Finished Programs / Re: REQ - Random (real random) file from folder and subfolders

« on: March 09, 2009, 11:45 AM »

I'm curious about the randomness of this script. Could you make a simple thing with the same random-engine as in Pick Me and then wait for user input of:
 - Number of choices
 - Number of times to do the experiment

And then a resultpage where it sums up the number of times each choice has been randomly chosen.

This all is because I sometimes think it's not that random.

This sounds interesting.

Is there BTW something like xfire has where it counts the number of time you play a certain game and last:fm counts what music you play for tv shows and movies?

Post New Requests Here / Re: IDEA: Random frame thumbnail of movie files in explorer

« on: March 08, 2009, 05:59 PM »

Looks to me that your question results either in huge automatically generated (by Windows) thumbnail file for each movie (at least the size of the original movie) or enormous bite out of the available CPU resources every time you open a folder with these kind of files. And you should hope that those files are not cached else you have one movie (700Mb), one thumbnail file (700Mb) and a cached version (700Mb) on your system, which adds up quickly.

Although I like your idea, it seems a bit impractical (maintenance wise) to me.

Well I'm still looking for a nice way to browse my tv shows. XBMC or some other thing is way too sophisticated for this purpose.

Heya! I'm wondering: The thumbnails of movie files always have the first frame. I would like to get a random frame and be able to set them. Is that possible?

For Trout, it would be wonderful to remove it from taskbar and let it run only on the right side in...(I forgot what it's called) - stroke leaves me grasping for words, but you KNOW what I mean.

It's called "The notification area"

Why do some people call the taskbar the "tray"?

Ah yes.. this was requested in the past.. while i don't want to say i would never do it, it's very low on my priority list because i believe farr functions best as something that is invisible when not in use.

In the Netherlands we have something called the Gay Parade, where like 1 million people come to see 2000 homosexuals on little boats with almost zero clothing. Not my cup of tea.

Post New Requests Here / Re: Transparent taskbar

« on: March 07, 2009, 02:24 PM »

I'm sure this request has been around some times, but I want to add something different. The taskbar has a preconfigured transparency (e.g. 40%). But when you hover over it it fades in a preconfigured time (e.g. 100 ms) to a preconfigured other transparency value (e.g. 80%).

Does this kind of thing exist already?

-Coeluh (March 07, 2009, 11:56 AM)

Jay, I modded it. It works.
The effect I got is not as cool as I thought it would look.

No, but it does let you configure different sound profiles (10 I believe) and switch between them with a hotkey combination.

OK, I had a look at The Windows Vista Volume Mixer screenshot... I see what you are after...

I would like to be able to select multiple files (and be able to drag them) with a first click and then a second click while holding shift or dragging hold mouse button selection (like in explorer).

-Coeluh (March 07, 2009, 04:08 AM)

Done! Have fun!

really great app! but it shows me if i choose for example audio files and 1 result always one result more. if i say it should give me 2 results it gives me 3 files at the end and so on.
could you please fix this, because i think this program is very handy, but this issue disturbs me a little bit

Yes, I tried that a while ago but without success. See the other thread above. Too bad because it would be really, really useful to have an easy to use, GUI controlled sound proxy (application independent volume control, output to multiple soundcards, switch output from one soundcard to another on the fly...)

-Nod5 (March 06, 2009, 11:56 AM)

I would only be interested in the first thing. It's a shame only vista supports it by default.

Dude you are holy to me! Very nice, the command line thing works great! One more question:

When I now click a file in the list, and then another one, the old one stays selected and the new one too. I would like to be able to select multiple files (and be able to drag them) with a first click and then a second click while holding shift or dragging hold mouse button selection (like in explorer).

people please remember to send a few credits to the author of a program if you want to support their work and say thank you; just click the gold coin under their name.

Woow that's AMAZING. You are really good! Nice layout, everything.

I've one feature request. Is it hard to make the files directly drag-and-drop-able? Fromout the list? And maybe a tiny .ini which remembers last location, is that hard too?

And thanks for making me 1 year old.

And some command line request: Via a shortcut and parameter you can define the directory and the filetype. WHen you click the shortcut, it opens (instead of highlights) 1 random picked file.

« on: March 05, 2009, 05:55 PM »

This is a REQ and no IDEA because I can't imagine anyone else wanting this piece of software:

I've like many tv shows on my harddisk, and I can't really deside which one to watch. You have to specify:
- Top folder (where it will search including subfolders)
- Extensions (Which extensions to include in the sears)
- Number of times (like how many random files do you want)

The result is: A list of files where you can click on and when you click on it it selects the file in explorer. (Picasa does have that feature, it selects a picture in explorer, like that)

App name: Pick Me!
