sometimes I'd love to know what that last image was / where it is located (I've got a lot of photos).

This has been requested before for my Multi Photo Quotes screensaver system, and it wouldn't be hard for me to add.

Whether that's useful to you depends entirely on whether you use MPQ.

It can be hard for programmers to come up with good ideas for programs to write. Do you have an idea for a program you'd like to see someone code for our NANY 2017 event?  Post it here!

This will be the 10th 11th NANY? Damn.
It would be nice if we could get an alternate mug design to offer this year.. Anyone up for it? 
Maybe we can offer t-shirts this time too, for those who are overflowing with mugs

N.A.N.Y. 2017 / N.A.N.Y. 2017 Announcement

« Last post by mouser on September 01, 2016, 03:33 PM »

Since 2007 we have held an annual event that we call NANY (New Apps for the New Year), where we ask the coders who hang out on DonationCoder to create some new piece of free software and share it with the world on January 1st of the new year.

NANY is really the funnest thing we do on this site, and it's one of the few times we can all play together.  There are no winners or losers, it's simply a celebration of programming and creating new software and sharing it with the world.  You can target any operating system (desktop or mobile) or even make a web-based tool.  It can be a game, utility, large application, whatever.  DC takes makes no claim on your software, it's just an event to encourage you to share a creation with others.  Best of all, everyone who participates gets a free commemorative coffee mug.

• Browse the NANY 2017 entries and submit a new on here: https://www.donation...ndex.php?board=325.0

Yeah it may require a little more careful watching on our part, but these things seem to come in waves.. they try an approach for a while until they come to accept that someone is paying attention and killing their posts before they take root, and then they die off until the next round.

That isn't a new threat is it? It's just another thing spammers have always done.  It just requires a little more thought to figure out if they are a spammer, but the punishment is the same: delete and ban

Go to the Print Options tab in Screenshot captor and uncheck the checkbox for "Add automatic caption to every printed image".

For #1, to remove the zoom box, uncheck the second checkbox on the "Selection Capture Options" tab, labeled "Show zoom panel under cursor".

For #2, can you elaborate on if the delay happens on every capture, even if you do multiple in a row.. or if it only happens if you don't use SC for many hours.
If it happens on capturing active windows, try unchecking the second checkbox on the "Window Capturing 1" tab labeled "Try to capture Aero Glass transparency effects".
If it happens only if you haven't used SC in a long while, you could try changing the "Inactive Memory Use" option on the "Startup Options" tab.

If it's open source, the easiest and best thing would be for someone to modify the program to add the feature you are interested in.

Clipboard Help+Spell / Re: How to consolidate separate/disparate CHS databases into a single one?

« Last post by mouser on August 28, 2016, 02:56 PM »

What happens to image clips? Can they be migrated with the database, or do they get left behind?

good question.

Images are stored as normal files, sorted into subdirectories by date.  You can see that if you go to the File menu and choose "Browse Clip Image Directory".
The text notes associated with an image are stored in the database as normal, as well as the path to the image file.

So if you merged clips the images would migrate over if their location didn't change.  If you merged clips from another computer, you'd have to move over the image files as well, possibly changing the paths to the image files if they have changed.

If an image can no longer be found (for example if user deletes it) then it will still be listed in the clip list database, it's just the image won't be available.

There is no way to do what you want currently, since CHS was never intended to work with multiple databases.

If I had to support this, perhaps the cleanest way is to add an import operation to the existing export operation.  So the process would be: Export from your secondary CHS database, delete all the rows you don't want imported into your main database, then import into your main database.

window titles are pretty easy to monitor.  i believe system tray icons would be much harder to do.
