Seems interesting. Downloading and running to tomos link.

I think this is a type of app about scenarios. In he past I did scenarios menus with the help of Power Tray (Now I am beginning to use LaunchBar Commander) , yLaunch2 and others.
Even creating bat files.
It was an interesting effort to manage the pc environment with ease.

At the present time I have several methods and begin to feels very confortable....

Interesting article.

Thanks IainB.

"The black box is the 2.5 megabyte disk drive" . My first PC was an IBM AT with a enormous hard drive of 10 MB. Many people told me I will never use that space, enough for all my needs.

We have now bigger hard disks , but the situation is in The Stone Age still. In my opinion the best is coming !

General Software Discussion / Re: A Shortkey Win-5 (in the numpad) under w8.1
« Last post by Contro on September 02, 2017, 04:28 AM »
I have installed FARR and LaunchBarCommander.
Also Keypirinha.
And recover Power Tray from Lopesoft.
At first glance I don't see this program in the web because is not in development in English
I work hard in this program some years ago. It's not a good portable, but I install in portable mode and then restore the configuration file.
Keypirinha seems powerful and some aspects don't differ from FARR, but the configuration is less GUI, using an ini file to be edited directly by the user. Not all users may be in comfort with this...
On 30.09.2008 I wrote down in my CRM : Don't like LaunchBarCommander . Use a simple superior bar... . I don't remember what I mean by that, but at the present moment is a powerful launcher . I suppose an initial configuration that bothers me some years ago. Now "My First Dock" , after revising my comment, is also a powerful dock i can place on top of the screen.
I have four personalyzed menus with power tray that will require a couple of hours  - minimum - to adapt to any other launcher...

FARR have some learning curve, as LaunchBarCommander or Power Tray.

I am compelled to try ahk scripts now I have some concepts clear and some help to do it.

But FARR and LaunchBarCommander are installed and I take a slow look from time to time.

Best Regards

Goes well as a ahk file, but after compiling give me errors. I have decided to update ahk.
I don't see a clear method to inhabilitate a script in PE without deleting, so limited the script only running Virtualbox. Seems works fine and have no effects.

If i can't compile for any reason i wll charge the ahk in startup delayer or propose in the startup folder.

The main reason for this crisis may be solved, but I will experiment with FARR and LaunchBarCommander until total solution.

0. I am using FileBX from windows xp. But I haven't see the option for variables paths.
0. I have used Launchy in the past, but don't remember the option to launch a variable folder.
0. I have used FARR in the past and I must revise now : "Customize hotkey triggers to launch and perform specific searches, or copy selected text to the clipboard at launch .". Have one of the best forum.
0. I have used LaunchBarCommander in the past, but some reason (I am more used to PE - phrase express) i don't continue using. Have one of the best forum.
0. Listary. As long as i can remember is a paid option and I prefer now freeware
0. the folder Bookmarks function in xplorer². I think is paid option and I prefer now a freeware.

I think my past actions are conditioned for the system in that moment. Now i am used to run several virtual machines. With 32 GB RAM DDR4 I think I can address to more than one resident for this purpose.
I have the possibility to use AHK or a launcher similar to Phrase Express.
FARR and LaunchBarCommand are the first line to try.

I am trying also to find alternatives to phrase express. Even the possibility to migrate de scripts from one to another. And better is have a free option :


1. https://www.phraseexpander.com/order/, is not free, but have the possibility to migrate scripts from Phrase Express. But perhaps with my present RAM I don't need the option. Only substitute some disfunctional hotkeys...
2. Keypirinha A lightning fast and flexible keystroke launcher for Windows. No installation required (portable). Extensible with Python3 plugins.
3. Pulover’s Macro Creator Pulover’s Macro Creator is a Free Automation Tool and Script Generator. It is based on AutoHotkey language and provides users with... ( I have tried in the past, but for some reason I continue with PhraseExpress). I suppose by simplicity . Managing the RAM. Also has a forum sharing with ahk forum.
4. Executor , is also a hotkey manager. I don't know is manage variable paths.
5. Strokes Plus . I remember use StrokeIt in the past. As many times in the past i need to simplify. Too many hotkeys to memorize. Too many programs running....
6. synapse . I find this and sound interesting. For try something different from time to time. I don't understand this program and even think is for Linux... Vala Language
7. I have now a functional ahk script and perhaps i can disable the disfunctional script in phrase express until they solve the problem (BTW : they don't answer in the pe forum)
I Keep Trying

Living Room / Re: Who uses a 3d printer?
« Last post by Contro on September 01, 2017, 10:44 AM »
Here , in Tenerife, I have assisted to events with 3D printers.
Seems a tool for graphical designers and for special purposes.
And basically for makers. In Tenerife almost no industry. Only turism.

But any 3D printer needs a 3D sensor prior to capture the model.

I am searching for a couple of yerars for a tool able to measure locals (rooms) at a reasonable price.

