Finished Programs / Re: Move Installed programs from one drive to another.

« Last post by skrommel on February 23, 2006, 11:31 AM »

  This could easily be done using SUBST, _before_ you install any programs.

Just open a command prompt, write SUBST V: C:\Movable_Files  and you've got a virtual drive V: pointing to C:\Movable_Files. Now install your programs to V:\Program Files or something.

Also make a STARTUP.CMD-file with this command and put it in your startup folder.

Later you can move the folder Movable_Files to D:\ or wherever and have everything working as always by updating the SUBST command: Write SUBST V: /D to delete the existing mapping, and SUBST V: D:\Movable_Files to map V: to the new location.

Finished Programs / DONE: MultiMonitorManager

« Last post by skrommel on February 19, 2006, 10:28 PM »

  I've just uploaded a Multi Monitor Manager.

MultiMonMan - Watch and control multiple monitors.

Features:
- Click-through and drag-through
- Resize and move windows
- Choose Save Setup to save window arrangement
- This program uses IrFanView by Irfan Skiljan.



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

But there's a problem. It uses IrFanView's screen capture, so it's slow, and flickers. Anyone knows of a better way of doing this?

18.07.2017: Refreshed the code to run on Windows 10.

  That sound righ, if you ask me. The A_TimeIdle is disturbed by a MouseMove, that's why I wanted to use A_TimeIdlePhysical.

  By push to talk you mean click and hold the mouse down over, say, a tray icon? Or do you need a separate window?

  Not pretending to have all the answers, but isn't it more natural to give this option to Paste instead of Copy (and Cut)?


PlainPaste - Press Ctrl-V once to paste regularly, Ctrl-V twice within 1/3 of a second to paste as text.

Great idea, by the way!

  It seems you're right, LuckMan!

I did try to change the %A_TimeIdlePhysical% to %A_TimeIdle% while debugging, but I only changed the first occurance in the source code! I forgot there were two of them! Thank's for noticing!

Please test the newly uploaded IdleMute v1.9 and report back!

I've added brotherS' second timer that kicks in after the system is muted and idle for a user defined time, and also moved the options around a bit.

  And we're back to square one...

I just downloaded the latest AutoHotkey to see if my version would work better, but now it's the other way around! Only the mouse works!

And that goes for LuckMan212's v1.8a, too!

  Great job, LuckMan212! IdleMute works again!

I made an enquiry at AutoHotkey, but it seems we're the only ones with this problem, and I have had no luck in debugging.

Please tell me what changes you've made, and send me the sourcecode so I can post it!

  Sorry, I reread you post, and it's removing duplicats you want. Are the file names accurate enough to be used to distinguish the files, or should the size/date/CRC be checked, too?
