about QM3 Some suggestions

[Davider]

1. 
Member list items cannot be scrolled up or down using the mouse wheel[Pink arrows],  
There is  a border under the win7 system, set to no border, the effect is better[Red arrows]


2.
Cookbook article list, Unable to scroll up and down using the mouse wheel [pink arrow]
Also, it would be more convenient if I could drag and drop the articles I'd collected directly into the list, It's better to be able to change the name, to be able to edit
After the article content is copied into Word, no syntax coloring is preserved [red box] , I need this feature so much that I want to print it

---

3.
In the menu where Ctrl+shift+Q is pressed, there is no option to capture images
This option is available in the QM2 shortcut menu[red box]
Many controls cannot be captured, images are used frequently, and it is recommended to add this option as well
After clicking on this menu item, I can directly take a screenshot of the picture, and after confirming, the settings dialog[Find image or color in window] will pop up

[Gintaras]

Windows 10+ scrolls the mouse control. Windows 7 scrolls the focused control.
Next QM3 will scroll the mouse control always.
See also: https://superuser.com/questions/368688/o...-the-mouse

2. Probably in the future entire cookbook will be duplicated in the website as HTML. Then can print, create bookmarks, use google etc to search...

3. Probably it will be a hotkey, like now for the wnd and elm tools.

[Davider]

Thank you for the explanation

1.I don't understand what it means, meaning that under Win7, there is no way to achieve mouse scrolling?  A bit inconvenient 

2.The content of the cookbook is very good, if there is a script built into QM3, I can use it generate PDF files with syntax coloring, which is great

[Gintaras]

" the mouse control " means scrolls correctly.

> if there is a script built into QM3
Currently no.

I found a piece of code: url2pdf

Download:
https://wkhtmltopdf.org/downloads.html

C# code:

Copy

public void wkhtmltopdf(string filePath, string fileName, string url)
        {
            Process p = new Process();
            //wkhtmltopdf The path where the plug-in is installed
            string dllstr = AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BaseDirectory + "wkhtmltopdf\\wkhtmltopdf.exe";
            //string dllstr = "C:\\Windows\\System32\\wkhtmltopdf.exe";
            if (System.IO.File.Exists(dllstr))
            {
                string savepath = Path.Combine(filePath, fileName);
                p.StartInfo.FileName = dllstr;

                StringBuilder paramsBuilder = new StringBuilder();
                paramsBuilder.Append("--page-width " + txt_width.Text + "mm ");
                paramsBuilder.Append("--zoom 1.2 ");
                paramsBuilder.Append("--disable-smart-shrinking ");
                paramsBuilder.Append("--page-height " + txt_height.Text + "mm ");
                paramsBuilder.Append("--margin-bottom 0mm ");
                paramsBuilder.Append("--margin-left 0mm ");
                paramsBuilder.Append("--margin-right 0mm ");
                paramsBuilder.Append("--margin-top 0mm ");
                paramsBuilder.AppendFormat("\"{0}\" \"{1}\"", url, savepath);
                p.StartInfo.Arguments = paramsBuilder.ToString();
                //p.StartInfo.Arguments = " \"" + url + "\"  \"" + savepath + "\"";

                p.StartInfo.UseShellExecute = false;
                p.StartInfo.RedirectStandardInput = true;
                p.StartInfo.RedirectStandardOutput = true;
                p.StartInfo.RedirectStandardError = true;
                p.StartInfo.CreateNoWindow = true;

                p.Start();
                p.WaitForExit();
            }
        }

But recipes are not in HTML. It is text with QM3 output tags. The source code is here. I'll create a converter to HTML some day.

I just found out that copying code from the QM3 editor into Word, there is no syntax coloring information,
In QM2, the copy option preserves syntax coloring

[Gintaras]

QM2 can copy code as HTML. QM3 probably will have this feature in the future, but not soon.

Great! 

How to prevent code regions from being translated by Google? 
It is highly recommended to add this feature

https://www.libreautomate.com/cookbook/C...ction.html

The web page in the link below, after using Google Chrome translation, the code part is not translated, the effect is great
Many programming forum pages support this effect

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/powers...rshell-7.2

[Gintaras]

Updated. Now does not translate code.

But non-code text contains many class/function/parameter/etc names, and they are translated. To prevent it would need several days of tedious work.

[Davider]

Works great, thank you very much

Can you generate a PDF of Cookbook like the post below?  The article inside is too classic, It would be convenient to read PDF on phone

How to accelerate the startup speed of LA?

