Mircryption / Re: mircryption for NodeJS
« Last post by mouser on March 31, 2020, 12:15 PM »
It's an interesting question.. I have been doing quite a bit of nodejs coding myself lately.
But I don't know of any nodejs code out of the box that can do mircryption.

However, the encryption and decryption are basically just the blowfish algorithm, running in ecb and cbc mode.  So that's the javascript code you'd want to hunt for.

Hmm checking here I don't see any 21 item limit-- I am showing so far 35 and counting if I add them..
When you say a 21 limit, can you take a screenshot?

Ok thanks, that clarifies it -- I forgot there was that menu -- it also shows those items in the quick paste popup dialog.  I will look into your suggestions and see if I can remove the limits as well.

The limit of 21 actions you are mentioning.. Are you talking about a limit of the number of items in the "Quick actions on selected text" submenu of the pop-up menu, or something else?

Screenshot Captor / Re: Error sending mail
« Last post by mouser on March 30, 2020, 02:54 PM »
 :Thmbsup:

This isn't the first time a security program has caused INVISIBLE problems with screenshot captor.  Sometimes they block screen grabbing as well.

The problem with these security programs is not when they block things, it's when they do so WITHOUT WARNING you about what they are doing, so you can't figure out why something is not working.

Screenshot Captor / Re: Error sending mail
« Last post by mouser on March 30, 2020, 02:33 PM »
1.
Shades guess of outlook not being registered as the default mail client might be a good guess as to why the "Default mail client" option might not be working.

2.
If you use the 64-bit version of ScreenShot Captor
SC only exists as a 32-bit version.

3.
The reason the last option method you are trying to use of "Use a 3rd party commandline email program" might be that SC doesn't by default install sendEmail.exe
You'll find instructions on how to download it and where to put it in your ScreenshotCaptor\Tools\sendEmail\ directory
(the readme tells you to download from http://caspian.dotco.../Software/SendEmail/ and then put it in that directory).

4.
I'm not sure why the direct SMTP wouldn't be working, though i know sometimes smtp configurations can be tricky getting the port right, etc.

Screenshot Captor / Re: Delete white space
« Last post by mouser on March 30, 2020, 05:37 AM »
Deleting backgrounds is a function almost always best left to proper image editing tools in all but the most trivial of cases.   So my best advice is to not try to use SC to do this job.  SC makes it easy to configure a proper image editing tool so that you can launch it with one button press, and SC will reload a modified image and preserve any objects, etc.

So bottom line is, use a good image editing tool to remove background stuff!

Having said that, the new function under the "SpecialFx1" menu, labeled "Delete contents of selection..." and you would trigger that after you have made a selection.  Normally you make a selection by simply clicking and dragging out a rectangular region, but you can also engage SC's more complex selection methods, include magic wand, from the Edit -> Selection Mode menu.


Now, while I have advised using a proper image editing application to remove backgrounds, there are two operations commonly done on screenshots (not photos) which SC *IS* good at, and many people don't know about.  These are:

1. Splicing out horizontal or vertical sections of a screenshot.  This is super useful for doing things like removing a banner on a web page screenshot, etc.  And I use this a lot.  SC has a nice quick function for this under the SpecialFx2 menu, labeled "Splice out.."

2. Erasing some text or small item in a screenshot, which sits on a solid background.  Again this is very useful for tweaking screenshots.  You'll find this function labeled "Patch text/contents" under the SpecialFx2 menu.

Both of these functions are fast and easy and blunt force actions that can very very useful when working with screenshots.

In my testing, if you update a file in the Screenshots directory, SC will refresh it's thumbnail panel, but I don't see it grabbing focus, it stays as a background window.

Hi MikleB.

Let me see if I can reproduce it.. There's no reason that SC should be grabbing focus in such a case.

Of course, keep the suggestions and feature requests coming.. I've just spent several weeks on a major update to another of my apps (Clipboard Help+Spell) and that is just wrapping up.

DC Gamer Club / Re: Mafia 1 and Mafia 2 - Atmosphere done right - Travel back in time to the 1940s
« Last post by mouser on March 25, 2020, 10:10 AM »
I've finally gotten around to starting Mafia 3 -- in an attempt to get some escape from the real world.
It's much harder to get into, and not nearly as satisfying, but it does grow on you.. The acting is great, the story is good (though it can't compare to Mafia 2), and it's BIG.

I definitely enjoyed 2 more.. Mafia 3 seems to be more on the bandwagon of making you grind away doing millions of little missions hunting every square inch of map, slowly unlocking perks and collecting a million tiny little items hidden behind millions of locked doors, etc.   And a huge set of little micro-management of upgrade tree, etc.  Where 2 was more focused on a linear story and less grinding.  But still, the developers of these games have a real vision for creating a world and story that feels gritty and real.

The music is, as with the Mafia 1 and 2, absolutely outstanding, and adds a huge amount to the game.
It's amazing how these games make you feel like you are living in these worlds..

« Last post by mouser on March 25, 2020, 07:50 AM »
Can you try this beta and see how it works:

(There are actually two ways I could handle this -- resolve the environmental variables in the .LNK files, or launch the .LNK files directly; this version tries the latter in this case, but I could also try the former method.  Let's try this one first).

LaunchBar Commander / Re: LBC should resolve environment variables in .lnk files
« Last post by mouser on March 25, 2020, 07:35 AM »
So your using a node on LBC that shows the contents of a folder, and when you click a .lnk file in the directory contents menu shown, it doesn't replace the environmental variables in those links properly?
