Screenshot Captor / Re: Quick Capture Bar disapears Windows 10

« Last post by mouser on March 28, 2016, 06:31 AM »

Thank you for the nice comments!

When you say the Quick Capture Bar disappears, can you clarify?

It is made to sometimes slide out of the way.  Have you tried moving the mouse to where it should be and see if it pops back into view?  Perhaps try minimizing other windows first so nothing could be blocking it.

Do you have a multiple-monitors or otherwise change resolution of the screen that might be triggering it?

Just trying to get a handle on what might be happening...

Clipboard Help+Spell / Re: CHS Note field display disappears [Bug?]

As you come to rely on CHS, I hope you treat your CHS data as you do any important data, and include it in your regular backup schedule -- both the current database and the versioned backup files that CHS makes automatically.

Skwire Empire / Re: Release: sWeather (tray-based weather app)

Downloaded.. Appears to be working.  That was fast work upgrading that!!!!

Sending some donationcredits -- and I suggest other sWeather users do the same to show some appreciation for such a fast non-trivial fix -- it doesn't get any better than that.

can you give us a screenshot of your "Email SendTo List" settings in sc -- or summarize them? (making sure to blur out any password if you have it set).

How strange!

I have been unable to determine the steps I need to take to cause the error, so, though I have a useful workaround to it that works every time, the error itself is not deliberately repeatable.

yuck, i hate those.

But based on your description of the fix, i may be able to track down the problem.  Looking into it now.

Living Room / Samarost 3 - Beautiful charming computer game - is out today

« Last post by mouser on March 24, 2016, 05:41 PM »

One of the first games ever discussed on this forum, back in 2005, was Samarost -- a truly beautiful, different, charming, relaxing, hand-animated point-and-click adventure game about a little fellow who traveled in space.

Samarost 3 became available today and it looks like it's going to be another charmer.

Rock Paper Shotgun says: "Samorost 3 is so bursting with life, so lovingly crafted, that it’s impossible not to adore. I cannot think of a game whose soundtrack comes close to this, and few that are so pretty. Gnome’s yelps of delight, or enthusiastic dances, or the way he sometimes says, “Hop!” when he jumps, are idiotically adorable. It’s so alive, so intricate, and so graceful. I wonder if the difficulty will see it be a less celebrated game than the last two, but it really is a thing of beauty."

http://samorost3.net/

Samarost really does feel different than most of the point and click games you see on the internet.. it feels like you are experiencing a game from a different culture.. or a different planet..  I can't wait to try it.

Announce Your Software/Service/Product / Re: Copywhiz 5 Launched - File copy tool for Windows with crazy features

I have deleted a couple of your posts from today that were made to very old threads.

Can you please correct the other posts that i have left alive from today to make them simply refer to your main announcement thread.

Announce Your Software/Service/Product / Re: Copywhiz 5 Launched - File copy tool for Windows with crazy features

« Last post by mouser on March 24, 2016, 08:00 AM »

Jibz is right.

It's not helpful to make multiple posts with the details of the new version.

For many reasons.  For example it makes each of those posts places where people might think they should reply and ask about more information.

It also feels a lot like spam to readers when you make so many posts.
AND it looks a lot like spam to search engines like google when there is so much duplicated "advertisements".

The proper thing to do is make ONE post with the details about the new relase, and then in other threads which you feel are highly relevant and are recent, you can make a post saying something like:

"You might want to check out a shareware program i am involved in called copywhiz, which has just released a new version (5) which i have posted about here [link]."

Additionally, when there are so many threads that you feel are relevant, you need to pick just one or two that are most recent to post on and let the others age out gracefully, rather than revive old threads.

Screenshot Captor / Re: prt sc not working

« Last post by mouser on March 23, 2016, 01:14 PM »

see https://www.donation....msg392939#msg392939

that thread suggests to go to dropbox options and enable prtscr then disable it.

maybe a reboot would help too?

It's probably another program that is stealing the PrtScr hotkey.  Do you have dropbox running? It has a default option to capture the PrtScr hotkey.

That could be true. Hardware is better (way better) but sometimes a active community of developers are important.
Is useless have the cutting edge hardware with buggy software.

very well said.  give me the slower hardware but better community and software support every time.

I don't read it as saying it will stop functioning after 6 months -- only that you won't be able to update it.

On a related note: is there a keyboard shortcut to copy file to clipboard (ctrl-c copies only file name to clipboard). @mouser: can this be included in FARR at some point?

this seems like a very good idea. what hotkey would you like?

Question: Can i confirm that the problem happens regardless of whether you are using the TinyEv plugin to find files, or normal farr search (or in fact farr direct directory listing)?

Let me do some tests, and see if something jumps out at me in the way i'm doing drag+drop -- as i said i do have a faint memory of an issue that should be easy to check for.
I may email you a test version to try.

Find And Run Robot / Re: Problem with dragging and dropping files from FARR window into Outlook

« Last post by mouser on March 19, 2016, 11:44 PM »

if you use farr to find an IMAGE file (say a png), can you drag that file from farr to outlook?
if not, then it really does seem like it may be a limitation in the way farr is initiating a drag+drop, which may have worked in the past but is being ignored by the new version of outlook.  very strange but i can double check how farr is delivering the dragged file.

i do have a faint memory of a drag+drop issue once that was failing because of an extra \ or / in the file path which most programs didn't object to but some did.  it may be a similar problem -- if so it could be an easy fix on my end.
