Thank you sooo much!
I love these widget things, but they're always big fat monsters taking half of my computer's little memory.
But avedesk is very clean, not resource-consuming at all (1.4 physical memory.. i like it! :D) and looks good!
Now i have a nice,big sticky on my desktop with a few things to remember ;)
Good post!  :Thmbsup: :Thmbsup:

LaunchBar Commander / Re: testers post your first impressions here
« Last post by jgpaiva on March 03, 2006, 10:06 AM »
One small proposition:
When the bar is minimized to the tray, it has no tooltip on hover.
This means that it isn't identified in the tray properties to make it not appear, or something like that.
And also, if you have 2 bars with the same icon on the tray, you can't distinguish them.
(I know it's a bit of a stupid request, but it's more for a matter of coherence)

I didn't time it, but I'd say 2 minutes, maybe.
2 minutes? That's way too much... I'm sure there's some tools for that that would work faster.
But still, it's good to know it worked! ;)
I don't know if you've read the code, but it's very simple, and the problem there is that the algorithm makes the file be read from the beggining to the end lots of times, and that takes too much time.
There are better ways to do it, but they would be too complex for the real use this tool has.

Developer's Corner / Re: fascinating game ideas - an rpg based on healing
« Last post by jgpaiva on March 03, 2006, 05:37 AM »
That's an idea, as feasible as any other.
Actually, a similar idea has been developed. Some years ago, bullfrog released theme hospital (information here) which was a game based on the construction of an hospital, and the objectives were healing as much persons as possible (it was similar to sim city, so the real objective was having much money as possible and still have everyone happy ;) )

As for the rpg idea, I don't think it'd be as appealing as world of warcraft or games like that. Simply because violence (not that wow is about violence, but it definitely isn't about healing ;)) sells better than peace, that's common knowledge.
I'm not a fan of RPG's (actually, right now I only play TrackMania Nations, the most entertaining FREE game I know), but I would more easily play wow than an rpg based on healing.

just my 2 cents ;)

How about changing this topic's name to "Members 100'th posts", so as people can post here their 100th post, and talk about their experience? (eheh... these crazy ideas must be because of the advanced hour ;) )

« Last post by jgpaiva on March 02, 2006, 07:25 PM »
Yep, everything seems to be right now. Good to know that! ;)
Just a few notes about the "trigger" field:
- to have the word be immediatelly replaced after you write it, add no trigger.
- to have a space as trigger, put Space in the "trigger" field.
- to have a tab as trigger, put Tab in the "trigger" field.
- to have a comma (,) as trigger, put `, in the "trigger" field.
- tiggers like LWin (for the left windows key) or LCtrl (for the left ctrl), can also be used.  For a complete list of the possible trigger keys, check http://www.autohotke...com/docs/KeyList.htm Most of the keys featured at this list should work as triggers.

(BTW, did you try the repeated entries search on that huge file you have? I'm curious if it works in an acceptable time.)
Oh, and another thing: With the latest version of ahk, you don't get the "repeated hotstrings" error, it simply uses the last hotstring found on the file. So, be carefull as the script might work, but some of the hotstrings can be ignored if you don't check for repeated entries first.

Yet another update.
Today I had some free time, so I tested thoroughlly the script, and found out that the earlier versions didn't behave correctlly. When the person didn't put the trigger after writing the hotstring, the string would still be deleted. That didn't make sense.
So, this is the last version.
I tested it as much as I could, and everything looks right.
Now, it stores the options chosen in the last execution in one ini file, checks for the existance of the file it's about to write, I have fixed one issue with the trigger time, and now if you don't press the trigger key, the string isn't replaced.
I just hope this is the last *fix* update I have to do. Sorry, but please download the latest version from the post above.

