In small icon mode icons are shown correctly.  <-- that could be a BIG clue.. is this true if you search for notepad, wordpad, rather than using cpanel alias?

« Last post by mouser on April 26, 2015, 02:41 AM »

Just finished my 2nd ever 10k run today, in the cold and rain.  Was super fun.

My time was 1:05:33 (thats a 10:33 minute mile pace).

I'm enjoying running lately.  Any other runners here?

Can you guys try the new beta (2.222.2), which i'm sure will break something but lets see what it does for the high DPI issue and windows 7 icons.  Let me know.

But of course the best thing would be if i could duplicate the problem.

Here's an idea -- can someone with bad icons on win8 do a search that finds a built-in windows 8 app that should have an icon but doesn't, and then give me a screenshot so i can try to reproduce the problem here?

For example, searching for Notepad and Wordpad give blank icons?

can you take a look at a shortcut (or two) where farr does not show the icon properly, and look at the properties of it, and tell me if you see anything interesting?
is it a 64bit app? do 32bit apps show icons?  any clue you can give me about which shortcuts dont show icons and which do..

Wow that surprises me.. Ok I must be overlooking something.

Did you know that the lug nuts on the passenger side of a 64 Dodge polara are left hand thread?? I didn't ... And I snapped 2 Craftsman 1/2" ratchets and split 3 sockets before I figured it out.

ouch!

can you redownload and try new beta i just uploaded?

Will this be invoked by something in the typed search text, like "^mysearch" or something? Or is it a global option that you set for everything.

it's a global option:

Clipboard Help+Spell / Clipboard Help and Spell - New Name?

« Last post by mouser on April 23, 2015, 12:11 PM »

Few programs have been named by me as poorly as Clipboard Help and Spell, and that's saying something.

Theoretically, if i did want to rename it as this point, but keep the initials CHS, anyone have any suggestions?  Clipboard Helper Service.. Clipboard Helper System.. Anyone?

Please try the new beta; in addition to the hotkey, on the clipboard tab you can also increase the frequency of automatic clipboard chain re-establishment.

General Software Discussion / Re: Favorite Windows Desktop Virtualizers?

« Last post by mouser on April 23, 2015, 08:26 AM »

Pheonix you are using a term that is confusing.  As aryq points out, when people think of "desktop splitters" they think of tools that divide up your screen into areas for docking applications, like jgpaiva's wonderful GridMove tool.

The more common term for the kind of tool you are looking for is a "Virtual Desktop" tool (less commonly called a "multiple desktop" tool).

Post New Requests Here / Re: IDEA: Delete every N files, or keep only every N files

« Last post by mouser on April 23, 2015, 07:56 AM »

From the cpu patterns, but more significantly the memory patterns, use you are describing, it sounds like what may be happening is that the delete function (perhaps because it is sending files to recycle bin), is being run asynchronously and creating a new thread for each iteration of the loop, so that essentially the loop is creating thousands and thousands of threads trying to delete files at the SAME TIME, while the loop runs super spawning all of the threads/processes -- rather than it processing each one in turn.

Alternatively, it could be an antivirus program having the same effect.

It would be one thing for the cpu use on one of your cores going to 100%, but the memory use suggests that each iteration of the loop is causing something to be spawned.

Don't forget hand-cleaner.

Thanks for the reminder.

May I suggest Harbor Freight Tools.. You may have a store near you.

There is one quite near me -- I bought my floor jack there (consensus seems to be that their floor jacks are good).

I presume you have an alternate form of transportation?

Yep, i'll have someone with me to help in case of problems.

always pull a wrench, never push it

yep, i have heard that -- i will try to remember it; i have a good breaker bar.
