Skwire Empire / Release: Comic Book Archive Creator

« Last post by skwire on July 06, 2012, 08:34 PM »

Title	Comic Book Archive Creator
Description	An application for quickly creating Comic Book Archive files for use in such readers as Comic Rack or CDisplay.  Features: Input formats: pdf, jpg, png, gif, tif, & bmp Output formats: cbz, cb7, cbt, & cbr Due to the WinRAR license, I am not allowed to distribute the Rar.exe file necessary for .cbr support. Therefore, if you want .cbr support, you must provide your own Rar.exe file.  If you don't have your own Rar.exe file, don't worry, you can still create cbz, cb7, and cbt files.  Thanks to lanux128 for the idea.
Supported OS	Windows XP or later
Website:	http://skwire.dcmembers.com/fp/?page=comic-book-archive-creator
History	Changelog
Download	Portable zip

They're CSV

Just for the record, they're actually TSV (tab-separated) files even though they have the CSV extension.

The script is super simple so I don't foresee any future issues.  It doesn't matter to me, but you're welcome to post it on the AHK forums.

Right on.  That does confirm my hunch that the AHK_L Unicode version would work properly.  Thanks very much for testing.  =]

personally, I am fine with the script as it is

@skwire
just out of curiosity, did you find out why the sorting does not work for the first line...?

-me_7834539 (July 05, 2012, 04:51 PM)

Apologies for the delay.  I did some more testing and I think I know what the problem is.  I'm going to assume that are using the regular vanilla AutoHotkey build.  Can you install the AutoHotkey_L build and then try the cat-parser.ahk script, please?

hello, the script's behavior is all a bit too voodoo to me... hmm. first of all:

this:
qqq   testtest

ppp   testtest

will sort correctly for you?

-me_7834539 (July 02, 2012, 11:57 AM)

Yep, works perfectly here.  I wonder if this is a "German OS versus English OS" issue.  Do me a favour, please, and run this script:

Code: Autohotkey [Select]

1. myText =
2. (
3. n
4. q
5. p
6. r
7. a
8. e
9. )
10.  
11. Sort, myText
12.  
13. MsgBox, % myText

Please let me know the results.  Thank you.

« Last post by skwire on July 02, 2012, 10:21 AM »

here is what I meant by removing blank lines:

Code: Text [Select]

1. cat1    Here is some cat1 text.
2.         Here is some continued cat1 text.
3. cat2    Here is ANOTHER cat2 item.
4. cat2    Here is some cat2 text.
5.         Here is some continued cat2 text.
6.         Here is some more continued cat2 text.
7. cat3    Here is some cat3 text.
8.         Here is some continued cat3 text.

-me_7834539 (July 02, 2012, 09:37 AM)

Yep, I was just making sure you wanted it this way.

(side rematk: I am now outing myself as a total idiot, I just noticed that the script temporarily replaces blank lines by §, I am curious as to why this does not break text that originally contains §.)

-me_7834539 (July 02, 2012, 09:37 AM)

If that character is in the original text, it should break the script.  I chose that character since it's rarely used.  However, if you do happen to use it on a regular basis, we can change it to some other, rarely-used character.

and here is an example of text where your script will not sort the first item:

-me_7834539 (July 02, 2012, 09:37 AM)

That's very strange as it sorts fine for me.     You could try changing the sorting line in the script this:

    Sort, myText, CL D§

thanks for your efforts!!

-me_7834539 (July 02, 2012, 09:37 AM)

You're welcome.  Thanks very much for the donation.

- the script seemed to work perfectly, except for the very first item. the very first item always stayed on top (like this: dfbaacbc -> daabbccf).

-me_7834539 (July 02, 2012, 07:59 AM)

That's odd as I didn't experience this in my, albeit minimal, testing.  Can you PM me a short sample text file that this happens with?

- I have not yet thoroughly tested the script, but so far it seems to work very nicely. I did a test if any characters (or tabstops) are lost (German keyboard, all keys incl. using modifiers shift and alt-gr), but everything seemed fine.

-me_7834539 (July 02, 2012, 07:59 AM)

If you run into situations where this occurs, you will probably have to switch to AutoHotkey_L which handles Unicode.

oh... and would it be difficult to add to the script that blank lines be removed after the sorting? 

