you can't always stop the car safely in sufficient time to let them get out of the car to do it

The old London taxi cabs were a good bet. They had a trap door in the floor at the back.

Lotsa good stuff!

… but it's no good to me if it's going to keep moving around like that. There won't be time for me to get my mouse pointer to the right place.

Screenshot Captor / Re: What buttons should be in Screenshot Captor post-capture dialog?

« Last post by cranioscopical on February 24, 2013, 07:40 PM »

Might it be useful to have an option to change the captured file name to whatever is the caption?

Might be nice to have an option for that.. something like "use initial X characters of custom comment as filename"..

-mouser (February 24, 2013, 07:33 PM)

Sounds good, if anyone else thinks it might be useful.
Since I can't count much beyond, um... 11, would there be an 'all' option or would entering an oversized number get the whole caption e.g. 'This is my caption' -> use the first 100 characters -> 'This is my caption'

You're a fast worker!

Works well for me at adding a caption.
I'd forgotten about the pop-up option but that's quite a handy way to set a caption.

There's so much available in SC that I have the feeling that I never use more than about 30% of its capability. (Yes, I watched the movies.)

Basically it just melts these little glue "sticks" into liquidy gel which you apply to the area.. and it bonds very quickly

General Software Discussion / Re: Looking for a minimalist Desktop Calendar Application..

« Last post by cranioscopical on January 31, 2013, 12:34 AM »

That is, I just want to simulate a physical wall calendar: you can click to edit in any day box and it should act like a memo where you can simply edit and type the plain text in that box.

-mouser (January 30, 2013, 11:41 PM)

I used to do exactly this with a WordPerfect calendar — just click in a box and type away. I don't know what word processor you use, but you might take a dekko at its templates.

Now I use VueMinder and am as happy with it as those others who have commented about it here.

I think that making selection "sticky" would help with your issue. I will take a look on it.

@fenixproductions

Hi 

A wish-list item for your consideration.
When modifying text style (italic/bold/underline etc.) check for any immediately preceding style and make tags cumulative.

example:
highlight this then hit italic, then immediately hit bold

currently yields [i]this[b][/b][/i]

would prefer     [i][b]this[/b][/i]

Stretching the definition of a gadget somewhat but...

I just installed one of these dual-bay SSD enclosures. It's really handy to pop out one SSD and stick in another. A nice, clean way to change OS's.
About US$50