The cheapest and with some possibilities seems to me structure.io from Occipital using an iPad.

The distance for scanning is up to 3.5 meters (in a couple of years from 3.00 to 3.50 meters). The expensive sensors from FARO or Leica I can't afford.

The 3D printers seems to theorical design. You can't do metal pieces or construction projects seriously.  These machines are limited - as a reasonable target - for not making weapons.

When 3D printer began to appear an association in Tenerife propose as an alternative to independence industry. But by normative, by security, all these targets are limited or forbidden.
It's similar to the solar energy.

Here in Tenerife we are in eternal spring, but the law limites the use of solar energy...

With or without security issues , the reality shows that promising fields are cercenated by other interests.

General Software Discussion / Re: Change to prefixed backgrounds at prefixed time
« Last post by Contro on September 01, 2017, 10:25 AM »
Life Journal Diary. There is a lot of software for that.....
I am using phisycal cards and revising often. If I fail I have to know why.....

Contro, can you explain how you are using cards?
Is it to keep a record of habits?
(Also curious how you revise them.)
I am using the cards in every way possible.

Even I have four cards i can write with a writeboard marker (so I can delete if I wish)
I have many color cards. The truth ? Is a question for every person. I am not using the colors.
Simply when I want revise things I go to another room with the cards and revise. Then may apply some GTD technique. And always as alternative.

A few weeks ago goldmine was constantly with emerging command windows.
I have derived these tasks mostly to ToDoList (a freeware).

In the above photo you see even a lot of colourful cards , brilliant cards, etc. Everyone has to find the best use. I am using now the minimum.

I have alternative methods and flexible enough.

The most important change is vary the tasks, not only in the pc.

"En casa del herrero cuchara de palo" . I suppose in the forum are most Technical PC people, so use different methods, or alternative methods, may be a good idea.

My weak points are :
1. Don't respect the time hour to go to sleep.
2. Force me to continue working without alternatives (sport, ocium, rest,....)
I am applying for this the program Instant Boss (I have other more sophisticated, but now for me is enough Instant Boss)
If I respect both points I write down a X in the calendar (Seinfeld Method)

3. Buy forbidden food. For me , in this point, the danger is in the night.
So I have place a yellow sheet to remember I can't buy, under any circunstances, the forbidden food into my house.

The points 2 and 1 have reinforced (rest and sport) , so I can afford the point 3.

4. I have observed in me the indiscipline and some dosis of obsession, compulsion and addiction.

( I suppose I am talking to my good people in this forum, able to understand and recognize that everybody is subject to humanity. So the important point is not the fact itself, but the quantity of the fact. )

I assure you that the most part of the members of this forum are above the medium in intelligence. So we are clever enough. Is not a problem of knowledge. It's a compromise between our responsability and DADO (RFSO) Rest, Food, Sport, Ocium.

 ;D

Jo, tremendous speech !!!!!!

If I fail in my targets I will analyze again the steps. One step must be followed by another, for each person, and slowly.

So I follow the new habits and try to make persistant in time.

Contro, can you explain how you are using cards?

I continue using.

A lot of things :

1. A physical calendar (Seinfeld method) to habits. Works well.

2. Habit training app for Android to remember habits. Works well.

3. Physical cards to often tasks

4. PC programs for tasks, projects (basically Goldmine and ToDoList

5. Software for simulators, analyzer, decide, risk, specially analyze my mood (aptitude, obsesions, food addiction, buying compulsions, etc.)

As long I suppose we are all of the same matter, and as complex as we are.

I will put photographs of the cards and the calendar.

 :-*

I am very happy with the sport, excersize, mountain sports.

Alternate method : pommodoro technique. I am applying in the hard way.

In food certain food are prohibited for life to enter home : alcohol, groceries, palatable food, desserts, etc.

But at this very moment I am going to enjoy a glass of white wine.

See you later.

Sigo haciendo algo mal. Tendré que revisar si estoy aplicando un compilador antiguo.

Voy a bajarme un compilador nuevo. No tiene mucho sentido que el ahk funcione bien (salvo el error windows del UAC desactivado) y que el exe de errores al compilarse.



I am still doing something wrong. I'll have to check if I'm applying an old compiler. It gives me a couple of errors when compiling.

I'm going to get a new compiler. Doesn't make much sense that the ahk works well (except for the disabled UAC windows error) and that the exe errors when compiling it.
Sorry wraith808 this answer don't go still in this forum.
When I have the full answer I will answer IainB.

Thanks IainB, I'll take a good look and comment.

I want to experiment a little now with autohotkey, and comment too....

Thanks a lot.

1. I am using the free from several years. 2007 or so. I have created a lot of phrases. Is not simple for me to change. Unleast I can migrate easily to other similar platform.
I am used - for one time - to the commands of phrase express. As you know my memory is not my strong point....
