Living Room / Re: Our experiences with LED light bulb replacements

« Last post by mouser on October 29, 2015, 03:51 PM »

I have not had great experience with candelabra LEDs.

The biggest problem is if you have a candelabra fixture where the bulbs are mounted facing upwards.  A traditional incandescent candelabra shines a ton of light downward, but this is not the case with ANY LED i have come across, and it's much worse with candelabra LEDs where the base inevitably blocks most of the light.

New beta is up, i'd appreciate any feedback:

v4.14.0 BETA - Oct 26, 2015

• [BugFix] The Resize and Fine Rotate dialogs were not properly showing previews of image.
• [Feature] Fit Width and Fit Height actions added to View menu.
• [Feature] If the current screenshot is renamed outside of SC, SC will try to switch to the renamed file.
• [Improvement] When pixelating, any partial transparency is removed in order to reduce the risk of the original pixels being recovered.
• [Improvement] JPG quality/compression setting is now of a finer scale and scaled up to a more reasonable (higher quality) range.
• [Change] Using SaveAs will now use same quality/compression settings as default.

« Last post by mouser on October 26, 2015, 01:20 PM »

Ok so I went and tried to reproduce this, but failed to.
My latest changes (which should already be in the version you have) should have made SC work fine with files with periods (.) in their filenames.

Can you try the latest beta (v4.14) and let me know if the problem remains?
Beta 4.14 here: https://www.donation...dex.php?topic=3474.0

If the problem does remain, can you shed any more light on the nature of the issue -- because contrary to my original comments, SC is doing fine with files with periods in the name here.

You should be able to see all images even without being logged in.
But the error about "[You are not allowed to view attachments ]" sometimes gets displayed in weird situations.

Can you clarify where/when you are seeing that error?

Never mind, I see it -- it seems like a bug in forum, let me try to fix.

Clipboard Help+Spell / Re: CHS suddenly stopped working

« Last post by mouser on October 26, 2015, 07:43 AM »

Great 

changing "Temporary DB file location" to Database "temp" sub-directory seems to have solved all problems.

great to know.  that does suggest it's some sort of file access problem -- either related to a security program or a built-in windows 10 restriction.
I wonder if i should make that setting the default.

so now that it's working again, if you had old clips you want back you should be able to exit CHS, and restore your old Database directory and restart.

proton, the policy on this forum is not to engage in political snarkiness like this that inevitably derails threads and causes people to argue back and forth about political parties insulting each other, etc.  This is especially true when it is unrelated to the topic being discussed.

we ask everyone to take their political arguments elsewhere, regardless of where you stand on the issues.

Clipboard Help+Spell / Re: CHS suddenly stopped working

« Last post by mouser on October 26, 2015, 06:03 AM »

Was CHS working for you before all this? Any idea what could have happened that made this start happening?
If you are seeing that error after you removed all database files, it's hard to see how it just started happening out of nowhere when it was previously working..

Clipboard Help+Spell / Re: CHS suddenly stopped working

« Last post by mouser on October 26, 2015, 06:01 AM »

What security software are you running? Can you try turning it off or adding an exception for CHS -- it's almost sounding like the problem is a security program blocking proper access to database files, something that we have seen before.
The other related thing to try, assuming you can get into CHS options is on the Tweaks tab, changing the "Temporary DB file location" and restarting.

Clipboard Help+Spell / Re: CHS suddenly stopped working

« Last post by mouser on October 26, 2015, 05:28 AM »

I just woke up so my brain is not functioning perfectly yet, but let's start with the basics:

• Exit CHS.
• Find your CHS database folder -- by default this will be under documents\DonationCoder\ClipboardHelpAndSpell\Database
• Backup this folder (zip it and copy it somewhere, etc), so that we can try to recover it later.
• Then delete the contents (or move contents) of the folder, so that it is empty.
• Restart CHS.

See if that lets CHS resume working on an empty clip database.  Assuming so we can then try to figure out what went wrong and try to get your database back next.

No reason to feel stupid! There are so many options it's a wonder anyone can find anything.
And I should probably disable that option by default, I'm not sure it's very useful.

but is there a way to suppress the notifications in Win10 each time you take a screenshot.

of course.  uncheck the option for "Filename Balloon Tip in Tray" on the Post-Capture options tab:

I just wanted to point out that i think its a terrible idea for software to do bad things to a user's computer or files if it suspects that it has been pirated.
Now in this case, it seems the author is just making his software malfunction, in ways that wouldn't cause loss of work, so i don't have a problem with it.

and the troubleshooting log is disabled.

that might be a good clue -- it sounds like maybe i just overlooked some code trying to write to the non-existent troubleshooting log.
ill see if i can figure out why that might be and fix it.
