Thanks, evamaria.  Do you mind if I add some AHK syntax highlighting to your post to make it a bit more readable?

So, you're using WinRAR already? Good for you. I've attached a short screencast video showing you how to create a WinRAR profile + add it the context menu. After doing this, you can zip your files and folders into separate archive files with two mouse-clicks.

@wr975: Nicely done!

@magician62: I'm probably not going to get to this for at least a couple of weeks.  And, with a solution like wr975's, I'm not sure it's even worth it.

Hi, traupmann, and welcome to the DonationCoder site.  Regarding your request, what are you expecting to be polled?  Your router?  The network itself?  Keep in mind that most (all?) home-style routers are not designed to be polled for their data.

Thank you for your time, Skwire.  I will be away for a few weeks; when I return, I'll try it out.

In that case, I'll just release it and, if you run into issues, we can work them out later.  Have a safe trip.  =]

Hi, DxCK, and welcome to the DonationCoder site.   

The GUI layout of your software is nice and clean, just the way I like them.  May we assume that your software reads the Master File Table much like Everything, UltraSearch, SwiftSearch, etc?

Perhaps they have other footage from another angle that shows what happened during the time the aircraft was out of camera range above the cars windshield.

This sounds like a limitation of Google Drive.  You're going to need to contact them (Google) to see if they can implement the album art support you want.

I took the easy way out and created a help button that warns the user of the possible ramifications of using the archival feature.  I also left the renaming scheme as I originally wrote it (seems more natural to me).

You can try the interim build here:  http://skwire.dcmemb...lipTrap_v1.1.5.2.zip

Please let me know how it goes for you.

Are you saying that this Drive music player is not showing your embedded album art?  If so, you probably need to get with the developer of the Drive music player to see if they can implement your request.

Might be worth contacting the developer to see if your wishes can be implemented.

I love Cathy's speed as well but, unless I'm mistaken, it does not handle Unicode.  At least, in my tests, it doesn't.

N.A.N.Y. 2010 / Re: NANY 2010 Release: ClipTrap

« Last post by skwire on May 08, 2013, 10:20 PM »

BGM, I have your feature request almost entirely implemented but there is one caveat that I need to mention.  I have it written so you can configure the max size of the clip.txt file as well as how many clip.txt files to keep.  So, let's say you have it set for a max size of one meg and are keeping five archive files.  The flow:

1) Your clip.txt file goes over one meg.
2) clip5.txt is deleted, clip4.txt is renamed to clip5.txt, clip3.txt is renamed to clip4.txt, clip2.txt is renamed to clip3.txt, clip1.txt is renamed to clip2.txt, and clip.txt is renamed to clip1.txt.  No problems to this point.
3) The problem is that ClipTrap's window still contains the contents of the recently archived clip.txt (which is now clip1.txt) and will write those contents fully to clip.txt on the next clipboard change (which will trigger the archive routine again).  Lather, rinse, repeat...

The obvious solution is to simply clear ClipTrap's window if the archive routine gets called.  That's easy enough.  However, I think this might be a bit disconcerting to the user.  That is, the user probably isn't going to be aware that the clips just got archived and is expecting to see a window full of text.  Do you follow what I'm saying.  I'm not sure there is another way to handle this, but I'm open to suggestions.  Maybe a simple warning when enabling the archive feature or something...I don't know.

Sorry for the lack of movement on this; I've been especially busy with my regular job lately.  I'll try to find some time to investigate adding your original request to SpinZip.

@Other devs:  If anybody else wants to take a crack at this request, by all means, do so.  =]
