Today I released Beta Version 0.4 of my new tool called WinPicker.

Windows Implementation of the Exposé from MacOSX.

Currently you are able to minimize/revert windows (rightclick), pick windows (leftclick), close windows (shift+rightklick), pick and minimize all other windows (shift+leftclick) and zoom in/out of windows (mousewheel).

Today I released the first version of DJson. DracoBlue's DJson is a dynamic file based reader/writer for the pawn language.

[em]Why Djson as name?[/em] Because the saved files are encrypted with JSON (JavaScriptObjectNotation), which is a very light weight encoding for data structures and originally used to describe javascript objects.

Check out the official djson-page!

You can easily apply a new "Root"-file for a recursive checked out repository structure with the following line (assuming, that you don't have any files called "CVS/Root" except the CVS/Root).

 find . | grep "CVS/Root" | while read LINE; do echo "$LINE:";cp /home/dracoblue/Root $LINE; done

In this example /home/dracoblue/Root holds the updated Root-File and the command line is executed in the directory which you want to change recursively.

Today I noticed once again, that texmaker only supports the following command to launch the newly generated .pdf file.

"C:/Program Files/Adobe/Reader 8.0/Reader/AcroRd32.exe" %.pdf

Actually AcrobatReader does not like that, since he won't find the .pdf file, since it is not a absolute path.

To fix that problem I wrote a small .bat-file called runincurrent_dir.bat and put that in my home directory. Contents:

%1 %CD%\%2

Now I put in the line for automatic pdf display the following:

c:\users\jan\run_in_current_dir.bat "C:/Program Files/Adobe/Reader 8.0/Reader/AcroRd32.exe" %.pdf

Hope that helps anyone else expiriencing problems with relative filenames and acrobat reader.

If you try to use preg_match on strings, which do have multiple lines you run into the problems that they actually won't match at all.

This can be easily fixed by adding s-modifier, so:

/\[(code)\](.*?)\[\/code\]/

becomes to

/\[(code)\](.*?)\[\/code\]/s

and works like a charm!
