I seem to get error messages no matter what I do

Ok, sorry that it isn't working. That error message points to the a step in the code that uses COM to loop over all open File Explorer windows. It seems to find a File Explorer window but crash when that window's handle is accessed. I don't know what is causing that error though, I'm not able to reproduce it on any PC I have tried. It is also a pretty commonly used method in AutoHotkey scripts and I haven't found similar errors reported in the AHK forums. Guessing: maybe related to Win 10 security permissions settings or a conflict with some other app or script that is running on your computer but not on mine. If you have another Win 10 computer at hand you could try it there, to help narrow down the issue.

Hi tomos, thanks for testing.

1) (minor) it doesnt recognise that the Download folder has been moved from it's default location (the new location is recognised correctly by File Explorer and Vivaldi). I edited the ini file to point to correct folder, so no real problem here

Yes, that's a design choice, to keep the code simple.

2) When I press F7, the name of the file to be moved shows as a tool tip type message (near the mouse pointer) but nothing is moved. If I click on the message I get this error:

After pressing F7 the user accepts the move with Enter, Space or Left Click. (To cancel Esc, F7 again or wait and it times out.) I documented that on GitHub, will add that to the first post here too.

The error you describe is a bug but I haven't found a way to reproduce it yet. It could be an issue with file permissions or Windows 10 security (partially) blocking the exe, hard to say.

If you have time to test more:
  • Change the source folder location in the .ini again, to something other than the browser's download folder. Does moving files from that folder work?
  • Try running the .ahk source file directly instead of the .exe (assuming you have AutoHotkey installed). Does that work?

So it worked quite well, with negligible perceived lag!

Great, thanks for the details.

I used USB Camera Pro - Connect EasyCap or USB WebCam

Good find. Though this is such a neat way to reuse old devices that I wish Google adds its own USB webcam functionality for it to Android. Also wishing Raspberry Pi OS came with some send-HDMI-over-USB functionality to make the converter hardware redundant.

Great job mouser - video, audio, the conversations!  :Thmbsup: Co-op games is a good niche to cover. I see that your videos already appear on some game pages on Board Game Geek,e.g. https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/313008/apollo-game-inspired-nasa-moon-missions/videos/all , which I think is a good way for people to find you. What's the process for getting listed there - do you add each manually there or does BGG find and add them automatically?

I ordered the capture card and the converter cable, and they should be here on Sunday.  I'll try it and see how that goes before looking into any other options.

Keen to hear how well it works. Including which Android app to use - there are a few in the in Google Play and some appear to show ads.
