I'll try again later when the link is working and give it a run through!
-Beth UK (February 06, 2022, 04:58 AM)

Please retry! (Direct link has been updated).

GitHub release: https://github.com/p...0.1.0-ALPHA.20220206

Direct download: https://github.com/p...0-ALPHA-20220206.zip

RELEASE NOTES are shaping:

- Gets random samples by value.
- Deletes unchecked samples.
- Buttons for 8, 16, 32, 48 and 64 samples.
- Saves checked samples to sequential directory (auto) or manually.
- Uses settings data file.

...Next release enables some more options (i.e. Add checked, right-click on list for easy check-state toggling)

Stay tuned! This is the first alpha version for initial testing and incremental building.

It's pledged for a February release :)

Vic, maybe this idea for basic GUI

- Option to select number of files to be randomly selected
- Display list of selected files with preview for each file
- Option to keep or discard file
- Option to re-random (run again) unmarked files
- Option to save final selection in sequentially numbered folder in source folder

Thereafter all processing  and organising done within additional software
-Beth UK (January 28, 2022, 07:00 PM)

Got it!

Thanks for the positive words AMIGO :) nkPrepend is the next [ALPHA] release:

Just sorting the dynamic drag&drop item reordering + auto-scroll (when there are more items than the list view displays at a time); it's actually about to be put online :Thmbsup:

Yeah! This is a dynamic creation process. I'm in to code your exact request as "ClipHoard":

Going to make it as your next program. The idea is to be the most useful!

P.S. great image editing. got the request across perfectly :up:

For the "file move" we have a sollution for now, I think in the interest of everyone, it is better to go on with the other one which has no sollution so far (maybe also anybody knows a sollution for that as well).
-Pareidol (January 28, 2022, 07:59 AM)

Please check out the WONDERFUL replies the fellows made @ your thread! :Thmbsup: (the DC community rocks!)

Maybe in future you have some spare time for the open source file move (that the github page doesn't stay so abandoned)  ;)
-Pareidol (January 28, 2022, 07:59 AM)

Okay, in order to make the program more comprehensive, a new repo named "CopyOrMoveToMenu" was created to replace it :)

https://github.com/p...a-la-contro/issues/2

Running on W7:



Perhaps I can help as a beta tester ?
-Contro (January 28, 2022, 06:42 AM)

Please do test. LNK implementation may produce exceptions on locales other than "en-US", so your beta testing is welcome since you are both the main tester & user.

...By all means download & report back. Let's try to have it officially complete to add it to January's releases thread  :up:

Cheers!

Yeah, think at least three (3) releases for the month can be worth a "New Apps" thread in the section.

Oh! One last thing. How many random files should be selected by default? (your personal preference :up:)

Cheers!

That would be fantastic publicdomain Vic! My curated sample collection consists purely of wav, flac, ogg and very rarely mp3. The ability to be able to preview files before committing to a sub-folder would be very useful but can imagine that will possibly be problematic - especially as my sound uses an external sound interface using asio. Thank you for your interest!
-Beth UK (January 27, 2022, 03:45 PM)

Alright Beth, RandomSampler repo is open @ https://github.com/p...domain/randomsampler, I've cloned it locally to begin adding code :Thmbsup:

Regarding the GUI: thinking about a directory selection dialog, ListBox with all loaded samples as found in the directory AND a secondary list holding selected random files to preview with a play button.

Also, a "RANDOM SAMPLES" button with a text box alongside for changing the number of random files to select on each press.

Stay tuned! I'm home & "smashing keys" during a big chunk of the day; currently aiming at making a N.A.J. "New Apps for January" mini event :)

Cheers!

Post New Requests Here / Re: Background tool to open links in correct Chrome profile?
« Last post by publicdomain on January 27, 2022, 04:12 PM »
Good thoughts, but I think  Wraith is correct.  Using mailto wouldn't work.
-kunkel321 (January 27, 2022, 08:17 AM)

Thanks & yes, Wraith is correct indeed. As I understand more of the issue at hand, it seems the solution would be to detect mail link URL (via automation / extension), stop the loading, then change profile if needed (i.e. change work profile) to ultimately load the link using proper profile.

A little research:

The right app is being triggered.
-wraith808 (January 27, 2022, 01:44 AM)

Thanks for your input and clarification AMIGO :)

My "old school-ness" leaked... this was my confusion source:

What I'd like is some way to "tell" Chrome that if I open an Outlook email link, use my work profile.  I guess that would need to be some kind of back-running utility that stays on all the time?  I don't know.  Maybe an Outlook add-in is what I need.
-kunkel321 (January 26, 2022, 01:59 PM)

When giving my 2 cents, I totally related it to the actual Outlook app/program handling "mailto:" email links.

First thing that "popped" in my head was to set mailto: handler app command to open as:

"C:\Program Files\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome_proxy.exe"  --profile-directory="Profile 1" URL

...Regular "https:" links are another use-case. Perhaps that's a job for a Chrome extension.

-kunkel321 (January 26, 2022, 01:59 PM)

It looks like it's a Windows default program issue (triggered outside of Chrome). Perhaps it can be solved via a "toggle" for handling "mailto:" links.

Thoughts?
-kunkel321 (January 26, 2022, 01:59 PM)

Thinking about a tiny program monitoring/detecting when chrome is active for switching your "mailto:" default app association, then back when Chrome is stopped... It may be as simple as that! (feel free to try changing your default email program. Cheers!)

Hola! You program's almost ready to release.

Screenshot from 2022-01-26 23-29-29.png

I'm only sorting .LNK files parsing since the oldie native parsing code I have doesn't compile on my current Linux setup (this is an edge case; I'm back to Windows + Visual Studio at a later time nonetheless, yet right now may have to do libLNK or similar).

Just wanted to reassure you I'm coding & about to release :up: Cheers!

-Beth UK (January 26, 2022, 06:29 PM)

Wowie! That's a lot of files! I have code for this (half-baked, sort of) thanks to "Random Sounds App":

https://github.com/p...main/randomsoundsapp

I'm staying home finishing several DC releases during the next few days. I'll give it a shot to yours! :Thmbsup:

P.S. please list *ALL* file extensions you're targeting/filtering (wav, ogg, flac...).

P.P.S. first version is likely a minimalist GUI. File tags and comments can be added later. Let's focus on the random functionality for v0.1.0.

Double-Esc to close current window is huge.  Looking forward to it.

My pleasure! I'm finishing Contro's ini proggie to truly get this one rolling (I'm doing a "N.A.J." -- New Apps for January coding spree LoL)

On my keyboard, Ctrl-Esc is a handy combination, yes, so good candidate to do something with.  Might, however, have to override a standard Windows action
-nkormanik (January 23, 2022, 06:04 PM)

hehe, yeah! At this point in software history seems you're likely to hit shortcut keys for one program or the other, so I guess it's okay to have the ability since you can't keep every program in the known universe happy :-*

https://defkey.com/what-means/shift-esc

As an alternative to a shortcut/hotkey, the two separate presses can also be made like:

Esc + | = close.
Esc + 1 = minimize.
Esc + 2 = maximize.
Esc + 3 = bottom of z-order.
Esc + 4 = toggle topmost.
...

You get the gist! ... to gift an "ESCapist" app with multiple configurable functions that are useful for users (very open to ideas right now! :) We first dare to dream then make our dreams a reality :Thmbsup:)

Yup.  Do you want it timestamped or "fixed"? (i.e. Weather2Text.txt all the time or formatted like: YYYY-MM-DD-HH-MM-SS.txt)
