There are few things as enjoyable as writing code that surprises you

Win 8.1 x86 sees Directory Opus and an ahk drop target. Doesn't see Firefox, Forte Agent email, TCC console… What it does see is placed consecutively starting from the right of the top row.

The main thing I'm looking for in this test is if both 32 and 64 bit programs are detected when they have the focus, and that there aren't a bunch of blank buttons between the others when the panel gets filled.

-MilesAhead (February 09, 2015, 06:02 AM)

Win 8.1 pro x64 - nothing detected (Autoit Spy sees what's open).

In a subsequent release editing or clicking now will always perform a save (and sync) soon after.

That'll be an option, right?

Any need to check for battery level?

And I just deleted an item from my tablet, and that item disappeared from the phone automagically

The Fiat 500 wasn't that expensive    (mouser would have liked it)

They were flogging the Austin Mini for £600 when it first appeared. Of course, one had to fit a rubber glove over the HT leads and distributor cap as the distributor was placed right behind the front grille, and it's been known to rain now and then in England.

I have no wish to enter into a detailed analysis of what does or does not work in various pieces of backup software. My own experience with Macrium Reflect has been entirely satisfactory, and that's good enough for me.

Looks like some fine cars on those pages, starting with one of my fav drool cars - the AC Cobra.

-IainB (February 01, 2015, 06:45 PM)

That's a lovely car.

(How did it get the "wrong" suffix?)

You have only to stop for a moment and think about who posted it 
The URL field comes up helpfully, with "http://" already present. I must have inserted my link before that rather than overwriting it <sigh>

I wonder how many of us have owned how many of these.

[Originally, I managed to post a bad link. My apologies, it's been corrected.    Nobody actually called me the name that first occurred, which is another measure of the rampant civility on DC.]

yes, it should fix that problem.
im just saying a secondary problem is that people have suggested i should make the icon more mobile-looking, and that might be best to do that instead.

I can understand you don't want to create bloatware, but both feel quite natural for a productivity-type app like WhenLast

How about available options for daily, weekly, monthly reiterations if the reminder isn't handled by the user for whatever reason? If it's not practical for the user to act on a reminder, and those options aren't enough, wouldn't the best course be simply for the user to reset the reminder?
