  @brotherS: What do you need this for: "but would take a few seconds 'regret time' before executing the 'Deactivated' event"? Is it to prevent "flashing"?

  It's the "Calc" text in the title that triggers the Calc rule in the ini file...

Looks like there's a bug in the wildcard settings... It should only kick in when Calc is at the start of a window text...

Skrommel's Software / regarding Renae's feedback and suggestions

« Last post by skrommel on March 05, 2006, 03:53 PM »

  Great feedback, Renae!

Looks like I've got my work cut out for me!

- Combining Similar Applications
Some have already been combined, but this is not high on my list.

- PlainPaste
This really is just a ten line script, but user defined settings should be possible.

- CAPshift
Again, adding hotkeys should be no problem.

- ShowDialogsToo
The flashing is a problem. It could possibly be removed from regular windows.

- IdleMute
This must be a bug. Was this when using the first or second timer?

- StartClock
Doable.

- TicTocTitle
Doable.

« Last post by skrommel on March 04, 2006, 02:45 PM »

  Try this one!

SingleInstance - Only allow one instance of a program to run.

Features:
- User defined programs.
- Option to detect hidden programs.
- Won't close instances started before SingleInstance.

You'll find the downloads and more info at 1 Hour Software by Skrommel.

AutoHotkey doesn't support global messagehooks, so I couldn't catch the programs before they were created, but I hope you can live with the "flicker".

Post New Requests Here / Re: DONE: Dim the taskbar (set transparency)

« Last post by skrommel on March 01, 2006, 06:28 PM »

  brotherS, try if the current version kills your videos. It sets the transparency to Off if the maximized trans is set to 255.

But it makes the taskbar flicker, leaving the rest of us to set the trans to 254, so I don't know if I'll keep it.

The disrupted icons I can't explain, and mine disables properly.

« Last post by skrommel on February 24, 2006, 09:51 AM »

  I've found the error!

If you open the ini file you'll see that inside the {LCtrl Down} {LCtrl Up} there's an odd looking sign. That is Ctrl-V, I guess. It should have been a c. There's a different one inside the paste part, but why this one works, I don't know. So for now, just edit it manually and save the ini-file.

Skrommel's Software / Re: Compression: BigByte

« Last post by skrommel on February 23, 2006, 07:46 PM »

  I've pretty much given up on BigByte after I tried a program that could make a TerraByte file in seconds! I think it just made an entry in the FAT. But I can't remember where I found it...

Adding random content is impossible the way BigByte operates. It makes a 1 byte file and makes double sized copies until the desired size is reached, merges the needed copies and removes the rest.

  Have you changed the hotkeys in the ini file?
If not, I don't know what could be wrong. Try deleting the ini-file.
