Post New Requests Here / Re: IDEA: Desktop progress meter
« Last post by skwire on September 18, 2014, 03:27 PM »
Didn't see this version on the download page a week or two back. Will give it a go.   :)

It wasn't there.  I reworked the code and uploaded the new build right before my last post.

Please give this interim build a try: http://skwire.dcmembers.com/apps/barbecue/Barbecue_v1.1.7.zip

I didn't make any procedural changes but I did update a lot of structural stuff.  Make a backup of your current Barbecue folder and try this for a couple of days.  Let me know how it goes, please.

v1.1.5 - 2014-09-18
    * The episode and weekly lists should now use the Window's scheme
      colour for the non-coloured rows (instead of a being explicitly set
      to black).  This should be helpful for folks that use a darker
      Windows colour scheme.  (Thanks, dim)

I hope skwire won't mind me mentioning my program which is somewhat similar, Progress Bars of Life: https://www.donation...user/pbol/index.html

Shameless!   :P  Hahahahaha...the more, the merrier.   :D

The meter data is kept in the meters.xml file which should be written in the same folder as Barbecue.exe.  As for the crashing issue, Barbecue isn't an app I use personally so how long does it, typically, take for it to crash?  Also, I don't have Windows 8, only Windows 7.

What do you guys think?   Should I start a kickstarter?  Or am I only designing for myself?

I swear I read an article that this is how the new Apple watch will work, i.e., you would need an iPhone to get the full (or any) use out of it.

Another review,

&
http://www.appinn.co...sigcheckgui-for-win/

Thanks for the heads up.  Looks like SigcheckGUI is starting to make some rounds around the internet.
1236
Love the program, but it ALWAYS crashes after a few days at most, while taking up 50% of CPU. Every time it crashes, it loses all the meters. Everything. This on Windows 8. If I can back up the meter file, I can maybe get around this--though of course it would be best not to use that CPU and crash! Thanks for any help...

Hi, jaymar, and welcome to the DonationCoder forum.  I'm sorry you're having issues with Barbecue.  Do you mind if I merge this topic with the main Barbecue thread that Stephen referenced?  We can continue our discussion there.

Downloaded, installed, and looking good so far!

Thanks, Jim.  I may have fixed that resizing bug from earlier, too.  Can you give it a thrashing and see if you can make that issue happen?

Cool!  Thanks.

You are very welcome.

"Product" & "Copyright" columns, for example. Please check attachment.

This looks to be an issue with sigcheck.exe itself not being able to handle those characters.  Run a "sigcheck -a c:\windows\explorer.exe" and you'll see what I mean.

As per your other thread's post here asking how to get the adapter names, you can use the following commands:

netsh interface show interface
netsh interface show ip interface

Example output:

Sometimes the window gets unresponsive while handling a lot of files. That's why I suggested priority similarly to how archive managers handle things. I'm not sure if it's possible.

Unfortunately, that unresponsiveness has nothing to do with the process priority.  It has to do with the fact that the UI is waiting for the commandline sigcheck.exe to finish.  There are a few different methods I can use for this so it might be something I can alleviate.

Also, it would be very interesting to see a cache system that might speed up the process since some files might have been (already) processed.

Doubtful that I'd add this.

Perhaps there should be another action in "View" tab that gives end-users the ability to show only unique files (not duplicates).

I can add an option like "Skip duplicates in list" or something like that.  If this is enabled, files that already exist in the list will be skipped.  I'd think the full path would have to match exactly for this to be useful, though.

Another issue that I've observed is that it does not handle special characters well. Probably a display issue.

The app does seem to handle Unicode paths and Unicode filenames without issue so I'll assume you're talking about the actual displayed data.  If so, can you provide me an example of what you're seeing?

And another suggestion would be to rename "Trusted list" to "Trusted Vendors" as this might avoid possible confusion & make the box re-sizable.

Can do.

Also, the clean action will not do anything if files are being processed. I'm guessing this option could be grayed out or/and inform the user that it is not possible, maybe.

Can do.

Under "Help" tab > "Contents", users would expect a help file and not a pop-up that describes SigcheckGUI since there is an "About" button. Superseded.

