N.A.N.Y. 2011 / Re: NANY 2011 Release: Snap DB

« Last post by skwire on April 10, 2013, 10:15 AM »

on resizing the SnapDB window, I've gotten three freezes so far

-tomos (April 10, 2013, 07:51 AM)

I can reproduce this by grabbing the right side and shaking the hell out of it but not under normal circumstances.  I'm going to guess the issue is in the Anchor() function that I use for positioning and resizing controls.

I wanted to ask you why is the "Edit record" option greyed out when in "Filter" mode?

-alexsan01 (March 19, 2013, 12:27 PM)

Apologies for missing your post, alexsan01.    

Short answer: Utter laziness.    Long answer: This might be a bit difficult to explain.  Snap DB databases aren't really databases in the relational sense (they're simple flat files).  When displaying filtered contents, what you're seeing is a new listview of matching results that have no correlation with the non-filtered view.  I haven't sat down and come up with a way to correlate the two.  Does that make any sense?

You're very welcome.  I'm glad it worked for you.

Max number of columns would be 250.
That large number means it'll be lots of work without some magic.

-nkormanik (April 09, 2013, 08:18 PM)

Please give this a try:  http://skwire.dcmembers.com/apps/snacks/NKExcelTool.zip

Close all open Excel files and make a folder with copies of your working files.  Put the NKExcelTool.exe in the same folder as your copies and run it.  A progress bar should appear and, once it's finished, it should display a message box asking if you'd like to open the text output file.  The first row of each Excel file should be listed along with the source filename in brackets at the end of each line.  That way, if there is a discrepancy, you'll be able to tell which file is the culprit.  This application uses COM for the grunt work which can be somewhat finicky so let me know how it goes.  Thanks.

Agreed!  I'm lazy.  Hahaha.    For the record, the mEncoder binary does the grunt work of this app and it seems to support just about any format I've thrown at it.

-app103 (April 09, 2013, 10:38 AM)

Keep in mind that an EML file contains everything a raw email is made up of e.g., all headers, attachments, etc.  Regarding attachments, because of the way attachments are encoded in email, this can result in a huge amount of what looks like garbled text within the EML file.  Anyway...just some things to consider.  =]

Ok, thanks. That's helpful. The reason I asked is because when searching for converter software and narrowing down the field to the ones I want to try, the versatile ones are more attractive. I didn't see anything mentioned here.

-Scott_Y (April 08, 2013, 03:31 PM)

Oh, man, there are tons of video converters out there.  Mine works the way it does because it was specifically requested to by the original poster.  In other words, I wasn't trying to compete with any of the others out there...just fulfilling a request.  If you're looking for options and such, you'd definitely be better off using a different application.  If you're looking for something that will quickly create a throw-away type of audio track, this might fit the bill.  =]

Give this a test, please:  http://skwire.dcmembers.com/apps/sclose/sClose.zip

At this point, it's an early proof-of-concept to see if it chooses smartly which windows to close.  Basically, I tried to make it only close windows that show up in the Alt-Tab chain.  Also, this build will first give you a list of windows it intends to close to allow you to choose whether or not you want to proceed.  I've done some minimal testing here on my computer and VMs so I'm looking forward to any feedback you may have.

« Last post by skwire on April 05, 2013, 05:33 PM »

I worked on this for several hours but I've come to the decision that, because of the way I initially designed the code to support a dynamic number of timers, fixing this issue will probably require a rewrite.  This is codespeak for, "Don't hold your breath."      I've updated Ten Timer's webpage to state that it does work on Windows 7 with some graphical glitches.

A bit of a surprise: ESC closes the timer. I don't think that's a benefit.

-Scott_Y (April 05, 2013, 11:52 AM)

I know it's a personal preference thing but, if I had my way, that would be how every window would act.  I can take it out if you'd like.

« Last post by skwire on April 04, 2013, 06:23 PM »

Hi, Stamimail, and welcome to the DonationCoder site.  Your request to close all windows, though it sounds simple, is a lot more complex than it seems.  There are many more windows going on your system than you realise.  You can't simply get a list of all running processes and then attempt to close them.  Chaos would ensue.  What I'm saying is that it's rather difficult to automatically determine what to close and what not to close.

Thanks for the report.  I can't recall it doing that in my older XP build but I can confirm it happens on my newer W7 build.  I'll see if I can figure out why and fix.
