RFC / Beta Testers Wanted: pyscFilteredViewer

Since I use the SendMessage method I also had no crash anymore.
I tried to pinpoint the cause of the issue but my lack of C++ knowledge isn’t really helpful here ;-)

wow, 2.2k viewers !!!

it seems that pyscfr isn’t just a cool tool for us internally.
it has apparently caught more interest than the majority of topics, excluding official announcements 👍

@Ekopalypse

you have to reduce your offline times, please 😉

@Meta-Chuh,

You did a stealth edit and got rid of the “how many downloads at GitHub” question… but I found that timely, because it was just a few hours ago that I went searching how to find that information.

It’s in the GitHub API: https://api.github.com/repos/pryrt/pyscFilteredViewer/releases lists the JSON for the project, and each of the “assets” has a “download_count” attribute. Unfortunately, that appears to just be for the manual script-only zipfile that I upload as an “asset”, because I don’t see download_count for any of their auto-generated tarball/zipball.

At last check, v0.03-beta had 2 downloads, and v0.04-beta had 4. So not exactly the impressive number that the Community “views” count would indicate. I think the 44 posts in this thread, and all of our views where we load/reload/upvote/refresh probably artificially inflate that count. :-)

Well there is a fight we can’t win I guess - my boss, she is also called wife, has exactly the opposite opinion :-D

easy solution:

take her to a nice dinner.
order something very spicy for you.
complain about a stomach ache because it was too spicy.
go to the toilet for an extended period of time and use your mobile phone to get here.

side note: repeat this every day, and she’ll get completely used to it. 😉

@Meta-Chuh

the idea is nice despite the fact that I’m already eating very spicy and, sounds strange these days,
I don’t have a mobile. And carrying my laptop with me while having diner with her … well … you can guess
what might happen … a tip … nothing that a man really likes :-D

@Ekopalypse

then i have an …

adaption of the hitchhiker’s guide to the notepad++ community for married men:

take her to a nice dinner to restaurants where you have previously deposited a notebook at every toilet.
order something very, very spicy for you.
complain about a stomach ache because it was too spicy.
go to the toilet for an extended period of time and use your mobile phone to get here.
take care to limit the amounts of restaurants you visit to only a few, in order not to get broke due to buying a vast amount of notebooks you have to deposit at every toilet.

seen that, that’s why i removed the question in time.
albeit i doubt that it was just us who have visited this thread that often.
after looking at the download count, i re-checked some of our other topics for the hit count, and all of the ones i’ve visited, that had our personal interest, were far below that count.

ps: sorry for hijacking your thread with so much spicy food for married men.

looool, yes i’ve predicted the spicy future back then and this was the only reason why i asked for 5 of those at that thread 👍😂👍

We hijack other threads so often, it’s about time we started hijacking our own threads, too. :-)
