Built using my CodyBones skeleton code that I've used in some other apps.

Supports synchronization over dropbox and widget support.

Living Room / 2016 Interactive Fiction Competition (classic text adventure games, etc.)

« Last post by mouser on October 05, 2016, 09:33 PM »

The RockPaperShotgun blog has a nice blog post up today heralding the unveiling of the entries in the 2016 Interactive Fiction Competition (classic text adventure games, etc.).

This year, IF Comp 2016 opened with 58 entries, the largest selection of new games in its history. The presence of all these great new games is only part of what makes IF Comp exciting. It’s also a time when the IF community comes together to comment, review, and give feedback... And now you’re invited, at whatever level of involvement you like. You can play any of the games for free.

Developer's Corner / Dropbox needs an option for api sharing of folders based on password

« Last post by mouser on October 05, 2016, 09:16 PM »

I've been using dropbox to allow synchronization of app data for my android apps, and I'm quite happy with the API and the process in general.

But there is one substantial problem with it.

There is no way to say that you'd like to allow a group of people (via a shared password for example) to have write access to a folder (and only that folder).

If that could be done, it would be possible to do something like install an android app and tell your 5 friends that they can sync their data with you, for that app only.

As it currently stands, my android apps can only synchronize with someone who also has write-access to your same dropbox account.  Essentially this means you can only sync and share with your own multiple devices, not with other people.

It would be great if dropbox could add a feature that allowed you to designate a folder as writeable by different people, as long as they all had some access key/password.

PBOL / Re: Android version of Progress Bars of Life

All of my android apps have sync via dropbox.
But PBOL Android will use different data files than the desktop version so they won't be compatible.

Looks like there is a specific board for the Onion Omega to interface with a battery pack: https://wiki.onion.i...Using-the-Power-Dock

« Last post by mouser on October 04, 2016, 10:52 PM »

fair enough, im open to using larger batteries.. i guess my question is are there any of these tinypcs that are really really designed for minimal power use.  Clearly Raspberry Pi would not make the great.  I'm not sure how much power Arduino draws..

i'd love to see a comparison chart of the time they can run on batteries..

Are there any of these tiny computers that will run a significantly long time (say 24+ hours continuously) on a pair of AA batteries?

Screenshot Captor / Re: Send to Trello or Send to GitHub

« Last post by mouser on October 04, 2016, 10:03 PM »

I definitely need to add more uploading options to Screenshot Captor.

Having said that, a main design motivation for me was to be able to support 3rd party tools, and I've tried to make it easy to use such tools from within Screenshot Captor.

So, if you can find a context menu shell extension that can upload files to those services, you can simply right-click on the thumbnail of the image in Screenshot Captor to utilize such a tool.
And/or if you can find a tool that can take a commandline filepath to specify the file to upload, you can configure such a tool for use with Screenshot Captor (and in fact we can share such commandline-tool wrappers).

So the first question should be, are there existing commandline or shell-extension tools for uploading to these services?

Well, it looks like I'll probably be doing an Android version of Progress Bars of Life this year.  If anyone has any suggestions for it please share them.

General Software Discussion / Re: Number of monitors (or virtual monitors) and productivity

« Last post by mouser on October 04, 2016, 01:39 AM »

im a big fan of multiple monitors (2-4), but not huge monitors like you are talking.  27" is about as large as i would want, and i think there are diminishing returns after 3 or 4 monitors.

Clipboard Help+Spell / Re: CLIPBOARD HELP+SPELL LATEST VERSION INFO THREAD - v2.34.0 - Jan 4, 2016

« Last post by mouser on October 03, 2016, 05:01 AM »

how is CHS's performance once the database gets large such as 400MB+?

That's a good question, but i don't know the answer.. If there is interest we could find out -- I could write a function that generates some random clip data and we can see how it performs.

My suspicion is that, assuming the clips are in different "folders", so that it's not trying to sort and search 400mb of data at a time, that CHS will perform pretty well, but that's just my guess.  It's also quite possible that it performs very similarly to ClipCache... A factor involved here is how many clips there are (a relatively small number of large clips will perform better i would guess than a million clips).

What I will say is that CHS does try to "help" you not accumulate 400mb worth of clip data, by employing configurable options that will automatically move default (non-favorited) captured clips by default from new to old to trash groups.

As for importing, CHS doesn't have a way to import clips (though it can export them).  I would be willing to write a simple import function if you can get your data out of your existing program in a fairly clean and simple format.  The easiest would be one line per clip, with a line being just the clip text, no extra data like date, etc.

I can't do any code highlighting at all in the forum unless I type in the tag and style. Used to be able to select text and then select the Code Highlighting and it would do it.

ah you're right.. well that's been broken for a year then.. i will fix.

Yeah, I'm not sure that live resorting after adjusting score is going to work, for a bunch of reasons.. I have performance concerns as well as concerns about moving around the item being edited..

I could add a "Resort items now" entry to the View menu though.

Can the last modification date be shown too (optionally ofc)? It's a sort selection, but I can't see it yet

not currently. i might consider putting a button on the Edit dialog to pop up a window showing all internal data for an item including last modification date.
