Post New Requests Here / Re: IDEA: Change folder icon colour when folder empty
« Last post by skwire on October 25, 2011, 05:44 PM »
The way I was thinking of it would be the user assigns an icon path/filename that is then used.
-magician62 (October 25, 2011, 04:06 PM)

This will be no problem.  Some other thoughts:

  • To verify, you only want one level of folder recursion below the specified root folder, correct?
  • How about an edit field where you can specify a list of "allowed files" within a folder and still consider it empty?  You could add your "Thumbs.db" there...
  • What if a one-level-down folder contains a folder or folders.  How would you like that handled?

Post New Requests Here / Re: IDEA: Change folder icon colour when folder empty
« Last post by skwire on October 23, 2011, 05:53 PM »
There is one caveat and that is the folder icon is just that, an icon.  Changing it's colour will mean choosing another icon to use that may or may not match the icon style you're using.  Does that make sense?  If so, find a free icon that you would like to use (or make one).

http://www.iconfinder.com/
http://www.iconarchive.com/

An alternate icon solution would be to extract the default folder icon from the shell32.dll file and recolour it.  However, I'm uncertain of any potential copyright ramifications of doing that.

« Last post by skwire on October 21, 2011, 11:29 PM »
Looks like I'll finally have to finish building my own player and share it with the 9x community that refuses to "die". Oh well...
-Drugwash (October 21, 2011, 07:52 PM)

Well, don't hold your breath.  I've had that build in its current state for months and haven't finished it.

But before that, could you please check the display of Filenames in the playlist? I'm seeing an unprintable character (empty square )at the end of each filename string. The Sample column also consists of one such character for each row. All other strings are correct.
-Drugwash (October 21, 2011, 07:52 PM)

Do me a favour and clear the list and re-add your files.  Let me know if that fixes the issue.

In the Options dialog, many controls are either truncated (Statics) or wrapped (Checkboxes, Radios). My system's default font is Tahoma 8 and may be wider than yours; please check when possible.
-Drugwash (October 21, 2011, 07:52 PM)

Screenshots, please, and I'll endeavour to fix those.

Info buttons do not display the icon in 9x, most likely due to an unsupported function (BCM_SETIMAGELIST ?). BS_ICON or BS_BITMAP and BM_SETIMAGE should work fine in 9x and 7 but may lose button theme in XP; BS_FLAT style could make for a compromise.
-Drugwash (October 21, 2011, 07:52 PM)

I'll see what I can do about this.

« Last post by skwire on October 21, 2011, 04:15 PM »
I've noticed three strange bugs that may all be due to the same thing since they all involving the Trout icon in the MiniBar.

When the main window is open and a song is playing and I hover over the Trout icon in the MiniBar, the EQ visualizer thingy stops responding.

Also, the hover tooltip thingy will appear, showing what song is currently playing. And if I move my mouse off the MiniBar somewhere random, the tooltip will appear once again at the new location.
-Deozaan (October 18, 2011, 11:57 PM)

Both are fixed in the latest build.  Thanks for testing these for me.

Additionally, I often double click the Trout Icon in the MiniBar to bring up the main window, and it appears that any time I do that, the path to a dll file gets copied to my clipboard. On my computer, it's this:

D:\Documents\Dropbox\PortableApps\PortableApps\TroutPortable\App\Trout\res\resources.dll
-Deozaan (October 18, 2011, 11:57 PM)

After some extensive testing, this appears to be an AHK bug under Win 7 when double-clicking a picture control.  Run the following code after changing the image path to something suitable.  Under Windows XP, double-clicking the image does nothing (as expected).  Under Windows 7, it copies the image path to the clipboard.  Very very odd.

Code: Autohotkey [Select]
  1. imagePath := "C:\test.png"
  2.  
  3. Gui, Add, Picture, w300 h300 gOnPic, % imagePath
  5. Return
  6.  
  7. OnPic:
  8. {
  9.     ; Nothing going on here...
  10. }
  11. Return
  12.  
  15. {
  16.     ExitApp
  17. }
  18. Return

On another note, I've posted in the AHK forums a script that can do progressbar clicking and works in all Windows versions; you may wanna try to use it, to avoid separate code for volume/seekbar.
-Drugwash (October 21, 2011, 07:12 AM)

Thanks.  Unfortunately for Windows 95/98/2000 users, I have a (mostly) working Unicode compatible build using AHK_L so, if I ever finalise that, support for Windows 95/98/2000 will cease in Trout.

If you speak English anything close to how you write English, and I bet you do, I don't think you'll have ANY problem.  You write English better than a lot of native types.  Based on your posts alone, you could EASILY be considered native English.

« Last post by skwire on October 14, 2011, 11:42 AM »
Hi, John Alaska, and welcome to the site.   :D  Apologies for not replying sooner.

As Ath has mentioned, I'm pretty positive there is nothing like a "TV Guide" for internet radio.  The closest you'll find is the SHOUTcast radio directory here:  http://www.shoutcast.com

There are several audio players that cater directly to playing internet radio.  Some may even have rudimentary recording schedulers much like a VCR in the past.  You know, where you just set the time to record and the channel without any direct knowledge of what you're recording.  None, AFAIK, have any sort of calendaring feature.  The random, varying nature of internet radio would make that sort of thing very difficult to do.

I love that site's simple, no bullsh!t layout.

1. I've added all my music to the player and I know of moving the tracks around but I didn't want all of my music to be out of place and have to re-add everything again. I also clicked the columns to sort everything back into place but it never really gets it back in order once I've moved one track or a few around.
-Sfre (October 12, 2011, 01:51 PM)

Understood.  I'm going to send you a PM with some instructions that may help you out.

Also, I'll have a song on repeat, it will only get scrobbled one time no matter how many times I listen to it. Just something I noticed and I rarely repeat a song so it's not a problem for me.
-Sfre (October 12, 2011, 01:51 PM)
