Site/Forum Features / Re: [RESOLVED] Feature Request - Keep download count, remove file

« Last post by mouser on December 12, 2015, 09:27 AM »

I was just about to post how this would be a nice feature but how hard it would be to fix it..
That elegant solution never occurred to me either!! Sometimes simpler is better.
Very nice idea, Stoic.

Developer's Corner / Re: Copy/pasting code and the last line effect

« Last post by mouser on December 11, 2015, 06:57 PM »

Yes, ONE explanation is that the last line is correct but he/she forgot to increase the array size (thats my guess).
You could also argue that the last line should not be there at all -- in which case the proper explanation is not that that last line was "redundant" -- it's certainly not -- it will cause serious problems.

Developer's Corner / Re: Copy/pasting code and the last line effect

« Last post by mouser on December 11, 2015, 06:41 PM »

actually there is a bigger bug here, though it's hard to be sure exactly what the author intended.

First things first, this looks like c++ code.

my guess is that the most likely bug is the declaration WORD m_wVertexIDs[3] should probably be WORD m_wVertexIDs[4];
creating a 4 element array(vector), indexed from 0 to 3, making the lines in the function correct.  if so this is NOT an example of a last line effect, but a deadly c++ style error of declaring an array too small (which may not be flagged as an error).

It's certainly true that the Multi Theft Auto code example is incorrectly diagnosed -- that last line is not "redundant", it is an error (given the earlier declaration) -- one that would be caught in some languages or cause unpredictable memory problems in others.

Running LBC with -nodock and -nowindow gives the menu flyout (with an "exit" selection on bottom) on a left click, and no response on a right click.

try the latest beta (https://www.donation...dex.php?topic=2578.0)

Multi Photo Quotes / Re: Problem loading alpha transparent PNG images

« Last post by mouser on December 09, 2015, 01:44 PM »

Ok so the way i'm interpretting that screenshot is that MPQ is using WHITE in the transparent areas, and that where you see black is actually NON-TRANSPARENT BLACK.  Does that make sense?
And then the fix (for you at least) would be for MPQ to render the transparent areas black.

Multi Photo Quotes / Re: Problem loading alpha transparent PNG images

« Last post by mouser on December 09, 2015, 12:53 PM »

Hmm.. interesting problem and the first time this has come up.. From your sample images it looks like it's not exactly clear what the right thing to do would be.. Would you want an option to set the color to be used for transparent areas? In your case it looks like most of the time that would be white.. but some of your images look like black would be a better choice..

Try the newly uploaded beta:

• https://www.donation...sBarsOfLifeSetup.exe
• or https://www.donation...rsOfLifePortable.zip

You should see new option on Appearances tab where you can override default gauge text font size.

LaunchBar Commander / Re: Mouser - any way to batch/bulk edit LBC menu entries?

« Last post by mouser on December 09, 2015, 10:47 AM »

Thanks for testing!

It should be replacing icon paths, so i'll fix that (just uploaded new beta version where it should be fixed).

[But as you've discovered those are only to assist you in editing in the future -- icon data is internally stored at the time of setting it and the icon files need not exist after that.]

There may be a bug with the forum attachment system with non-images.. i'm looking into it.

a fix is to use [attachurl=] instead of [attach=]

Find And Run Robot / Re: Find only applications, no folders or documents?

« Last post by mouser on December 09, 2015, 07:31 AM »

If you want FARR to only ever find files with certain extensions, you can do that by going to the Search Folders tab and editing your search folders so that they only return files with certain extensions.

It does seem like perhaps I should add a single global option that would have this effect thought.. I will consider it.

DC can host your software.  Those false antivirus alerts are so painfully annoying (still have to figure out a way to solve that no matter where you host).

Find And Run Robot / Re: Is there really a new version 2.226.01?

« Last post by mouser on December 07, 2015, 05:13 AM »

Nothing to be alarmed about -- I just discovered that, despite releasing v2.226 in June, I had never made the update "official" according to the update checker -- so people weren't informed about it.  That sometimes happens when I release a minor update and I'm not sure if I'm going to release another one soon after.

So all I did yesterday was tell the updater about v2.226, so people who had not gotten it between June and December would be alerted about it.