-me_7834539 (July 02, 2012, 08:32 AM)

Sure, can do. Did you mean ALL blank lines, e.g.,:

cat1    Here is some cat1 text.
        Here is some continued cat1 text.
cat2    Here is some cat2 text.
        Here is some continued cat2 text.
        Here is some more continued cat2 text.
        Here is even more continued cat2 text.
cat3    Here is some cat3 text.
        Here is some continued cat3 text.

Yes, I am actually using AHK for very simple tasks.

-me_7834539 (July 01, 2012, 06:31 PM)

Good, I was just making sure before posting a simple script that should accomplish what you want.  I'd normally just paste the script into a codebox right into this post but the code uses a special character that our forum keeps converting erroneously.  Grab the actual code from this link:

http://skwire.dcmembers.com/apps/snacks/cat-parser.ahk

It's just a simple hotkey script so you can merge it into your own scripts or save it out as a stand-alone script.  Once you have it how you like, copy your category text to the clipboard, run the hotkey (default Win+1, or however you incorporate it), and the text should be sorted and placed back on your clipboard.  Let us know how it goes.  Thanks.

I'm not sure there is much more I can do about the refresh delay except tell you that many third-party file managers do NOT have this issue.  I use Altap Salamander and see the changes immediately (even with the original version that didn't have the refresh tweaks).  *shrug*

One issue known in Win7-64 and possibly 32, is that windows, does not always refresh immediately, in fact it can take some time.

-magician62 (June 27, 2012, 11:12 AM)

I added a small tweak to the code to, hopefully, fix this issue.  Can you please download the archive again and re-test it?  Thanks.

Finished Programs / Re: DONE: Scan music collection for missing covers/artwork

« Last post by skwire on June 27, 2012, 10:39 AM »

Hi, xiaxia.  So, to clarify, you would like it if the application considered the following as having cover art:

c:\music\Artist A\Foo\Foo.jpg
c:\music\Artist A\Bar\Bar.jpg
c:\music\Artist B\Fnord\Fnord.jpg
c:\music\Artist B\Blorp\Blorp.jpg

...where Foo, Bar, Fnord, and Blorp are album names.  These would match and is certainly doable.

However, I foresee some confusion if users set up a structure like mine where I add the year in front of the album name:

c:\music\Artist A\[2004] Foo\Foo.jpg
c:\music\Artist A\[2006] Bar\Bar.jpg
c:\music\Artist B\[2010] Fnord\Fnord.jpg
c:\music\Artist B\[2012] Blorp\Blorp.jpg

...again, where Foo, Bar, Fnord, and Blorp are album names.  These would not match.  Your thoughts?

1. Capture the address of the selected active window to the clipboard with a definable hotkey

-Contro (June 26, 2012, 04:40 PM)

Since you have the active path displayed in the window's titlebar, you can do your first request like this:

Code: Autohotkey [Select]

1. #q:: ; Win+Q, change to your liking.
2. {
3.     WinGetTitle, Clipboard, A
4. }
5. Return

2. capture the file path selected to the clipboard with a definable hotkey

-Contro (June 26, 2012, 04:40 PM)

The easiest way is probably:

Code: Autohotkey [Select]

1. #c:: ; Win+C, change to your liking.
2. {
3.     Clipboard = %Clipboard%
4. }
5. Return

One full set of 32,220 lines of commands has been running in File Punter for nearly two days.

-nkormanik (June 23, 2012, 03:15 AM)

Are you saying that you have 32,220 rules/entries in File Punter?  If so, why?

2374

Finished Programs / Re: DONE: Batch adjust shortcut targets

« Last post by skwire on June 22, 2012, 06:38 PM »

Since I have a perfect set of shortcuts for the first set of images, it does seem reasonable to use it again and again, if the path-tweak can be made for each of the additional 11 sets.

-nkormanik (June 22, 2012, 06:02 PM)

But that's what I'm saying -- just use File Punter again and create the additional rules you need.  Why create an entirely new program when File Punter can already do what you want?

Based off of your other thread, I gave you two example RegEx rules necessary to create your folders.  So, with 11 image sets total, you'd only have to create 22 rules total to generate all your needed shortcuts.  Really, what could be easier?

2375

Finished Programs / Re: DONE: Batch adjust shortcut targets

« Last post by skwire on June 22, 2012, 05:36 PM »

You might as well simply use File Punter to regenerate the shortcuts.  It would actually cost more to read the current shortcut and generate a new one than to simply generate a new one.  Make sense?
