General Software Discussion / Re: Flashing black windows in pspad when maximize

« Last post by Contro on January 23, 2020, 03:22 PM »

Thanks Ath

The laptop is new and the graphical drivers the last
I have applied the last update to pspad.

I don't want to consider using a different editor. I am very fond of pspad.
Sometimes I use notepad++ , but I am very used to pspad and some of its features.

I'll wait some months.
The graphical effects is only cosmetic. The program goes well until now.

Understood.
At the present moment I am a happy man .
I have almost finish configuring the new laptop.
 

I have assumed the best advice I can receive and will take into consideration in the near future.
I have almost 200 virtual machines under virtualbox....

I bought the new laptop of second hand with 5 hours of use.
An Authentic luxury bought to a professional programmer .

The novelty is that kind of ssd nvme card faster.
I am thinking in the near future modify the desktop with a system nvme card of 1 TB. I am using a SATA SSD 500 GB and almost no space at the present moment !

I have learned a lot from my seller.
The laptop is Hewlett Packard originally with Freedos. Now with windows 10 home. And with a set of features wonderfully selected by my seller.
That sort of laptops are not found locally in Tenerife.

 

By the way KodeZwerg .
I am using a program developed in Delphi I think : pspad.

Is a program I get a lot fond in the past, present and future; but when I maximize the icon from the task bar open by miliseconds a black window .

Can I solve this ?

Note : happen under windows 10 home.

Have you tried playing with the Compatibility/High DPI settings per application? It's in the <Right-Click-icon>/Properties pages of the application.

And some applications support Ctrl-scroll-wheel-scrolling for scaling only their window/font.

-Ath (January 20, 2020, 01:46 PM)

Tryind this !
 

-Contro (January 21, 2020, 11:11 AM)

No . I can't get it.
I have execute in all ways the compatibility program solver
change "cambiar configuración elevada de PPP" affects all system.

So I have to close the session and enter again.

After thinking a bit on your problem i might have a good working solution.
Install VMware/Hyper-V/VirtualBox or similar.
Install targets program OS and the target itself.
Adjust the windows setting (125% you said).
From now on you have just this app upscaled and the rest is still like it was.

Requirements:
50-100GB free space on a drive
6-8GB RAM, 2-4GB for virtual machine
time to install and set everything up.

Does that method solve your problem?

I have goldmine under virtualbox, but I need sometimes to see registers and made look up from the system....

If I can scale inside the application would be enough.
That is apply a scale factor only to the target application.

Is it possible ?

In windows we can scale but for all the applications. I only need one.


edited : 125 % is a good factor for me.

Resize a Font individual to a specific size can only be done, aslong i know, by application itself.
Windows just brings either reset all for one dpi/size or use screen magnify.
For some quick results, there might be a chance to AHK it, but AHK aint my territory so i can only help to program a resizer but for that i would need a minimalistic portable version of your target program.

The new laptop has 1920x1080 resolution.
That's good for almost any case.
But for one program the letters are too small for me . so I would like to configure the size from windows only for this program, not in generally.

How can I do that with windows 10 home edition 64 bits ?

I am using for years filebox eXtender (from windows xp)
I have been using with windows 8.1 and seems an old program.

I use basically the push pin button and the favorite to manage frequent folders .

I would like an alternative with the same or similar buttons in the same position.

« Last post by Contro on May 05, 2019, 10:05 AM »

but I don't know how to print to a pdf these lists.

there are virtual pdf printers.. you install them and then from any app that can normally print something to a printer you can print it to pdf file instead.
or you could take a screenshot and save it in pdf format.

does that answer your question?

-mouser (May 04, 2019, 03:58 PM)

Not entirely, but surely is the way. I have pdf virtual printer and using Fireshot.
I suppose it was possible a script or something to obtain rapports from a website. ....

By example :

In Ali Express I can see some lists, but I don't know how to print to a pdf these lists.

Can I have software for doing this. Not like HTTrack, only certain data to print. To control shopping in several webs.

« Last post by Contro on April 21, 2019, 07:29 AM »

I have to recognize my completely failure with the high capacity pendrives sold by AliExpress.

I having a lot of problems with these units.
When I claim to AliExpress they rejected the proofs made with fakeFlashTest. They don't send me the money back.

I am also having problems with micro SD cards of 128GB and 256GB I don't suspect at the beginning.

I will inform with time. Now I am with my ass between my arms....

At this moment I have no much time to post. Too much work.
But I compromise to inform you.
I finally don't buy any of the hard drives.
I continue with this project and I will inform you with the results.
About the 2 TB for my laptop I have to say is interesting if the actual hardisk fails. I am using an external hard drives for over space.

Best Regards.
P.D. I am searching for the post I did about high capacity pendrives. For me have benn a complete disaster and bad moments.
Like app103 told me I am cancelling shopping with Ali Express because its politics and defense of sellers of fake material.

no, it really is impossible. The Last Used data includes when every app was last "touched" by the indexer or by the anti malware-tester, or something. So the only way that I know of is the opposite way: There are several apps that can tell you what programs you use most often. The ones you don't use so often..., well, you figure out the rest.

List files sorted by Last Access time:

1. dir <file spec> /s /od /ta

eg. List all MP3 files on D:\

Code: Text [Select]

1. d:
2. cd \
3. dir *.mp3 /s /od /ta

I have to do some space in my laptop so I would like to know those files I don't open for a long time, exe's i don't execute, etc. Those files I haven't move or copy for a long time.

A software able to categorize this in folders without use for a long period or from a date.

Able to locate folders without movements and without execution of any of the files contained.

Free, portable and fast ?

The problem is that i can't trust in any supplier. I prefer to trust in customers . So I am delaying the decission until I find a really understanding customer.

-Contro (February 27, 2019, 04:53 PM)

Sorry if I sound a little harsh (and I may be repeating myself...), but why are you asking for approval (that's what it sounds like to me, instead of advice), and already order the goods without waiting for or taking any of the tips you can have here?
If that's you way of proceeding, then just tell us what you bought, including photos, and why,
