For the new parent users, can you add something that does (something like) month anniversaries for the newly born?
-Stoic Joker (March 21, 2011, 11:51 AM)

Do you mean it would add a separate entry in every month for said newborn?

Thanks :up:

Could a Double-Click on an empty spot be turned into Add birthday, instead of an errormessage? That's a bit more intuitive,

Here's a proof-of-concept script.  

  • Save this to <whatever>.ahk and put it in your fre:ac folder.
  • Edit the myOutputDir variable to an output folder of your choice.
  • Run the script.  You should see a small square begging for you to drop some files on it.
  • Drop some files on it!
  • They will be converted to mp3 and placed in your chosen output directory with the original modification times.

Code: Autohotkey [Select]
  1. ; Set up environment.
  8. SetWorkingDir, %A_ScriptDir%

Either a program that can suck in an audio file (or a list of files) and squirt out an MP3 with the same time/datestamp as the original
-oblivion (March 21, 2011, 09:30 AM)

fre:ac actually comes with a commandline version in its install so that, combined with a small bit of AHK script, would make this a piece of cake.  Heck, you could even use the lame.exe file directly.  Do you have AutoHotkey installed?

1. add to the right-click menu a check/uncheck all just for a specific month.
2. would love to add a comment/note by double clicking on a particular birthday. Is that possible?
-PhilB66 (March 18, 2011, 11:58 AM)

  • For sure.
  • Hmmm...I'm trying to keep the listviews very simple but, yes, I could do this.  There are two schools of thought:
    • Store the data (single line only) in a hidden listview column and then display the data in the status bar or edit field at the bottom of the main dialog when said birthday is highlighted.
    • Provide one popup (pop out cake?! =) generic edit field where you can keep notes on all the birthdays.  Think a basic notepad-style window.

Keep in mind that CovArt Ops does NOT download covers or anything like that.  It simply shows you which folders do/don't have art in them (as well as their "quality" for lack of a better term).  My PlayTime app will show you the bitrates of your audio files.

Skwire Empire / Re: Birthdays (simple birthday tracking app)
« Last post by skwire on March 18, 2011, 10:27 AM »
Can I do some more suggestions?  ;)
1. Don't enable the "Edit birthday" and "Delete birthday" buttons and (main and right-click) menu items if no birthday is selected.
    (That's better than letting the user click/choose it and then saying "Please select a birthday to edit")
2. Make the button tooltips correspond the menu item texts ("birthday" vs. "entry")
3. Make the 'Day' columns by default as narrow as possible (to display the "Day" header). That way more space can be used for the name.
4. I don't know if AHK allowst it, but it would be great to be able to resize/maximize the application.
-zzynx (March 18, 2011, 04:54 AM)

All done in the latest update. 

5. I was rather surprised that pressing ESC exits the application
-zzynx (March 18, 2011, 04:54 AM)

That's how I like apps to work.  Moreover, using escape calls the same routine as exiting the app so everything is saved, etc.

The screenshot is correct.  In other words, "Example 2" should come before "Examplel" in an alpha sort.  Please redownload the zip file.  I fixed an issue where any trailing newlines would negate any output.

Give this a shot:  http://skwire.dcmembers.com/apps/snacks/RegExTextSorter.zip

The app is still early so nothing is saved, etc.  The RegEx needle dropdown does have two entries in it, though, to help you out; the first one ought to work for your URLs.  At this point, you can only use one back-reference.

Here are some screenshots:

A little background on this app...  My wife's grandmother has had a cloth version of this magneted to her refrigerator for time immemorial.   :D  It has twelve clear pockets (one for each month) and within each pocket is a paper card with all family children's and grandchildren's names and day handwritten on them.  Each month, she checks it, writes out birthday cards and sends them out.  She's never missed one in the eighteen years I've known her.   :P  My wife asked if I could make a software version of it and what you see is what I came up with.  She uses the checkboxes to mark off who she has sent cards or gifts to for the year.  She also prefers to-the-point apps that aren't complicated with all manner of bells and whistles.  As such, there is no complicated scheduler or anything like that in this app (nor will I add one  :)).

I wanna be like Granpa Pete and have 2 birthdays a year!  :'( Also, I see the sex-change went well for him. Her.

I tried RSSOwl at some point, but since it's Java based it was slower and took up comparatively much memory as I remember it.
Please note that on current computers you likely won't notice it, but since mine is a bit older, stuff like that actually matters
-Jibz (March 16, 2011, 10:16 AM)

I have an older computer as well (4+ years) and, like you, usually avoid badly-done Java apps.

It may take up some resources, but after having compared it with 'most' of the other readers, I consider it to be the best and most suited to my needs.
-joiwind (March 16, 2011, 01:43 PM)

Absolutely agreed.  What RSSOwl offers me more than offsets a bit of slowness and resource usage.
