Post New Requests Here / Re: Create Song Playlist
« Last post by publicdomain on May 17, 2023, 05:28 AM »
An alternative idea would be to copy the songs to another folder.

Any thoughts or ideas greatly appreciated.
-nkormanik (May 17, 2023, 02:46 AM)

Hi Nick,

No need to copy files, I know how to do it. I've worked with both .m3u/m3u8 and file search.

If nobody comes-up with something as I finish your previous program, I'm totally in for "nkPlaylist" :)

(I am actively devoted to the coding spree!)

Thanks,
Vic

Really, any way you accomplish the overall objective will be terrific.
-nkormanik (May 11, 2023, 01:02 AM)

The program is shaped :up:

(Also making a handy .ini editor GUI to accompany nkDot)

Stay tuned!

Hello again Nick, please go with the shutdown command in your UEFI system.

The tool I have in mind is inspired by your request yet isn't the same (just edited it up).

(Going to list you as the inspiration for the resulting "DriveUp" program BTW :Thmbsup:)

If user adjusts size of window, what happens to the dots?
-nkormanik (May 05, 2023, 02:42 AM)

The way I'm coding it... the dots are painted the same no matter the window size.

If you need the program to operate full-screen in order to rid yourself of such ambiguities, please say it!

This stage of development is the perfect time :)

There's graphics code available for overlaying on top of all windows cleanly (i.e. border-less transparent/invisible window surface covering the desktop).

Hello dear DC fellows, hope all is going well for you & yours. This is my focused service:

DC coding spree

I am currently doing a dedicated DC coding spree to attend programs in the coding snacks section(s), so the output of my service is to deliver as many user-requested releases as I can during this time for DonationCoder.com & DCmembers.com in order to boost the community.

If there was ever a moment to support, it is this; if you planned to support once a year, the most significant time is now :Thmbsup: It will have the most positive impact   :-*

I'm home & working devotedly on DC programs... you can be part of this by powering the community-coding by means of your direct support by Paypal:

Paypal @ www.paypal.com/paypalme/victorvls
✉ Paypal email: [email protected]

or by means of your donation credits if you have some "cody's" you'd like to spare toward supporting the releases:

Support with your DonationCredits!

This makes a big difference to assist/enable me in helping more fellows in the DC community by shaping & bringing these software requests to life

Thank you for keeping the donation coding alive!
 
From a most-grateful,
Vic

Vic, searching the web turned up the following:

-nkormanik (May 08, 2023, 01:02 AM)

Hi Nick! That's for the web yet it can be useful as an existing example :up:

Have you experience in graphics programming?
-nkormanik (May 08, 2023, 01:02 AM)

Yes I do :)

As a matter of fact there's a graphics app in our PD project's repos @ https://github.com/publicdomain/screenmark

Hope this won't be something that keeps you away from what you prefer.
-nkormanik (May 08, 2023, 01:02 AM)

Helping the fellows with my skills is what I prefer! :Thmbsup: :-*

Look forward to seeing what you come up with.

Hello & good day Steven! Since you want fellow guests to also provide info when downloading, how about having a simple off-forum download page featuring some form fields plus "Submit & download" button?

The hosted page remains within your site's domain and the file is delivered from your Linode server via php script (with a redirection to prevent direct linking).

I can engage in such a straightforward off-forum hosted script if you wish :)

It will be open sourced at GitHub for utmost transparency  :up:
