General Software Discussion / Re: Determine if a window on top is active or not
« Last post by rjbull on January 13, 2014, 04:13 PM »
a proggy that enabled you to make little screens from different concurrently running programs/videos - and you could resize and drag each little screen to somewhere you wanted and they could all stay on top.

I'm sorry I didn't make a note of it [...]
Maybe Contro found it - see his thread - OntopReplica?

Or go to a gym that has TVs in front of its treadmills anyway?  And the possibility of interacting with real people in between bouts?

The OP didn't include a link for OnTopReplica.  If it's this one, then it doesn't seem to be a conventional "pin window on top" application.  If I read it correctly, it's more like a kind of screenshot application that keeps a copy of a window permanently visible on top.  Something like what you could do with a screenshot made into a sticky note.

@Contro: is that what you mean?

Do you mean, a utility that forces a particular window to stay on top, whatever else is running?  If so, there are lots of those.

Listary's FAYT feature causes problems on my pc. If there is an option to turn it off, then I may give it a try again.
I e-mailed Channing Dai, the author.  Here's his reply:
This is not a usual request, however it can be done in Listary Options - By
Window Type: Select the application, and then uncheck "Find as you type".

I thought the smartphone (or in my case, Palm) would be a sensible way.

Could you use one of the sticky notes programs to send a note to your other computers on a schedule?  E.g. this from Zhorn Software Stickies:
Stickies can be transferred from one machine to another either over a TCP/IP network connection, or by using an SMTP mail server or MAPI client:

    Hierarchical friends list, which may be automatically transferred from other friends
    Play a sound file on receive
    Signature for transmitted or emailed stickies
    Favourite friends, and custom lists can be made

That site doesn't seem to host downloads directly, only through Brothersoft, Cnet and Softonic.  Only Softonic had the portable version - and won't let you download it direct; they want you to download their "universal launcher" instead.  I didn't bother.  No telling what's inside that.

General Software Discussion / IsoBuster 3.3 available
« Last post by rjbull on December 30, 2013, 02:40 PM »
Quote from e-mail from author:
I'm proud to announce the release of IsoBuster 3.3.

FYI: IsoBuster 3.x now packs a lot of new functionality. Especially nice is
the support for Flash drives, USB sticks, Thumbdrives, Compact, SD, MMC,
Micro SD and other type media / memory cards. But there's also support for
Hard Drives, NTFS, ExFAT, XBOX etc.

To see what's new in this version:
http://www.isobuster...er_3.3_release_notes

For people with a 1.x or 2.x license, but no 3.x license yet:
You can STILL upgrade with a nice 30% discount, but you really have to do
it NOW !

If you install IsoBuster 3.3 over an already installed and registered 1.x
or 2.x version, IsoBuster will guide you through the upgrade process. Or
you can check out this page: www.isobuster.com/upgrade.php and choose the
manual upgrade.

From IsoBuster Web site:
The Ultimate data recovery software!
Supporting ALL types of media, including CD/DVD, BD/HD DVD, Hard Drives, SSM, USB flash drives, Zip drives, Jaz drives, floppies etc.


Rescue lost files from a bad or trashed CD, DVD or a Blu Ray disc. Recover deleted files from a Hard Drive, Memory card or of from flash media that Windows says needs to be formatted ! Save important documents, precious pictures or video from the family, your only system backup,...

IsoBuster can do it all!

One tool, supporting all formats, for only one very democratic price.

No accumulated cost if you need more than one type media or file system supported. IsoBuster is a highly specialized yet easy to use media data recovery tool. It supports all disc formats and all common file systems. Insert a disc, USB stick or memory card, Start up IsoBuster and select the drive or media (if not selected already) and let IsoBuster mount the media. IsoBuster immediately shows you all the partitions or tracks and sessions located on the media, combined with all file systems that are present. This way you get easy access, just like explorer, to all the files and folders per file system. Instead of being limited to one file system that the OS picks for you, you have access to "the complete picture". Access data from older sessions or hidden partitions, access data that your OS (e.g. Windows) does not see or hides from you etc.

Product only available as a download.
Buy IsoBuster starting at 39.95US$

Skrommel's Software / Re: does dimscreen work under vista?
« Last post by rjbull on December 25, 2013, 04:45 PM »
I run Vista Home Premium, 32-bit, UAC On, user account.  I downloaded DimScreen.exe and it works for me.

You might also take a look at Fx Software, which offers a range of free "assistive software" applications for people with various visual and other disabilities.  In particular, Dark Screen appears to do the same thing.  I haven't tried that one, but I've tried several of their other offerings, notably Spr-Ot.

Post New Requests Here / Re: IDEA - how to capitalise the first word of every line
« Last post by rjbull on December 11, 2013, 03:26 PM »
This particular task can probably be done fairly easily using awk.  A 'nawk' (for new awk) executable may not need the bash environment.  I'm not sure as there have been several Windows releases and i'm sure some changes in the Linux tools ported.
I've always used Gnu AWK for Windows, gawk.  Try Gawk for Windows.  The slightly older version I have doesn't need a shell.  I presume this version does what you need; I've found some variation between implementations in the past.

I think your "snippet" deserves a name.  Like, "Delete Except."
I seem to remember an ancient DOS program called "DELBUT," meaning "delete everything but these."  So would Tsahi Chitin's TDEL.  There is no new thing under the sun, and continued development of PCs leads to continual reinvention of the wheel...

Clipboard Help+Spell / Re: [Feature Request] Encryption? Password Protection?
« Last post by rjbull on December 10, 2013, 04:10 PM »
If you tell Clipboard H+S to ignore your browser (where you are pasting all kinds of passwords and user names) it then ignores everything you copy or paste into your browser beyond user names and passwords - this is not a solution.
If you're replying to my suggestion, you tell CHS to ignore eveything coming from KeePass.  It still copies everything you clip from your browser.  This idea assumes, of course, that the web page doesn't show passwords as plain text, but that's very rare.

General Software Discussion / Re: Moving notes from Keynote to Evernote
« Last post by rjbull on December 08, 2013, 04:50 PM »
Do you mean the original desktop version of Evernote, or the current cloud or at least primarily cloud application?  If the latter, you may like to know that RightNote has Evernote cloud-type support, and there's a DC thread by tranglos saying that RightNote is what Keynote 2 should have been.  But, the Evernote feature is only available in the Pro version of RightNote, which is $59.95 for a new license.

It's mentioned in numerous DC threads.  Here are two, the first being tranglos' own:
