|
|
This is a self contained note file with encryption made completely in VDS 6. Thanks to Aslan's help, I was able to make it a single EXE file that is only 344kb. You can rename the EXE to anything and it will still (or should) work fine. Please let me know what you think.
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/137938/web/downloads/Self%20Note.zip
Version 1.4.x.x
New in this version: AES 256bit encryption with password. Follow URLs by double clicking. Search for text using Google.
Version 1.2.x.x
Self Note now auto encrypts the file with a PIN number. If it is run for the first time, you get the info text. If it is changed, it asks for a PIN and encrypts the text before it saves. Next time you run it, it asks for the PIN again. if the pin is incorrect the file will not open. Do not forget the PIN, it cannot be retrieved. Use same link as above for the new version. _________________ Chris Gingerich

Version 1.4.0.11: Runtime error 25 at line 222.
The error occurs upon first save operation - then OK.

Thank you uvedese.
@Dr. Dread, how long is the password you are using? The error is in the encryption code. Not sure why you are getting that error.
Does anyone else get that same error? 25 @ line 222?

Hi there!
The pass key was 4 chars long...
... and the error only occured on the first save.

Very Nice. I wrote a Program to do something similar that uses 3DES but never thought about including it in the EXE.. Very cool. I like it.
After playing around with yourself note. One thing that kind of bugs me is the dbl click feature.. could you make it so that you have to hold down the shift key + click or ctrl key + click or something like that.
I keep opening up IE when I'm not wanting to because I'm kind of a crazy clicker.
My only grip otherwise very cool. |

Also noticed that if there is no text "null" in the file before saving then it errors. with code runtime 25 at line 222.
I have a suggestion if you need a minimum characters before saving. One thing you could do is add a non-edible field above the notepad. Make it grayish or something that doesn't blare out at you.
Then in this read only field populate it with the last time someone changed the content or logged in. Maybe along with what system / user that did the changing.
i.e. LAST ACCESS - Last Accessed On: 01 Jan 10 - 11:03 AM By HOMEPC\ADMIN
That's how my program works. That way you know if someone has been in your file and or when you last changed something in it.
Another thing I just found if you paste into your program it doesnt save it. so maybe disable the paste funshion or allow it somehow.
Sorry I dont mean to pick it apart so much.. I really do like it. |

@briguy - I'm glad you picked it apart. I'll work on the errors hopefully tonight. Good idea about the last saved.
thanks!
[EDIT]
I have updated Self Note. I think I fixed the error 25 @ 222 and I also added a Last Mod: to the status bar to show when the text was last modified. Use the link above to download. _________________ Chris Gingerich

Could you post your new version to the VDS download section. I dont have access to the site you posted to.
That site is blocked for me. |
