JGPaiva's GridMove and Ahk Tools / Re: GridMove discussion.
« Last post by jgpaiva on October 03, 2008, 04:30 AM »
 ;D I love your "pseudo-ide" concept, kragenspeck!

But, my request is: would you mind finishing the Help section about Hotkeys?  :)
-kragenspeck (October 03, 2008, 03:25 AM)
Yeah, the help file is missing a serious update and redo, it's on my todo list, but I haven't updated GridMove in a while (busy busy at school), and still have a few features I'd like to add/fix before I update the help file.

Anyways, if you'd like to know something about gridmove, just post away and I'll answer them :)

Living Room / Re: Nice mention of DonationCoder in Windows Secrets Newsletter
« Last post by jgpaiva on October 03, 2008, 04:27 AM »
Cranioscopical: What really upsets me isn't the fact that they self-promote them, it's the fact that they do so by attacking the sites they requested the users to submit!

I just don't think it's fair, they should have said: "please send us your favourite sites so that we can say our newsletter is better than them" (yeah, right :P).

« Last post by jgpaiva on October 02, 2008, 04:49 PM »
Unfortunately, I wouldn't say the rest of the post is very favourable.
Looks like it's more a "windows secrets newsletter is better than those forums" kind of thing, not really mentioning what's good about the forums and focusing on the negative features. I specially dislike the fact that these negative points are generalized, and not really subject to any critic thought.

"The biggest problem I find is that it is sometimes difficult for a 'semi-techie' — one who can find his way around with advice/guidance — to explain his problem so that others can understand what he's getting at.

"Too often, as well, I have found myself (and others) being 'flamed' for not being able to explain our problems in technical terms, whereas the fact is, if we had that level of knowledge/understanding, we wouldn't need the advice!
Obviously, they have no idea what goes on around here, or they'd mentioned that people here try to help everyone and there's only like.. 10 threads that ended bad, in the 14,345 topics!

I think it's a lack of respect to ask people for their favourite sites only to later say that they suck, specially when it's based on unfounded accusations.

something like this should do it (untested!):

[Select]
#persistent
flag:=true
return

f10::
if(not flag)
{
flag := true
return
}
flag:=false
loop
{
random,var,0,10
send,%random%{enter}
sleep,1000
send,{del}{del}
if (flag)
  break

jdd: you're not supposed to edit the script itself, but the .ini file that it creates on its first run.
It should be on the same folder as IdleRun, but should be named "IdleRun.ini", or something similar.

It does sound fishy, Phil.. The first person that posted didn't come back after giving that advice.
Honestly, this'd be a good reason for me to decide for another product.

JGPaiva's GridMove and Ahk Tools / Re: I have made 3 images of grids.
« Last post by jgpaiva on September 29, 2008, 03:28 AM »
Here's the #1 grid:
Spoiler
[Select]
[Groups]
  NumberOfGroups = 3

[1]
  TriggerTop    = [Monitor1Top]
  TriggerRight  = [Monitor1Left] + [Monitor1Width] *2/3
  TriggerBottom = [Monitor1Bottom]
  TriggerLeft   = [Monitor1Left]
  GridTop       = [Monitor1Top]
  GridRight     = [Monitor1Left] + [Monitor1Width]  *2/3
  GridBottom    = [Monitor1Bottom]
  GridLeft      = [Monitor1Left]

[2]
  TriggerTop    = [Monitor1Top] + [monitor1height]/2
  TriggerRight  = [Monitor1Right] - [Monitor1Width]  /10
  TriggerBottom = [Monitor1Bottom]
  TriggerLeft   = [Monitor1Left] + [Monitor1Width]  *2/3
  GridTop       = [Monitor1Top] + [monitor1height]/2
  GridRight     = [Monitor1Right] - [Monitor1Width]  /10
  GridBottom    = [Monitor1Bottom]
  GridLeft      = [Monitor1Left] + [Monitor1Width]  *2/3

[3]
  TriggerTop    = [Monitor1Top]
  TriggerRight  = [Monitor1Right]
  TriggerBottom = [Monitor1Bottom]
  TriggerLeft   = [Monitor1Right] - [Monitor1Width]  /10
  GridTop       = [Monitor1Top]
  GridRight     = [Monitor1Right]
  GridBottom    = [Monitor1Bottom]
  GridLeft      = [Monitor1Right] - [Monitor1Width]  /10


Now, let's see if the second one is better like this:
Spoiler
[Select]
[Groups]
  NumberOfGroups = 3

[1]
  TriggerTop    = [Monitor1Top]
  TriggerRight  = [Monitor1Left] + [Monitor1Width]  /10
  TriggerBottom = [Monitor1Bottom]
  TriggerLeft   = [Monitor1Left]
  GridTop       = [Monitor1Top]
  GridRight     = [Monitor1Left] + [Monitor1Width]  /10
  GridBottom    = [Monitor1Bottom]
  GridLeft      = [Monitor1Left]

