Find And Run Robot / Network access?
« on: January 04, 2009, 09:35 PM »
Hi,

First off, let me say that I love FARR.  I use it religiously--I think the last time I touched my Start Menu was before I installed FARR (not even remotely kidding).  I use it for EVERYTHING.  I especially like how I can quickly navigate to a folder:
Type: C:\Pr
Tab: C:\Program Files\
Type: C:\Program Files\Fin
Tab: C:\Program Files\FindAndRunRobot\
etc.
This speeds up my workflow greatly.
One feature FARR seems to be lacking, however, is the ability to access other computers/servers on the network.
I have a couple of computers, between which I often transfer files.  I can access one computer from another by opening windows explorer and typing \\computer2 or \\computer2\somefolder\, etc.
However, when I try to do this in FARR, it does not work.  This makes me sad, because I can do virtually everything else in FARR, but to browse another computer/server, I must do it in the much slower Explorer.
Is there something I am missing?  Or can I request this feature?

Thanks!

It looks worse in the picture because of the compression--the circle is actually pretty smooth.

Thanks, glad you like it.  It was programmed in just a couple of days, because I was way too busy.  I feel like it's not up to the caliber of the other entries, but I use it myself, just in a corner of the screen on small.

I'm not sure mine can even stand up to the one featured on Lifehacker; that said, mine can fit into a smaller space (on the small setting)...

Installation
Unzip it and run PowerCircle.exe

Using the Application
Left-clicking allows one to move the application.
Right-clicking allows one to access the menu.

Uninstallation
Delete the files

Known Issues
The transparency doesn't work perfectly on the text.
(not really a program issue) I didn't have time to make the website awesome.  Right now it's just the picture above and a link.  :(

So to reiterate, here is the link to all the files of my modified version of Skrommel's:
http://aldwin.us/PhotoKiosk/
Here's the single exe file:
http://aldwin.us/PhotoKiosk/PhotoKiosk.exe

And I used it at the tournament and it worked great.  So, can I put this in the finished snacks or does a moderator have to do it?

Mhm, I realized I would be running this on systems without AHK, and therefore would need to run the EXE.  But, each system would have different drive letters, so I had to put an ini part in.

first off, it's not my script, just my mods to skrommel's excellent program.

and you must set the origin directory in the ini.

Okay, so here's the version I'll probably end up using for the tournament.
Again, Skrommel, if you mind, I'll take down the code and just use the added features on my own personal system.

http://aldwin.us/PhotoKiosk/ - here you can find the PhotoKiosk AHK along with the needed icons
http://aldwin.us/Pho...Kiosk/PhotoKiosk.exe - A direct link to the EXE (contains all needed icons)

If it seems OK, maybe this topic is now DONE instead of IDEA?

I also have been tweaking it a little to have a message that pops up while pictures are loading/uploading.  Since there are several lines added in different places, I'll just put the entire script here; keep in mind it is SKROMMEL'S, not mine -- I just made modifications.  Once again, this is SKROMMEL'S SCRIPT.  (I also left off the gdi functions on the bottom since it was too long -- if you want to use this script take the bottom from skrommel's)

Just so you know, the hard-to-exit-ness was my request, as I know some people who would love to play that type of mischief :P but I do think it might be a good idea to at least have the key combo listed in the comments at the beginning.  (Ctrl+Shift+Alt+E).

Thanks.

This line was not working:
Gui,Add,Picture,Xm Ym GRELOAD Default,reload.png
Gui,Add,Text,X+5 Ym+7 GRELOAD,&Reload
So I replaced it with this one (the label was GREFRESH not GRELOAD):
Gui,Add,Picture,Xm Ym GREFRESH Default,reload.png
Gui,Add,Text,X+5 Ym+7 GREFRESH,&Reload

I also neatened up the coordinates for use with the 48x48 icons:
Gui,Add,Picture,Xm Ym GREFRESH Default,reload.png
Gui,Add,Text,X+2 Ym+36 GREFRESH,&Refresh
Gui,Add,Picture,X+10 Ym GSELECTALL,list-add.png
Gui,Add,Text,X+2 Ym+36 GSELECTALL,Select &All
Gui,Add,Picture,X+10 Ym GINVERT,list-remove.png
Gui,Add,Text,X+2 Ym+36 GINVERT,&Invert Selection
Gui,Add,Picture,X+10 Ym GUPLOAD,filesave.png
Gui,Add,Text,X+2 Ym+36 GUPLOAD,&Upload

