Hi Bruce,
This tin roof you're putting up: I hope there will be at least one cat
arround who will enjoy it when it gets hot. Get it? (smile)
Aren't you gettting any help with this building project, or do you
prefer the independence of DYI, just as you do when you program? (smile)
Regarding your clipboard app, it sounds feature-packed just as it is,
and so I can't think of anything to add. I was wondering, though,
whether the feature of being able to join text files came out of your
working with multiple text files of code which you later wanted to
combine. Is this where it came from, or was it something else?
I'm about to release another app, called RodWinamp, which allows
navigation within a track, all over a playlist, and between multiple
Winamp classes. I'm just running it through its paces now, fine-tuning
it, and hoping for the best. I wrote the guts of it months ago, but it
took me all this time to make it usable for anyone who wanted to install
it. Working with multiple classes, or copies, of Winamp is a bit
tricky. When I prepared my RodClock, I found it was simpler to create
RodWinampClassCreator, which creates separate Winamp classes. Now that
this task is compartmentalized into a separate app, the next logical
step is to release another app, RodWinamp, which allows various ways of
navigating Winamp. It's pretty cool, and you'll have to check it out
when it's ready.
Anyway, Bruce, it's wonderful to see you so engaged, and in such diverse
tasks. I am, too, keeping my wife and home happy, as well as coding.
too. I believe the diversity makes us better coders, too. (smile)
Swing lo, sweet chariot, comin' for to carry me home. (smile)
All the best, my friend,
Rod (smile)

[email protected] Hi Everyone, I have not forgotten you but doing
a tin roof I am half way there on completing a 22X26 roof over my upper
deck that over-looks a falls. I have been working on the Clipboard app
during the hot times of the day and the features will be: 1) The ability
to fetch a list of selected files and store them directly to the
Clipboard text area using a standard Explorer search. 2) The ability to
edit the list using a List View by moving a name up or down the list one
at a time or reverse the order of entire list the file names all done by
pressing a hotkey of your choice, including using the spacebar shifted
or unshifted. 3) Append another list of selected files to the existing
file list on the Clipboard. So you can make a list as long as you want,
including deleting some if you so desire. 4) Extract the text of the
selected files and the text stored on the Clipboard in the order of the
file names. The filenames are not lost since there also stored as an
array list until you power down or turn off the app, then there lost;
unless I store them on the .ini file, which I may do. 5) You can also
edit the text one line at a time by moving them or just editing them and
could come in handy if you want to edit an app of your own. At least
with the List View you have a built in line numbering based on the list
view position. NOTE: All this is for Windows machines for I can not do
it yet for other computers; even though the external executable can add
and append text of any computer and only text, not file names yet. using
the command line options to do it, which the file feature calls when
executing. 6) The ability to save the files names using the Clipboard
paste feature since there on the Clipboard or save them directly to a
file by making a file of your choosing. these features are all Clipboard
features and all file names and text are residing in the Clipboard text
area. If anyone wishes other features for it let me know before I post
the 1.0 version, which I have not yet since I am working on a roof at
the moment. Sincerely Bruce
