Hello, I've developed a hotkey management application for Windows. Its main feature is the ability to assign hotkeys to multiple keyboards connected to the computer.
Its original purpose was to improve ergonomics while working with graphics tablet, but I found it to be pretty useful even while working only on keyboard allowing me to have an extra keyboard dedicated for hotkeys next to it (for example to paste code blocks). Therefore I would like to offer the application to the users here (it is open source, free, without any ads).
What would be an ideal way of doing this? Should I write a Tip & Trick article for the application? Or is there more appropriate place where should I put its description? Or should I send it to somebody else to review it? (I would like it to have a discussion available, because I would appreciate any feedback).

Just write an Article/Tip about it, or post the message in the Free Tools forum.

Okay, thanks for the reply

I noticed that someone downloaded my code source for an article which was deleted long ago.
I've seen this happen numerous times but didn't worry about it til now.
The article:
View All Internet History and Images (from cache) for All Five Browsers[^]
I don't believe they can even view the article, but they downloaded the code.
I am posting this here so someone can help permanently remove the code and I am going to go and now attempt to delete the article again.
Thanks,

No problem. I have deleted the code from the servers.
Thanks,

I deleted the article for you.

From time to time I see a batch of articles and tips, etc. come up for review that are old versions of published articles. I have left these alone (neither approved nor reported), but I'm curious what triggers these to come up, and what steps we as reviewers should take.

|

When an old article is updated by the author it will cause the article to go back into the moderation queue.

Thanks, I will review those as per newer version articles. Strange that authors revert from their latest version so often.

imho, there's not enough technical meat in this series of rambles, and anecdotes, including vital information like the author forgot the name of a book that gave him the key idea (but, no problem, we can look it up, he says):
Part 1: "He recommended I read an ebook about it, which I did do, and then forgot the name of, but google is your friend." ... with no links, no code ...to ... make one CodeProject article, let alone three.
These are not Happy Meals for the discerning intellect.
thanks, Bill

Did you reported as poor quality or something? That is something you can do.

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you

Hi Nelek,
Well, I think reporting this here is something appropriate I can do; and, I did.
These "articles" are not spam, I think, not directly abusive in the usual sense of that word. And, I see no possible constructive outcome from down-voting them, or commenting on them.
My concern is how content like this "gets through."
cheers, Bill

Although I understand and share your concern about how they "get through", the reports are there for a reason.
I am not telling they are spam, neither I am telling that they are abusive and I am not telling you to give any comment (if you don't want to).
If bad contributions "get through" because there is people cheating or people approving all what it gets in moderation queue or other reason. The only way to contribute to keep the site clean of "bad posts" and the quality level is using the tools we have.
Telling it here was one step, but CP offers the report options of "unclear / incomplete" and "poor quality" as well. And from your opening post, it is easy to read that you consider them poor quality. Then... why don't do it?

I recently submitted a C++ article which was rejected because it supposedly copied some or all work on another blog. This other blog is in fact my own blog, so nothing has been plagiarised. Is there a way to contact the reviewer on Code Project who rejected the article to get this resolved. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

You should not post articles that are just copies of your blog. Use the blog feeder so all your blog articles get loaded automatically.

Hi Richard, imho, I question if re-posts of blogs are really excellent long-run contributions to CP's quality.
But, I note that many people are doing this frequently. And, as I recall, Chris M. said it was okay to blog-re-post in response to a post in Suggs&Bugs I made about one fellow who has done that many times.

Point taken, Bill. My suggestion was merely to help the poster avoid the "is this plagiarised?" cycle.
|
|

It would be helpful for authors that repost on CP to indicate their own source, and of course format the article for better reading on CP.
|
|

There is also a field in the article editor for a link to the original source. Putting a link to the blog there couldn't hurt, and would hopefully avoid the problem; though I agree that the comment about changing your user ID to your real name is a good one.

To avoid such missunderstanding I recommend you to change your nickname from the default name. It can make it easier to see that is your content

Sadly no. In this case we just delete one. Usually the one with fewer votes / popularity.

Somebody know if there's the way to get it?
Thanks a lot and Best Regards,
