General Software Discussion / Re: Want to print artist/album list of ogg/mp3 files

If you can't find anything, I can write you a small app (Coding Snack) that would do this.  I assume your files are well-tagged?  As an aside, I listen to whole albums as well.  =]

Site/Forum Features / Re: Feature Request: Copy Code

« on: May 02, 2009, 05:25 AM »

it seems like they did had the 'copy code' feature but it wasn't working on all browsers (such as Firefox) and the idea is pretty useful.

-lanux128 (May 01, 2009, 10:05 PM)

Actually, it's not the browser type...the copy-to-clipboard feature on the AHK forums doesn't work with Flash 10.

« on: April 24, 2009, 07:34 PM »

Did you want anything else?  I was thinking:

1) Option for recursing through the source folder.  This will have to entail some rename logic for filename collisions.
2) Option for moving instead of copying (as it does now).
3) Drag-n-drop support for the folder edit fields.

Try this out:  Dimensions 2 Folders



Currently, it does not recurse subfolders in the source folder nor will it overwrite a file in the eventual destination folder.  These are behaviours that are easily added but I wanted to see if this is what you had in mind first.  As always, better name suggestions are always welcome.  =]

Edit: Added screenshot.

For the record, SAPI must be installed for the TTS stuff to even have a chance at working.  I believe that SAPI is installed by default on XP.  Otherwise, you can download from it from Microsoft.  I've no idea if it works on Win9x/ME (I would guess not).

v1.0.2 build 269
    + Added a Text-To-Speech option to the "New track notification" options.  (Thanks, mouser)
    + Added an option so you can choose what happens to the toaster popup when you click on it.
      Currently, you can make it stay on-screen until it loses focus or you can make it disappear
      immediately.  Tools, Options, Toaster tab.  (Thanks, app103)
    * Improved the "Repeat file" mode to do gapless looping.  (Thanks, superboyac)
    ! Add URL GUI showed up incorrectly under Windows 7 Beta.  (Thanks, temp01)
    ! Album art showed up incorrectly on startup if Trout was installed on the
      root of a drive.  (Thanks, temp01)

Would it be difficult to just do it in the trout player?  because all the controls and stuff are already in there...keyboard shortcuts, playlist, drag/drop support.

-superboyac (April 22, 2009, 11:36 AM)

Nah, not difficult.  Grab the latest build (see my sig); it should do gapless looping now.

Try Looper...it's fairly minimal at this point but it ought to get the job done for you.  If it's along the lines of what you had in mind, let me know, and I'll clean it up a bit.

Is there a way to get Trout to save Playlist info after every track?

-Deozaan (April 06, 2009, 02:20 AM)

I've changed it so the list saves after adding or deleting files.  Hopefully, this will alleviate the issues you're having.

The option to play a sound when the track changes is very useful.. and has led to me to wonder if it might be cool to have an option to use the MS speech api to actually announce the track #, or filename, or track title.  Could be cool -- and useful for those of us listening to audiobooks while going to sleep, or for visual impaired people.

-mouser (April 13, 2009, 11:33 AM)

Hmmm...cool idea...and something I should be able to implement.  Thanks for the idea.

Lastest build:

v1.0.2 build 257
    + Added "Add paths from clipboard" to the File menu.
    * Made Trout save the current list after adding/deleting files.  [Thanks, Deozaan]
    ! Fixed a logic bug when entering/checking Last.fm username/password data.  [Thanks, apfel]

I will wait to post about this until the bug has been fixed, though.

-raybeere (April 15, 2009, 03:18 PM)

I think the meters.xml deleting itself was due to me watching that file with another editor as I was developing this.  I changed up the loading/saving routines so they should be much faster.  Also, here are some built-in shortcuts for manipulating the listview:

ctrl-a: Select all
ctrl-u: Deselect all
ctrl-i: Invert selection
ctrl-up: Move continguous selection up a row.
ctrl-down: Move continguous selection down a row.
Delete: Deletes a selection.

You can use the ctrl-up/down to order your meters (since they are generated from that order).

Barbecue

Anybody able to come up with a better name for this so we can call it done?

I'm trying to track down a bug where the meters.xml file is getting deleted.  Soooo...if you have a lot of meters configured, back that file up for the time being.

An option to add a line (below the title or at the bottom of the meter) with a deadline is something I suspect some users will ask for

-raybeere (April 14, 2009, 11:45 AM)

Thanks for the kind compliments.  Try the latest and see if this is what you had in mind: Barbecue

Is it okay to spread the word about this, or would you rather I wait?

-raybeere (April 14, 2009, 11:45 AM)

Sure, feel free.

an option to allow bars to be clicked on to adjust the position in the main progress display would be nice.

-mouser (April 14, 2009, 11:52 AM)

This will be a little more complicated since the the Progress Bar isn't really designed for this sort of thing in AHK.  However, I managed to do it for Trout so I'll see what I can do for this app.

I uploaded a new build with some basic tray handling added.  Now, closing the main window will just hide it to the tray.  If you want to exit the app, choose File, Exit or Exit from the tray menu.  Double-clicking the tray icon will show the meters.

It's not finished by any means but it should give you an idea of where I'm going with this.  Give it a play and let me know your thoughts.

ToDo:

1) Proper tray menu (clicking the tray icon will show the meters, etc.)
2) Your ideas here...

possible request: use a standard file format for configuration (xml?) so that alternative tools could also use the same configuration files?

-mouser (April 12, 2009, 11:50 PM)

I wasn't planning on it but I went ahead and implemented it.  It currently looks like this:

Code: Text [Select]

1. <?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
2. <meters version="1.0">
3.   <meter>
4.     <title>Groping for Truth</title>
5.     <type>articles</type>
6.     <number>6</number>
7.     <total>8</total>
8.     <bar_fg_color>Blue</bar_fg_color>
9.     <bar_bg_color>Aqua</bar_bg_color>
10.   </meter>
11.   <meter>
12.     <title>The Swordsmith's Son</title>
13.     <type>words</type>
14.     <number>6486</number>
15.     <total>12000</total>
16.     <bar_fg_color>Purple</bar_fg_color>
17.     <bar_bg_color>Fuchsia</bar_bg_color>
18.   </meter>
19. </meters>

Apologies for the delay in providing something tangible to play with; I just need to implement a few more things before releasing the first version.  As always...any ideas on a name for this?

The page that generated the original code is linked above. The image is from static code I edited by hand to set the numbers and percentages, so I'm not sure if that's what you're looking for. As far as that goes, I have no problem with standard Windows controls; I just found this and thought I'd try it out to see how easily it worked.

I was going to write the meters using standard Windows controls but, if you would like it done via HTML like this, please send me the HTML you used.  I still plan to use a listview to allow management of the meters but I can dynamically generate your HTML from it.

I've got some ideas rolling around in my head for coding this up.  I think it's quite a bit more than a coding snack, though.

1) How many meters were you thinking of?
2) I was thinking of a main listview that would aggregrate all the meters' information.  The meter GUIs themselves would be based off of this.
