Compelled to DonateHI really like what you guys are doing. I know it is tough to be open, fair, and NOT get taken advantage of. As a user I fell more compelled to give when I am allowed to donate what it is worth to me.

What are Coding Snacks?
Coding snacks are small custom utilities written by coders who hang out on DonationCoder in response to requests posted on our forum.
Coding Snack: Allow input commands to be sent to background windows. WriteThere!
It redirects all keyboard input to one window. Click inside the target window and press F1 to redirect the input to it. Press F1 twice fast to disable WriteThere. Example: Open Internet Explorer and Notepad, and place them side by side. Click inside Notepad and press F1 to redirect the keyboard. Now you can navigate your browser using the mouse, but everyting your write will end up in Notepad! This is a beta if ever there was one! There's probably a lot of keys missing, it doesn't work with all programs, it disables global hotkeys, and so on. -Skrommel |

IDEA: Replace Hourglass with Quote from text file? A DC forum member asks: "Occasionally when I load a large program or a huge data file from a file server the omnipresent hourglass appears and spins away and away ..... IDEA: A program that displays as a tooltip or message box a line from a text file instead. A text file containing a quote, joke, reminder, any little tidbit of information. It shouldn't slowdown the loading but just replace the hourglass only when it is on the screen, with the ability to click on it to freeze the display."

Want to print artist/album list of ogg/mp3 files A DC forum member asks: "One of the ways in which I'm a dinosaur is that I listen almost exclusively to entire albums, not individual songs, and I play ogg/mp3 files almost exclusively on my beloved Rio Karma, not on the PC. Which, if any, of the mp3/ogg player/cataloging programs would enable me to print a list by artist/album without printing song titles?"
