  This is honestly wonderful! Every command is working and the haptic feedback is working perfectly.

There is only one more tiny glitch, when the player is playing, I can click to load another musical selection and it freezes and doesn't automatically load and play it. Although this could be worked around with an exit and reload of timp, however I had to be honest.

Other than that minor glitch though, I would put my paw of approval on integration with shutdown B!  This is awesome!

I can't wait for this advancement... although I thought of timp's and shutdown B's haptic feedback... I wonder if we could trigger a window's event sound instead of a prebuilt sound thus possibly also removing the bloat? I mean windows has exclamation sounds and question sounds already prebuilt in the system, if there could be a way to trigger that sound on button click or received command that would be perfect.

What do you think about this interesting challenge?

VICtory over Shutdown B as it interfaces wonderfully with the current version of TIMP ... so this will definitely on track to be better than Shutdown 8 and I can't wait to see the Frankenstein that has emerged from the two... I say this is a WIN so far!!

Umm I did as you said... and no extra beep? I copied over a wave file and renamed it ent_screen02.wav... but it does not sound for the icons or the shortcut commands? Am I doing something wrong?

Yet, I wonder when you will introduce the haptic feedback into Timp? When I click an icon in Timp I hear nothing and when I enter a shortcut command into Timp still no click sound. Nothing too loud of course and some little click sound would be nice to encode.

I haven't worked with Shutdown B much to be honest, however I did manage to put the latest iteration of Timp through it's paces. It seems wonderful! Although, the counter for duration isn't working, and I wonder if the slider might be a related to volume or to show the song's progress?

I like the mention of the indication of which modes Timp is set to at the bottom of the play window. This makes it easier on mouseover to remember how it is playing.

Although I haven't tried out the levels of searching subdirectories yet, but I'm really impressed with this development.

« on: February 20, 2024, 02:28 PM »

The command input works ok... but the timer function is locked on 0... so the only way I could gauge the timer is by noticing the time of action... so the timer display should work before integration with TIMP... I mean it seems like a step in the right direction though as if the timer goes negative in the timer's adjustment it starts the right timp directory ok.... I'm sorry my input might not be very helpful....

Hmmm testing this new version out.. it seems it lost the randomness... The player won't shuffle like it did in version 4.0 while it does repeat the song ok, the lists are pretty much staying the same. While the 4.0 reshuffled after each reload of the directory before the graphical addition of the icons, with the loop commands the list is loading normally and locks the list in a normal loading pattern.

While the loop commands are cool, I wonder if we could insert them into the 4.0's style of running random lists?

Sorry it took me this long to test out and find this bug, but a lot has been happening in real life... Still doing the best I can though...

I think once the song repeat function works out, I'm curious to see how that merger would look actually... I mean if the program was activated without any input command lines, would it start shutdown b? Also, could the program still be small?

It sounds like a fascinating idea/tool nonetheless....

Super!  ShutdownB is feature-complete and we're taking it out of ALPHA stage next version/release (v0.1.0); let me insert your submitted icon to make it official

We can certainly make a double-release package with TIMP once it has all the features

(Not much missing. I reckon we're ~2 minor releases from calling them both complete )

Regarding the extra commands, let's allow them to exist; these are public programs so you never know who may be enjoying them up  BTW, I intend to make a few suggestions for your consideration once TIMP is done (e.g. right-click integration, start with windows).

New ShutdownB on the way!

Cheers.

-publicdomain (February 08, 2024, 07:58 PM)

I think right click integration would be absolutely wonderful! Maybe with an option to create a timp shortcut here would be a great solution this way no having to manually create the shortcuts, or maybe to automatically create the shortcut to the music folder of timp. So the timp folder would have this automatic setup upon clicking the exe without any extra commands....

do you wish to install timp to this folder?

(yes no)

(rest for yes)

create /timp command folder to put all of the timp command icons
create /timp musical folder to put all of the timp musical icons
Install the winshell integration..

do you wish to install Shutdown B to this folder?

(rest for yes)

copy shutdown B and any dependencies

(rest for any no option)

Show the license option and your webpage for updates....

 I really think this little timp program with the shutdown b if the size is under say 5 mb might be able to be submitted to a competition for the smallest yet most functional mp3 program on the market. I mean sure there are bigger and flashier mp3 programs, yet they are annoyingly complicated, flashy and well just plain ridiculous in resource usage. I believe many have forgotten the old days of worrying about a couple of megabytes of size as too many programs are an insane 30+ megs in size and are mostly for flash.

Anyway thank you so much for the work you have and continue to do with this little creation.