[2]
  TriggerTop    = [Monitor1Top]
  TriggerRight  = [Monitor1Right] - [Monitor1Width]  /9
  TriggerBottom = [Monitor1Bottom]
  TriggerLeft   = [Monitor1Left] + [Monitor1Width]  /10
  GridTop       = [Monitor1Top]
  GridRight     = [Monitor1Right] - [Monitor1Width]  /9
  GridBottom    = [Monitor1Bottom]
  GridLeft      = [Monitor1Left] + [Monitor1Width]  /10

[3]
  TriggerTop    = [Monitor1Top]
  TriggerRight  = [Monitor1Right]
  TriggerBottom = [Monitor1Bottom]
  TriggerLeft   = [Monitor1Right] - [Monitor1Width]  /9
  GridTop       = [Monitor1Top]
  GridRight     = [Monitor1Right]
  GridBottom    = [Monitor1Bottom]
  GridLeft      = [Monitor1Right] - [Monitor1Width]  /9

« Last post by jgpaiva on September 28, 2008, 02:30 PM »
Hi Neillithan! Wellcome to DC :)

Regarding #1: don't you prefer to have 2 chat windows and a larger browser window (taking the whole space)? Also, if you're using msn messenger, chat windows might not scale as small as you want them to, unfortunatelly.

Regarding #:2: see if the following will do:
grid inside
[Select]
[Groups]
  NumberOfGroups = 3

[1]
  TriggerTop    = [Monitor1Top]
  TriggerRight  = [Monitor1Left] + [Monitor1Width]  /10
  TriggerBottom = [Monitor1Bottom]
  TriggerLeft   = [Monitor1Left]
  GridTop       = [Monitor1Top]
  GridRight     = [Monitor1Left] + [Monitor1Width]  /10
  GridBottom    = [Monitor1Bottom]
  GridLeft      = [Monitor1Left]

[2]
  TriggerTop    = [Monitor1Top]
  TriggerRight  = [Monitor1Right] - [Monitor1Width]  /10
  TriggerBottom = [Monitor1Bottom]
  TriggerLeft   = [Monitor1Left] + [Monitor1Width]  /10
  GridTop       = [Monitor1Top]
  GridRight     = [Monitor1Right] - [Monitor1Width]  /10
  GridBottom    = [Monitor1Bottom]
  GridLeft      = [Monitor1Left] + [Monitor1Width]  /10

[3]
  TriggerTop    = [Monitor1Top]
  TriggerRight  = [Monitor1Right]
  TriggerBottom = [Monitor1Bottom]
  TriggerLeft   = [Monitor1Right] - [Monitor1Width]  /10
  GridTop       = [Monitor1Top]
  GridRight     = [Monitor1Right]
  GridBottom    = [Monitor1Bottom]
  GridLeft      = [Monitor1Right] - [Monitor1Width]  /10


Regarding #3: do you want it to not touch the top and bottom of the screen? how much space do you want it to leave out? (1/4 of the screen on each side? or more?)

Now, regarding them all: why not have them all in one grid? :)

JGPaiva's GridMove and Ahk Tools / Re: GridMove: Grids Here
« Last post by jgpaiva on September 28, 2008, 04:36 AM »
I'm really sorry for not replying, satch.
Thanks for posting, armando ;)

Satch: the problem with your grid's 15th and 16th hotspots is simple: it's the variables. In TriggerRight, there's a variable named "monitor2witdth".
This causes GridMove to ignore the hotspots. Yeah, there should be some time of warning, but this is used to prevent the hotspots from being drawn when there isn't a second (or third, etc) monitor.

About Chrome.. I haven't been able to fix that problem because apparently that problem has been fixing itself!
I've tried to debug it, but both times I talked to the users having the problem, it just stopped happening without anyone doing anything!

General Software Discussion / Re: Dropbox - Offering paid plan now
« Last post by jgpaiva on September 26, 2008, 11:05 AM »
I think the confusion here is because jazper must own his account for some time, meaning he used dropbox when it was in test phase (or something like that) and thus, is allowed to have more storage.

New accounts only have access to 2GB on the free account.

« Last post by jgpaiva on September 25, 2008, 03:52 AM »
Hi!
Sorry for digging up this thread, but I wanted to ask you guys something:

Does your backup system allow you to save multiple backups to hdd, and access them on a snapshot basis? Like.. "how was my system 30 days ago?" Or do you have to check the incremental backup made at the time and if some file isn't there check the previous one and so on? Or does it tell you: "this file is on backup X, please insert CD"?

Thanks!

superboyac: Great work!
I like where this is heading, just read the article on SFFS and it moved me to check it out ;)
Only one suggestion: the list is quite long, and will get longer in time, I suppose; So try to group the programs somehow, or it'll be too hard to navigate.

@Paul Keith: I don't think that's the right way to treat a member of DC who is trying to do something for the community.
You sure can dislike the site, I just think you chose the wrong way to express it. Some constructive criticism would be better, as the way you expressed yourself is just offensive towards the author of the work, IMO.

MrCrispy: My "hatred" really has nothing to do with microsoft or with the ribbon itself, I really like them both.
My problem is this way of incorporating it in situations that really don't make sense (where there are way to few options for it to be useful).
