Vscode Downloading Vs Code Server forever

My Vs Code not working well when I tried connect docker to code into it. I don't know why, but I suppose that upgrade broke my project. Before it, the setting was working very well.
I took a picture and ask how can I fix it.

Unable to drag files after installing communication with python script

I built an electron app that allowed dragging files in, with a jQuery script that just takes some info from that (path) and adds an li to a list. That's it. It worked great.
Then I followed this guide, because the next step is to send that information to a python script that analyzes the files (maybe relevant: when installing zeroRPC I built from sources, didn't rely on the prebuilt fork that's available there).
Now I get this crazy bug where when I drag files into the app my mouse pointer changes to not-allowed and the drop event doesn't fire. It's so weird.
I don't have any code sample to give because I can't really tell which part is wrong. The only changes I've done are the ones in the guide I linked, and they have nothing to do with the front-end. I'm really confused by this. not-allowed? Why?
Well, as suspected, the issue had nothing to do with either the front end or the back end. None of my code, really. It turned out that since I needed to compile some stuff while preparing zeroRPC, I used powershell as an administrator,, and you can't drag files from user-run explorer into an admin-run electron app - which makes sense and is in fact an expected behavior (it just so happened that I encountered this after doing some work, causing me to think the problem was with something I changed in my code).

What would be the best way to create a firefox plugin for taking desktop screenshots?

I need to create a firefox plugin that allows a user to take screenshots of any part of their desktop and have them uploaded to a server. There seems to be lots of plugins for screen capturing a webpage, but nothing for capturing anything outside of firefox. So after a little research I have not found much information on how this might be possible. I don't want to resort to a using a java applet but I will if that is my only option.
Does anyone have advice on how I might create such a feature?
Thanks
I don't think a Firefox addon is the most appropriate approach here. Maybe split the task into a Firefox addon to offer the "upload to a server" component and a native app to do the desktop screenshot (or just integrate with existing screenshot tools).
If you're worried about complicating the installation process for end users, you could look into bundling the addon component and native app into a single installer (e.g. MSI on Windows, RPM on Linux, etc.). You'll have to come up with different apps for each platform you want to support (and maybe even each version - e.g. Windows XP vs Windows 10).
Whatever you decide, you'll probably need to create a more specific question to get further help here (there's no simple Firefox.Addons.API.TakeScreenShot() answer I'm afraid).
Also make sure you're using the right terminology - a plugin is the deprecated NPAPI approach whereas addons are still supported.
I'm actually working on taking native desktop screenshots just in the last coupel of days. I'm using js-ctypes. My work goal is the same exact thing to, upload to server. If you would like to collaborate I am very open to it! We can chat about it on #jsctypes irc channel :) irc://moznet/jsctypes (Mibbit IRC WebApp) If you don't know js-ctypes thats ok i can handle that while you can handle uploading techniques, and an editor on canvas :) The editor is a huge part of it, you can see my ideas/plans here: https://github.com/Noitidart/NativeShot/wiki/NativeShot
I'm really really interested in a collab on this!
I'm still working on windows right now, the color is messed up: https://github.com/Noitidart/NativeShot/tree/digitanks-method
I was just about to start OSX work following this example here: https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/samplecode/SonOfGrab/Introduction/Intro.html and here: Take ScreenShot without Window
You can install the addon from that branch and click the icon that gets added to the toolbar, it will take a screenshot with 3sec delay and then append it to the body of the selected tab. (Windows only right now)
Doneskis baby check it out: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/nativeshot/
Got some quirks. Released it as v1.0 though. I'm working on Android support, pretty close. I need to flesh out the editor tools. Please let me know if you're willing to collaborate.

DelphiXE7: Where''s the WinAPI help topics?

Hello I just finally buy the newest Delphi after many years using older version or free pascal. Everything seem to work as expected except when I look the help I can't find winapi or opengl topics like i could in old version.
Do I need to install something special so I can press f1 over for example "messagebox" or "sleep" or "glcolor" or whatever because I install delphi xe7 3 times now but there is only "Install Help" option during install and no other help option I can see.
A while ago I had tried to fix this annoying change from how it was to limited success. What I had done was:
- install the documentation part of "Windows 7 SDK with .net 3.5" (won't work with any later SDK installs since they changed help format)
- install a program from helpware called FAR
- in program FAR, choose H2 UTILS, then select "embarcadero.rs_xe7", then click register
- go to plugins and add WIN7SDKCOM
That was it, with that done both the table of contents and index of delphi help contained the whole windows 7 documentation. HOWEVER! There was a problem, and it was that many (most?) winapi F1 context sensitive help didn't work, it still took me to the standard delphi help page that said to go to MSDN even though if i went to the index i would immediately find the topic.
So, imperfect answer that I'm relaying from memory since I reinstalled that computer and didn't add the win7sdk this time. Hopefully it helps, I know I was happy to have easier offline access to the documentation. Maybe someone can figure out the extra step to make F1 help also work completely.

Notepad++ auto indent

I have been using Notepad++ for quite sometime now. I didn't have any of the plugins installed, for all the time I used it. Some days ago, I moved on to another PC and I installed Notepad++ (v6.5.1) in it and for some reason the auto-indent does not seem to be working!! I remember it as working in my old PC without any exclusive setting.
I made sure that the auto-indent option under the MISC tab of Preferences is set. I know that I can use plugins like nppautoindent or indent by fold to achieve the desired result, but I would like to know why it isn't working and how I can set it right. Has anyone come across or heard of such an issue?
P.S. - I was coding in Ruby and I made sure that it was selected under the language menu. To make sure, I also tried Java. It didn't make any difference though!! I felt like I was using the featureless built in windows notepad!!
