I'm actually thinking of adding a TrayTip option that will give the user some feedback that a switch, indeed, did take place.

I installed a Vista VM and I believe I have it working properly under Vista (and, I would assume, Win7).  Please redownload and let me know.

Then I took the plunge and built myself an IMAP4 email server on linux using spare hardware, a decision that has paid off handsomely. Nowadays I'm free to try any email client as I please, without being held up by any proprietary databases.
-mwang (September 09, 2009, 01:15 AM)
Likewise.  I've been running my own IMAP server for nearly eight years now and also love the ability to try out any email client I want.  I've been a Rebecca/Becky user for almost ten years now but I also like Claws-Mail and Mulberry.

Try this:  PowerSchemeToggler

1) Unpack archive to a folder of your choice.

2) Run PowerSchemeToggler.exe and you'll be presented with a small interface
   that will allow you to choose two profiles to toggle between.  Click the
   "Save and exit" button when done.
   
3) Run PowerSchemeToggler.exe with the -toggle parameter to toggle between
   your chosen schemes.

Understood, and yes, I agree about the files he provided; they are inconsistent.  However, if all he wants to do is join one file to the next, he can simply do  something like this on the commandline:

copy file1.txt + file2.txt + file3.txt newfile.txt

Just to let you know, I noticed a lot of people seem to use AHK on here (which I have never used), I use FPC (Free Pascal) to write my stuff.  I hope that is acceptable?

Proportional: Verdana 7pt, Tahoma 8pt.

I'm not a fan at all of ClearType or ClearType fonts such as Calibri or Consolas.

Great to hear and you're welcome.  This was an interesting one to code.

One off-topics question is Any Suggestion on How to learn Hotkey and where from? Is it difficult, because after seeing you I feel I should also be able to help others?
-paarkhi (September 04, 2009, 01:08 AM)

This is a great post to start from: http://www.autohotke...t-182060.html#182060

My own thoughts on things... 

It's only as difficult as you want it to be.  Too many people are afraid of failure and never even get started.  Others are afraid of the potential immensity of programming and fail to get their hands dirty.  Start very small and create the blocks of knowledge that will eventually lead you into bigger and bigger projects.  As jaco says in that thread, nobody was born knowing this stuff, it takes time. 

The AHK forum has TONS of code examples on how to do just about anything.  Studying others' code is a great way to learn how to do something.  No need to reinvent the wheel, as they say.  Of course, you have to separate the wheat from the chaff but that's to be expected with any online forum.  Also, the help file that is included when you install AutoHotkey is fantastic.  I almost always have it open alongside my editor when coding.

I enjoy the challenge of trying to build something and make it work.  For me, this doesn't only apply to programming; it could be anything from a honey-do project around the house to playing with Play-Doh or Legos with my daughters.  I get a great sense of satisfaction when I can take somebody's idea and write the code to make it into something tangible.

I suppose the main point here is that, if you want to accomplish anything, you must try.

As you have given a choice in removing the characters, can't there be a choice in replacing a character, something like 1 more line
-paarkhi (September 03, 2009, 08:59 PM)

Done.

Download
Alternate

v1.0.4 - 2009-09-03
    + Added yet another hidden setting.  "Chars_To_Replace" is now an
      option.  If you have "Replace_Chars" set to one, any characters
      in the "Chars_To_Replace" list will be replaced with a space.
     
      [Settings]
      Replace_Chars=1
      Chars_To_Replace=-_
     
      Example with the above settings:
     
      Filename of:      Test_-_Test
      Resulting folder: Test   Test
     
      Note: This only affects single-selection operations.

You forgot the Remove_Chars=1.  So, you will have three entries total:

[Settings]
Replace_Chars=1
Remove_Chars=1
Chars_To_Remove=!@#$%^&(){}[]

v1.0.3 - 2009-09-03
    + Added a couple more hidden settings.  "Remove_Chars" and
      "Chars_To_Remove".  This will allow you to specify of a list of
      characters that will get removed when building the foldername.
     
      [Settings]
      Remove_Chars=1
      Chars_To_Remove=!@#$%^&(){}[]

What's wrong with that?  Sam@#12 is a valid filename and foldername.

You're welcome.  Here's the latest version:

Download

v1.0.2 - 2009-09-03
    + Illegal chars in the filename are now checked for.
    + Hidden setting to change dashes/hyphens and underscores into spaces
      when creating the foldername from a single file.  To turn this
      behaviour on, create a config.ini in the app's folder with the
      following text:
     
      [Settings]
      Replace_Chars=1
     
      Note: This does not affect a multiple file selection.

« Last post by skwire on September 03, 2009, 08:35 AM »
Yes, illegal char handling will be implemented.  However, I think I'll leave in the ability to use backslashes because you can use them to make subfolders or to put the files in a parent folder.  For instance, you could specfiy these as the folder name:

path\to\mysubfolder
..\newfolder

Underscores and hyphens can easily be replaced with spaces.  I plan to make this a hidden feature for you.
