Just updated to 1.0.0.3

-joiwind (February 19, 2019, 11:30 AM)

This error should have been fixed in v1.0.2.  Have you tried that version?

« on: February 17, 2019, 07:22 PM »

@berkland: Both of those text files you attached are HTML files, not URL files.  A URL file is just a renamed INI file and the contents of one looks something like this:

[Select]

[InternetShortcut]
IconFile=C:\Users\skwire\AppData\Local\Xmarks\favicons\2h5x8-m8tUI.ico
IconIndex=0
URL=http://en-us.www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/about/

To view a URL file, you should be able to just drag and drop the URL file onto a text editor like Notepad.

Everything looks good and working fine now on W7 W8.1 and W10. Thanks for the fixes and thanks for adding the icon selection option. I appreciate that.

@click-click: Good to hear and thanks for the report.

Forgot to post this notice a few days ago:

Website & Download
v1.8.1 - 2019-02-11
    * Tray icon options have changed.  You can now display either or both icons.
    ! On a delayed startup, tray icon was showing blank instead of the N/A icon. (Thanks, T. Elliot)
    * Added a small delay when updating location time.

Nothing changed.  What now?

-berkland (February 12, 2019, 09:29 AM)

Open up one of those URL files with a text editor and see if an "IconFile=<some path here>" line is there.  If so, this might be a refresh issue with Windows Explorer.

N.A.N.Y. 2019 / Re: NANY 2019 Release: SCURLed

« on: February 10, 2019, 09:48 PM »

1.) SCURLed should have a function to open the base directory of InternetExplorer Favorites resp. Firefox/Chrome Bookmarks and read them all automatically (full dir tree).

-pstein (January 07, 2019, 04:10 AM)

I'll think about this for Internet Explorer favourites.  Firefox and Chrome, however, do not use URL files for their bookmarks.

2.) SCURLed should have function to find all .LNK files starting from a base directory (e.g. partition D:\) and load them automatically.

-pstein (January 07, 2019, 04:10 AM)

I will add this in a future release.

Is it by design that the filename of .url files cannot be edited (that editbox is grayed out when I run the program)?

-Nod5 (January 10, 2019, 07:04 AM)

I left this out for now until I get some feedback on the LNK/URL data handling.  I will add the ability to change the name in a future release.

I selected 68 URL files in my TEST folder using File | Open URL Files, but the SCURLed.exe window would not re-open with the selcted files.

-berkland (February 10, 2019, 02:37 PM)

Do they load if you select them in Windows Explorer and then drag-n-drop them onto the URL list in SCURLed?

« on: February 09, 2019, 04:36 PM »

I'm pretty positive that "ts" value is a Unix timestamp.  Here's an AutoHotkey example showing how to convert it:

Code: Autohotkey [Select]

1. myTimestamp := "636850944"
2. sFormatString := "dddd, MMMM d, yyyy @ H:mm"
3. FormatTime, myFormattedTime, % timeUnix2Human( myTimestamp ), % sFormatString
4.  
5. MsgBox, % myFormattedTime
6.  
7. timeUnix2Human( unixTimestamp )
8. {
9.     returnDate = 19700101000000
10.     returnDate += unixTimestamp, s
11.     Return returnDate
12. }

This snippet returns a value of: Wednesday, March 7, 1990 @ 23:02

The year seems a bit off, but does that sound about right, @itge13?

-berkland (January 29, 2019, 09:39 PM)

Are you certain you're on the URL tab?  LNK files get loaded to the LNK tab; URL files get loaded to the URL tab.

Skwire Empire / Re: Release: sWeather (tray-based weather app)

« on: February 06, 2019, 12:44 PM »

Here's an interim build of sWeather which gives the user control over which of the tray icons are shown.  You can choose either or both.  However, I had to use the older Tray() library I talked about previously, so I'm limited in how much I can display in the tray icon tooltip.  In other words, I have to use the shorter format of the two tooltips you would see in the older version.  C'est la vie.  If you'd like to try it out, download this:

http://www.dcmembers...Weather_v1.8.0.2.zip

If you do try it out, please let me know if it works properly for you.

