Haven't used it much, obviously (would have mentioned it right after the forum-upgrade if I did), but it could come in handy at times.

Screenshot Captor / Re: feature request for auto-screenshot

Two year old drivers? I assume you have installed Windows updates since then, so IMHO, there's a big chance something broke, and an updated driver is the least you should try

I'd expect that to be a videodriver issue. Updating to the latest version, best would be a WHQL approved release, may solve it.

Cons: no internet access -- can't alert you over email when tripped.

When looking for specialty stickers, did you check your local copy/print-shop? They usually have a high-res color laser printer and sticker backings that would do just fine, for an acceptable price.

Most likely your AV [anti virus] is interfering or your internet connection is not stable, resulting in a damaged download. YYou can retry downloading, and optionally turning your AV temporarily off for the directory you're storing the file. After downloading re-enable the AV!

With the Yahoo updates and current sWeather release (1.6.3b1) even the 10 day forecast is working fine now from my work-location.

The old API seems to have died completely for my work-location, not even the current weather is shown.

OK, so I'm trapped
This year I did receive the mug (it was sent from Prague (Praha), according to the shipping slip) and I'm quite happy it actually arrived



I included just a part of my head, that should be enough to scare off anyone

-Asudem (April 02, 2016, 11:17 AM)

Googling for the VS Community edition license terms found me this: https://www.visualst.../en-us/dn877550.aspx
In chapter 1 the use rights are clearly written down, you'll just have to apply that to your exact situation, to determine if you can use that edition.

I've been using Spamihilator with good results for many years, on several PC's. It does however trigger some false positives over time, even with the default settings so some maintenance is required/desired, and I've used it mostly on multiple accounts for 1 person, not several persons with multiple accounts. It acts as a proxy for your mail-client.

Developer's Corner / Re: How to use 8bf files in my own application

« Last post by Ath on March 27, 2016, 01:14 PM »

It is an image viewer that I wrote in pure C language.
I would like to be able to include 8bf files.
How could I do it?

-Mathenay (March 27, 2016, 05:15 AM)

...

Yes, I am new
I have downloaded these plugins as an example.

-Mathenay (March 27, 2016, 09:26 AM)

I must have misunderstood your request
8BF is not a graphics file format, just a plugin format for Photoshop. I was originally under the impression you'd like to add that file-type to your forum-post, but it can also be read as if you want to add support for displaying these files to your application, so that's not going to work.
For adding the feature of using such plugins to your application I can only point you to the Adobe developer community, they know how to guide you in that direction.

Put them in a .zip file, accompanied by the documentation, and you'll be fine.
