N.A.N.Y. 2013 / Re: NANY 2013 Release: Customizable Remote Administration Panel (CRAP)

2.1.0 build 71 BETA - BETA Download Page
(Maybe last beta build before a general release build if things are appearing to be polished.)

1. Reverted the launch file exists check to the before method.
2. Fixed minor annoyance with variable field being cleared.
3. Added warning if a button uses the variable text and the variable bar is hidden. (Upon attempting to launch.)

Let me know if this one fixes the 2 above issues you mentioned.

i think fuzzy matching will fix pretty much all these issues.

if you need more sample list just do a dir /a /s > list1.txt and compare it to the same list. good for stress testing mem and cpu usage as well.

Thanks!

So I extracted 2.1.0 build 70 BETA and tried running a few commands on my work computer, but I ran into a an error with a few of them.

For example, I have a button with the following settings :

Image File: <appdir>icons\Ping.png
Application: ping.exe
Application Arguments :-t <var>
Start in:
Button Caption: Ping -t
Command Window : Skip (Direct Launch)
Ignore : Variable Whitespace

When trying to run that command, I'm met with the following error message:

Launch cancelled. Application file listed bellow is missing.

ping.exe

Same problem with buttons that I set to direct launch mstsc.exe, explorer.exe or mmc.exe

From what I gathered, it would seem that, when using "Direct Launch" only, when the full path to the application is not specified, this version of the program tries to check if it finds the program in the PATH, but fails to find it.
However, it does find and launch successfully some third party executables that I've placed in other folders, which I added to my system PATH, without having their paths spelled out in the button settings.
I suspect that it probably has to do with the PATH relying on the %SystemRoot% environment variable for executables that ship with Windows (?)

Replacing the setting in the button with "%systemroot%\system32\ping.exe" also does not fix the problem, I have to put "C:\Windows" in place of "%systemroot%".


Another minor annoyance that I noticed is that, after editing a button, the contents of the Variable field is emptied.

I will fix the annoyance. I will also remove the file exists check to let it catch files not found as before which should fix the other issue too.

General Software Discussion / Re: FileHamster 1.x is very useful. Does anyone have a collection！

The old version of the official website is offline, and the new version is very stuck on the machine

What do you mean by "the new version is very stuck on the machine" ?

Where can I find the plugin for the FileHamster 1.x era

-hinum009 (April 07, 2024, 05:30 AM)

If they're still selling the software with plugins, I dont think I can (legally) share plugins.
What I have is version 2 anyways ...

fuzzy matching is the next feature.

-compn (Today at 11:10 AM)

Got it! Was already finding code to fix foreign titles:

https://gist.github.com/andyraddatz/e6a396fb91856174d4e3f1bf2e10951c

e.g. as per your example:

Woman and Gramophone Johannes Stjärne Nilsson & Ola Simonsson, 2000

Stjärne => Stjarne


Just sent a PM for you to reply/confirm before continuing

Thanks!

Thanks for your reply

So, the next batch of functionality should be:

- Fix Unicode file names.

- Strip "the" from the beginning of movie titles.

- Use year of movie when comparing.

Please confirm

super crash!

works ok with list1 / list2 / list3

but trying my lists, i get a crash. my lists may have unicode (or just non english codepage) characters in the filenames. i dont need to compare these filenames, and would rather have them ignored.

attached is a sample filename which crashes

running sed "s/[^\x00-\x7F]//g" list.txt
seems to fix the issue and allows me to use the program on my list.

as for matching... well. there are problems. the year has to be matched. but i do like that years are sometimes matched because sometimes movie years will be incorrect from filename to filename. a release date vs a production date or theatrical release date. so i dont know what i want here. i've seen years be off by 3 or even 8 years from what imdb claims. not sure this can be fixed, its an imdb issue

Alice
First list:
Alice [1982]
Alice [1991]
Second list:
Alice (1988).mkv

Alice in Wonderland
First list:
Alice in Wonderland [1999]
Alice in Wonderland [2010]
Second list:
Alice in Wonderland (1903).mkv

All Quiet on the Western Front
First list:
All Quiet on the Western Front [1979]
Second list:
All Quiet on the Western Front (1930).mkv

but these didnt match. the following might be useful for fuzzy match testing?

list1
Child's Play [1988]
Child's Play 2 [1990]
Child's Play 3 [1991]
Child's Play Sidney Lumet, 1972
Necronomicon
Necronomicon: Book of Dead [1994]
The Necronomicon [2009]
RiffTrax - The Psychotronic Man (1979) mp4

The Phantom Creeps [1939]
ROTOR_divx avi

list2
01 Child’s Play (1988) 3 Commentaries.mkv
03 Childs Play 3 (1991).mkv
Necronomicon (1993).mkv
Psychotronic Man.mp4
R.O.T.O.R..mkv
Phantom Creeps.mp4


(its why i wanted to ignore words like "the". because sometimes they use the "the" and sometimes "not".