Hello, itge13, and welcome to the DonationCoder site.   

Is there a way to switch Taskbar Button Grouping with a hotkey between "combine" and "not combine" w/o restarting explorer? Preferebaly as AHK

-itge13 (February 06, 2019, 11:51 AM)

Here's some AHK code to do what you want.  I've successfully tested this on Windows 7 so please let us know if it works on your Windows 10 machine.

Code: Autohotkey [Select]

1. #k:: ; Win+K -- change as necessary
2. {
3.     ; 0 = Always combine, hide labels
4.     ; 1 = Combine when taskbar is full
5.     ; 2 = Never combine
6.     RegWrite, REG_DWORD, HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced, TaskbarGlomLevel, % ( ( Toggle ) ? ( "0" ) : ( "2" ) )  
7.     SendMessage, 0x1A, , , ,  % "ahk_class Shell_TrayWnd" ; WM_SETTINGCHANGE := 0x1A
8.     WinSet, Redraw, , % "ahk_class Shell_TrayWnd"
9.     Toggle := !Toggle
10. }
11. Return

Seems to only happen on W10. I don't see this happening on Win7. Will check W8.1 in a minute.
Win8.1 also shows this symptom.

-click-click (February 01, 2019, 10:21 AM)

I use and develop on a Windows 7 box, so it worked for me.  I'll see if I can get access to a Windows 10 machine to test.

This should fix it.  The TimezoneDB API should only get queried when the main window is activated/focused.  Thank you for reporting this bug.

Why is Sweather now connecting out so often?

-click-click (January 31, 2019, 04:28 PM)

Those aren't weather data requests; they're requests to timezonedb.com which is used for the "location time in time in the titlebar" option.  I added a fix in v1.7.8 because that text wasn't always showing properly in the titlebar.  To fix it, I now request the location time any time the sWeather window is activated.  That is, sWeather does not keep an internal clock of its own.  I didn't think this would be much of an issue since the amount of data is only around 250 bytes per request.  In your screenshot above, were you focusing the sWeather window repeatedly?  If not, there's a problem, and I can look into fixing it.  Here's an example of data that's returned:

[Select]

<result>
<status>OK</status>
<message/>
<countryCode>US</countryCode>
<zoneName>America/Chicago</zoneName>
<abbreviation>CST</abbreviation>
<gmtOffset>-21600</gmtOffset>
<dst>0</dst>
<timestamp>1548952639</timestamp>
</result>

That's it.  I suppose I could add a check that makes it not requery for time data unless a certain amount of time has passed but the drawback would be that the time would not be accurate.  Is 250 bytes of data per hit too much?  Are you constantly focusing the sWeather window during the day?

Is there a need to actually display both A and B lists in a listview?  The reason I ask is that loading 100000+ lines, without some tricks, can take a while.

-Mboxer511 (January 30, 2019, 10:04 PM)

Good to hear and thanks for the report.

On tip I wanted to mention is if anyone is updating the software, if you save the files "config.ini" and "locations.lst" then all your settings will carry over to the new update. So just make a back up of those files, then use them to overwrite the new ones when you install an updated version.

-Mboxer511 (January 30, 2019, 10:04 PM)

Thanks for the tip, though there shouldn't be any need to back up those files beforehand.  The zip file download doesn't contain a config.ini nor a locations.lst, so you can simply unpack the zip file to your sWeather install folder.  Now, that said, one should always have backups.

-selesn777 (January 30, 2019, 04:22 AM)

From the main sWeather window, choose Options > Configure from the menu.  In the Options window, enable the "Use metric units" option and, optionally, enable the "Add 'C' or 'F' to temperatures" option.
