Clipboard Help+Spell / Re: Database size
« Last post by mouser on August 26, 2013, 07:45 AM »
that is just insanity..

I wouldn't have thought it was possible to cause CHS to do this, so i'm keen to figure out what in your settings might be causing it.

But one thing that jumps out is in your ConfigDir.ini file, you should not have the \Database part.  it should be
N:\ClipboardHelpAndSpellPortable

And then the program will automatically know to use the Database subdirectory for the database, and the main directory for its settings.

That would explain why you get one level of repeated directories (N:\ClipboardHelpAndSpellPortable\Database\Database) but not the infinite recursion.. that's surely a bug..  i'll try to find it.

Meanwhile you can backup and then fix your ConfigDir.ini and delete all those folders and start again, and see if it comes back.

Can you also check the "Image Capture" tab and see what it says for "Image File Naming"?

I think you'll find that the "random" image that shows up is the currently loaded image.

In other words, it will always list the currently loaded image, even if it doesn't match the search.

Multi Photo Quotes / Re: Manual installation of QuotesDaddy.com online quote fetcher book addon?
« Last post by mouser on August 26, 2013, 07:09 AM »
Just unzip this into your Books directory:
https://www.donation.../dyn_quotesdaddy.zip

Basically the quotesdaddy "addon" is just a small file.

After unpacking you should have MpsMedia/Books/dyn_quotesdaddy/dyn_quotesdaddy.txt

Restart MPQ and the quotesdaddy book should be in your list.

Screenshot Captor / Re: SSC + Dropbox + AutoIT = awesomeness
« Last post by mouser on August 25, 2013, 07:42 PM »
Welcome to the site VADemon, and thank you for sharing!

So just to clarify for others who are not too familiar with dropbox, what's being done here.

This isn't UPLOADING anything.

What's happening is you have configured Screenshot Captor to save into your public dropbox folder on your local pc, and this tool simply creates the url string that would point to a screenshot and copies it to the clipboard, so you can share the link with people.

For people who don't want this done to EVERY capture, a nice addition to the exe would be to give it an option to COPY the file into a configured dropbox directory before doing its thing.  Then configure it as a TOOL in the screenshot captor menu, rather than something run after every capture.  That way you wouldn't have to have all screenshots get saved directly into the public dropbox folder, only those that you ran the tool on, and then rather than have it run after EVERY capture.

Living Room / Re: Funny Animal Videos
« Last post by mouser on August 25, 2013, 04:12 PM »
I consider myself very sensitive to possibilities of animal cruelty, and as a cat owner i would never post anything that i felt was cruelty to a cat or any other animal.

Reasonable people could disagree, but from my decades of experience having cats as pets, this is not a cat in distress.  I wouldn't say he's "enjoying" it, but he doesn't seem very bothered by it if you ask me.

There are some cats that do NOT like to be manipulated or picked up or held, and they will not stand for it and will resist it every step of the way.  And then there are other cats who don't seem to mind being cuddled and manipulated and moved around.  Looks like we have a category two exemplar right here.

Finished Programs / Re: DONE: Change (sub) folder(s) date based on newest/oldest file in the folder
« Last post by mouser on August 25, 2013, 10:18 AM »
I'll jump in here since this is a pet peve of mine:

When you see a malware scanner report something like:
GData and Bitdefender reported: Gen:Trojan.Heur.AutoIT.1

That's it's way of telling you: "I AM A STUPID LAZY IRRESPONSIBLE MALWARE SCANNER"

The signs are there, you just have to know how to read the detection report.

You can tell by the name it's giving the detection, that "HEUR" means "HEURISTIC", in other words, a guess, a generic thing it found that it doesn't know what it's looking at.

And then the "Heur.AutoIT" is the final nail in the coffin.  What it's basically reporting is that this tool was made with the AutoIt language, AND NOTHING MORE.

So basically this irresponsible lazy stupid malware company is deciding that it's just going to mark EVERY tool on the planet created with AutoIt language as "possible" malware, and scare everyone who doesn't know better.

I've ranted on this behavior for a while, but it is absolutely irresponsible of these companies.  I can appreciate them being overly cautious, but they need to stop marking stuff that they don't understand as being "DETECTED".  If they want to show a window that says "This program was built with the AutoIt language, and cannot be further analyzed so it is impossible for us to know if it's safe." that would be fine.  But they need to stop pretending they have detected malware signs when they haven't.

These false positives happen all the time with the AutoIt and AutoHotkey languages, and it has a very serious and unfair detrimental affect on the usability of these languages.  I blame the antivirus companies almost entirely, but the AutoIt and AutoHotkey communities also must share in some of the blame for not rising up and mounting a real effort to get the anti-malware companies to stop this outrageous behavior.

Hi aparente.

