Finished Programs / Re: DONE: Farr's go away

« Last post by lanux128 on April 24, 2007, 12:15 AM »

jgpaiva, thanks for pointing out this thread for the request i made here. btw, for portability reasons, i've made some changes and i hope you don't mind. and i've also made another script that brings Farr to the front when using the mouse (i use this as a link in Launchbar Commander)..

Farr exit

; Original Script by jgpaiva from DonationCoder
; To close Farr, call this script inside Farr
; Useful when updating Farr, Win+F to open Farr
; Source: hxxp://www.donationcoder.com/forum/index.php?topic=2812.0
;
#singleinstance,force
#persistent
;Set path here
Farr_exe=%ProgramFiles%\FindAndRunRobot\FindAndRunRobot.exe

hotkey,#f,findandrun
Process, exist,findandrunrobot.exe
if errorlevel <> 0
  Process,close,findandrunrobot.exe
return

findandrun:
Run,%Farr_exe% -tray
ExitApp

Farr to the front

; This script is to bring up Farr window via mouse
; Useful when in 'click' mode.. ;-)

Post New Requests Here / i need an icon for my apacer sd card!

« Last post by lanux128 on April 23, 2007, 11:13 PM »

hi there,

i need an icon for yet another one of my memory card.. so i would like to ask for help from a graphically-inclined soul to make me a nice icon from the image below (see Fig.1). the reason is because whenever i stick my card reader into my pc, WinXP assigns a drive letter to every slot, regardless of whether they contain any card or not.. even though i managed to circumvent this problem by adding an autorun.inf and an appropriate icon onto the respective memory stick with the resulting image as on Fig.2. but i couldn't find an icon for the Apacer SD card, so can anyone help me out here..

Common terminology is arrived at by consensus.

exactly, words evolve as people use them.. any linguistic expert or dictionary compiler would vouch for this, even though he may not agree with the words.. btw, google is not tearing its hair off everything someone googles on the web..

..you will certainly be interested to examine these 2 fine products. First is Ditto-cp which is still in active development and Scott is pretty responsive. Second is ArsClip. Again, a fine and good product.

-cnewtonne (April 20, 2007, 10:40 AM)

thanks for the input, cnewtonne.. my main reason for keeping faith with CLCL is all the templates & plugins that i have grown accustomed to.. since you're an ex-CLCL user, i might check out both..

i'm not sure if this can be turned off without some 3rd party tools.. anyway, Mandork mentioned Tweak UI earlier, but i couldn't find anything on tool tips.. the closest thing is to disable balloon tips (see screenshot).. let me see if googling returns anything..

About screen real estate: it could be "auto hidden", so I don't see any problems here.

-wasker (April 22, 2007, 09:33 PM)

exactly, that was my point here.. not to mention the 'guided' keyboard shortcuts.. but the ribbon has become something of love-it or hate-it object..

I've downloaded it, unzipped it into it's own folded but clicking on trimall or trimws doesn't make anything happen.

-dantheman (April 22, 2007, 10:25 AM)

you can run the program i mentioned here and then run trimall.

btw, good work f0dder! your neat CLI tool has trimmed about 12-20% of my system RAM.. just cool..

Clipboard Chain - Tech details
When a program joins the clipboard chain, it joins at the front of the list and is responsible for sending the information down to the next program in the chain. When a program leaves, it is responsible for identifying itself and the next person in the chain before exiting. This is point [leaving] where it sounds like it is failing.

rjbull, i don't have this problem with CLCL, maybe the feature is already built-in but you can check with the author.. here is the email: nakka at nakka dot com

« Last post by lanux128 on April 19, 2007, 04:09 AM »

yes, let me state that i not an anti-Mac person (i've used Apple machines before).. i think given Apple's accomplishments in the desktop publishing, printing, movie & other various industries, shouldn't they focus on their strength instead of being a gadfly, by picking on Microsoft.. are they secretly jealous that Microsoft not Apple is the dominant force in desktop computers? they should shed this "i'm a small guy against big bad microsoft but i'm happy as a lark having more fun than a PC user" image..

while the mac "comes with all the software you need"

-mouser (April 19, 2007, 01:04 AM)

with all this hype, Apple portrays Mac users come across as someone who can't even tie their own shoelaces but even in the MacWorld, there are plenty of options in the 3rd-party software section.. on another note, Apple still relies on Microsoft to produce Office suites for the Mac..
