I should also add that nudone just made one of the tippest-toppest suggestions to improve the software.

I shall be working on a new release quite soon, and I hope to roll several new features into place, along with fixes for bugs which several of you were kind enough to document and report.

The wiki will also get a bit of a tune-up, and at some point soon there'll be a little guide.

Anybody good enough in coding to process the list at the link into an importable Auspex file?

http://en.wikipedia....nly_misspelled_words
-movrshakr (January 16, 2011, 05:09 PM)

There's an import feature in place that would almost handle that page if the words were split line by line. It's a bit too simple at the moment, but would not take long to massage into shape if there's interest.

...(I must get rid of this test medical dictionary. Every time I type 'pos' I get 'posterior')
-timns (January 16, 2011, 04:56 PM)

Now that's funny! At least it wasn't 'piece of _____'

And this is how it should look.

So of course creating others for <div> <xml> <mycustomtag> etc. would be a piece of cake. Just adjust the cursor pos value to make sure the cursor ends up where you want it.

what do you want me to set up? you should be able to make threads sticky since you are mod of this section.

just a suggestion for the small icons/badges.

using DC's blue gradient bar for the idea.

I want that badge like right now!

I just have to mention this, with kudos to nudone for the suggestion.

He's talking about whether Auspex could be used to help folks who have to do a lot of HTML/XML tagging, by having replacements set up that automatically type the repetivitve bits.

Yes!

Not only that but you can have Auspex move the cursor to the right place in the string so you can carry on adding content between the tags without using the arrow keys.

One such example would be this:

htm*  could expand to  <html></html>  with the cursor automatically placed between the 2 tags. This is all available in the current release.

If the group would like me to, I can create a template set of replacements for this and similar stuff.

Is there a download point for the most recent version other than the first post in this thread?
-movrshakr (January 16, 2011, 04:18 PM)

Er, not yet. I'll add a sticky thread or something as soon as I'm able to: Mr Mouser, can you set that up for me please?

« Last post by timns on January 16, 2011, 04:07 PM »
I maybe would wonder about having a different colour for Entrant and Admin (/and maybe volunteer)... I know from this year where my NANY entry was a miserable failure (as far as completing goes), and it would be nice not to have that confusion in the badges.
-Perry Mowbray (January 16, 2011, 04:04 PM)

Good one! Once the year is different for each badge, that's probably all the distinction they need. But being able to earn new badges for any type of involvement is good: I think it would encourage yet more participation on other levels than just the coding part.

It does rather change the tone of your posting.

Here's what I have from yesterday:

timns, you started bad-mouthing our product. You should stop it now, OK? It is for no good.
-BartelsMedia (January 15, 2011, 04:16 PM)

He's actually been very civil. He gave his opinion of something in the product, in a non-negative manner, and there you appeared again.  He's actually been quite nice, so desisting from the personal attacks and as mouser said being nice would be helpful.

Ok, re the date and time tokens in Auspex:

'%date%' - inserts the complete date in your current locale
'%time%' - time in hh:mm:ss, 24 hour clock
'%hour%' - just the hour, 0-23
'%hour12%' - just the hour, 0-11
'%minute%' - minutes
'%second%' - seconds
'%ampm%' - the string AM/PM, in your current locale

'%yyyy%' - 4-digit year
'%yy%'  - 2-digit year
'%mm%' - 2-digit month
%month% - short month name (Jan, Feb etc)
%monthname% - long month name (January, February etc)
'%dd%' - 2-digit day
'%day%' -  short day name (Mon, Tue etc.)
'%dayname%' - long day name (Monday, Tuesday etc)

e.g.
%dayname%, %month% %dd% %yyyy% %hour%:%minute% %ampm% = Sunday, Jan 16 2011 10:30 AM

Mini-Reviews by Members / Re: Review of references for file and file contents tagging

Thanks wraith (for several reasons!)

I'll have a look at benubird. It's the same old problem - find a requirement, think there'll be "one or two" solutions, start digging, and end up surrounded by too many options.

Today I've uploaded 4 attachments, each of around with 2.5mbs, with no problems. Also done a ton of posting with no issues. Or no technical issues anyway  :D

Tell you when I have seen problems: occasionally when I try to post at the bottom of a very long set of AutoPager pages, I cannot get anything to save. Just end up with a blank message box.

New build 81 just uploaded on special request from a DC-er.

Additional import feature thrown in place, to read the following format:

abc     this is replacement text for abc
cde     same for cde
xyz     hey folks, I love all text replacement programs

etc. etc.

Tested and working on over 13,000 medical terms. Now I feel like a hypochondriac. Certainly something has been making me sick today.

If anyone would like me to make this more general, just let me know.

On sage advice from far more level heads than mine, I hereby undertake that I shall refrain from any more banter on the subject of Phrase Express.

I should also point out that any opinions expressed herein are my own and should in no way reflect on the fine folks of Donation Coder.

Barty, don't get upset because I didn't like PE. There are loads of things I don't like in this world that are also perfectly innocuous. As it is, I am learning a great deal here. If you promote your product in this thread, I'm bound to take an interest: it's human nature.