1. We should fix any reference to bugtracker -- after using it for a while we decided it was overkill and went back to using the forum.

2. Will fix that above/below text, thanks.

3. There should be a link to a login, but you're right it would be smarter to have a login directly on that page.

Glad you are liking Screenshot Captor! I'm about to release a new update.

As for getting better at it -- there are some videos here that might give you some ideas: https://www.donation...r.com/screencasts/sc

You did really good!

It's not at aaron's level, but it's very good!

I think with a better microphone that would clean up the noise, you're good to go.  I think you should go for it.

Two suggestions:

1. Having a good quality microphone and recording it someplace where there is no background noise, is INSANELY important.  It makes all the difference in the world in terms of having a *CLEAN* audio recording.  Do *NOT* think you can "just clean it up in post processing."  So, do not record anything more than tests until someone with some audio skills gives you the green light.  Compare the noise in your recording with Aarons and the difference is clear.  Maybe ask aaron for some tips on microphone setup.

2. Lay out the list of characters and see if you can't nail down some slight changes in voicing for them.  People here could give some feedback about it.

Screenshot Captor / Screenshot Captor Early Beta Release: v4.6.4 Beta - Sep 11, 2013
« Last post by mouser on August 24, 2013, 03:25 PM »
Early beta to try:


Let me know how it works.

v4.6.4 BETA - September 11, 2013
  • [Feature] Added new shape option for arrows (circle endpoints).
  • [Feature] New quick-search-bar for easy filtering of screenshots listed in thumbnail panel (see view menu).
  • [Feature] Added File menu item to close current file and have nothing loaded.
  • [Feature] You can now sort standard thumbnail sidebar with newest at top if you like.
  • [Feature] New option (enabled by default) to auto-select next file after deletions.
  • [Feature] New option (Print tab) to invert colors of printouts (maybe useful if printing mostly black images on laser printer).
  • [Feature] New help panel when in object editing mode (you can disable this new behavior from the Object Drawing options tab).
  • [Feature] The Caption toolbar button will now help you EDIT an existing caption, replacing and resizing the existing caption text object.
  • [Feature] New item in Object menu to remove an existing caption.
  • [Improvement] If user accidentally loads a second instance, the error message and behavior is clearer.
  • [Improvement] SC now remembers sorting column+direction in list/detail thumbnail sidebar modes.
  • [Improvement] Improved sizing of columns in different detail view modes; new simple left hand list mode.
  • [Improvement] When set to stay minimized after capture, if SC was onscreen when capture initiated, it would jump to front and not always relinquish foreground window after completion.  Note that the SC window does return to the screen and not minimize if it was on screen when capture initiated.
  • [Improvement] Better support for dragging and dropping images from other programs (especially web browser) onto main window.
  • [Improvement] Starting your word in the new screenshot filter edit box with ~ will show files that do NOT match what it typed next.
  • [Improvement] Caption dialog form now has a multiline memo for the caption text.
  • [Change] Iff multiple images are selected, the toolbar delete button will now delete all instead of just the current image.
  • [Change/Bugfix] Line/Arrow labels with "no-border" mode set could sometimes show a border; now the no-border option shows no border and draws label text directly over existing background.
  • [BugFix] Print preview settings (margins, orientation, etc.) triggered from post-capture dialog were not being synchronized with main print preview settings.
  • [BugFix] If you brought up Print setup dialog, and from their print properties dialog, it could be hidden behind main window.
  • [BugFix] Fixed case where the last file might not be loaded (or scrolled down to) at start of program.
  • [BugFix] The fix to keep printer setup dialog on top was messing with other forms appearing behind main window.
  • [BugFix] When SC was on screen at time of initiating capture, sometimes the current foreground window was not preserved as focused window (and did not show up in capture as an active window).
  • [BugFix] If a modal message was showing, it was possible to toggle main form visible or initiate a capture, hiding the modal message.
  • [BugFix] Redbox (scrolling and object capture modes) were not obeying the stay-minimized-after-capture options.
  • [BugFix] Choosing an object (like arrow) to draw, and changing properties BEFORE drawing, was not obeying new settings.
  • [BugFix] Fixed an error that could occur when using network paths for home/screenshot/config directories.

« Last post by mouser on August 24, 2013, 11:55 AM »
Question:

After deleting one or more images from the thumbnail, would you want it to actually SELECT (and load) the next thumbnail in the list (either one before or after the one deleted)?

If so, which? The one before or the one after?

Or would you strongly prefer it NOT load anything and leave the current selection blank -- as long as it didn't scroll the thumbnail panel anywhere?

normally i set the LV to sort by modified date but it will randomly reset itself to sort by name.

this will be fixed in next release (4.6).

as for the small name column though, that is still somewhat of a mystery to me.
