage return" or even a horizontal line) between some groups of buttons ?
    - let the user define a constant size that would apply to all buttons (so they get kinda aligned in the interface as if it were a table) ?

    Edit : I almost forgot : an button or menu item to clear history ? ;)

    1. would it be possible to use <appdir>... <- Let me see what I can do after finishing up the global button properties dialog. Added to prefix + suffix(incase needed there too).

    2. have a visual "thing"... <- Would tacking it on the tooltip a couple lines down from your custom tooltip work, so as not to take up more status bar space or would you like it in the status bar?

    3. - have an option for a button not to use the Variable/target parameter (so the same interface can be used to run a command on the local machine which does not need or accept a target parameter, such as "ipconfig /flushdns") <- Should be able to simply leave the variable/target parameter blank and just click a button as it is now if thats not the case let me know.

    4. let the user place "separations"... <- Think I already got that in the version you have but doesn't do too well with the different sizes. Hopefully will be fixed with the use custom button properties toggle I have been working that allows global size of buttons and possibly a few other button layout settings like icon on top/bottom of text perhaps.  If you want it for now just set button caption to separator and it knows to add it as a separator instead of a button. <- Works better when use custom global button properties is enabled in latest version.

    5. - let the user define a constant size... <- Already in the version I have been working on.

    :)

    Hey hamradio I tested your implementation today and it really pleases me :}

    So far I think I only found one small bug if the command suffix contains a "&", the & is not displayed in the status bar when previewing the final command

    Edit : thought I had found 2 but one of them is almost not worth mentioning : if the path to an image is specified as "<appdir>\icons\..." instead of "<appdir>icons\..." then the image for that button is displayed only after opening and closing the button editor.

    Do you mind if I have a few requests for small modifications ? :]

    1. Think I know the problem with the &. (Edit: Should be fixed when I upload next time.)

    2. The macros are intended to not need the first \ before any other directory structure or filename.

    3. Sure post em and I will see as time permits.

    First.. thank you for that great plugin.. i have been using FARR for a while and only recently started to use it for more than launching apps.. and hamNotes is THE plugin i use the most! It's really great!  :Thmbsup:

    I changed the path to the notes file, to have it in my Dropbox folder, but it sets itself back to the default location on every startup.. I run Windows 7/32. Is there a way to avoid this?

    Thank you.

    Will look into it and see what I can find.

    N.A.N.Y. 2011 / Re: NANY 2011 Release: Color Warlock
    « Last post by hamradio on May 20, 2012, 12:28 PM »
    It's claimed that this post is rather old, but it's listed on the "contact us" in the help, so..

    I'm using 2.0.0.11.
    It would be nice if it were possible to set the text/foreground color for one or all of the colors in the list.
    If the colors is to be used as background colors, then it's nice to have a way to see if it 'fits'
    the expected foreground color (and the other way around).

    Apparently the code is mostly present already, as the foreground seem to change on its own
    at times (example Random Colors: #800080 has white foreground, while #D5FB14 have a black(ish) foreground).

    It'd be nice if there was a way to generate a variable number of of colors fitting a certain foreground color
    optionally as far from eachother as possible, i.e easily distinguishable from eachother, and where the text can
    also be easily read.

    I encountered the latter function in a program several years ago, but I can't remember which program it was (it had to
    do with css/html editing though).

    Right now the foreground color is checked against the brightness of the background color.  Your idea seems like one I may implement soon on the color or at least have the option of overriding the contrasting feature to set your own global foreground color. That way it could be either user set or use the color warlock function that determines what it should be based on the brightness of it. I cant promise when I can get around to working on it again, but hopefully sometime in the next few weeks. :up:

    MAJOR UPDATE

    1. Changed the file format to xml.  Use converter in chart builder to convert version 1.x files.
    2. Completely rewrote the chart builder eyedropper to include a magnified image of where the cursor is over.
    3. Loading the program should be faster now due to a change made in how it handles the program settings.
    4. Changed the menu and status strip style.

    Note: It will save your .ccf file to a .xml (while keeping the .ccf file) as soon as you use the import function in the chart builder.

    A public beta of Color Warlock 2.0.0 build 10 is ready for testing.

    Note 1: It has a new color chart file format of xml therefore see note 2 as to why you will not see the old format in the custom menu.
    Note 2: It will save your .ccf file to a .xml (while keeping the .ccf file) as soon as you use the import function in the chart builder.
    Note 3: Check out the eyedropper tool as it has a change that should help you even more.
    Note 4: It does save and load from a xml settings file now as well therefore you will have to fix your settings most likely.)
    Note 5: It will not show up on the normal check for updates in the program cause it is being considered beta.

    GENERAL UPDATE:

    1. Ability for the program to open maximized if it was closed maximized and restore to the pre-maximized state with the restore down button.
    2. New color chart information viewer built-in to main form.


    First post for download link

    I have fixed it but not uploaded it yet.  When I do upload the next version it will detect maximized state and save the size it was before it was maximized and it will also launch maximized if it was maximized and you can click the form maximize button to take it down to the size it was before it was maximized without having to drag the form.

    Ah...when that happens just click the title bar and drag it down to where you can reach a corner as it starts backup at the size it was and not maximized. I will see about adding a maximize check on shutdown and if it is then invoke maximize on startup of it at some point hopefully soon.


    If you can track down a pattern I will be more than happy to look into why it is doing that as I am not able to get it to reproduce myself, but it still could be there I just may not be doing the right thing to cause it.

    @hamradio - thanks very much for this app., so useful and helpful : just one small problem with the latest version - sometimes when I Maximize the main window I can't change the size any more, it's either Maximized or in the Taskbar. I solved this by deleting the settings.dat file, but as I said this doesn't happen every time ...

    Thanks for replying hamradio - I've cracked it : open CW, maximize it, it fills the screen, then reduce it, it goes back to a small window and so on, no problem. Now maximize it and then exit - then open CW again and you'll find that you can't reduce it any more to a small window, the only way is to exit then delete settings.dat.

    Hope that helps ?