Alternative suggestion for finding duplicate triggers: maybe something like a simple AWK script
**Error: Problem Found: AWK not found under "knowledge" database ;)
But if you can do it, please do! :)

Next suggestion - documentation  :D
Yep, that might be a good idea, but as you can see, this started out only as being a small script. I expect to improve it over time :D

Grr.. Why? But oh why??
I'm so inattentive, it's unbelievable.
I've updated the post above with the functioning version.
(Now it prevents the overwrite of the "filetowrite", and prompts you before deleting it for writing.)
I hope it doesn't have errors now ;)

Well, Harrie.. In attachment is what looks like the last funcional and complete version of this script.
Notice that it's more recent than the one I sent you through e-mail for testing. Now, I fixed the gui (the listview didn't come all the way down, and some buttons weren't aligned) and reused some code to reduce the file size (and general confusion ;)).
I also made another script, that allows you to check a file for repeated entries of a string.
This other script, although functional, doesn't tell you how many times the string is repeated and might preform *very* slowly with big files

35 pages worth of phrases when I opened it with MS Word
(so, better leave that one out ;) )

I don't know what's happening to you, but it seems mouser is quite sure, you should try his solution.
In the meanwhile, you could try blackbox for windows. It's one of the best explorer replacement shells, and if you use directory opus, you won't have to deal with explorer anymore. (It won't even be loaded at the computer's startup if you install blackbox).
I've used it for a few years and it's much more stable than explorer.

The way it handles the ambience is just perfect, and all the liberty the user has to change and go through the cenario is just impressive.
Oh, and the cenario.. At the end, the God powers are genious. It generates new scenarios and worlds that evolve based on the changes you've done to the scenario before. That's original ;)

Oops.. Sorry, I understood that trigger key would be the key before the hotstring.
No problems.
It is now modified, with the Trigger key at the end, and the tooltip appears before you hit the trigger. If you don't hit it for 3 seconds, or don't hit it at all, it isn't replaced. :D

Instructions:
This is the new gui:
screenshot.png
On the left, there is the list of the several hotstrings located on the file listed under "file to read".
This uses a listview, which means you can list the hotstrings by name if you think there are some repeated ones (although probably tomorrow i'll do a version that checks for that ;)).

"Create File!" button, immediatelly creates the new hotstrings file, using the options that are displayed.

Trigger editbox let's you choose which trigger to use. Leaving it blank means there is no trigger and the hotstrings are used right after you write them.

Time for the tooltip edit box lets you choose the time you want the tooltip to be displayed, for every hotstring.

File to write editbox has the name of the file to write. This can be either a relative to the location of the script path, or an absolute path.

File to read editbox has the name of the file to read. This can be either a relative to the location of the script path, or an absolute path.

The "Reload" button makes the gui be reloaded with the new options, which basically means that the listview will display the hotstrings from the "file to read" edit box, in case you've changed it.
You don't have to reload to apply the "file to read" option, you can change it and click "create file!", but the listview will only be updated if the reload button is pressed.

If the trigger method is used, the generated hotsrings script will be case-sensitive. Please check this post for more information!

All the default configurations can be changed in the source file, in the variables at the beggining of the code, as in prior versions.

Selecting the non-gui version will use the default values, and closing the gui will cancel the creation of the new file.

Hope you like it! :D

You can change all the paramters and hit [enter] (or the create file! button), and it will generate the hotstrings file.
If you change the file to read, you might want to reload the hotstrings list, that's what the "reload" button is for.
(notice that to disable the tooltip, you can just set the time to '0', and it won't appear ;))

minimized apps in the launch bar, interesting.
As I said in the review, it looks interesting. But It doesn't work very well, and not having the taskbar functionality (i.e. not displaying all the tasks), makes it more anoying than useful. :(
Oh, and another interesting thing: The minimized app is represented in the bar not by a icon, but by a screenshot of the active window :D

filetoread=textfile.txt
;file to write contains the name of the file to write
filetowrite=hotstringsScript.ahk
;to add a trigger, put it after the '='.please notice that colons have to be added like this: `,

replaced:=result2
FileAppend,:o*:%trigger%%replaceable%::`nSend`,%replaced%`nTooltip`,%replaced%`nSleep`,%tooltiptime%`nTooltip`,`nreturn`n`n,%filetowrite%
}
return
(notice you can change the tooltip display time)
The repeated entries checker can be done, but possibly it'd make more sense as another script.
The tooltip with the completions of the hotstring would have to be presented at autohotkey.com or to DC's ahk expert, Skrommel ;)

I'm so taken away with this place, it is a wonderful site.  
My feelings exactlly ;)

I'm only waiting until I'm a bit more familiar here, so that when I say what I have to say, I do it well.
