Works great now.

Small suggestions:
- remember "lock state" on minimize,
- store settings in INI file.

The best would be: check if INI exists in application dir. If yes - write settings there, if not - registry.

I don't know will my answers satisfy you but I'll try my best to do so

-I am especially looking for learning features. DO you think Typing assistant auto learning is supreme?

-kartal

This is something you should check by yourself (there is 21 days trial). I've only tried couple applications and found that TA suits me the best but it's hard to me to say why.

Although one thing was perfect match for me: "words exceptions" where you can simply define which words will never be remembered. It was bothersome that some apps remembered my passwords.

-Can you limit to certain apps?

-kartal

Yes. You can choose one of the following modes: either add applications where it should work (the rest will be prohibited) or define where it should not be used (switching off all the rest).

-Can you import text files to create or expand word a library? I am hoping that the text analysing feature( if there is ) is smart=, meaning that it can recognize words that are within "", (), [] etc

-kartal

There is no "Import" feature. Instead, you can "Add" works by Ctrl+V and analysing. Do I understand correctly that you want brackets and quotes removed and have only words imported? For such case, quick test shown me no problems.

-Does it offer menu creation?

-kartal

Unfortunately, no.

The reason I am looking for a good learner one is that I want to use for coding, I use some apps for scripting and their scripting sytax are not well documented and hard to find syntax libraries, so learning skill is crucial to me. Otherwise IO can just use AHK to build up my hotstring library which is dead simple.

-kartal

There is no full scripting in it yet but I hope for the future. On the other hand: I had no need for it and built-in "Auto-Expand" feature was good enough for me.

Edited: Ehhh too late…

I had tried mentioned two in the past and abandoned them like you. LMT was all wrong for me because it had no national characters support. I understand that Unicode is complex but ANSI? Come on! It had problems with special Polish characters. Sometimes it was even crashing because of that but... it was long ago and I've never bothered to report that issue. I knew I would not buy it so what for?

Little bit later I was trying to use PE but it failed because of no memory at all. Like you said: it couldn't learn anything.

Now I am using TypingAssistant and I am happy with it.

I might not be reliable at this point because I've gained free key (thx to translation, bug reports and ideas) but I think you should take a look at least.

It doesn't have "Export" feature but that is not a problem because:
- its dictionaries are just plain text Unicode files; you can open it in any text editor to get nice list of words,
- author is opened to any suggestions; he implemented many of those I had sent him in couple of days

So what you have up there looks like something I can benefit from.

-kartal

If it only exist…

Unfortunately, the picture from above is just and idea (made with Notepad++, Paint.NET and Inkscape).

BTW There was nothing about permanent rules for sections in my mock-up. I admit the lack of description but the way I saw it was that all colouring (both: simple and with syntax) should be based on easily editable templates. Clicking on presented icons would allow you to change colour or rules easily. Of course it could be applied for paragraph, lines or maybe separate words.

I also understand that text cannot store formatting information and that is why I have mentioned "project files".

The simplest way I saw it was: select text, RMB, choose rule (either complex syntax or colour only), done (with some indicators in gutter). That's all.

What I've made is just one fake screen of something bigger.

General Software Discussion / Re: Want to print artist/album list of ogg/mp3 files

« Last post by fenixproductions on May 07, 2009, 07:37 AM »

I am almost sure that some "music libraries" can do such work but I've used Total Commander for it

It might sound complicated but, for me, it takes no more than 3 minutes:
1. go to main music folder,
2. switch to branch view,
3. apply custom filter to see mp3 files only,
4. switch view to custom column view which uses anytag.wdx plugin,
5. select all files and use cm_CopyFileDetailsToClip function,
6. paste it in TedNPad,
7. select whole text and use "Tools -> Lines -> Columns&numbers" feature to cut out not needed data (like songs names),
8. use "Tools -> Lines -> Unique" feature,
9. use Print,
10. done

After whole this work the output is something like:

Ozzy Osbourne   Bark At The Moon
Ozzy Osbourne   The Ozzman Cometh
Ozzy Osbourne   The Essential Ozzy Osbourne CD 2
Ozzy Osbourne   The Essential Ozzy Osbourne CD 1

Maybe draw sample mock-up to explain what do you have on mind

This is what I've understood:



Basing on that, text editor with syntaxt highlight could be OK if it allows to use multiple highlighting schemes in one document. It would work with TXT+project files in similar way to HTML (with divs) + CSS.

« Last post by fenixproductions on May 06, 2009, 08:23 AM »

According to Newsletter for May 6th, 2009 there are 10 free Total Commander licences to give away.

I've decided that 5 of them will be given randomly to members who will participate in DC by writing software review in May, 2009.

So if you are using excellent tool with a lot of nice features and you think someone else would be glad to hear about it... write your review in Reviews section of this forum.

You've got three weeks to break your laziness down and win TC licence key.

Short info: https://www.donation...ndex.php?topic=18207

I think it would be nice to give 5 licences to "May reviewers" (randomly selected). That way DC can gain an information about good software and maybe break someone's laziness.

The rest of them are up to mouser's decision / ideas.

I don't think it's an option. It would be the best to give licences to people who participate here a little bit more. That is why it could be the best for you to take your time and write review of your favourite software. It doesn't mean another TC description.

You are free to write about almost anything. If you think you are using excellent tool with nice features... and you are sure someone else can find it useful, then write about it. It is "May offer" so you have about three weeks to do so. I think there is plenty of time even for lazy people

General Software Discussion / Re: character encoding keeps changing to Cyrillic in WinXP

« Last post by fenixproductions on May 05, 2009, 09:48 PM »

Just guessing...

1. Try to delete fonts cache file (C:\WINDOWS\system32\FNTCACHE.DAT) and restart your PC.

2. remove all non-english localisation settings (like Cyrillic support) and install again after restart,

3. export two registry keys and compare them with ones from correctly working Windows:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\FontSubstitutes
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Font

4. there is possibility that system fonts (System, Fixedsys, Small Fonts, MS Serif, MS Sans Serif, Courier, Arial CE, Courier New CE, Times New Roman CE, Helv, Tms Rmn) are corrupted, so you can always take them from other PC and install again,
