Post New Requests Here / Re: IDEA Drop Zone javascript link extractor and launcher

The resulting URL should ideally be launched in a new tab on the source browser window, or a new window.

Using Chrome.

TIA

Hi John, sure thing! Give me a day or two to complete this "Drop Launcher" project  :Thmbsup:

Nice work!
-x16wda (March 11, 2021, 07:50 PM)

Thank you for your feedback! (Quite glad ir works for you & you like it).

Ok, so tried out this version and it will randomly stop hiding the taskbar. See video here.
It works fantastic while it does work though. Better than anything else I've tried.
-SyRaza (March 14, 2021, 12:28 AM)

Thanks for the kind words & actually providing a video!!!

I'm getting freed from work in some days yet chances are a new version comes out soon as I have a very straightforward modification to the code for publishing.

Thanks @ all for participating! It *is* rather valuable since in time you realize interaction is the most precious gift you can make to a person in life  :-*.

Cheers!

While thinking about this, I realized this is something Twitter does already:
-Deozaan (March 12, 2021, 01:40 AM)

Nice observation! :)  I actually like the background highlighting pretty much (chances are it gets added as an option into v0.2+ )  :Thmbsup:

Useful to see how others tackle the problem.
-vevola (March 14, 2021, 03:29 AM)

Indeed!

I'm trying to get this baby released yet "regular work" always takes me from the truly important things in life... life enjoying community coding :-*

Given things stay consistent, I'm freed & back to online coding on Thursday.

BTW I still aim at making a living helping others thrive, so let's not discard "traditional work" ends in 2021 for me :Thmbsup: :Thmbsup: :Thmbsup: I'm doing my share of community coding toward Patreon as well as other activities so I  can again focus on my original project of becoming a community coder & online creator.  Knock on wood. May 2021 be the year of the transition!!!

Cheers!

I'm using rainmeter as a taskbar replacement
-SyRaza (March 09, 2021, 03:55 PM)

Does it have the same height as the standard one?

With auto-hide activated, Windows taskbar is nowhere to be seen (completely gone).

Without auto-hide, the program keeps the height of Windows taskbar blank.

-SyRaza (March 10, 2021, 03:58 PM)

Do you want the program to disable the Windows key entirely for the login/session as well? (or is it via Hotkey?)

Thanks for being specific! (Currently doing the GUI)

Excuse my previous post. I want to add something I didn't notice. CloseFence stops working when the window is maximized. If no windows are maximized, CloseFence does what it's supposed to.
-SyRaza (March 10, 2021, 02:38 PM)

Do you want to COMPLETELY HIDE Windows' taskbar for your whole login session?

(There's an oldie code for hiding it from some years ago... may still be relevant for your use-case. Please confirm what you need :))

I don't need the default taskbar to be disabled, simply for it to not respond to mouse activation.
-SyRaza (March 09, 2021, 03:55 PM)

Hello @SyRaza, is it viable to have the taskbar active with auto-hide + a Global hotkey for disabling/enabling the mouse in the area?

If something like this suffices, that's doable :Thmbsup:

If you'd like different Hotkey combinations, please shoot!
-publicdomain (March 01, 2021, 12:39 AM)

Okay! Just updated them for left-handed pressing: (See Manform.cs line)

- HTML link importing.
- Drag & Drop support for .txt, .htm, .html and .url.
- Proper URL format validation.
- Proper scroll bars.
- Multiple custom browser support.
- Remember last used browser.
- Removal of custom browser with DELETE key.
- Multiple file processing by passed arguments.
- Previous and next URL hotkeys on SHIFT + A, S, D, Q, W.

URLister v0.3.0 is basically done! Just need to create the release video & update its about message :Thmbsup:

Sure thing! I have code for arbitrary-length passwords somewhere :up:

i do wonder what button PREV/POST will do.
-KodeZwerg (March 02, 2021, 10:44 AM)

They're color pickers!

(For coloring text previous and posterior to the set limit, to suit user preference)

Awesome! Will be looking forward to playing around with it! Thanks, Vic!
-vevola (March 02, 2021, 02:44 AM)

Finally freed time to engage in a PD coding spree. Chances are v0.1.0 sees the light on the weekend.

Awesome! Are you thinking of making it a Notepad+ plugin, or a Word macro, or a standalone EXE?
-vevola (February 28, 2021, 01:35 AM)

...And the winner is... a traditional standalone EXE:

Screenshot at 2021-03-01 16-48-41_Limitpad-ALPHA.png

There are lots of ways to create visual formatting even of plain text, or even to manipulate (convert case, upside-down text, and other more gimmicky stuff). But like I said, I would rather have a good release version of the base program first, and these are all things you could think about if you want to continue development!
-vevola (March 01, 2021, 03:31 AM)

Agreed! Let's focus on your first request, then expand the base program to suit your ideas :)

I hope @publicdomain you're as excited as I am! Thanks again for your time and effort!!
-vevola (March 01, 2021, 03:31 AM)

I'm always happy to help a fellow! :Thmbsup:

BTW Feel free to call me Vic! We're just a few days from v0.1.0. As you are responsive, we can advance the proggie faster.

Nick! Next release is almost done featuring:

- HTML link importing.
- Drag & Drop support for .txt, .htm, .html and .url.
- Proper URL format validation.
- Proper scroll bars.
- Multiple custom browser support.
- Removal of custom browser with DELETE key.
- Multiple file processing by passed arguments.
- Previous and next URL hotkeys. <-- I've hard-coded F9-F12 like this: (MainForm.cs line).

If you'd like different Hotkey combinations, please shoot! Right now is a great time to say it :)

Copied and pasted a list of URLs into program okay.

Received the following error message:

Thanks!
-nkormanik (February 02, 2021, 05:24 AM)

Okay! the sure-fire solution is to have a file-browsing dialog for manual browser picking.

It gets added to next version for moving on from URLister this February to the original URLplayer program from March onward.

General Software Discussion / Re: For the love of all that is holy stop the ctrl+MouseWheel text scaling - SOLVED
« Last post by publicdomain on February 18, 2021, 11:17 PM »
Is there a way to turn off this evil behavior?
-mouser (February 15, 2021, 02:26 PM)

Okay, I've opened the "Holy Stop" repository to work on a solution that blocks the events based on a bool/flag + a KB/mouse hook.

-

Let's call the boolean "blockScaling".

Monitor:

A: Mouse wheel scroll, no control/Ctrl key.
B: Ctrl keydown, no mouse wheel.
C: ctrl+MouseWheel.
D: Ctrl keyup, no mouse wheel.


PSEUDO:

A, then C: blockScaling = true;
(Assume momentum scroll)

B: blockScaling = false;
(Assume manual keypress / intent)

D: blockScaling = true;
(Assume end of user intent)

IF ctrl+MouseWheel AND blockScaling = false then
    ALLOW ctrl+MouseWheel
ELSE
    BLOCK ctrl+MouseWheel

---

The idea being to ENSURE you have clicked CONTROL down before allowing the passing/processing of ctrl+MouseWheel for regular text scaling.

When it's the WM_MOUSEWHEEL message with no modifier, disable it until next manual intent on Ctrl keydown.

This can work, so it's worth a try for a February release :)

Cheers! :Thmbsup:
