Nice find.

With a higher bandwidth, it might be interesting to use as an alternative network :)

Thanks for the change!

If that's the only difference, would you still like testing?

Ah I think I see what's going on -- somehow I was expecting the portable version to be configured to look for settings and friends in the directory containing the exe.  It doesn't by default I guess.

I guess I misunderstood.  Sorry about that.

I tried again (Windows 7 Pro), i.e. non-overwriting installation of portable version -- when I look at the options dialog I see that my custom hotkeys are already set.  I didn't expect this for a portable set up.  Is that the intended behavior?

To clarify, I've only tested portable versions.

What I thought I saw was (under Windows 7 Pro), a new installation of PopUp Wisdom (non-overwriting) already being configured with custom hotkeys.

I'll test again.

[Feature] PopUp Wisdom will now create the default UserQuotes.txt file in the proper user configuration directory (instead of installation directory) on WinVista/7/8.
-mouser (December 02, 2013, 10:00 AM)

Does this happen for the portable version too?  I failed to determine whether it does or not (my preference being that it doesn't happen.)

The newest version seemed to read my old settings (at least the hotkey settings) even though I thought I didn't do an overwriting installation.  May be I messed up?

As far as focus-stealing is concerned, haven't seen it happen for both VirtualBox guest OS installations of XP Pro and 7 Pro.

When the machine in question is broken or I don't trust its content, booting from ISO seems like a better option -- also when it's someone else's PC...

Let me know if it works.

Both VirtualBox guest OS tests, but working better (no stolen focus detected so far) for both Windows XP Pro and Windows 7 Pro :up:

If I were running a server I'd be using Debian as well -- for non-server-related development, I've been finding Arch to be easier from the perspective of creating, installing, and uninstalling software cleanly.

I tend to use Mint via booting one of its isos, so it'd have been nicer not to have to apply an update after booting from the LMDE iso.

Non-Windows Software / *NIX; tesseract OCR experiences
« Last post by ewemoa on December 01, 2013, 10:07 PM »
Recently I've been trying out the tesseract OCR option (both via gimagereader and via the command line) with mixed (but tolerably good IMHO) results at least for English text.

In my usage, I notice occasional recognition results such as:


It seems to me that for some of these cases, there is little point in accepting the results as-is (e.g. "vv" seems like it's seldom used).  I'm about to go through a page with a description of tesseract configuration parameters in hope of turning up something applicable -- but anyone have any relevant tesseract experience to share?


I'm using tesseract 3.02.02.

The "update" I was referring to was the LMDE update pack -- do you do additional "from-Debian" updates as well?


Sorry I wasn't clear in my original post -- I was referring to the process of installing from scratch.

Ah, thanks for the explanation -- I guess that means one starts off with an ISO and then performs at least one update.

If we uncheck that option to set focus, then exit program.
Then restart program, with it appearing in tray.

Then open up notepad, and give it focus.

Now show a popup quote.  Does popup wisdom steal focus?
-mouser (December 01, 2013, 08:17 PM)

No (IMHO this is similar to what I described before), and then if I click the OK button to dismiss the quote, Notepad ends up with focus (I see a flickering of it).  Now if I invoke the hotkey to show a quote, focus is stolen by the quote dialog.

FWIW, I did follow your steps :)


Reproduced similar results using Windows 7 Pro (as guest OS of VirtualBox).

However, a subsequent hotkey invocation leads to focus being stolen here.

does this problem only occur when triggering via hotkey (as opposed to timer?)
-mouser (December 01, 2013, 07:44 PM)

It happens with both (I added a comment to the post above too).

The key here to observing focus not being stolen seems to be to get the Options dialog up first (without any quote showing), clicking on the "OK" button and then either waiting for a quote to appear or using the hotkey.  After one quote dialog appears, subsequent appearances of quote dialogs appear to steal focus consistently (until the options dialog box is brought up with a quote dialog showing and then the "OK" button being clicked.)


FWIW, the testing is being done on a system where PopupWisdom had never been installed before.

Anyone know if there will be any more work on the Debian-based flavor?

Testing whether focus gets stolen seems to yield different results.

Right after clicking the "OK" button of the Options dialog (with no quote dialog showing), using the hotkey to bring up a new quote does not lead to focus being stolen.  However, a subsequent hotkey invocation leads to focus being stolen here.

Similar behavior was observed for the case of waiting for quotes to appear -- in contrast to summoning one by hotkey.

Tried under Windows XP Pro (as guest OS of Virtualbox).

Focus seemed to still be stolen even with unchecking "Popup gets Active Focus":

v131120 new db format; works with pdf files with complex pagelabels (1,2,i,ii,iii,1.1,1.2,3,4,5...)
-Nod5 (November 20, 2013, 02:53 PM)

Seems to be working here :)

I found a workaround that doesn't need pdftk. The grid should now work with any file. If a page is earmarked that has a pagelabel other than a roman or arabic number s_e uses "pagecount" (the position of the page in the pdf file) in the grid for that pdf.

Nice!

« Last post by ewemoa on November 20, 2013, 01:35 AM »
Thanks for the response -- is it correct that without signing up for an account functionality is fairly limited?  I installed it and went to try out some of the functionality but I keep getting some dialog about signing up...when I decline, I don't seem to get very far.  Not to my liking if so...I have updated my requirements to reflect this ;)


Is there a name for apps that require accounts?  Or perhaps a name for apps that don't?  If not, may be it's time to come up with some good names :)

@Deozaan:

Did you end up finding something to your liking?


I'm looking for something that will for starters:

  • Allow creation of own recipes
  • Store ingredient list per recipe
  • Import/Export from/to file
  • Associate at least one image with each recipe
  • Search by recipe name as well as ingredients
  • Provide a way to browse recipes by the associated images -- plus filter based on name / ingredient search criteria
  • Functions adequately without signing up for an account

Things that seem to come close include:
