I know this idea is floating around on the boards but I haven't been able to get it working properly.

Basically, I have 2 text windows open - one I want to type into all the time, and one I want to type in for short periods of time.
EG: Dreamweaver and an IM chat.

I want to be able to have the main window (dreamweaver) under focus by default, but I want to be able to click in the chatbox (or any other) and for as long as I am typing there it keeps focus. After an extended period of non-activity (eg, no more typing, say, 5~8 seconds) I want to switch back to the main window (returning to work)

After learning and working with AutoHotkey since February, I'm finally releasing my first script.

CHKDSK Assist is a GUI based script that allows you to schedule CHKDSK operations on your PC.

I welcome any questions or comments about it. Thanks!

Had a nice Idea, while cleaning my Desktop from old files/Downloads etc.

A floating Icon for droping Files/Folders, which opens a menu with configured Move/Copy(while holding Ctrl+drop) Paths.
- with Window Levels: Normal, OnTop, Desktop
- lock/unlock position of icon
- png skin support/Transparency Slider/Icon Size Slider

Would make move/copy actions much more easier.

Hello,

My robotics team runs a tournament every year for younger kids.  An idea of mine for this year's tournament is to have a continually running slideshow of pictures on one of the projectors.  It would be great if I could have a computer set up with a media reader where people (coaches, spectators, etc) could insert a card and download their pictures to the computer to be immediately added to the slideshow.  So, here's my idea:

a kiosk-like program that allows a user to download all or some photos from a memory card (I've got one of those read-all-card-types readers that maps to four drives) to a folder that I specify in a config file (probably on a networked computer e.g. \\mycomp\slideshow\) in a datetime-stamped folder (to avoid name conflicts) with a minimum of user effort.  Kind of like one of those photo kiosks that can be found at Walgreens, etc, but much simpler.  Just a spash screen, a photo-select screen for once the user has inserted a memory card, a copying screen, and a done screen.  Or something.

I am a programmer, and if nobody is interested I will code this myself, so don't spend a lot of time on it.  But, the members of this forum are much more talented than I am and so I'm sure you could whip something up easier than I could.

Thanks, Nick

I would like to have a small program that will allow a user to stretch a given region of the screen (a window and/or control) to fill the entire screen and then "unstretch" it back to its original size and position.

DC member Eric Wong (VideoInPicture) has been on fire lately creating all sorts of cool new utilities.  This one is bound to be useful to some people, especially with its high degree of customizability..

September 4th, 2008

• Version 2.0 of Easy Unicode Paster is released.
  
• The structure of the program has been changed. The Config.ini file is now separate from the character sets used.
  
• Includes over 100 different character sets.
  
• Access all the character sets from within Easy Unicode Paster.
  
• Utilizes a table of "buttons" for better performance and a cleaner look.
  
• Program will automatically change the layout of the table according to how much space is available. It makes it so that you only have to scroll vertically when there is not enough room to display all the items.
  
• Has support for pasting multiple characters with one button. See the "Example Character Set.ini" file in the "Character Sets" folder for details.
  
• The items on the toolbar and the context menu have been tweaked. Gone is the option to make EUP not topmost because this was not a very useful option in practice.

With this release, I firmly believe that Easy Unicode Paster is one of the best and easiest to use unicode character maps out there and can compete with products that charge for something similar. All the other character maps I have tried have failed in their ease of use or how the program operates. Easy Unicode Paster pastes unicode characters in whatever document you are working with using just 1 click for one character.