  There was one more function I forgot. I forgot to mention a repeat song function just in case you are listening to a song and happen to hear a song that you wish to hear over and over again... sure you could hit previous song but a loop song icon would be kinda better.

I hope the addition will not be a problem for you? I included an icon for you to use for the loop setup...

Sorry about the absentmindedness...

  Well I was able to set aside some time to the testing of Timp... and I'm not quite sure of a couple of things and I wanted to try to help to add an improvement maybe...

To shuffle or reshuffle the list, no shuffle command needed as you only have to click on the same directory loading icon to reshuffle the list.

Playpause works wonderfully so no real need for a separate pause function and exit works better than stop.

I was thinking about adding a little beep noise for some haptic feedback when timp receives a command, so I included the wave file in this upload.

I also made some custom Icons for Timp and Shutdown B so maybe there could be some kind of shortcut maker/after installer into the same directory the user wishes to unpack the files... this way it could not only be portable but easier to configure.

The record icon would be for music directories the user might like to make a timp shortcut for.

I'm sorry the icons are not very professional but well I think they kinda work?

I would appreciate any feedback you could offer?

  The menus look nice and the functionality of the popup looks great! Although the functionality of TIMP should not be underrated. Might the alarm command be a folder sector fed into TIMP if ShutdownB was in the same folder as TIMP? This way the two could be a tiny package deal and portable.

The only thought I could add to make TIMP a bit more complete is a selection of which song to play next by double clicking the song title on the list. Right now the song that is playing is highlighted and if you highlight another song it does nothing really. This way the song you wish to play could be selected but of course if we do not care which song plays next, then a random one will be played as you got it. Other than that, it looks and functions beautifully. 

The extra control icons could be made and activated from another launcher easily and they work great. 

This TIMP is truly turning into a tiny wonder.

This is amazing... and diabolical at the same time!     Yet I am almost scared of some kind of copyright infringement due to the icon they used.... Might we be able to change the icon in the tray and popup timer window? I mean shrinking a picture shouldn't be too much of a problem... Even a shrunk picture of Frankenstein might work...

I submit for your disapproval a humble request to the software developer "Shutdown 8" :

I absolutely love the little freeware app Shutdown8 as I use it every time I need to go to sleep and shut off the computer. The app is a wonderful way to create that perfect pause before you shut down the computer.

However instead of shutting down the computer, I was wondering if you could add an alarm feature instead of a shutdown option instead? By having the computer play m3u's or even a folder of music as an option.

It would turn it into an alarm clock as well and be even more valuable as a minimalistic app especially if you kept the same options to delay the alarm as you already accomplished for the shutdown process.

I really appreciate your work and I look forward to your reply about this issue. If you are unable to do this, or unwilling to tweak the app for this improvement, please let me know, and I wonder if I could have the permission  to give it to a coder who might be able to add this feature into this fine piece of freeware.

Thank you so much for your attention and response in advance.

Hello, this is Bandisoft.

Shutdown8 is an application developed for users of Windows 8 where there is no button for the Start menu on the desktop, and we have no current plan to offer further technical support for the app. We would like to ask you for your deepest understanding that we cannot give you a positive answer for anything you have suggested here.

Best regards,
Bandisoft

So, if the idea is possible we could revive and remake the shut down 8 app into the tiniest timer/alarm/timed shutdown program!

Upon activation of the program, a menu opens with the options to shutdown, restart, hibernate, or timer to shutdown...

in a cascading menu you have 10 minute shutdown, 30 minute shutdown, 1 hour shutdown or a 2 hour shutdown.

Then upon selecting the timed shutdown, a popup window with a counter tells you how long until shutdown... which is changeable with +- buttons next to the timer.

The developers forgot to make an alarm instead of the shutdown. This is where the TIMP core could be used.

So either TIMP could be bundled and put in the same folder as this alarm program or the alarm program could be separated with TIMP inside of it (most of the core programming). Thus being a small wake up timer.

Thus this could truly "AWAKEN THE DEAD" and after this little creation... (along with finishing the rest of TIMP) could earn you the title of Dr. Victor Frankenstein!

What do you think?

I hope we can wrap this up soon... as I have another devious idea for us, that we could do implementing this exact same project. (Actually you might wish to call my idea Frankenstein's Monster once you hear it).

  Nice 2.0! Maybe with the popup window title bar we can slip in some text icons for the functions too ⇨ go forward in the playlist, ⇦ go back, ⇅
play pause to avoid icon bulk but keep button functionality. The buttons could be in the title bar to condense the player, along with the command line commands...

This way other users could use it without a command line or with command lines with a tiny footprint.

What do you think as you seem to be Dr. Frankenstein bringing this idea to life?
