I'm now on vacations, i'll look into it asap.That sound we now hear in the background is the chirping of crickets far, far away.-jgpaiva (August 05, 2006, 05:06 AM)
It is strange that it is so slow as one of the things they point out in the demo video is how quick and responsive it is. I don't really uinderstand why it appears so slowThey did post in a couple places that ...it is important to note that: ... * We have not reached our performance goals on Windows and continue to work on improving speed in all aspects of the application.-Carol Haynes (July 20, 2006, 02:01 PM)
Having it displaying something informing you about stome stuff shouldn't be a problem, i just can't do it right now (exams... bah!).No problem -- I understand completely.-jgpaiva (July 13, 2006, 03:14 AM)
As for what you refered in your latest post, it wouldn't happen if you had it set to "Loop, %Directory%\*, 0, 0".Aha! Thanks -- I misunderstood when to use that instruction.
Dir AFile C gets moved properly to Dir B...
Dir B
Dir C
File C
Dir A...but then since Dir C is empty, file C should end up in Dir A. Does that add a lot of complexity?
Dir B
File C
Dir C
oops... typo. you should set it toGot it. Thanks!-jgpaiva (July 12, 2006, 06:28 PM)
and i also noticed that it might not move one file it should. see the following tree:I rearranged your tree to simplify what I understand you to be describing -- lemme know if I goofed somewhere.
Directory one
Directory two
file one
Directory three
file two
In this tree, file two is the only file on directory three, so, it's moved to directory two. but then, there are 2 files at directory two, which means they won't be moved to directory one, when they should be since originally there was only one file in each directory.Hmm -- that actually would be counterproductive, at least for my concept. I look at it this way: putting a file in a dir adds organization to the file and whatever group it's a part of. Subdirs add more, but if those subdirs only have an orphan, it makes sense to move 'em to the parent. If there was already a file in the parent, then it must be related to the subdir file and it's fine that they're together. (Maybe others would do something different, but I think it makes perfect sense.) I think it's a first-rate script, especially for the first public version!
As for messages not displaying, might be because there's yet another typo.Typo has been squashed -- thanks. If you have time (or if not, maybe someone else does?) I'd love to work with someone to build a GUI on this puppy. I tend to be a very visual person, and I'll have an easier time using it that way.
As this isn't a big solution, i didn't make a complete script out of it.Thanks! Credits on the way -- it seems to work with some test files/dirs I made. I noticed a comment line saying-jgpaiva (July 11, 2006, 01:51 PM)
(i hope you have autohotkey installed.)Cool! No, no autohotkey yet, but that's easily fixable. I'll give it a shot!-jgpaiva (July 11, 2006, 01:51 PM)
It has no keypad, for instance.Hmm. Sounds like a Marketing idea -- it's definitely not from people that already use a computer with any regularity. Who would even consider using Excel without a numpad?-zridling (July 06, 2006, 01:30 AM)
Like Microsoft's latest keyboards (including the silly one planned for Vista), the new 2007 UI emphasizes the mouse over the keyboard.Eh? How does a keyboard emphasize the mouse?-zridling (July 05, 2006, 12:25 AM)
I know a lot of people say they wont upgrade because the price is too high, but I am just curious how many have paid for their CURRENT version?Do you mean whatever version we're using (I'm at Office 2k) or whatever version is current? I paid for 2k as an upgrade to '97, and it's been good to me. The newest Office "User Interface" is a real improvement, though, from what I've seen so far. It's designed based on some serious research into the way people use the program and the types of things people have trouble finding in the standard UI. That plus the age of Office 2k combine to make it worth it to me to upgrade if the price is reasonable.-Josh (June 30, 2006, 02:42 PM)
My biggest problem now is finding a way to quantize the music in such a way that it comes out looking like music, and also to sync the midi time code between apps.How does it come out now? Does the timing vary in such a way that it's unrecognizeable compared to the original, or does it just require editing afterward?-Carol Haynes (June 25, 2006, 05:50 AM)
It's the only program I could find that can fully synchronize in either direction with the Outlook calendar (with an extra add on package).Rainlendar is worth a look, then, at least for fun since you bought something already -- it has a free Outlook plugin.-jdd (June 16, 2006, 01:14 PM)