And since I'm using the 48x48 icons, the pictures needed to move down a bit, so I changed this code
y:=25+space
to this
y:=50+space

That's strange--it worked fine for me.  Anyway, I extracted the PNGs I wished to use and put them here:
http://aldwin.us/PKicons/
(in folders by size - 128, 48, 24)
again,
  • refresh: reload.png
  • download pics: filesave.png
  • select all: list-add.png
  • invert (a tough one to find an icon for): list-remove.png
Hopefully you can get the images successfully now.
Also, any idea whether you'd like to use the loading bar image http://aldwin.us/imgloadbar.gif?
The new exit key works great!  Nothing else works, not even Alt+F4.  Awesome!
Everything else looks great.  Thank you so much.

The aspect ratio just seems like a good thing -- what if a naive user thinks the kiosk is changing his photos so people are stretched? (lol)

greying
It wasn't really greying (disabling, I'm assuming you meant?), but instead of a green check it was a green box inside the checkbox.

Only one dialog popped up, and I thought that was for the folder to check, not the destination folder.  Hmm.

Wow, that's great too, Target.  A couple of things:
The polling doesn't work with my card reader, because when you remove the card, the drive itself still exists (it just says Removable Disk whatever), so your script launches the kiosk every second, which says "No images found, remove card and press OK."  Also, the thumbnails were stretched to fit the square rather than keeping the aspect ratio & whitespace.  Also, when I selected all, then none, rather than clearing the checkboxes, it made them all completely colored in.  Wow, bad word choice.  Here's non-checked: [ ], here's checked: [v], here's "colored in":
  • .  When I clicked each individual checkbox, it cycled through those three settings rather than just checked/unchecked.  Finally, I'm not quite sure how to set the destination folder.  Other than that, it's great.

That's strange -- I didn't notice that!  Well, a lot of them are duplicates, so if you look in the thumbnails view you should be able to find the refresh, plus, minus, and download to disk icons.

As for the photo preview,
That would be great too!  Maybe have a checkbox on the preview so that they can check it from there too?

Wow, it works GREAT, thanks!!!

For icons, I was thinking of using a few from this free set:
http://www.silvestre.com.ar/?p=4
the 128x128 or 48x48 (or 24x24, thought they might be a bit small) icons:
refresh: actions/reload.png
download pics: actions/filesave.png
select all: actions/list-add.png
invert (a tough one to find an icon for): actions/list-remove.png

And, just maybe,
EDIT:http://aldwin.us/imgloadbar.gif
(the image really comes from ajaxloader.info but I just realized the link had hotlink protection.  So here's a friendlier link.)
for when reading/downloading?

Also, I noticed that this line was not working:
WinSetTitle,ahk_id %guiid%,,% applicationname - "Reading pictures..."
So when I replaced it with this line it worked fine:
WinSetTitle,ahk_id %guiid%,,% applicationname " - Reading pictures..."

And finally,
ESC still exits -- is there any way to change it to a less guessable key?

EDIT: Oh, and I had another idea (ugh, I'm so embarrassed that I'm asking you so much): some users might try to click on the picture to select it.  Is it possible to make a click on the picture check/uncheck the checkbox?

Wow, thanks Skrommel!  I have a couple of issues with it, though:
  • folder creation - if the folder does not exist (C:\Temp), it creates a file Temp in the C: drive rather than creating a folder named Temp with pictures inside it.
  • date/time folders or file renaming with date/time prefix/suffix
  • multiple sources (4-drive card reader)
  • key to exit - it might be better to have it be some obscure key combo like ctrl+alt+shift+e or something rather than just esc (it would be too easy to exit out of)
  • reading indication - the reading indication doesn't seem to work all the time - when I attempted to refresh, it said reading then the reading tooltip disappeared while it was still reading
  • upload done indication - would it be possible to have an upload done indicator / remove the shown photos when done uploading?

Wow, just finished reading over what I wrote and realized I sound like a whiny dictator.  I'm sorry and I don't mean it to be taken that way.  These are just my suggestions.  Other than those, it works great.

P.S. The interface is also a bit sparse.  Is there an easy way to make the buttons slightly bigger / with pictures?

It would probably be a good idea so the person doing the downloading can make sure they're downloading the right pictures.

Kind of, but I was looking more for something with a super-simplified yet robust interface for a kiosk.

Yes, picasa works well to import (even from memory cards), as does Adobe Bridge Downloader (what I personally use).  But, neither has a simple enough interface suitable for a photo downloader kiosk.