Ah, help files.  The bane of developers everywhere.   :)  I'm terrible at providing them.   :-[  That said, I do try to write my applications such that, hopefully, a help file shouldn't be needed for the most part.

Another suggestion that might be useful regarding quick access would be to add another action in the right-click menu named, for example, "Open File Location".

Can do.

Maybe, the "Info Box" action from right-click menu should be grayed out for multiple files.

Good point.

SigcheckGUI or SigCheckGUI -- Is it intended?

I've seen both.  However, the official site for the sigcheck.exe program that does the grunt work has it spelled Sigcheck so that's what I went with.

« Last post by skwire on September 14, 2014, 05:35 AM »
Thanks to everybody that dared use the betas and provided feedback.  I've decided to go ahead and release my internal build 73 as a full release.  As before, do yourself a favour and make a backup of your epCheck folder.

MAKE A BACKUP...PLEASE...

Website | Download
v1.1.4 - 2014-09-14
    + Added a "Profiles" option that allows you to create multiple lists of
      series.  For example, you could create a Watched list, a Cancelled
      list, an Ended list, etc.  Check out the Options tab to create new
      profiles.  The profiles feature is currently a BETA feature and needs
      some testing.  As such, there is a good possibility that it might not
      work as designed and your epCheck data might be lost or otherwise
      munged.  Make backups.
    + Added an "<All Profiles>" entry to the Profiles dropdown to easily
      view all series from all profiles.
    + Currently selected profile is shown in the statusbar.
    + Added "Move to" and "Copy to" profile options when right-clicking a
      series.
    + Added the series air time (EST) and network to the both the series
      and weekly listviews.  (Thanks, Daniel P.)
    + Added status column to listviews.
    + Added icons to tab labels.
    + Added right-click search menu to the Search tab so you can now more
      easily find web information on the search results.  (Thanks,
      kalvanotherwhen)
    + Option to allow ESC key to close epCheck.
    + Added Profile column to the Series list.
    * Changed "Load weekly view on startup" option to "Load weekly data on
      startup" to avoid confusion with the startup tab option.
      (Thanks, hamradio)
    * Moved the "Show special episodes" option from the Options tab to a
      toolbar button.
    ! Fixed some issues with the right-click web search menu.
    ! Episode display format was not saved and applied properly.  (Thanks,
      kalvanotherwhen)
    ! Removing a profile wouldn't properly remove data folders for series
      that didn't exist on remaining profiles.  (Thanks, vamiz)
    ! Fixed a nasty HTML encode/decode issue that could result in epCheck
      getting stuck in a race condition.  (Thanks, S. Mainey)
1245
Good stuff. Although the help still says it's a front end for tiffinfo. :-)

Thanks!  I uploaded a silent build that should fix that help issue.

v1.0.7 - 2014-09-13
    + Pressing the Escape key while a scan is going now cancels the scan.
1247
Nice tool. Thank you!

Thank you. I will spread the word about this amazing piece of software.

Thank you, Mattes57 & neverlight.  I'm glad you like the software.

You should add a stop/pause/resume feature & process priority (foreground,background) feature.

"Cancelling a scan" feature is forthcoming.  Regarding the process priority request, what do you expect to gain from such (honest question)?
1248
Apologies for that.   :-[

v1.0.6 - 2014-09-11
    ! Re-enabled VirusTotal functionality.  SigcheckGUI now checks for the
      acceptance of the Sigcheck EULA and the VirusTotal ToS and will prompt
      the user for acceptance if necessary.

v1.0.5 - 2014-09-11
    ! Disabled the VirusTotal functionality until some kinks are worked out.
1249
Yeah, disabled that in a new build until I work out those kinks.  I know WHAT the issue is...just need to come up with a way to handle it elegantly.

v1.0.4 - 2014-09-10
    + Added option to query VirusTotal (www.virustotal.com) for malware based on
      file hash.  Note that this slows down scanning considerably.  You can see the
      results in two new columns: Virus Total Detection and Virus Total URL.
    + Added context menu entry to go to the Virus Total URLs.
    + Added context menu entries to perform web searches based on the process name.
      Choose from Google, Bing, and Duck Duck Go.
    + Added "Export file list" feature to dump the full paths to a text file for
      later import using the "Import file list" feature.
