Hi guys... Kudos for a very worthwhile thread demonstrating the power of custom GEORGE scripts.

Here is a link that includes a discussion on "String Packing" techniques using ReadUserString and WriteUserString in George that might prove helpful.

Slowtiger: when I jump to YouTube to view the "SMASH" video, after it completes playing, the "making of video" link appears - clicking on that shows the 2nd video.

Mistakes in Manual: Beyond spelling mistakes, I suspect some HTML strangeness, in how the mistakes below (and mistakes actually in manual) are displayed??? Arithmetic operators and examples -negative: 18 -> -18 **exponent: 18**3=181818=5832 __________ should be 18*18*18 NOT 181818 multiplication: 18...

Something I've been wondering about for a long time: Is the exact X and Y position for a custom panel stored somewhere accessible? If so, can the X, Y values be accessed AND can they be edited/tweaked? Could this feature be added to the "This Panel" options? Anyone have a pet solution for ...

I'm uploading a demo that shows the possibilities, nothing more, in bare-bone scripts. Short Cut Keys Demo.png Hope this helps towa...

K: I wasn't sure how familiar you were with GEORGE (which is really simple once you get syntax down.) Give me a day or two to look at some of my old GEORGE scripts and I'll post some simple code that might help: With setting flag values in Config - and key-scripts that read flag values, then do diff...

Hello Xavier! Pleased to see your name again... Hope things are going well for you...

As for GEORGE? Yes, it continues to be handy and useful... each week I manage to create some new custom tool or Button/script essential to my work.

Where are "we" going? Personally, I find the current "sturm und drang " around Generative AI fascinating and terrifying. It is pretty much incomprehensible to the average civilian (non-programmer like me) but I believe we are obligated to listen and learn and attempt to understan...
