It also looks like the OP has ClearType on, which uses certain fonts and can cause a fuzzy look.  I do not like ClearType at all.

« Last post by skwire on May 20, 2014, 02:29 PM »

Just now seeing build 56 - this is a very nice update!  I especially like the Air time, Network, and Status additions.   I probably won't use Profiles but I can see that they would be valuable to others.
epCheck is a terrific little program and has become one of my essential apps (worth every penny of my small donation!)

-msteph (May 20, 2014, 11:59 AM)

Thank you for the kind words.  I really like the way epCheck has turned out and I'm glad you find it useful as well.  And, yes, I know I need to get of my arse and release this version.

Also want to agree with TaoPhoenix re interim fixes.  

-msteph (May 20, 2014, 12:02 PM)

That's pretty easy for Tao to say as he isn't the one that has to deal with emails from pissed off users that might have their show data f'd up.  It's really interesting how seriously some folks take (ridiculously unimportant in the whole scheme of things) stuff like this (tv shows, for chrissakes!).    You'd think I messed up their financial portfolio and cost them millions or something like that.  Hahahahaha.    Ask mouser about these types of things...we've discussed crap like this on more than one occasion.

Hi, swallis7, and welcome to DonationCoder.   

The only real problem I see is that it can't display market Index data.

-swallis7 (May 14, 2014, 11:51 PM)

I noticed this, too, and did some digging.  It appears, due some licensing crap, that Yahoo is not allowed to provide downloadable data for the Dow Jones Index symbol.

Sorry but I didn't get the différence is this box enable or not ?

-kiui (May 13, 2014, 02:04 PM)

File Punter can use normal DOS-style wildcards or it can use regular expressions.  The problem is that both methods make use of such characters as * or ? but in different ways.  Hence, the checkbox to set which method to use.

can i put someting to not have to create a rule for each file "suffix" name.?

-kiui (May 13, 2014, 02:04 PM)

You sure can.  Try this as your match rule:  

(.*?)_.*

And if I can ask one more thing, what's the difference between (.*?) and (\d+) or (.+?) ?

-kiui (May 13, 2014, 02:04 PM)

-kiui (May 13, 2014, 02:04 PM)

Based on that, it looks like you have not set that rule as a RegEx rule.  Double-click the rule and enable the "Pattern is a regular expression" checkbox.  Test it again and let me know if that makes it work how you want.

So, being able to handle URLs would be frosting on top.  Not totally crucial, as it appears there's more to it than one might think.

-nkormanik (May 09, 2014, 12:15 AM)

I've been playing with the .URL handling this morning and it's a pain in the ass.  Stuff that works on W7 shits the bed on XP.  Frustrating.  What I think I might do is take out the .URL support and write you another script that will let you do the .URL stuff within your own browser.  It won't be nearly as elegant (pretty kludgy, actually) but I think it be much better functionally.  Are you cool with that?

Finished Programs / Re: DONE: Batch m3u8 creator - similar to createm3u

« Last post by skwire on May 06, 2014, 01:53 PM »

How about the following playlist options:

1) recursive scan all sub-folders and create a playlist in each folder
2) recursive scan all sub-folders and create 1 playlist on root folder dragged in including all files scanned

-vital (May 05, 2014, 10:23 PM)

The first option is what the application already does.  I'll consider the second option.

I noticed that moving the playlist from its original folder to another folder breaks the connection with the media files ... is that a design fault with the .m3u file format or is there some way to have the playlist record the actual path to the media so that moving the playlist does not break it?  Maybe there's a different playlist format that does note the media's path?

-Xennon (May 06, 2014, 02:57 AM)

It's not a design fault.  It's simply a generic filepath issue.  Basically, there are three ways to handle a file's path:

1) No path at all, just the filename.  Most applications then prepend the playlist's path to derive the actual location of the file.  Using this method allows you to move the folder of files anywhere and the playlist will still work.  However, as you've found, moving the playlist file breaks the pathing.

2) Relative paths.  That is, only the path relative to the playlist's location is saved.  Let's assume you have the following file:

c:\path\to\my\music\song.mp3

If you wanted to save the playlist file in:

c:\path\to

The relative path that would be saved in the playlist file would be:

my\music\song.mp3

As with the first option, an application will generally prepend the playlist's path to the exisiting relative path in order to derive the file locations.  This method allows you to move multi-level folders and have the playlist(s) still work.

3) Full paths.  That is, something like c:\path\to\my\music\song.mp3 would be saved to the playlist file.  This allows you to move the playlist files to wherever you'd like.  However, you now cannot move the files themselves without breaking the playlist.  For instance, let's assume you had need to move your collection from c:\ drive to d:\ drive.  With full paths, all your playlist files are now broken.

I hope that helps to explain things.  As you can see, there is no perfect solution.

• No frills.
• Drag and drop htm/html/xml files (or folders) onto the listview and view away.

• Nothing is saved.

-nickodemos (April 28, 2014, 02:14 PM)

This is a long-standing issue I've tried to solve over the years.  It has to do with all the extra listview libraries I use in AutoHotkey.  I've never been fully able to track it down.

Trying to track down a reason why the program sometimes "whites" out all information. All text is just gone even though nothing has changed. I just delete the config file and all is right again.

-nickodemos (April 28, 2014, 02:14 PM)

The information is actually still there.  If you can minimize and restore the window, it should repaint itself and be fine.

Those all worked for me.  However, this setting might need a little explanation.  It only works on series when they are added (and that option is enabled).  That is, it doesn't go back and change up the list after the fact.  Perhaps this is what you're experiencing?
