I've installed this, and it seems to be the "Preview" version. What's that all about? 
|
|
|
|
|
Anything useful is either in preview or discontinued. Just kidding!

Don't know, but many (most?) gov.uk forms - that we HAVE to use for tax, pensions, cars etc - are marked as "BETA". There's no option to go back to the previous "version"...

I always found it amusing that the internet is built on documents that are named "Request For Comments" which stands for RFC.
Historically those documents were specifically that - a 'request' for others to 'comment' on.
But somehow at some point those became the form of the actual formal specification.

|
|
|
|
Indeed... When people refer to Internet "standards", I sometimes remind them that they're really just "suggestions" 😂
|
|

Like the specifications published by ITU, the International Telecommunications Union - they are just 'recommendations'.
(For those who do not know: ITU recommendations are those with a single letter, a dot and a decimal number, such as X.25, X.509, G.728, Q.700 ...)

I've using the little tool "Default Programs Editor", and although sometimes it's a bit strange, it works. However, whenever Window$, VideoLan, or InfraView does an update, a whole bunch of icons get redone to the stupid traffic cone or cat icons of those latter 2 apps  , thus causing me to have to go through the tedious process to put in my own prefered icons for image, sound & video files.
I've had enough of this, and I can't take it anymore!
I want a tool that lets me keep some type of batch file such that when these icon extinction events happen, I can just run the tool with the existing batch file, and be done with it.
Any ideas?

Part of the problem might be that you are using icons from a DLL/EXE that is updated.
Create a private stash (way out of the system path!) of the DLL/EXE and reference that copy for your icons.
|
|
|
|
|
I do have a private stash where I keep the icon files - they don't get deleted, but they stop working in Explorer.
|
|
|
|

When you install apps, always pick the Custom option, and uncheck the checkboxes that allow it to take over. Otherwise they'll happily replace file associations with types they can handle, and there go your preferred icons.
But to be more pragmatic:
All file association details are stored in the registry (I can't be bothered to look them up right now, but they're easy enough to find). It's a huge list, so export (only) the subset of associations you care about to .reg files; you can re-combine them all into a single file once you think you've covered everything that matters. The .reg file format is easy enough to manipulate manually with Notepad.
When an app replaces your existing customizations, just double-click on the .reg file to re-import what you had before, thus undoing (only) the file associations the installer clobbered. Rather low-risk IMO, and very effective.

Update: Someone on reddit helped me with this, and the solution is simple and elegant. I'm low key ashamed I didn't think of it. 
I run into that with C++ sometimes.
all i wanted to do was extend
rgb_pixel<24> foo;
foo.channel<channel_name::R>(63);
so you could set multiple channels at once.
rgb_pixel<24> foo;
foo.channel<channel_name::R,channel_name::G,channel_name::B>(63,31,47);
You'd think you could do with a parameter pack (template<typename... ChannelNames> but no, because I'm already using a parameter pack and you can't take two to a template.
Anyway, I dug and dug and dug even through some esoteric techniques to stash parameter packs in tuples[^] which I still don't understand
Finally I gave in. You know what I did?
template<typename Name>
constexpr inline void channel(typename channel_by_index<channel_index_by_name<Name>::value>::int_type value) {
constexpr const int index = channel_index_by_name<Name>::value;
channel<index>(value);
}
template<typename Name1, typename Name2>
constexpr inline void channel(typename channel_by_index<channel_index_by_name<Name1>::value>::int_type value1,
typename channel_by_index<channel_index_by_name<Name2>::value>::int_type value2) {
constexpr const int index1 = channel_index_by_name<Name1>::value;
channel<index1>(value1);
constexpr const int index2 = channel_index_by_name<Name2>::value;
channel<index2>(value2);
}
template<typename Name1, typename Name2, typename Name3>
constexpr inline void channel(typename channel_by_index<channel_index_by_name<Name1>::value>::int_type value1,
typename channel_by_index<channel_index_by_name<Name2>::value>::int_type value2,
typename channel_by_index<channel_index_by_name<Name3>::value>::int_type value3) {
constexpr const int index1 = channel_index_by_name<Name1>::value;
channel<index1>(value1);
constexpr const int index2 = channel_index_by_name<Name2>::value;
channel<index2>(value2);
constexpr const int index3 = channel_index_by_name<Name3>::value;
channel<index3>(value3);
}

C++ is better than this. I'm not. This is after posting in r/cpp_questions and posting a question here and getting nowhere.
I feel bad about this code. It's terrible. And I'm stuck with it until I get better at C++

Yes, this is part & parcel of programming.  Back when I was slinging code, I used to read books from Scott Meyer ("Effective C++") et al to bring my level of coding practice to that of a fine craftsman.
Did that craftsmanship keep me employable? NO
Do employers give a rat's a33 about such craftsmanship? H3LL NO
Indeed, the reason that Java has become the default application development is because all its belts & suspenders make it so that the product that poor coders put out will not (usually) cause crashes and other failures, since the compiler ensures that everything is neatly belted up. I'd like to say something similar about JavaScript, but that monster makes Java look professorial.

It looks like you created a template tuple. That proves you do understand tuples!
(I am mostly lost)😊
|
|

My first impression was "tuple? I don't think you read my code right"
And then I realized, you're just looking at my pixel<> template as if it were a tuple, and that makes sense because you can access the channels off of it as though they were tuple fields.
I never looked at it that way, but you're absolutely right.
Maybe you understand more of it than you think?

I was referring to this clause.
template<typename Name1, typename Name2, typename Name3>
I have only ever used tuples in Python:
(anyValue1, anyValue2,…)
slap some items together so you can track them with a single reference. Great for returning multiple pieces of information from a function.

Ah, those are simply template arguments in C++.

Hi, you wrote that you are already using a parameter pack in the function rgbpixel::channel. Where would that be? Please post the signature(s) of rgbpixel::channel. Is your code somewhere so I could have a look?

Sure
gfx/include/gfx_pixel.hpp at master · codewitch-honey-crisis/gfx · GitHub[^]
Pixel is at line 504
template<typename... ChannelTraits>
struct pixel {
...
This parameter pack is effectively passed through to each of the metadata query templates, as well as any function that access pixel data, like the implementation of channel<>()
