since the conversation changed into an Alt-Tab switcher, how about this AHK-based Alt-Tab replacement.

f0dder, do you want to switch keyboard layout whenever a certain program is active or only upon start? i can basically convert this script to what you want, what do you think?

i've changed the email apps from radio button to drop-down lists.. btw, i haven't forgotten your suggestions but i'm planning to do some work on the custom window first and newer apps like Outlook 2007 will be supported under custom winTitle.. if all goes well, the feature will work like this: you put the titles of programs as they appear on your desktop & CAYT will pop-up when they are detected. the syntax could be this way: new file -|New Message|untitled



as for the cut-off text, can you try clicking on the Cody pic from the main gui and let me know by posting a screenshot if the text is still being cut-off..

about CAYT failing to re-open, did you close the compose window 1st or CAYT? i actually had put in a flag so that CAYT doesn't pop-up if it is closed while the compose window is open. the rationale was that the users need some breathing space..

also, the CPU problem looks like it's something that i have to refer to at the AHK forums.. don't worry, keep those feedbacks coming..

General Software Discussion / Re: screenshot captor cant save movie images!!!!

« Last post by lanux128 on September 02, 2007, 05:25 AM »

to capture video image reliably, it's better to use the media player's internal command. for instance, KMPlayer, VLC, Media Player Classic & etc all have their own method of capturing still images..

lol, don't worry i'm not going to.. but just curious, wouldn't the ASUS card hold up against G3?

Gothic 3 is on another PC that has a NX 7600GT (256MB DDR3).. that is a mid-range card but performs quite admirably on a 'High' settings in G3..

ok, here is one by Skrommel - MouseActivate.. it sends mouse-clicks when left inactive on a window.. maybe this can be modified to trigger only when the mouse is on the taskbar only..

re-reading your post, i realized that i didn't register the taskbar button thingy completely.. KatMouse can't activate a window by hovering on the taskbar button.. however, a small AHK script could do that.. i'm going to check if it's not already on Skrommel's arsenal..

another comments request, how good are these cards?

• ASUS GF 8500GT (256MB/DDR2/128bit)
• Gigabyte 7300GT Silent-Pipe (256MB/DDR2/128bit)
• Winfast 8500GT (256MB/DDR2/128bit)

couldn't find a proper review.. too cheap, i guess for the manufacturer to find a reviewer..

when i looked into the "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\DonationCoder\DcUpdater\RedirectFiles" folder, there was only "FindAndRunRobot.dcupdateredirect" file.. and when i launched DCU, it shows only Farr & DCU as installed..

can i manually create *.dcupdateredirect files and put them in the "RedirectFiles" folder?

thanks katkilla, will try your tip.. mouser, apparently this problem was introduced with version 1.23.01 because i am trying out on another PC and the previous version (1.20.03) did not show this behaviour..

another program that does the same: Shove-it.

Shove-it fixes this bug by monitoring your application windows and correcting any that stray out of the desktop bounds. The way it does this is user configurable, and it can even re-size a window to fit on the desktop if necessary.

Shove-it normally runs as a background program performing its magic diligently without any user intervention. To change the Shove-it program Properties, right-click the Shove-it icon that appears in the taskbar tray (next to the clock) and select Properties from the menu. Or, if you have the tray icon turned off, just run Shove-it a 2nd time and the Properties dialog will appear.

yeah, it sucks when after two years of tweaking & configuring, the program becomes abandon-ware.. i've had similar experiences before.. hmm, maybe i should start a new thread..
