What are Coding Snacks?
Coding Snacks represent the best of DonationCoder.
On a special section of our forum, anyone can post an idea for a small custom utility/program.
Coders who hang out on our forum keep an eye out for interesting requests and when they see one that catches their interest, they code it and release it to the public for free.
People who find the tools useful are encouraged to donate directly to the coders to show their appreciation.

Check out the new free software and fun stuff released as part of our NANY (New Apps for the New Year) 2018 event on January 1, 2018: here.
Since 2007 we have held an annual event that we call NANY (New Apps for the New Year), where we ask the coders who hang out on DonationCoder to create some new piece of free software and share it with the world on January 1st of the new year. NANY is really the funnest thing we do on this site, and it's one of the few times we can all play together. There are no winners or losers, it's simply a celebration of programming and creating new software and sharing it with the world.

Selector 1.2Selector 1.0 is ready for general use I think. The idea is a hotkey app in the Tray that holds a few of your favorite programs that can take the command line param from selected text or the clipboard. One example would be a browser. Instead of relying on a plugin to open the current page in another browser hit the address bar to select text and hit the Selector hotkey(Shift-NumPadDiv by default.) Choose your browser and hit the Go button. Currently adding programs to the list requires using a FileOpen dialog to browse to the .exe file. A short name is automatically generated but can be edited. At the moment there's no provision for sorting the list or rearranging the order of apps. A later version should have a few more bells and whistles. The program uses Glass if enabled on the system. It requires Scripting.Dictionary object on the PC. If you don't have Scripting.Dictionary I believe installing the .NET 2.0 or later run-time will put it on but check the MS web site for the correct download. If you have .NET 2.0 or later you should have it already. Edit: link: http://www.favessoft.com/hotkeys.html updated to v. 1.01 Double clicking an item in ListBox presses the Go Button to launch the item. Items added to the ListBox are sorted(case insensitive sorting.) |
