Finished Programs / Re: DONE: Toggle mouse acceleration with a simple program
« Last post by skwire on April 30, 2010, 09:07 AM »
would it be asking too much if the user could pick their own cursors to use.
-nudone (April 30, 2010, 08:00 AM)

I actually don't use this app myself but, yes, I plan to have this configurable on MAT's command-line since there is no real GUI to speak of.

i'd be very happy to edit/design some cursors to include - if this is possible.
-nudone (April 30, 2010, 06:52 AM)

Yes, this can be done so feel free to send me any test .ANI/.CUR files you want to use.  I like the idea of a standard cursor with small numbers the best.

« Last post by skwire on April 30, 2010, 06:54 AM »
yes, that is perfect. i've not tried it with my mouse buttons to activate it (toggle) yet but it looks like it will do it.
it also does more than i could ever have hoped for - with the extra speed control. that opens up so many more levels or control. brilliant.
(i'll let mouser know - he might like this on his system too.)
-nudone (April 30, 2010, 06:32 AM)

Sweet.  =]  I'm glad it'll work for you.

as usual, i've had a quick scan through the autohotkey forums and i can't decide if this is something near impossible or quite trivial.
-nudone (April 30, 2010, 05:53 AM)

As an aside, you'd be shocked at how little code there is in this app.

General Software Discussion / Re: refresh all open browsers automatically?
« Last post by skwire on April 30, 2010, 06:52 AM »
if you don't mind, maybe i'll try and modify the browser refresh script into a little tray app - just with a menu for selecting browsers or something. it would give me something to play with and learn autohotkey.
-nudone (April 30, 2010, 06:43 AM)

By all means, please do.  I'm happy to help if you get stuck, too.

excellent. it now appears to work (it got stuck a couple of times but i can't say why).
i've just changed the SendInput to F5 as Maxthon didn't want to respond (even after making sure that ctrl+R did work for it).
-nudone (April 30, 2010, 05:29 AM)

Who knows?   :D  That's how these scriptlets go sometimes.  You could play with the sleep value a bit to see if that helps.

perhaps this should be included on Skwire Empire - i think it's a really helpful web development util. i still don't understand why there hasn't been something like this around for years.
-nudone (April 30, 2010, 05:29 AM)

*shrug* Honestly, that above code  is very simple and could be set as a hotkey in your main AHK script (if you use one).  Bits like this really show off how flexible and powerful AHK is as a language.

i'll send some DC credits later - just waiting for them to go into my account first.
thanks very much for this, skwire.
-nudone (April 30, 2010, 05:29 AM)

You are most welcome.  Happy to help.   :)

would it make a difference if the process performed slower?
-nudone (April 30, 2010, 03:29 AM)

No, it shouldn't.

i've 3 other autohotkey scripts running at the same time - could these be challenging this browser refresh script in some way?
-nudone (April 30, 2010, 03:29 AM)

Nope.  However, if you don't mind, I could re-write it so that each window is focused first and then dealt with.  Is this acceptable?

i'm using vista so maybe that's the problem.
-nudone (April 29, 2010, 10:17 AM)

Could be...but I don't see why that would make such a huge difference in this case.

oh, one other thing - does it matter if i have lots of non browser windows open at the same time? i should have mentioned that in the first place. sorry.
-nudone (April 29, 2010, 10:17 AM)

No, that shouldn't matter.  The code:

1) Scans through all open processes.
2) Gets their window title and class.
3) Matches against a few lists.
4) Sends an F5 (Ctrl-R in some cases) keystroke to the parent window.

Could you make an option to disable that album cover pic thing? I do not want to look at words No cover. Sometimes I have some pics in the folder with songs, so Trout uses one of them and shows it like it is a album cover pic, but it is not and it does not have anything to do with a song.
-panzer (April 24, 2010, 02:39 AM)

Apologies for the late reply.  Sure, I can add an option to disable the album art.  I've also been meaning to add an option that will allow the user to specify a "no cover" image of their own.

Great player, by the way.
-panzer (April 24, 2010, 02:39 AM)

I was wondering if for multiple files selected is possible to have for the first option "move all the files into a subfolder named:" a list of the names taken from the files and the default name would be the one chose with the right click?
-gebeleisis (April 25, 2010, 05:13 PM)

This is an interesting idea that I'm hesitant to implement because of a potentially high number of selected files.  For example, if a user had thousands of files selected, this would cause a rather noticeable delay for your list to be populated.  Does that make sense?

Once again, thank u for a wonderful app!

I assumed you were the original author of this program.  All I can say is that it's still not working properly for me.  Your description above is correct.  Try it yourself.
-sb06794 (April 16, 2010, 11:03 PM)

It works for me under XP SP2.  As a test, I set the menu delay for two seconds and the enable delay for one second.  Holding down the caps lock key for two seconds brings up the menu whilst releasing the caps lock key within the last second toggles the caps lock key.  Anybody else using CAPshift care to test this?
