Post New Requests Here / Re: Idea: Task Manager "Lite"

« Last post by publicdomain on February 15, 2021, 08:01 PM »

Here's a standard GUI program based on this idea (using the same exclusion list):

For single-program termination: fire it up, kill a program, done

(Can also refresh list via File/New)

Do you want me to post them for fine-tuning purposes, or is this that can't really be adjusted anyway?

-kunkel321 (February 15, 2021, 05:36 PM)

By all means post them! The idea is to have this program suit your needs/satisfy you in full! This way we also help others in need of the same functionality as well

Also, what does the Delete inis command do?  I'm guessing that windows would just rebuild them...  So that command probably puts them all back to their defaults?

-kunkel321 (February 15, 2021, 05:36 PM)

You guessed right. Windows resets them all back to folder defaults.

[...]it intelligently determines which exe file is the most likely to contain the desired icon image[...]

-kunkel321 (February 15, 2021, 05:17 PM)

There are three algos being used in succession:

- Levenshtein distance.
- Damerau-Levenshtein distance.
- Hamming distance.

(Source line)

We can do a new version with manual icon selection for the .exe names missed by the algorithms.

I'm thinking about a Graphical List with possible icons for single-click selection... Let's do this!

Living Room / Re: Web service to let supporters vote rankings

« Last post by publicdomain on February 12, 2021, 11:55 PM »

the best way to let supporters help rank and choose items to do from a list where you are adding and removing items constantly... Ideas welcome..

-mouser (November 05, 2020, 02:07 PM)

List versioning!

When you pick users' top-voted item from your TO DO list, snapshot the whole list adding a version number for future reference.

This method can prove to be the most transparent over time

Great, Vic.  Glad you are still game.

-nkormanik (January 16, 2021, 02:45 AM)

Always happy to assist!

If unloading browser is accepted, URLplayer may be usable presently

-nkormanik (January 16, 2021, 02:45 AM)

Sweet! Browser closing is programmed (Source: MainForm.cs).

I'm adding some more code to publish new release (save settings, open/import URL file, always on top).

except for needing a much, much larger list allowance.

-nkormanik (January 16, 2021, 02:45 AM)

Default MaxLength limit is addressed now.

If I am orchestrating the whole works on my system, I can tell my macro program (presently MacroExpress) to unload the browser -- after, say, two minutes (to download a .pdf file).  After browser is unloaded, go back to URLplayer, and load the next URL in the list.  Which will fire up the browser again, and go to the subsequent page (or download the next pdf in line).

So, what we would have is a nice 'semi-automatic', with a really long clip.

-nkormanik (January 16, 2021, 02:45 AM)

Hope we can make things easier on your end.

Thanks for working along Nick! It helps improve our software which in turn helps other fellows around

PublicDomainVic / Re: URLplayer thread

« Last post by publicdomain on January 15, 2021, 07:48 AM »

My pleasure!

it would be necessary to have the option of just a single tab being repeatedly used.

-nkormanik (January 14, 2021, 04:22 AM)

Just checking... would closing & re-launching browser with new URL suffice?

There's a bit more of a delay yet it's certain to use only one tab to save memory.

Cheers!

PublicDomainVic / Re: URLplayer thread

« Last post by publicdomain on January 13, 2021, 01:58 PM »

Hi there Nick! Got your suggestions and all of them are doable (We're tackling them one by one in code).

BTW I believe the PDF download part is perfect for our upcoming "pdGet" downloader project; a web macro input module fits your requirement perfectly since button clicking is performed via direct/internal browser automation.

Chances are both URLplayer and pdGet move from alphas to first public betas in the next few releases (I'm free enough this month).

Do monitor this thread! You're the very first tester

PublicDomainVic / PublicDomain REIMPLEMENTATION (second shot at discontinued programs)

« Last post by publicdomain on January 07, 2021, 12:02 AM »

reimplementation (plural reimplementations)
The act of implementing again.
-Wiktionary

Hi guys! The idea here is bringing a new life to FUNCTIONALITY present in abandoned (or plain old) software.

This isn't about cloning a program carbon-copy, but reimplementing its functionality afresh!

Furthermore, it can be extended beyond what the original program allowed, accounting for modern times. A much-welcome refreshment for many users!


Programmers abandon functional programs all the time. Let's give those programs' functionality a second chance here at DC


Some benefits:

• Creative Commons Zero v1.0 Universal: It is reimplemented using a truly-permissive open-source license with the source code and rights gifted to the public domain entirely (regained software freedom) hence continuity is reassured due to the new licensing.
• Extending functionality: If you ever wanted a program to make something new yet it was abandoned, then this one's truly for you

Feel free to submit!

I'm always willing to help a fellow!

URLplayer.
Browse link lists, one website at a time.

Original thread	DONE: Have list of URLs, and, in Chrome, manually load one, then next, etc.
Source code	https://github.com/p...blicdomain/urlplayer
2021-02-01 version	0.2.0
Image
Made for	nkormanik

Download: https://www.dcmember...oad/urlister-v0-2-0/

Well, URLister is needed, and will be greatly appreciated.

Requests:

-- Allow copy/paste to get list of URLs entered.
-- Allow drag-into-window to get list of URLs entered.
-- Allow drag-to-program-icon (on desktop), and SendTo, to get list of URLs entered.
-- Allow option to open each URL into separate tabs, OR into just the first tab, overwriting what was there.
-- Allow program window option to STAY ON TOP of other windows (i.e, browsers)

That would be a good start.

Thanks for keeping this alive!

-Tuxman (January 04, 2021, 02:39 PM)

That's the purest spirit! 1000% congrats for it!! In my view, you can help the world improve/thrive while having a form of abundance coming along with it.

Acting on your passion can be something that supports you!

And I'm not only talking about the idea of money! You can get abundance in the form a trade. a gift. something positive happening in synchronicity thanks to you helping others (that wouldn't have happened otherwise), and expanding your creativity/imagination to make you more productive in other areas of your life.

Super-valuable: Interacting with a new friend or friends who fill(s) your soul is a form abundance to me as well

There are So many forms of blessings!

Living Room / Re: How can I extract all the links from all tabs?

« Last post by publicdomain on January 02, 2021, 06:15 AM »

Forgive my ignorance, but now that Edge is Chrome-based, how is it any easier to target than any of the other multitude of Chrome-based browsers?

-Deozaan (January 01, 2021, 11:53 PM)

Thanks for following your curiosity! The answer is: Legacy support.

A couple decades ago, you simply used SHDocVw to connect to a running instance of Internet Explorer and didn't really mind about the tiny portion of non-IE users (90's dial-up user here).

Now I do cross-platform and care very much about other browsers (currently on Linux myself}.

...Perhaps I should have said: easier to me, as I have oldie code to target IE & extract links

BTW I'm loving the challenge(s) and interaction guys, it means a lot to me. I'm truly grateful for this.

Cheers!
