Website | Download
v1.1.2 - 2011-01-28
    + Column orders are now saved per database.
    + "Convert row data to header names" added to the Edit menu.  This is useful after importing a CSV file.
    + Added custom CSV delimiter option under the Options dialog.  (Thanks, DeVamp)
    + Added "Import" toolbar button.
    + Added "Options" toolbar button.
    * CSV exports should be more adherent to the CSV standard with regards to double-quotes and commas within the data bits.
    ! The column order for CSV exports didn't match up with the listview column order.  (Thanks, bob99)
    ! Closing and saving a Snap DB database while in filter mode, and with a modified database, would result in Snap DB erroneously saving the filtered data view instead of the full, changed database.  (Thanks, TalksToPCs)

Here is the first release of Drop Zone.  Download

Random notes:

  • Very basic look and feel at this point.
  • Minimal testing so you run it at your own risk.  Test it out on copies of files first.
  • The executable will create an INI file of the same name as the executable e.g. DropZone.exe will make a DropZone.ini.  This way, you can just make copies of the DropZone.exe file, rename them, and run multiple instances from the same folder.
  • When it first runs, you will see a small square GUI with a single groupbox.  This is your drop zone.  Right-click it to get a small menu offering edit and reload options.  Choose edit to bring up the INI file for that instance.  The options are pretty self-explanatory.  Change options to suit, enter destination paths, save file and choose the reload option from DropZone's menu.
  • Once you're happy with the options, drag and drop some files and/or folders onto Drop Zone.  A menu will pop up with your configured destination paths.  Choose a destination and witness your files and folders being dealt with accordingly.
  • It uses the ShellFileOperation API so larger file operations will automatically pop up the standard Windows progress window.  File collisions are automatically renamed via this API as well.
  • It is Unicode capable.

Again...this is very early, and only represents about an hour of work, but I wanted to see if this was along the lines of what you had in mind.  Let me know what you think.

But I've just came across a program that exports to CVS seperated by ;
It was Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio.
I've exported a bunch of invoices, and to preserve the amounts, it uses a ; as separator.
And I didn't found a setting to change the exportsettings in it. :'(
-DeVamp (January 27, 2011, 07:42 AM)

The asinine thing is that the CSV standard can easily handle quotes, commas, periods etc. in the data bits if written and read properly.  There's no need to use different delimiters.  I know my complaining does as much good as pounding sand.   :P

Perhaps you can provide a "default" separator, just a general application setting, and then it's up to us, the users, to change it according to the file we want to drop or open or import.
Just an idea. :-)
-DeVamp (January 27, 2011, 07:42 AM)

It's in the next build.   :)

« Last post by skwire on January 26, 2011, 03:44 PM »
I have run into an issue.

I seem to have closed SnapDB with a filter applied the last time I used it.
Now, all I have left from my entries are the items that I had last filtered, which are about 5 out of 30 or so.

I cannot find a way to get my whole dataset back.
It isn't too dramatic and I certainly have a back-up somewhere.

Any suggestions?
-TalksToPCs (January 26, 2011, 03:29 PM)

Did you have the "Keep a .bak backup file after saving enabled" option enabled?  If so, the .bak file will be the save before your current one.  If not, you will have to find your own backup.

Regarding this bug, it happens when you've made changes to your database (and don't save), enable the filter, search on something and then close Snap DB.  Snap DB will then ask if you if you want to save (since the database has been modified) ... most folks will click yes and Snap DB erroneously saves the filtered data.  I will fix this and please accept my apologies.

I actually have had a new build waiting in the wings for a while now...just waiting on the member server move to be completed.

Tim, did you just want one "drop zone" area that would pop up a menu of destination choices?  If so, this would be a piece of cake to write in AHK.

-superboyac (January 24, 2011, 03:52 PM)

I actually found the file on my Win7 VM but the RunDLL call doesn't work under XP (not surprising).

skwire?  I'll make you another badge...
-superboyac (January 24, 2011, 03:52 PM)

Unless there's a programatical way to do this, I'll pass.  This is easily scriptable with AutoHotkey but the script will almost certainly be custom to your computer and whichever OS you run.  I don't like to get involved in such scripts for that reason.

There is no .cpl file for this.  Apparently, though, there is a way using the RunDLL method:  rundll32.exe van.dll,RunVAN

However, none of my systems have a van.dll file on them (even my laptop with a wireless card).  Anybody else have this file on their system?

Is there a maximum number of characters limit per field?
-bob99 (January 24, 2011, 12:00 PM)

No, but only the first 260 characters are displayed in the listview though the entire field is saved.  There is no limit to the number of rows but, keep in mind, that saving and loading times will increase with larger listviews.  I have a test database of zip codes that is three columns and around 43,000 rows.  It takes around fourteen seconds to fully load on my computer.  Furthermore, there is a maximum of 200 columns allowed.  Does this answer your question?

For the CSV : sometimes programs export data to "CSV", but they use a ; instead of a ,
-DeVamp (January 24, 2011, 10:39 AM)

Silly programs...that's not a CSV file then.  =]

And sometimes an export contains "strings" with quotes.
-DeVamp (January 24, 2011, 10:39 AM)

FWIW, when exporting, Snap DB properly handles quotes and commas within the data bits.

Lovely piece of software again Skwire!  :-*  :up:
-DeVamp (January 24, 2011, 05:21 AM)

Thanks.  =]

Because what happens now is the following:
I create a new file, and I get 4 columns.
When I drop a CSV on it with 7 columns, I end up with all the records with only 5 columns.
-DeVamp (January 24, 2011, 05:21 AM)

The sixth and seventh columns are actually there.  Just scroll to the right.  In the build you have, the fifth column gets auto-justified for some reason.  However, this issue has been fixed in my dev build.

Oh, and could it be possible to define the "separator" per database?
So when I create a new database, I define ',' or ';' as separator. When I then drop a scv on it, it uses the configured separator.
-DeVamp (January 24, 2011, 05:21 AM)

Any reason for this?  Is there some shortcoming to the CSV format?

One more thing (probably a bug):
If I drop a scv on it, the status doesn't change to "edited", so when I close snapdb, it doesn't save the data from the scv. :'(
-DeVamp (January 24, 2011, 05:21 AM)

This has also been addressed in my dev build.  I'm waiting on Gothi[c] to finish the member server move before uploading it.

I don't see what the big deal is with this app.  Is the "notebook-like" interface supposed to make you focus more on the task at hand?  WTH?  Something like this could be coded in next to no time using standard Win32 controls.  In fact, I'm sure it's been done a hundred times over.

I can't reproduce.

1) I start a track, let it play five seconds and click Pause.
2) I press and hold the fast forward button until the track is forty seconds in.
3) I click the Pause button and the track starts playing where it should (at forty-five seconds).

Is this what you're doing?

SnapDB is great!  It's now much easier for me using it to get some lists into csv format than I was doing before.
-bob99 (January 21, 2011, 11:46 AM)

Thanks for the kind words.  I'm glad you find it useful.

I appended two columns, renamed each and drug them to the left between two existing columns.  When I exported to a csv and brought them up in Excel, the appended columns were still on the right side.  Not where I moved them to.
-bob99 (January 21, 2011, 11:46 AM)

Should be fixed in the most recent build.  Please test and let me know.  Thanks.

IIRC this is also typical ListView control behavior.
I'm thinking there is a function call/API to reindex the rows in a ListView control, but I can't think of it at the moment.
-Stoic Joker (January 21, 2011, 01:12 PM)

Yes, it's typical listview behaviour but I was able to manually get around it.

The "Convert record data to header names." sounds great (and much smoother)
