Vic,
Thats great. I have been thinking about this.  I can share the thoughts in the thread as soon as I see it.  I am  assuming you want to create it.

-sphere (April 17, 2022, 11:37 AM)

Feel free to express at ease! Thread @ RandomFilesApp - Play random files from a folder at random times.

We have some code to reuse from the sounds app --and what we don't have we create

« on: April 16, 2022, 05:06 PM »

Program GUI is done:



Thinking about the use case of green & red light detection. May need to have an option to skip every other detection.

1. First (base) = green.
2. Second (change) = red. Triggers action.
3. Third. Base again = green.
4. Fourth  (change) = red. Triggers action.

Option can be called "Skip odds". This alpha is the next release

Don't worry.

-Contro (April 15, 2022, 04:57 AM)

Hello & thanks! I'm doing, which is a better option!

Here's the result of the new AHK wrapper program:

Direct download: INIalaContro_v0-2-0.zip

GitHub release: https://github.com/p.../releases/tag/v0.2.0


Instructions:

Download AutoHotkey from https://www.autohotkey.com/download/ (AutoHotkey_1.1.33.10.zip)

Unzip.

Save the AHK script as "lnk.ahk".



Open the program, then click on Settings/Configure lnk parser.



Configure executable and script:



Executable: AutoHotkeyU32.exe / AutoHotkeyU64.exe

Script file: lnk.ahk

Hit OK

Now use the main program window to browse to the directory where you want to generate the Launcher.ini file.

That's it. Enjoy!

Hi! Thanks for the "ping" There's only an incomplete ALPHA on my computer working as a GUI for youtube-dl.

Right now the PD project is a side project. I'm pledging a first release with only youtube-dl support to get things running (it has support for plenty of sites in the library).

Once we "fix" the funding part, I'm willing to devote full-time work hours to helping the fellows with my skills

We're getting there thanks to each new Patron coming on board! ...Our PD project for the win!

I really like this application.  Very cool!

I am curious how difficult it would be to make this so that it could open other types of files (video, audio, documents) or even from a list of links. I am using this as a reminder to stretch and exercise during the day.  The sound triggers me to refer to a list of stretches/exercises I have as various different files on my PC.   It would be nice for the file to be pulled up from a list of different exercises or stretches I have videos, jpegs of the exercises/stretches I am suppose to do.

Even better if I could track which stretches I have done in a spreadsheet, though that seems like a different program all together.  This is a great help, just wondering how easy it would be to tweak to my use case.     

-sphere (April 13, 2022, 02:55 PM)

Glad you're liking it! 

How about creating that new app to fit your brainstormed requirements?

Most importantly: would you like a specific app for exercises or a generic "run random files" program (with spreadsheet reporting). I'm fine with any one you choose since it's basically the same app


P.S: This Random Sounds app does have an update due albeit not related to expanding it to other file types. i can reasonably code some more apps before next newsletter from our PD project.

-publicdomain (April 11, 2022, 04:01 PM)

Okay! I'm currently modifying the program to use Autohotkey as the .lnk library while avoiding GPL issues.

Let's try again to get this from 99% to 100% to finish the job & call it a completed release

P.S. I'm aware of AHK's FileGetShortcut.

It is possible to use AHK as a link library of sorts yet due to licensing issues I usually avoid the GPL license covering AHK. I prefer MIT or other more-permissive license, given I release code with CC0 Universal myself...

In all honesty, a traditional AHK script serves Contro better in terms of simplicity

Hello! Just wanted to mention the reason this is unsolved is simple: I don't have Visual Studio on my Linux development computer. This is one of the edge cases where no library did the job.

Sorry to Contro (We tried to make things work using VS on his Machine via PM). The program is 99%, only need a developer to follow the instructions on:

https://stackoverflo...t-of-shortcut-folder

Sincere apologies! I don't know when I am going to have a Windows 10 development computer again... for the time being, I am doing as much as I can to be helpful to the DC community with my Linux / Windows 7 setup.

Thanks!

Pledged @ https://github.com/p...blicdomain/omdbfetch

IMDBfetch actually has a good async "skeleton"/foundation to be back-ported to BGGfetch and now OMDbFetch

Given the nature of the app & requirements, we'll tackle three modes on the program:

* Whole desktop coordinates.
* Single-window coordinates.
* Webcam feed capture.

First ALPHA version comes with whole desktop processing

Indeed. The app is shaping & registered @ Spotify developer:



Found a promising API endpoint for liked songs: /v1/me/tracks

Now I must add your Spotify account manually. While it's on development mode, addition is reversed. i.e. instead of the user adding the app, the developer adds the users.

API examples are mostly Node-based (javascript), so perhaps this ends-up being a web app for you to host. The following days are key to determine things out. Best thing: your requirement is doable and it's being done

Hi there! Trying to get you first alpha in the next following days

I'm doing things "by the book" first (Spotify developer account, traditional web API library).

Update(s) to follow

GingerTG ALPHA 2022-04-06 is here:

▶ Direct download: GingerTG_v0-1-ALPHA20220406-0.zip

🏷 GitHub tag: https://github.com/p...v0.1-ALPHA20220406.0

I was just thinking plain text.

-c.gingerich (April 06, 2022, 09:57 AM)

Great! Text is simply wrapped in a "p" element.


Do notice this is aiming to be a Telegra.ph API client + account manager.

If you just want an API client, we can keep it lean (i.e. no Database, just plain ol' manual argument passing).


Some examples.

Create account:

GingerTG.exe -a createAccount -s "GingerTG short name"

Create page:

GingerTG.exe -a createPage -k b968da509bb76866c35425099bc0989a5ec3b32997d55286c657e6994bbb -t "Page by GingerTG" -n "GingerTG.exe" -c "This is some sample content." -r true

Edit page:

GingerTG.exe -a editPage -k b968da509bb76866c35425099bc0989a5ec3b32997d55286c657e6994bbb -p Page-by-GingerTG-04-07 -t "Edited title" -n "New Ginger" -c "NEW & improved content here." -r true


It returns info on success:



This is the first ALPHA hence it's in a very malleable stage.

Please inform on what's your goal with the program; we can surely get you there!
