Find And Run Robot / Re: help searching recipes.docx from farr?

That's an awesome solution because others can use them to to work on any ms word file that uses bookmarks -- well done 

Firstly, Mouser is clearly one of the greatest individuals of all time! I hope it is known to anyone or anything that ever lives with Mouser that he is never to be hassled with thing like sock pickup, dish cleaning, or anything else at that level.

Ha! I'll have to print that out in case I need it to help me get out of some chores

Screenshot Captor / Re: Tutorial needed to mimic CamScanner (or upgrade ?)

« Last post by mouser on July 12, 2014, 12:39 PM »

First thing might be to watch the demo of SCANNER functions in Screenshot Captor:
https://www.donation...c/3ds/sc13/sc13.html

The Scanner toolbar can be used to descew and similar operations even when using Screenshot Captor to capture from a video camera (which you can do).

Screenshot Captor will also let you select a bunch of images and merge into one pdf.

Interesting idea!

Here would be one way to solve this:

Write a utility that will scan your MS Word document and produce an output file that contains one line for each recipe.

You could EITHER make the tool output an alias file directly, or just output a simple text file that could be referenced using the "#filecontents" alias result.  The later might be easiest and each line of the file would be of the form LABEL | RESULT TO LAUNCH

The actual result that each line would launch would be your url that will open up the document to a particular bookmark.

With such a text file of results (one line for each recipe with the title being the words that would be searched for), you would then create a single alias called "recipes" and so typing "recipes chicken" would find all recipe results with the work chicken in them.

Living Room / Re: The Declaration of Independance- some scholars say we've been reading it wrong.

« Last post by mouser on July 10, 2014, 07:37 AM »

Here we go again.

This thread started out focused on an interesting new academic debate about whether there was scientific evidence of a mis-transcription and its ramifications.
And now has very predictably drifted into yet another discussion of politics.

Can we please try to keep the rants about government in the basement so they stop taking over threads?

And if you absolutely cannot stop yourself from posting about politics in a thread -- just make your point and move on -- it's not fair to the rest of us when these threads become just one or two people arguing (or more often agreeing) back and forth over and over about off-tangent political points that have nothing to do with original topic.

I'm not saying these political topics are not important things for citizens to discuss -- and i'm not saying you aren't providing useful information -- but I am saying that they should not make up such a high percentage of the posts on this forum.  And it's especially harmful when such posts drown out the conversations that otherwise could be taking place.

Please.

Clipboard Help+Spell / Re: DBISAM Engine Error # 9732

« Last post by mouser on July 09, 2014, 03:31 PM »

I suppose it's possible -- it's certainly possible that if another program locked or tried modifiying one of the CHS .dat files that could cause a problem.
But it is very unlikely that simply changing a file association of .dat files could have done this, so I wouldn't be too quick to blame yourself or another program.

I deleted two .dat files. Are these the database files?  DonationCoder_clipboardhelp....dat  and another>

Nope; you want to delete the entire contents of the Clipboard Help and Spell DATABASE subdirectory.
(WHEN I SAY DELETE I MEAN BACK IT UP FIRST JUST IN CASE AND THEN DELETE THE CONTENTS).


The "Database" subdirectory inside your ClipboardHelpAndSpell directory.
This will either be in the installation directory if you are running portably or on Windows XP.
On Windows 7/8 it will be under MyDocuments\DonationCoder\ClipboardHelpAndSpell.

Or, even before you try restoring from a backup, you might try exiting CHS, moving all files out of that Database directory, and then restarting CHS to give you a completely empty blank database.  Make sure that works without any errors, and then try restoring one of those backups.

It sounds like your clip database has gotten corrupted somehow.

Ok let's back up and do first things first:

Exit CHS
Then go to where your CHS database is stored (defaults to Documents\DonationCoder\ClipboardHelpAndSpell\Database).
Zip up that database directory, and copy it someplace safe.
And copy the BACKUPS directory someplace safe.

AFTER you have made copies of all those files, so that we can always go back to where you are now, you might try this:

Then look in your Backups\ directory and see if there is a recent backup file with a date that if you rolled back to you wouldn't lose any important clips.  If so, you can try to restore to that backup from that same Backup/Maintenance tab within CHS.

Close the error message(s) and then go to Options dialog and then to the Backup/Maintenance tab, and then click "Verify or Repair Database".
See if that helps.
