Re: how to debug problems with remote control?

duh...that was more difficult than expected - because I had the right idea too late :oops:

My XY ran elevated - but the sending process wasn't elevated - so it couldn't talk to XY.....

how to debug problems with remote control?

I'm currently experimenting calling XY's via "Remote Control" from LibreAutomate to do clever things (like goto "xyz"). The calling program writes the command that it intends to send to the clipboard before sending - and these commands have always worked when I tried to execute t...

VF "prop:dimensions: 16 x16" not working

I have a folder with 16x16 icons:

Setting VF "prop:dimensions: 16 x16" hides them all, even though the previous screenshot confirms they have the desired dimension.

Re: LibreAutomate - windows macros in C#

It might be easier for those that know C# already (or hesitate to get into AHK / AutoIT). I can't comment on benefits over AHK because I gave up AHK before I had a chance to gain "real experience"... One migrant referred to AHK's "awful" syntax as the reason for switching. also h...

LibreAutomate - windows macros in C#

I tried many macro solutions (including AHK), but never was satisfied. Until I found QuickMacros whose author then started a new project " LibreAutomate " that I'be been using even with version <1.😉 I am still dabbling in C# but fortunately the author is super-responsive (almost feels like...

Re: dealing with unicode

1+3. I totally agree and I like the "t" idea!

2.sry, that was useless. I had the idea readfile could always work in "sensible" mode - except when dealing with binary files. But they are as hard to enumerate. I think 1+3 will solve this for good.

Re: dealing with unicode

Btw, the setting of Configuration | Preview | Preview | Text preview | UTF-8 auto-detection does not affect SC readfile. I guess you wanted to say "does affect" ;) Actually...the world has changed for me - even random extensions can have unicode content. But, OTOH the list of binary files...

dealing with unicode

I have a small text file that has no BOM. When I look at it with F11 (or in the F12 preview) all is well. But trying to ::copytext readfile(<curitem>) looses the UTF-8 somewhere. Also ::msg readfile(<curitem>) shows the data incorrectly. What's even more confusing - also with mode "ru " it...

Cancel a background job

I kicked off what I thought was a minor copy job yesterday afternoon, left the machine running and noticed it was still going this morning: (Somewhere a wheel went off in the VPN, I assume - it shouldn't have taken that long) 14-02-2024_08-24-07.png Wouldn't it be nice if there was a "Cancel&qu...
