General Software Discussion / Re: DLS: Mozilla publishes name and shame list of slow Firefox add-ons

« Last post by Winkie on April 04, 2011, 02:06 PM »

Nice find Lanux!

how many of the addons do you use?
-lanux128 (April 04, 2011, 07:01 AM)

With my still-default Firefox 3.6: 53
With my soon-to-be-default Firefox 4.0: 47

So a count of add-ons on the list used with both leads to... 9

, no surprise they are on the list for most of these.

Surprises on the list, IMHO:
#17 Personas Plus, a Mozilla Labs add-on...
#18 Flagfox
#27 Web Developer
#28 Colorzilla
#42 Stylish, is relatively low. But I'll guess that also depends on the amount of styles that has to loaded and whether they are XUL-styles or not...

Allows to change the search shortcut. After the comedy with Panorama taking over CTRL+E, then switching to CTRL+SHIFT+E, without restoring CTRL+E, I've decided to make this very simple plug-in to allow people to choose their own shortcut.

N.A.N.Y. 2009 / Re: NANY 2009 Release: Trout (audio player)

« Last post by Winkie on February 24, 2011, 02:00 PM »

Trout has a portion of the Winamp API built into it for this purpose. ... The following messages are supported:
40001 - Close
40022 - Toggle repeat
40023 - Toggle shuffle
40029 - Add files box
40044 - Previous track
40045 - Play/Pause
40048 - Next track
40058 - Volume up
40059 - Volume down
40144 - Seek backward
40148 - Seek forward
40155 - Add URL
40187 - Add folder box

You can use standard Windows SendMessage commands to control Trout in this way.
-skwire (February 18, 2011, 05:31 PM)

Just to clarify: those are WM_COMMAND values. (hex code 0x111) In AutoHotkey it would look like this:

Code: Autohotkey [Select]

; Toggle shuffle
PostMessage, 0x111, 40023, , , ahk_class Winamp v1.x

Ok this is useful if I want send a command to the player but if I want to get the title and the infos of a currently played song?
-Armoured (February 18, 2011, 05:45 PM)

For that you can use WM_USER values of the Winamp API (hex code 0x400).
This already works with Trout:
104 - Returns the status of playback. If 'return' is 1, it's playing. If 'return' is 3, it's paused. Otherwise, playback is stopped.
105 - If 'data' is 0, returns the position in milliseconds of playback. If 'data' is 1, returns current track length in seconds.
An example of message 105 in AHK:

Code: Autohotkey [Select]

; Get Current Track Lenght
SendMessage, 0x400, 1, 105, , ahk_class Winamp v1.x
iTrackLenRaw := ErrorLevel
; Get Current Track Posistion
SendMessage, 0x400, 0, 105, , ahk_class Winamp v1.x
iTrackPos := ErrorLevel

Standard Winamp API has no message for querying the current track title IIRC. (Doesn't mean Trout cannot have one, as a unified approach(?) $:-\$ )

If there is a certain message within the Winamp API that you would like to see supported, let me know and I'll see if I can add it.
-skwire (February 18, 2011, 05:31 PM)

Skwire, glad you asked. I already thought of asking you for some additions:
WM_COMMAND:
40154 - Go to the begin of the playlist immediately [Hmm... shame, this feature doesn't exist in Trout?]
40158 - Go to the end of the playlist immediately [but who would want that?]
WM_USER:
122 - Sets the volume to 'data', which can be between 0 (silent) and 255 (maximum)
124 - Returns length of the current playlist, in tracks
125 - Returns the position in the current playlist, in tracks
250 - Query shuffle status: 0=off, 1=on

I use WM_USER 124, 125 and 250 in a frequent used AHK-script, so implementing these is highly appreciated.

Greetings, Winkie

I always thought I didn't need a different chm reader. Using these for 5 minutes proofed otherwise...

Main reason I'm gonna use kchmviewer instead of the standard HTML Help Viewer is:
* Tabs! (UltraChm has none)
* The ability to open external links in my default browser.

UltraChm will stay installed for times I need to extract individual pages or have to take notes.

-lanux128 (February 04, 2011, 04:35 AM)

But, it's a pity that the review is about the initial version. Although it may be hard to see from it's version number, the functionality of Ten Timer is improved significantly.

(Thanks again, Skwire!)

N.A.N.Y. 2011 / Re: NANY 2011 Release: Snap DB

« Last post by Winkie on February 01, 2011, 02:48 PM »

Thanks for these updates, Skwire.

+ The 'Run' feature will attempt to execute data that meet the following
criteria:
# A file or folder e.g.: c:\path\to\my.exe, c:\path\to\image.png
# A URI/URL with "://" in it e.g. http://www.site.com
# 'mailto:' links e.g. mailto:[email protected]
-skwire (February 01, 2011, 01:49 PM)

I'm not sure what you what you mean with attempt to execute, but it also tries to run a field like "Go to http://google.com", which obviously fails.
IMHO, Apart from a FileExist() check, (which you must be using because only "config.ini" works!)
the check should be something like:

Code: Autohotkey [Select]

; OK: http://google.com
; OK: www.google.com
; OK: mailto:[email protected]
; OK: D:\Program Files\SnapDB\SnapDB.exe
; OK: file:///c:/windows/
; OK: \\ComputerName\SharedFolder\Resource
MsgBox, % RegExMatch( Clipboard, "^(http:|www.|mailto:|[a-zA-Z]:\\|file://|\\\\)" )

N.A.N.Y. 2011 / Re: NANY 2011 Release: Snap DB

« Last post by Winkie on January 31, 2011, 01:51 PM »

@Skwire:
As promised, my findings after a thorough test drive with Snap DB.
You already know my first impression: looking good! Now I ~~can~~ must say: usability is also top.

Remarks:

Copying data to the clipboard is also my number one wish. I think two ways of copying should be implemented:
- Copying of an entire row/record directly from the listview. Add an editfield to the options dialog where the user can choose the delimiter for flexibility.
- Copying of a single field from the Insert/Update record window. Best way, if possible: Add an button on the right side of each field.
As an alternative to copying I would like to run a field, especially if it's an URL. IMHO, this would also require buttons in the Update record window.
Can we have the fields in the Insert/Update record window in the same order (top -> bottom) as the columns (left -> right) after moving columns?
Bug: When updating a record, the data is preserved when not clicking the update button but the close button of the window (in the title bar). Afterwards the same data is in the fields of the Insert record window, even after a switch to another snp-file.
(A duplicated record button would be a nice addition, BTW)
EDIT: As an alternative (when it's not actually a bug ): to avoid confusion, ask the user if the data must be preserved for later use when clicking close.

So, which way would you like it to be? I can do either.
-skwire (January 28, 2011, 12:26 PM)

SHIFT, that way I can reach more numbers with only my left hand than with Alt.
Also noticed now that Numpad keys aren't used. Maybe use these for the countdown timers?

« Last post by Winkie on January 28, 2011, 12:20 PM »

Skwire, thanks for ten more timers.

Two remarks:

2) Ctrl-Shift+1 through Ctrl-Shift+0 will reset a countup timer.
-Help File

= Ctrl-Alt+1...

+ Added separate "start all" and "stop all" buttons.
-skwire (January 28, 2011, 09:01 AM)

Personally I would like it if these button affect only the timers which have text in it's edit field.
Especially the countdown timers, which now start at one hour if a timer is not set. I would like it to be: not set = not run.
