Computer Questions Not Worth Their Own Thread II

Cant you just sort the folder by file type and find all file types that are not images? It would be pretty simple of a task to do it manually in this case.

Subfolders? Unless theres a way to view it without a folder structure.

How do you make those vertical separators/lines? |l1Ii
Lol, definitely not an L or i or 1.

Mine is right below the backspace key. Its a slash \ and this thing |

 

[PeteAtoms]

It's next to the Z key on my (UK) keyboard. |

There's something that looks quite similar on alt Gr-(left of the 1 key) ¦

OHHHH!
I looked at my key with "¦" that symbol, and it made the "|" !
So than how do I make a ¦? The key that looks like it should make a '¦' makes the '|' ?

note: I made the "¦" by copy/pasting yours

Mine is right below the backspace key. Its a slash \ and this thing |

Yeah, except mine is a '¦' but it makes a |...

 

[ParadigmShifter]

If you have a C compiler you can tell

| is the bitwise-or operator (and || is the logical-or operator), so one of these will compile and the other won't...

int main(void)
{
   return 0|1;
}

int main(void)
{
   return 0¦1;
}

I got the grep to work Thanks.

Question: Im trying to splice this together:

I took five screenshits:

Spoiler :

However Microsoft ICE keeps lopping off Mike and half of Benmont:

Spoiler :

I tried the different options in the program, all of them looked the same (except that Rotate chopped off part of Tom's head). My hand is not steady enough to do it manuelly. Any suggestions?

Windows 7 Paint is really freaky!

I saved a file as a .PNG and went to imageshack... it wasn't in the Pictures folder where I saved it.

On a hunch I checked file types and switched it to all movie files (yes, PNG was in the image files, but the pic wasn't there) and I found the image I wanted. Upon uploading it, I found out it was a .dib

WHY did this happen and HOW can I stop it from happening again?

Is imageshack just #$%!ing with me?

 

[aimeeandbeatles]

Use Paint.NET. Windows Paint isnt really that good IMHO.

Irfanview, Paint.NET or GIMP, in ascending order of image modification capability.
Those 3 are infinitely better than Windows Paint.

Also, imageshack is meh for hosting these days. Imgur all the way.

My sister accidentally deleted the contents of an SD card, what is the best way to recover it?

Recuva I found works. If you dont overwrite.

 

[Turner]

Just about any undelete program should help.

That's not irony.

That's not irony.

People who constantly point out that other people are misusing "irony" are particularly annoying to people who actually understand irony.

 

[Genocidicbunny]

That's not irony.

Fascist forums are over this way

I didnt even notice the typo ... oops.

I started using Paint.NET because Windows Paint would screw up my JPEG images and make them all blotchy. Anybody else notice that? I use IrfanView for some basic stuff (my main purpose is to crop the bad parts out of corrupted images) and GIMP is a bit too advanced for most of the stuff I do.

 

[ParadigmShifter]

JPEG is lossy compression so it's gonna make things more blotchy.

I think you might be able to control the compression rate, if not paintshop does it.

 

[Genocidicbunny]

Any half-decent program will be able to control the compression, but bear in mind, this is not perfect. Try taking an image and resaving it as JPEG 1000 times. You will end up with something quite ugly.

 

[candle86]

thats why you should convert it from jpeg to another format and only work with the modified format to save from, because even bitmap is better for working and reworking than jpeg lol.

 

[aimeeandbeatles]

I thought bitmap was lossless and PNGs got better compression (least from my experience).
