General Software Discussion / Re: anyone know a commandline tool to add a line of text to end of a text file?

« Last post by AbteriX on October 07, 2005, 06:10 AM »

Thanks rjbull,
that's very helpfully.

I played around a bit (i like unix tools but i have mostly plain dos commends only):

>To append file1 at the end of file2, type
>        cat file1 >> file2
C:\>type file1 >>file2

To append a line of text at the end of file2, type
C:\>echo "some text" >>file2

To append a line of text at the beginn of file3, type
C:\>echo "some text" >tmpfile && type file3 >> tmpfile && ren tmpfile file3

« Last post by AbteriX on October 06, 2005, 10:11 AM »

[.13] there is no CANCEL in Settings dialog...
even if i leave with the [X] button the modifications are taken.

I mean, one should be able to play around in settings
and leave the dialog by canceling the modifcations.

i.e.
i miss an [Cancel]-button.

Screenshot Captor / [.13] failure 'cus old changes are not saved yet

« Last post by AbteriX on October 06, 2005, 09:42 AM »

This behaviour is not so good:

- i modify just an shot
- while doing so, i do an another shot
- but SC comes NOT to front ('cus i be asket to "change my modifies or not" in the back ground)
- the windows i want to capture is still in front (instead of the SC save dialog)


i.e
if SC wants an responce from me
his dialog box should come in front.

General Software Discussion / GrabCaptureScreen: Boum gives up and ends his development

« Last post by AbteriX on October 03, 2005, 10:01 AM »

GrabCaptureScreen

From
http://boumchalak.ne...content/view/167/60/

Written by Administrator     
Thursday, 15 September 2005 

You might have guessed. I am sorry to announce today that this project, "Boumchalak software" is no
longer active. I will maintain this site as a place where you can download my freeware programs,
but that's it.
...

I will also announce that I will release the source code of GrabCaptureScreen under GPL - so, this is also a
call for participation: if there are people willing to take over coordination of the project, this ending might
be the beginning of something new and exiting - it's up to you.

Thanks Boum and all the good for you

Unfinished Requests / IDEA: create Files from a file list (for Renamer test)

« Last post by AbteriX on September 28, 2005, 06:15 AM »

For testing renamer and regex tools
i need often temp-files to play with.

So i had 1. an text file with a lot of  file names
filelist.txt:

...
06 Jeep Purple - Snake off the Water.mp4
07 Foo Flighters - Monkey Brench.mp4
08 Grave  Dogger  -  Heavy Metal breakdown.mp4
09 Halloqueen - Heavy Metal is t Law.mp4
...

2. an "Dummy.txt" file as base for the new file

and 3. a little AHK script to "generate" new files every day new.

FileGen.ahk

[Select]

FileSelectFile, vDateiListe,,,DateiListe laden

vZahl = 0
Loop
{
   vZahl += 1
   FileReadLine, vLine, %vDateiListe%, %vZahl%
   
   if ErrorLevel <> 0
      break

FileCopy,  Dummy.txt, %vLine%
}

MsgBox, Das Ende der Liste wurde erreicht (Oder es gab ein Problem)
return

Maybe this is for interrest for someone
and maybe one {skrommel ?  } would want to improve this,... feel free to do so.

Unfinished Requests / IDEA: "Runas" standard programs and own tools

« Last post by AbteriX on September 20, 2005, 10:05 AM »

Hi,
i think it would be nice to have an little tool
for starting all this standard windows tools
and our own apps we need for administration issues.

Maybe one want to wrote something like this
or one have an link to such an tool.
Also i search for an list of all standard installed windows tools (an .CPL list i got already)
The standard folder i could read from the registry.



I think about an tool how
- have an dialog for user name and password
- read the local user names and view them for choosing
- allow domain login (dom\user or user@dom)
(like the commandline tool but with an GUI and some aid)

There should be:
- buttons to start all the standard windows apps we need for admin issues
- buttons to start the default system and user folders
- buttons to start our own tools

All settings should be stored in an INI (NO registry access)
There should be no installation needed, just unpack and use


-----
With this tool we could work without admin rights
and quick start an program with admin rights (for W2k users too  )

Or we could work as admin
and start e.g. the browser with less rights (like DropMyRights)

----
I have already found an tool who starts
mostly all tools they came with windows
but have no user name box and no appility for own apps.

XP Syspad from http://www.xtort.net/xtort/xpsyspad.php

Right now i had to make an shortcut from it
and set in the proberties "Run as other User..."

-----
And iam in hard discusse with Dirk
to improve his own tool what cames
very near what i dream of
but he have less joy to improve his tool further more
than i instigate him till now 

There is no officical web side right now any more
but an blog we "discusse" right now (i suggest and he says yes or no)
The conversation is current in german but you could stay in in english if you want.

Screenshot Captor / Direction of "Start Arrow" is wrong, isn't it ?

« Last post by AbteriX on September 19, 2005, 11:52 AM »

As seen in my shot
i had selected "Start Arrow"
and drawed a line from (1) to (2).


'cus of "Start Arrow"
i suggest (think) the arrow peak should be on point (1) {the Start}
but it is on point (2) instead.

If i want the arrow peak on point (2) at it is now in the picture
I would think i must set "End Arrow" (what not is thrue right now)

And vise versa with "End Arrow"

Am i wrong in understanding ?

the only one im not sure about is the "auto save changes"

for new users should start out set to "confirm on file replace"

-mouser (September 19, 2005, 07:53 AM)

Yes, exactly 

or are you saying there is some bug where it is automatically switching to "auto save changes?"

New unpacked SC "General settings"
is always "[] Auto save changes"

was is bad in my eyes

'cus it saves my screenshots with my "playing around test" immediately.

So my shot is lost and i have to do another one (if i had the possibility)

I suggest "Confirm on file replace" should be the standard.


---
"On Captur"
"[] Hide ourselves"
should named
"[] Hide Captor"
to be better understanded, special by non-good-english speakers.

---

"User Clipart Dir:"
Button on the right point to an EXE, not to an folder.

And all dialog boxes (Image Editor and File Explorer)
have the same caption "Select the Image Editor Program"
(i.e. "Select the File Explorer Program" is missed)
Eought would be to rename to "Select Program"

Screenshot Captor / Re: Screenshot Captor - License file

« Last post by AbteriX on September 14, 2005, 04:31 AM »

I don't think that it works that way.
[...]
That is what makes me wondering - without license - freeware,
with license freeware which requires renewal. Shouldn't it be the other way?

-uwe (September 14, 2005, 02:45 AM)

Hi Uwe,
it's nice you stay in discusses with us 

> without license - freeware,
Fact: Freeware with an reminder,  after 15 days of trial.
Question: how "deranging" is this reminder ???

> with license freeware
Fact: Freeware with the "plea" to visit the web side after an half an year again.
Question: what happens with your installed soft if you not renew your freeware lizenz after 180 days ???

I think, after 180 days you go back to "non-licencs"-version with the reminder.

So with freeware licence you get rid of the reminder for 180 days.

In both ways you be remind to visit the web side again: see for updates or other freeware soft or join the community... or just say hello and that you use the soft and how...

As third substitute one could make a small donation, wrote a post card to mouser, send in new suggestions
or bug reports to get an lifetime licence for ever (or even simple ask mouser to get an licence)
