Umlauts? Not at UPC/Chello WebMail client …

Additional dictionary for Lotus Notes Mail

Some time ago I asked the question how to install an additional dictionary to LN (e.g. Lotus Notes Mail):

Before LN 8.5.1 it was easy:
File | Preferences > Spell Check >Install Dictionary

Since version 8.5.1 it isn't very easily … I also found a guide in IBM website but that guide is inaccurate and not worked for me. Using LN 8.5.2 at the moment.

Since I’d like to use two dictionaries (English and German) I have to use the “new dictionary format” …

Until today I got no answer. Maybe my question is too difficult or so stupid that no one is answering it!?

Yesterday I installed Symphony 3 and was more than surprised that the spell checker works for German and English text. So, Lotus Notes and Symphony are using different mechanism/dictionaries/… for spell checking!? D’oh!

But my question remains: How can I install additional dictionaries for LN 8.5.2? English spell checker works fine for writing e-mails in LN Mail but sometimes I also writing e-mails in German and I am used to have the comfort of a spell checker for English+German from applications like Microsoft Outlook, Microsoft Live Mail, Microsoft Word, Microsoft Live Writer (BTW, used Live Write for writing this blog entry) etc. ...

Some weeks ago I started developing a new tiny application which is able to synchronize custom dictionaries: UserDictSync

Of course I’d like to add support for Lotus Notes 8.5.x and maybe Symphony 3 …

At the moment it will be more interesting for developers since the following applications are supported by UserDictSync at the moment:

• Firefox (Mozilla)
• TortoiseSVN (The TortoiseSVN team)
• VisualAssist (Whole Tomato Software)
• Windows Live Writer (Microsoft)

Just give it a try.
Suggestions are welcome!

McAfee SiteAdvisor destroys Google Notebook items

Today I recognized that McAfee SiteAdvisor is starting to destroy Google Notebook items when they contain (valid) links:

The space below the text is not removable and after some attempts Firefox says that I should stop a not responding script and after that Google Notebook says it is not possible to save the note. Also the “changes” made by SiteAdvisor cannot be made undone.

D’oh!

foreach for C++ (II)

In order to bring the foreach comfort from C# to C++ I found the following way to do so:

1. Using boost library (a must have library for C++ developers)
2. Go to make BOOST_FOREACH prettier
3. Add usertype.dat into same directory where devenv.exe resists
4. Add the words foreach and reverse_foreach to usertype.dat
5. Restart Visual Studio

(since no “Code Snippet”-plug-in works I added a screen-shot)

Test for “Paste from VS” plug-in

Pasted from ScribblePapers:

void BoostTests()
{
    DbgLog(__FUNCTIONW__);

    boost::array<int, 3> myIntArray;
    myIntArray[0] = 2;
    myIntArray[1] = 8;
    myIntArray[2] = 1976;

    int result = 0;

    foreach (int number, myIntArray)
    {
        result += number;
    }
}

Pasted from VS2008:

(including VisualAssist X with enhanced syntax coloring ….)

void BoostTests()

{


    DbgLog(__FUNCTIONW__);

    //LOG::VATest vatest;

    //vatest.TestVAFindAcrossProjects();

    boost::array<int, 3> myIntArray;

    myIntArray[0] = 2;


    myIntArray[1] = 8;


    myIntArray[2] = 1976;

    int result = 0;

    foreach (int number, myIntArray)

    {


        result += number;


    }


}

Test for Insert Code plug-in

   1: void BoostTests()

   2: {

   3:     DbgLog(__FUNCTIONW__);

   4:  

   5:     boost::array<int, 3> myIntArray;

   6:     myIntArray[0] = 2;

   7:     myIntArray[1] = 8;

   8:     myIntArray[2] = 1976;

   9:  

  10:     int result = 0;

  11:  

  12:     foreach (int number, myIntArray)

  13:     {

  14:         result += number;

  15:     }

  16: }

D’oh! The Code Snippet-Plug-In fails.

It should look like this:

But:

   1:  void BoostTests()

   2:  {

   3:      DbgLog(__FUNCTIONW__);

   4:   

   5:      boost::array<int, 3> myIntArray;

   6:      myIntArray[0] = 2;

   7:      myIntArray[1] = 8;

   8:      myIntArray[2] = 1976;

   9:   

  10:      int result = 0;

  11:   

  12:      foreach (int number, myIntArray)

  13:      {

  14:          result += number;

  15:      }

  16:  }
