N.A.N.Y. 2014 / Re: NANY 2014 Release - epCheck
« Last post by skwire on January 26, 2014, 10:01 AM »
One request though. Possible to have in the options the ability to download only one image file? I, and others might be as well, am pretty simple when it comes to the image. I am fine with what ever one downloads, just that I went through and deleted all but one image per folder and it reduced the data folder by 90 percent.
-nickodemos (January 25, 2014, 11:25 AM)

I added your request in the latest interim build: http://skwire.dcmemb...pCheck_v1.1.0.22.zip

Also, I'm thinking I should have used a separate INI file for the watched data.  Possibly a "watched.ini" file saved in the data folder.  What do you all think?

I've added the watched/unwatched tracking to epCheck but, before releasing it on my website, I'd like to get a bit of beta testing done. The current download is here:

http://skwire.dcmemb...pCheck_v1.1.0.21.zip

I would highly recommend making a copy of your current epCheck folder and then dumping this new build into the new folder.  That way, you won't mess up your current epCheck install.  Some thoughts:

  • The watched/unwatched feature is as simple as it gets.  Enable the checkbox a row for watched, clear the checkbox for unwatched. I will not be adding colour, blinky lights, etc.
  • You can highlight multiple rows in the episode list and use the right-click menu to set that selection as watched/watched.
  • You can right-click the series name in the Series list and choose to mark the whole series as watched/unwatched.
  • The watched/unwatched state of episodes is saved in the config.ini so, if you delete a series and add it back, your watched/unwatched states should still be there.
  • You can mark episodes in both the Series and Weekly tabs and they should stay synched. Note that I say should...  Can you say, "Beta?"

Anyway...download it, give it a thrashing, and report any bugs you find.  Again, this is a beta, so please don't be upset if, for whatever reason, it loses track of your carefully crafted watched/unwatched states.  Because of the two listviews in play, this turned out to be a bigger pain in the ass that I initially envisioned so I apologise in advance.   :)  Please see below for other additions/fixes:

Website | Download
v1.1.1 - 2014-00-00
    + Added a simple tracking ability to epCheck.  You can now set the
      watched/unwatched state using the checkboxes for each episode.
    + Added a "Show special episodes" option to control whether or not a
      series' special episodes are listed.  (Thanks, lanux128)
    ! Worked around an issue where the episode list would sometimes be
      loaded twice.

AFAIK, AutoIt was created from the AHK codebase, because some people found the AHK 'language' was too unreadable in their opinion...

Actually, it was the other way around; AHK was created from AutoIt.

Hi, ramothgold, and welcome to the DonationCoder site.   :D

I must say a truly excellent application.. I am not much of an average television watcher. To be honest I despise commercials, so I record all of my series. I have been keeping track writing everything down in a notebook and crossing it off as I finish with each episode. This great little app lets me do all that and more. Keep up the absolutely fantastic work.  8)
-ramothgold (January 20, 2014, 12:57 AM)

Thank you very much for your kind words and taking the time to post.  Regarding epCheck, I'm currently adding functionality that will allow you to keep basic watched/unwatched state for each episode.  I'll probably release that version on this thread for some beta testing before I push it as a full release so stay tuned.

Thanks for this great program! I have one question(found a little bug in the weekly overview only), when I double click an episode title, the program start the browser (in my case opera)
-wjamoe (January 20, 2014, 12:57 PM)

I'm very glad you find the application useful and thank you for the bug report.  As I just mentioned above, I've been making some major changes to epCheck and I think I might have solved this bug as well.  Keep an eye open for a beta release on this thread and you can tell me for sure.

Ah, too bad.  I'm guessing that Windows reports it as one monitor so that's how Wallpaper Welder would see it.  Thanks for testing, though.

Hi, zwow, and welcome to the DonationCoder site.  I think your request might be a little out of scope for this app.  However, if you're interested, I can show you how to easily create such a list using my List Numberer application.  You could then paste said list into Text 2 Folders.

I have a small request, it's possible to not make the "Downloading data for: ${show}" dialog be always on top of other windows? It gets in the way of doing other things.

Not a programmer but I think I can see your point on adding the keeping track of seen shows.
-nickodemos (January 14, 2014, 10:12 PM)

If I do add anything, it will be just be a checkbox on each row.  Checked for seen, unchecked for not seen.  No colours, et al.  Of course, I'll make it so it's easy to highlight and check multiple entries at once, make it easy to mark an entire series as watched, etc.  I do try to keep my apps very simple and focused so if something like that isn't going to be sufficient, you might want to take a look at Free TvDB as it's a much more complete app in this regard than epCheck will ever be.

Very, very cool because I never tested a portrait mode setup.  So, it works fine, eh?  If so, would you mind posting a screenshot of your Wallpaper Welder window?  I'd love to see it.

Possible to get epCheck to record watched shows? It would be nice if you clicked on the episode number it could change it to a color the user sets to indicate seen.
-nickodemos (January 14, 2014, 11:35 AM)

I have thought about adding something like this but I need to figure out in my head how I want to keep track of that (programmatically).  In other words, stay tuned.

Also I noticed that when I have it in maxed view that there is a large blank column after the 'Air Date'. Possible that instead of being blanked out that you could add the episodes summary there? Would be a nice way to see all episodes summaries at a glance in case your trying to find a specific show for another to watch.
-nickodemos (January 14, 2014, 11:35 AM)

The episode overviews are already in the listview but I keep them hidden.  However, you make a good point so I've made a little tweak for you and uploaded a new version that doesn't force that column to stay hidden.  You will need to download the new version and then do a bit of manual column-shifting like I show in this animated GIF (click on the image):

Here's a short script that demonstrates how to find out if the active window is set for Always on Top.

Code: Autohotkey [Select]
  1. #1:: ; Win+1, change as necessary.
  2. {
  3.     WinGet, myStyle, ExStyle, A
  4.     If ( myStyle & 0x8 ) ; 0x8 is WS_EX_TOPMOST.
  5.     {
  6.         MsgBox, This window is set for Always on Top
  7.     }
  8. }
  9. Return

Nothing is written to the registry to indicate if a window is on top or not.  It's what is called a window "style" or "property" and, again, it has nothing to do with the registry.
