General Software Discussion / Re: ZIP 2 Secure EXE - Freeware

« Last post by kartal on August 08, 2008, 12:18 PM »

bump!

Can anyone please explain the difference between self extracting zip and this particular sfx program? Anything special about it? The explanation on its website was not very revealing to me.

There is a freeware "SFX Compiler" (http://www.uticasoft...ucts/sfxcompiler.htm) that allows multiple files of different types to be compressed into a single EXE file. No encryption though.

czechboy, which part should be enclosed by ""? I tried couple variations and getting the same usual error.

Farr and console plugin updated to latest, has not produced a solution.

Here is the alias based on your recommandation

1000>>>citytime>->citytime $$1| pcommand console "E:\INCELENECEK_YAZILIMLAR\yardimci yazilimlar\CityTime\citytime.exe $$1">+>^citytime {0,1}(.*?)$

General Software Discussion / Re: What's your preferred File Manager

« Last post by kartal on August 07, 2008, 09:44 PM »

Actually this application is quite sophisticated. It has quite a list of hand features like temp folders, easy filtering, encryption etc. It definetely deserves a second look.

Well this is not my preferred file manager, but it is almost:

AC Browser Plus

http://www.konradp.com/products/acbplus/

This browser is basically free and has many of the coolest and helpful features aiding in file management.  Just for example, the three last used files in any folder are automatically highlighted; it has FTP integration, great multithreading of move and copy operations, fast image browsing, very nice breadcrumb navigation, editorial renaming is ingenious ( edit the file names in a folder like a text in texteditor), it is scriptable, ......   the cool tools,  there are soo many.
Furthermore, the program is stable  (the looks could be polished a bit, though).

So, why is this not my favorite?
AC Browser Plus has a unique windowing philosophy; it does not use the standard dual-pane approach; but instead you can open as many independent browser windows inside the main window as you want. Whoever likes this approach, should absolutely use this program; it is fantastic otherwise (I always thought one uses a filemanager to get rid of the multiple explorer windows ).  For me, multiple windows quickly become a mess that is simply too annoying to navigate.  I sincerely hope a "standard" tabbed dual pane interface can be added to this program. It has great potential.

Screenshot Captor / Re: LATEST MiniCap VERSION INFO THREAD - v1.08.02 - July 05, 2006

« Last post by kartal on August 07, 2008, 02:51 PM »

Mouser please make sure that minicap would respect folder settings (date based folders for example) as well before bringing the file name input window. So one does not need to browse through to find the right folder.


Bringing a graphic editor is not a bad idea either. I know minicap could run apps after execution, but if it can trasnfer the file to the app that would be great.

mouser, keep up the great work please!

Ok here some of my wishes
-Another custom mode in which minicap asks for a file name based on settings. For example I have date based file naming. So when i use this mode, minicap would name the file as todays date and bring a pop up input field where I can modify the actual name(which is based on the date)
-One more mode that would bring a scribble grafic tools in which I would modify the screenshot on the fly.This menu would be shown right after screenshot is taken. Probably couple simple drawing tools like lines and a pen.

that would be great. I would surely prefer a natural embedding of the frink results.

Just you know guys, Frink is frinking cool. It can do stuff like time calculations, extract info from websites like fishing emails or urls, check out time zones etc etc.  Give a try.

ok, I have managed to run Frink from Farr as an aliases. Naturally the results are shown outside of Farr in commandline box. I have tried console plugin but it seems to be broken at the moment.


9000>>>frink>->frink $$1 | E:\WINDOWS\SysWOW64\cmd.exe /k frink.bat "$$1">+>^frink (.*)

I am under 64bit xp that is why my cmd exe is in a weird place normally it is under system32 so for you it should be

9000>>>frink>->frink $$1 | E:\WINDOWS\system32\cmd.exe /k frink.bat "$$1">+>^frink (.*)

To run frink from commandline please carefully follow this section it the help file

http://futureboy.hom.../#CommandLineOptions

You need to download the .bat file mentioned there which is " http://futureboy.hom...t/frinkjar/frink.bat ". Then modify the paths properly inside the .bat file. One thing that is missing in the batch file is "-e" option. I think programmer has forgotten it. So the correct line is is below

"
REM If we're running with arguments,
"%JAVA%" -Xmx192M -cp "%FRINKJAR%" frink.parser.Frink -k -e %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 %9
goto END
"

"-k" means interactive mode, you can remove it if you want frink to calculate and quit calculation mode.

Also make sure that your Frink app folder path is added to environment variables (also mentioned in Frink help).

Once you set all you will have a true calculator that can convert, calculate many zillion things and formats. This one is nicer than google cal because this is an offline solution ( unless you want to do exchange rates).


I am hoping that someone could make a successfull Farr console plugin alias for Farr.

Well that means that user needs to create multiple city time aliases to be able to search for multiple cities which is not that flexible. Anywasy it is a solution at least.

Find And Run Robot / Unresponsive Farr

« Last post by kartal on August 05, 2008, 10:01 PM »

I am sorry I cannot provide any details about this condition. When Farr is in this condition it does not accept any aliases or keywords and shows no sign of life. Only thing I know is I get this once in a while. Only solution is to restart Farr when I get it (once or twice a day). One thing that is consistent about this issue is the text that Farr shows "type agroups to list all aliases". When I have this I cannot close farr at all I mean exiting the app. I need to kill it via task manager.

Is this broken in latest Farr betas? Anytime I paste a path to exe file(ie c:\program files\somehting.exe)  after "cn", Farr starts directory searching


I cannot also get citytime alias working in august 5th update. It was working fine couple versions before

weird, how did they know that he was supposed to have a luggage? Is this implying that anyone who gets on a plane needs to carry a luggage?

I had a business acquaintance get detained because his luggage got stolen from his hotel and he attempted to board a flight out of Denver, CO without it.

Some people like to compare confiscation of laptop to confiscation of luggages. This to me is a flawed logic because one cannot clone your items in your luggage. They can search your luggage right there which would not take more than half an hour. And if they cannot find any suspicious item material they will need to let you go . On the other hand confiscating your laptop is stickier. First they take it then they download or copy the whole content. At this step your whole data is cloned already. They can probably give your laptop back since they do not need it anymore. But then again what if they inject new data into the content and use it against you? How would you know if the data is erased if they cannot find anything important. Digital data can be copied million times, one would never know really.
