The object is not to figure out the spoons, but to realize there is no spoon.

Find And Run Robot / Re: can not find outlook email messages
« Last post by kunkel321 on April 11, 2012, 03:05 PM »
My understanding is that Outlook messages exist an an alternate universe and therefor are inaccessible to FARR.  If you do a forum search for "xobni" you'll find a resent discussion on OL search indexers.  Basically there don't seem to be any good ones. 

I wish there were.  Using OL's built-in search features is frustrating to say the least...

Interesting. Should I implement that on a sum by sum per basis, or a whole sheet basis? If I do the latter, it would enable the user to restore multiple sums at once.

Alternatively, to make it easier for me, I could add an option to restore just the last working session (sheet). Would this offer most of what you're looking for, or should I allow restoring of previous sheets (or sums) too?

RE 'Show history' feature request: I think that the most logical would be to save sessions.   A lot of the time that will be only one calculation.  So if I open OC, then do 2+2, then close it, that would be one session.  But if I open it and do a bunch of sums, then close it.  That would also be one session.  I find that, in practice, I often enter data, then delete it or change it and end up with my finished equation.  Then I'm done with OC so I close it.  It should save a history of only what was there when I close the app (the other stuff I deleted or changed is irrelevant and doesn't need to be recalled).  If OC could remember even the one most-resent calculation it would be good.  I'd say 90% of the time it's the most recent calculation the I need to revisit.   

I guess you could have a pref option to "Remember the 'N' number of most recent sessions..."  Click the History Button once for the last session to be inserted at the top of the window.  Click it a second time for the next-most-resent to inserted above that, and so on.

Also note:  I'm not sure how this would work with the 5-line free version....  Maybe as OC added history items, the bottom-most calculations would get pushed down and anything below line 5 would get truncated(?)  Also, if there were Line References Such as "Total = Line 5 +1," they'd have to be update.  (i.e. If one line of history were added, it would become "Total + Line 6 + 1.") 

Did I explain that coherently?

That's cool.  Thanks for posting.  I've tried to self-teach a couple of times and always end up getting frustrated and giving up...  Maybe will try again.  Each time I try to lean, I retain a couple more things...  If I live to be 1000 years old, I might even be proficient enough to write a program!   :P

@Andy:  No kidding!  I just found this http://office.micros...cel-HP010014103.aspx  Apparently Excel 2007 has 13 different clipboard formats (21 if you count the different extensions).

...and as regards the "history/memory", do you mean referring to a particular line, like "line 3"? ...
  No, what I meant by 'history' is that a session would automatically be saved upon exit.  I do see that you already have a "Save" function, which is nice, but I often don't think I'll need to re-visit a calculation when, later, I then do.    For example yesterday I calculate 2+2, but don't think I need to save it.  Then, sure enough, today I run in to 2+2 again, or worse, I can't even remember what the two numbers were that I had needed to sum.  It would be nice if OC saved those in memory, then I could just activate the "Show history" command and it would show me.  I guess there'd need to be an option to tell OC how many days to keep history items before purging them.  Otherwise you'd get hundreds accumulated, slowing down performance.  Also, (my thinking is) as long as the data was saved at exit, it could be pulled off of disk by OC when needed.  Therefore it wouldn't need to affect startup performance (i.e. it wouldn't get automatically loaded into RAM). 

Also, RE that 'Saturation/Tint' slider:  I see what you mean about it working as both "Saturation" and to change color...    Pretty cool implementation!

OpalCalc is AWESOME!  I registered it a few weeks ago after using the free version for a long time  (years?)
Mostly I can only say good things about it.  It works the way my brain thinks.  I guess the only feature that I'd really like to see is a history/memory of previous calculations.  This should only be implemented if you can do it without causing a performance lag, though.  

Another "what if" idea I had was to implement a "workday" function.  The idea would be to have an .ini file of holiday dates in the program folder.  Then you could have a function like in spreadsheets.  =WORKDAY()  Would be cool.  In truth, I probably wouldn't use it often.  I would use a history function though  :)

EDIT:  I just installed the newest version, and yes, it is faster!  I like the new Volcano skin.  I think that we can all agree it looks awesome with the Jupiter skin I have going http://i.imgur.com/7zvzP.jpg  <wink>  ;)    I'm not sure if the 'Saturation' sliders work as expected though.  They seem to change the tint somewhat, rather than "saturation" per se.... 



(note: The inner colors are the OpalCalc skin and the window border is a WindowBlinds customization based on my wallpaper--which is a pic of Jupiter I scored on Reddit.  The extra window border buttons are ActualWindowManager, which I won in a drawing here on DC.)

Cool.  I didn't even know about the "copy as..." feature.

I know Office 2003 does have "paste special" options (in think in the Edit > Paste menu). 
Maybe there are some "copy special" items too..

Excel does have the ability to "paste as image."

Though it might only work from within an Office app....  I'm sure you'd be able to "paste special" into an Outlook message.

Not sure if this will display correctly...
This would be a possible setup where there is a list of cells and you want the first word of each cell attached to the end of another text string.
Col A is the text
Cols B and C are "behind the scenes" and should be hidden.

My guess would be that this could be used in conjunction with Excel2Html.

Does anyone know how BRU compares with ReNamer http://www.den4b.com...&product=renamer ?
I actually use xplorer2 for 99% of my renaming... 
Recently I needed to remove a string of text from multiple file names.
x2 wasn't able to do it, but RN was.  It was also nice because it "pre-checked" all of the files and told in before the actual rename, if there were going to be any conflicts...  (x2 will preview the first 2 or 3, but doesn't show errors).

Hover Zoom.

Actually I was just playing around with some disjointed screenshots of my computer.  The fancypants one that I referenced above from GAOTD (which supposedly retails for $99!!!) doesn't even handle PNG files.  It just causes an error.  However ICE stitched everything together quite nicely.

..., they perform blending and distortion because they cannot map the pixels 1:1 (different perspective projections, different brightness and contrast on different photos). If you actually feed them "ideal" pictures where 1:1 mapping is possible, would they still distort the result? My naive guess would be that they won't.
  This is also what I was thinking...  Especially the Microsoft ICE one.  It lets you choose how flat the image should be.  I would imagine there could be problems though, if different sub-components don't have enough visual info (such as a near empty space in the ocean). 
449
No doubt you've tried Right-Clicking the map and choosing "Save Image As..."
You might actually be able to take the overlapping shots (if there aren't too many), crop away any window boarders, Make the canvas in SSC really big, then drag the different images around next to each other (manually) until the edges line up.
450
Coincidentally, there is a stitcher at GAOTD today.
http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/
It might have the same color-blending problem you're describing above though...

Is there a way you can using the new 'Scrolling Capture' mode in ScreenShot Captor to achieve when you want in one capture?
