What kind of macro?

e.g. this command below opens the Audio tab in your Multimedia Devices applet.
RunDll32.exe shell32.dll,Control_RunDLL mmsys.cpl,,2

maybe someone here can figure out how to change the items in the combo-box via AHK...

General Software Discussion / A very nifty windows' resizer
« Last post by lanux128 on April 11, 2006, 11:28 PM »
i've been using this tool for some time & it works so seamlessly that i almost forgot its name... :Thmbsup:
the program that i'm talking about is FreeSnap 1.2 by Blue Onion Software.

what it does is to allow you to resize/move windows around via some hot-keys. e.g.
WinKey + Up Arrow:         snap top window edge
WinKey + Down Arrow:     snap bottom window edge
WinKey + Left Arrow:       snap left window edge
WinKey + Right Arrow:      snap right window edge

while the Home, End, PgUP, and PgDn keys move a window to the corresponding corner of the screen without resizing the window. you can use the number-pad keys as well, regardless of the NumLock state (see image), which is how the author intended for this app to work.

FreeSnap-KB.png

the “Plus” and “Minus” keys on the number-pad will resize the window to a specific dimension. it also has an alternate layout for laptop users, plus an undo command as well.

i know these features can be replicated via Authohotkey. in fact, i believe that a similar script exists in the AHK forums... anyway, i post it here just in case someone finds it useful just as i did sometime ago... ;)

Living Room / Different results from DC search
« Last post by lanux128 on April 11, 2006, 09:41 PM »
normally in DC forums page, i search via f+rr's alias but once i was trying to search via DC's forum itself. however the results seem to vary as can be seen from the screen-shots.

the alias returns better results, so i looked into the search url:
DC Forum: https://www.donation...x.php?action=search2
F+RR alias: https://www.donation...h=shoutcastconcierge

again, they look the same. maybe someone can explain this "phenomenon"?

...My latest script doesn't remove blank lines because TW asked me for it not to remove them ;)
But now, the script works well for you, right? :)

yes, it works for me. :up: so i'm getting a bit ambitious but with my limited skill in AHK, i need your help...
i want to add a check-box that overwrites the output file (see screenshot) which i've managed but i can't implement in the code.

Gui, Add, Checkbox, x16 y115 CheckedGray vOverwrite_File, Overwrite output file?
...
;Refer check-box option, to overwrite existing output file?
If Overwrite_File
 IfExist,%filetowrite%
   {
    FileDelete,%filetowrite%
   }

now the above code doesn't overwrite the existing file, it only appends it. do you know why?

I'll have to give that Create .bak a try.
-noth(a)nk.you (April 05, 2006, 10:32 AM)

yes i agree, it'll come in very handy to know the short-cuts. but for me, having a gui option is a safety net, in case fingers slip...  ;)
btw, serenity has complemented "Create .bak" with "Convert to .bak" and "Unbak".

Screenshot Captor / Re: SC crashes on right-click
« Last post by lanux128 on April 05, 2006, 08:21 PM »
Unfortunatelly, there's no way to use that tool to upload to imageshack, it can only be used to upload to ftp servers. If you don't use an ftp server, you can use imageshack's quickload, which is quite fast to use and easy, but crashes SC... :(

aah, i thought so... i use imageshack's quickload too, that's how i "discovered" the right-click bug... ;)
in any case since i've filed the bug, fingers crossed that mouser will fix it soon enough. in the meantime, have to manage with quickshot...

jgpaiva & TWmailrec:
i liked your script very much that i had modified it a bit for my own usage & added a gui...

but i not too clear on why both of your scripts differ... e.g. jgpaiva's script adds a linefeed to the end of every line while TWmailrec's deletes all empty lines. is this on purpose?

in any case, here's the code & screenshot of the gui.

i think there is also a button on each thread to "report post to moderator" which you can use, which is probably the best way.

tks mouser. now i must start bookmarking posts such as these, they would come in handy in future... ;)

I sure would like if the "NOTIFY" button would change to "DON'T NOTIFY" or something like that when you are reading a subscribed forum/thread. Just to make things a little bit easier...

that's would certainly be useful, brotherS. :up:

you can turn off re-selecting:
aha, hadn't occurred to me... i will try it, mouser

as far as the crashing - the right click should bring up the shell menu.. can you see if your normal windows explorer crashes on right click of similar images?
nope, on windows explorer the context-menu works normally.

Screenshot Captor / SC crashes on right-click
« Last post by lanux128 on April 04, 2006, 03:35 AM »
i was using SC v2.11.02 when i noticed this, whenever i tried to right-click on an image in the thumbnail browser the program would crash. wondering whether was it just me or does anyone else experience this behaviour?

on another note, how do i permanently unselect crop-marks on a screen-shot? i tried unselect from the Edit menu but it appears again after some time, when i click on that screen-shot after clicking on another thumbnail. refer to the screenshot:

...your low end pci card should be detected automatically and if a suitable set of drivers aren't found by windows, you should still be able to see that things are working albeit in a low resolution and colour space.

i was wondering how to do this before... let's say i'm searching for some music. i call up f+rr, type the alias <keyword> then press enter, only the first item is launched but how about lauching all the items in the alias group?

as seen in the screen-shot below, i want to launch items 1-6 simultaneously.
