DonationCoder.com Newsletters / Re: Super-sized Newsletter for April 2nd, 2018 - A Fundraiser to Celebrate 13 years

Very impressive !!
I'm looking forward to checking out the discounts / giveaways :up:

Had a query about donating credits already in my dc account (whether they will count towards the total if I donate them to the site) but see you locked the thread: Fundraiser 2018 Discounts and Giveaways Discussion Thread (that must have been by mistake?)

Living Room / Re: On Medical Research Bureaucracy and the Institutional Review Board

A good read.
Another quote:

this is happening at the same time we’re becoming increasingly aware of the shortcomings of big-name research. Half of psychology studies fail replication; my own field of psychiatry is even worse. And citizen-scientists and science bloggers are playing a big part in debunking bad research: here I’m thinking especially of statistics bloggers like Andrew Gelman and Daniel Lakens, but there are all sorts of people in this category. And both Gelman and Lakens are PhDs with institutional affiliations – “citizen science” doesn’t mean random cavemen who don’t understand the field – but they’re both operating outside their day job, trying to contribute a few hours per project instead of a few years. I know many more people like them – smart, highly-qualified, but maybe not going to hire a team of paper-pushers and spend thousands of dollars in fees in order to say what they have to say. Even now these people are doing great work – but I can’t help but feel like more is possible.

I found Umidigi S2 PRO, would you invest in it?

would you recommend it? what caught your eye?
Btw, what's the difference between the Pro & Lite versions?

As for its screen, sound quality, signal, robustness? I think that would matter most for me.

I cant speak for mouser, but always think that's a bit of a foolish approach, hoping someone will not only do something for you, but then also go out of their way to contact you about it. I know it's commonly seen: but I suspect the people making that request have little success.

One solution would be to subscribe to the thread, you will get notification of new posts -- either make a new post, click 'Preview', (or edit your post), and tick 'Notify of replies' below the text field.
Or just get Screenshot Captor to check for updates on Startup (preferences).

Getting back to the art --

I like yours there too mouser:
the first text one, is there a story there in the written text?

and is there a story in (or behind) the text in this one?

Living Room / Re: Image attachment problems
« Last post by tomos on March 21, 2018, 04:45 AM »
I have tried three times to post a handful of images.  Once I accidentally attached a .psd file, another time a .tif, the last time one (or all) were too large.  Every time the editor undoes *all* of the attachments instead of just the offenders.  I've already spent 15 minutes.  I'll try again later, maybe.
-BGM (March 20, 2018, 09:34 PM)
may be of help:
due to huge size of modern photo files, I've started taking a screenshot of the image, or images that I want to post. Easy to upload then -- from Screenshot Captor anyways -- and the image isn't too big visually either.
(FWIW also has advantage not having the original exif data or filename.)

Drag&Drop Robot / Re: How to get it to work with File2Folder?
« Last post by tomos on March 21, 2018, 04:42 AM »
^well I sent you on the wrong track by suggesting drag & drop robot.
(I had also misread your post and thought you wanted the folder name be different from file name... but all sorted now :up:)
868
Drag&Drop Robot / Re: How to get it to work with File2Folder?
« Last post by tomos on March 20, 2018, 06:40 PM »
had a closer look,
you wanted:
Isn't it possible to batch process the basic task of File 2 Folder? i.e., I have 10 files name file 1.txt, file 2. text, file 3.txt,.... (one click batch process) and have them each go to folders named 'file 1', 'file 2', 'file 3', etc...
It would seem very useful when you want to run the basic File 2 Folder action but on multiple - and in my case hundreds! - files in one step?
-chumbolito (October 28, 2017, 03:22 AM)

from the Files 2 Folder help file:
4) If you have selected multiple files and choose 'Files 2 Folder' from the
   menu, a box will pop up with three options:
      1) [..]
      2) Move each file to individual subfolders based on their names e.g.:
          Good.bat   -> .\Good\Good.bat
          Better.txt -> .\Better\Better.txt
http://www.dcmembers...es_2_folder/help.txt

is that not what you wanted?
Okay, it's not one click, but it's two (I think) and that for as many files as you want...

I'm not sure, it's confusing because it's not the same thread where I had posted the same request and from which this app was suggested as a solution. So go here and you'll see my post and the replies to it: https://www.donation....msg413800#msg413800
-chumbolito (February 16, 2018, 05:13 PM)
hi Chumbolito,
Skwire, who replied to your post at that link, is the author of Files2Folders
he recommended another app of his (instead of drag n drop robot) - did you have a look at that?

Screenshot Captor / Re: Images pasted into onenote are half size
« Last post by tomos on March 20, 2018, 10:39 AM »
Here is my screenshots pasted into Onenote at 96 and 30 dpi for the top and bottom tomos' capture from this website, along with a screenshot of the entire website that was pasted into onenote with a ctrl-v after the screen was captured.As you can see the full page image is tiny compared to the small part of the screen that was captured.
-absoblogginlutely (March 20, 2018, 10:12 AM)

so OneNote ignores dpi and auto-resizes the pasted image depending on the size of it...
871
Screenshot Captor / Re: Images pasted into onenote are half size
« Last post by tomos on March 20, 2018, 10:09 AM »
^yeah, I guess unless the size of the images pasted in OneNote has changed recently, this is probably a OneNote thing. If pasting often I can see though why someone would prefer it pasted 'just right', as opposed to needing dragging to resize.
872
Screenshot Captor / Re: Images pasted into onenote are half size
« Last post by tomos on March 20, 2018, 09:34 AM »
My DPI was originally set to 96. I set it to 75 and the images are still showing up tiny in Onenote.
-absoblogginlutely (February 28, 2018, 12:00 PM)
was there no change at all?
try going the other direction: e.g. 140dpi

maybe even take a screenshot @96dpi
then change the dpi setting and take same shot again -- paste both into onenote and see what exactly the difference is, if any.
If none, you've at least completely ruled out that aspect.

I say go for it.
I reckon I was at my most creative around the age of four -- came across this (again) lately:
a painting done for St. Patrick's day (hence the harps; the green for shamrock: we used wear coloured paper harp brooches on our lapels with a bunch of shamrock) apparently painted at the age of four. Back of picture also of interest :-)

thanks for picking out those -- there are some lovely paintings there.
My favourites from those are the Goldfinch with wallpaper behind, and the Chickadee on the sewing machine. I grew up with one of those sewing machines, one of my sisters still has it:
