N.A.N.Y. 2013 / Re: NANY 2013 Release: Customizable Remote Administration Panel (CRAP)

« Last post by hamradio on April 04, 2024, 12:42 PM »

If would like to try a public beta it can be got from the following link.

CRAP beta build

Notes:
I haven't got the drag and drop in for adding entries currently but the new favorites menu, skip command window, and adding the exe to the command prefix/application line if it is empty is in.
The title bar should/will only change color for dark themes in Win10+.
Ctrl+F will bring up the favorites menu currently if you want to use the keyboard.
If you don't want confirmation of deletion of a favorite press both shift+control before clicking one currently.

Sorry, I'm not quite sure what that means / what it looks like, and the search results I get seem to be more about the code to implement one…
I don't really mind the current text input fields by the way, so if it's too much work to just have their background color changed by the theme, please don't feel pressured to change that.

Would be nice if the text fields could have a dark background (and probably some lighter shade of gray text for a good contrast) too

Another thought on this...I could always test a toolstrip textbox with different colors for the variable entry and if it doesn't have the flickering issue I could convert to it for the variable entry as well if you think it wouldn't be too much hassle being a separate dropdown that is not attached the launch entry control for the history.

Should be fine I guess. I'd prefer the text contents (typically a hostname) to be visible before selecting the favourite, but I suppose I could always include it in the description myself.

The tooltip of each menu item would also show that data. Which is one thing that the combo box doesn't show currently for each item.

OK, it does seem better especially since the taskbar is dark too

So I have been thinking...I could probably move away from the combo box for selecting favorites as well which would take care of one of the white boxes on the main window. Would then need to write a edit favorite dialog perhaps with the list of favorites there or a shift + click / ctrl + click to do the edit/delete work which would be like I have in the layouts menu. I could also probably do a shortcut key that would call up the favorites menu then too. Plus allow for other ideas down the road like maybe even a "folder" system for them to where you could organize them. The dropdown would also take up less of the main window space and I would remove the ability to put the favorites bar on new line from the preferences...but might have a few drawbacks as well...therefore what are the thoughts on that ConstanceJill and oblivion?

What it could look like only with a few other tweaks to it obviously just a rough draft to show atm...

Hmm to elaborate on the topic of the command line window, what I've been experiencing does not seem to me like an issue with the option to keep it open or not after a command ended, but rather, it's pretty much like the normal behavior of batch files: they just don't go to the next line until the current command has completed, which in the case of most executable means, until their process has ended.

And so if you use cmd.exe to run a GUI mode program such as the RDP client, Notepad, Firefox… then that CMD window just stays there until you close that GUI program — or manually close the cmd window itself.
The solution to that issue would be, IMHO, to have CRAP run the command which the button is set for "directly", instead of calling cmd.

-ConstanceJill (April 02, 2024, 12:17 PM)

I would tend to agree but for whatever reason on my windows 10 7+ year old computer (with original parts) before I upgraded on my terms would as far as I can remember appeared to close after launching executables with the right command line option. The new computer however it won’t. Should be fixed now tho hopefully with what you said for the solution as that is what the next version will do with the skip option just it will need the arguments moved down to work. I do change the label caption of the text boxes to account for that depending on if skip is selected or not to tell that.

General Software Discussion / Re: Synchronization software with tree view, moved files detection and size ignore

in case this puts anyone off the idea of Syncovery - the list can be easily filtered, including to just show changed files.

-tomos (March 20, 2024, 04:00 AM)

Correct. The problem was that all of my folders had different modification dates on both sides. For this reason, Syncovery would show every single one of my 15,000 folders even in the sync preview mode that is supposed to only "show affected" items. After changing one of the about 35,372 option settings of Syncovery (unfortunately, I don't remember which setting that was), I managed to solve this issue.