Linqpad can accelerate startup speed through the following methods
 

You can improve startup performance by generating native images for the Roslyn assemblies.
To do this, open the administrator command prompt, and call:

    LINQPad.exe -ngen 

This generates local native images that will be used by both LPRun.exe and LINQPad.exe.
It does not install anything to the GAC.

[Gintaras]

Cannot accelerate. Cannot ngen. With a faster computer these 2 seconds isn't a problem.

[Davider]

Some suggestions:

1. Ctrl+Delete directly deletes the script without confirmation (same as QM) 
2. Drag the script icon(or name) to the desktop to copy the script file to the desktop 
3. Double click on the script file name to rename it (same as QM)
4. customize nuget package source

5.Click on the script folder or cookie book folder name to expand

[Davider]

6. Set the output font and current line background color (same as qm)

[Davider]

7. The edit box can support dragging and dropping files

[Davider]

8. Can you add a menu item "Restart" on the context menu of the LA tray icon?
I often encounter a situation where the generated DLL is not loaded even if I press the compile button (apparently an old version of the DLL is loaded).
But after restarting LA, everything is normal.
in QM, I also customized a hotkey and used the code "shutdown -2" to restart QM.

---

9. Now LA has become more and more customizable, almost all controls can be customized, which is very powerful. Can you add two preset buttons "Classic" (previous style) and "Collapse" (current style) to the custom menu? I Manually defining it to the original classic style might be a bit difficult.

---

10. Can you add a right-click menu for the cookbook editor as shown in the following image? Sometimes I want to copy the code to Word and print it, and I need syntax highlighting.

[Gintaras]

8. Just compiling of course will not load the dll. Need to run the script, not to restart LA. See also Properties -> ifRunning.

I often encounter a situation where the generated DLL is not loaded even if I press the compile button (apparently an old version of the DLL is loaded).

If only restarting LA helps, please give code and steps to reproduce it.

9. Will add Cut/Copy/Paste if never customized, but users can remove them.

10. Will add context menu with items "Copy" and "Open in web browser". You can copy HTML from web browser.

5. Maybe.

6. Probably.

3, 7. Unlikely.

1, 2. Maybe, but not soon.

4 (nuget). Maybe, but not soon. Currently you can append --source (more info in the tooltip), but it does not support password etc.

[Davider]

11. There is a slight issue with the display of CJK characters in the floating prompt, possibly due to the inappropriate font used. Modifying the font should solve this problem(Suggestion: In the option setting, add an option that can set the font in the output bar and Tooltip)

[Gintaras]

What issue it is?
Please post text that can be copied, so I can test with various fonts.

[Davider]

The meaning is that the shape inside the characters is not standardized, and the following is the normal font display in QM

Compiles and executes C# code at run time 在运行时编译和执行C#代码

Font Name:  Microsoft YaHei Mono

If only restarting LA helps, please give code and steps to reproduce it.

The problem occurs randomly, mostly due to trigger failure. It may also be because I am not familiar with LA, and there are also cases of trigger failure in QM. Just restart QM

[Davider]

I don't know why, sometimes the Au process takes up a lot of memory. In the screenshot below, only an empty script and an HTTP server script were opened, which took up 180M of memory. At this time, I have to restart LA.

[Gintaras]

It is normal when using WPF and Roslyn (LA uses them).

[Gintaras]

The tooltip and similar popup windows use font Calibri 11. It is default font in Microsoft Word. I tried various fonts, and Calibri was the best there. Such windows should be able to contain as much text as possible in a small area. The default UI font isn't good for it.

Is it displayed somehow incorrectly and is difficult to read CJK characters? Or just you noticed that the font is different than in other parts of UI?

difficult to read CJK characters, The shapes and sizes are different and a bit strange, 

Font Name:  Microsoft YaHei Mono The font with the best display effect for Chinese system 
In the QM code editor and the output panel, the font on is displayed very well.

about #4 Nuget 
To use the NuGet function, it is required to install an SDK of almost 200 MB, which is a bit large.
The open-source software mentioned in the following post also has similar NuGet-type features. It seems that there is no need to install an SDK.
https://www.libreautomate.com/forum/show...9#pid36689

---

This software also supports fuzzy keyword matching search. It is very useful when I want to search and test the required function library. Can LA add similar functionality?

[Gintaras]

When implementing nuget in LA, I tried to find a way to install nuget packages without SDK, but there are no libraries for it, and would need too much work to implement it correctly.

On my computer Roslynpad does not work without .NET SDK.

try ver 14.1

Source Code: https://github.com/roslynpad/roslynpad/a...s/14.1.zip

I confirm that the software works on win7+win10 without .NET SDK, it's very cool, I can choose the historical versions of library files and pre-release versions.

[Davider]

It would be great if it could be added to the toolbar like this.
