Sorry ...
I just now noticed: I accidentally clicked on the envelope-button, which is 'sending an email'.
Did you receive an email?

Here's the initial release of MPCPLed:

http://www.dcmembers.../mpcpled/MPCPLed.zip

@fwdojo:  Please try this on copies of your playlists just in case you come across any bugs within my app.  Also, the app handles type, file, label, and subtitle lines.  I couldn't find a specification on the MPCPL format so, if you come across others, please let me know and I'll add support for them.

Does anyone have any ideas for an editor like this?

-fdwojo (March 31, 2018, 10:51 PM)

I'm working on it and should have a basic version ready to go later today.

P.S. I don't know if it's supposed to be me that changes the Topic title to
        "DONE: Need an .MPCPL file editor"
or if someone else does that.

-fdwojo (April 01, 2018, 07:17 AM)

I take care of that.  Did you want me to change it and call it a day or did you want me to continue working on the application I mentioned above?

Not sure if I'll have time to get to it, especially before skwire jumps in.  But it's interesting enough that I might try to make time for it soon.

Dont they completely remove consumer access in the fall?

-wraith808 (March 29, 2018, 07:17 AM)

Apologies.  I should have clarified that I switched to the new CrashPlan for Small Business program.  Basically, it's the same as CrashPlan Home used to be but you have to pay per computer now.  The old Home plan used to be $150/year for up to ten computers and the new Small Business plan is $120/year for one computer.  The storage is still unlimited, though.  Does that help to clear things up?

Living Room / Re: For those with a CrashPlan...

« Last post by skwire on March 29, 2018, 12:56 AM »

I just stayed with Crashplan on one PC (my server).

As before, each PC in my house still does image backups nightly to the server (using Veeam).  I wrote some quick scripts to dump certain folders on each PC to the appropriate family member's user folder on the server (which Crashplan then backs up to its cloud).  Plus, my previous Crashplan subscription goes until April and then I get the next year at 75% off ($2.50/month).  After that, the one server will cost me $10/month ($120/year) which is $30 less than I was paying for the old family plan.  Not quite as convenient, sure, but it'll do just fine.  And, yes, that $10/month is for unlimited storage space.

-skwire (November 12, 2017, 09:42 AM)

Well, we're getting close to expiration, I think.  Are you going to expire this fall?  Or were you somehow grandfathered in?

What is everyone using these days?  The terms and conditions and trust of the different services has me in analysis paralysis mode.

-wraith808 (March 28, 2018, 04:11 PM)

I'm still with Crashplan and still running with the method described above.

Tapping on the wifi name in question and tapping on 'forget network' should do that

-rgdot (March 27, 2018, 07:39 PM)

From his original post, it appears he's already done that.  However, based on his original post, he had to access a website to log in so the WiFi network in question is probably an open network (no password on the actual WiFi network) and he's probably going to have to clear the browser cache on his phone.  Or, at the very least, clear that particular password out of his browser's saved passwords.

Finished Programs / Re: DONE: Right Click any file and create New Folder by its Name

« Last post by skwire on March 20, 2018, 11:05 PM »

Sometimes I want the "target folder" to be created in a different directory than the one I'm in. Can a list of 10 recent directories or so be kept in a pick list and defaulted to the last-used? Also, and I'm not sure how this'll grab ya, sometimes I'd like the target directory to named for me. Can some random string, or perhaps a timestamp, or a combination be generated to offer me that option. These two features are great when weeding a directory (like "Downloads" that may not have been cleaned for a bit...) and wanting to keep the files, but get them out of my face, and put them in the canonical place I keep those files.

-cci8j (March 20, 2018, 02:28 PM)

Most of these options, or close to it, are available when you select multiple files.  Have you seen that dialog?

My Files 2 Folder application does work with multiple files.  What happens when you select multiple files and choose Files 2 Folder from the menu?

N.A.N.Y. 2010 / Re: NANY 2010 Release: ClipTrap

« Last post by skwire on March 03, 2018, 10:33 PM »

Skwire, I have an idea for ClipTrap.
Since ClipTrap makes archives of the last X number of text files, what if there was an option or command to open that folder in Explorer? 
It would be easy to implement.

-BGM (March 03, 2018, 07:30 PM)

Yep, easily doable as a menu item.  I will add this.

At the bottom of the Clips Tab, there is Copy Window Text, but who really ever wants to copy *everything* like that?

-BGM (March 03, 2018, 07:33 PM)

Well, that's how ClipTrap came about.  I initially wrote it for a previous workplace where we used terminal emulators (SecureCRT, PuTTY, etc.) constantly and routinely had need to capture several successive bits of output from various routers, switches, and other devices on the network.  Then we would copy all that aggregated input and dump it into a log, or a trouble ticket, etc.

What if there was a button for "Copy Entry" or "Copy Line"?
Then you could put the cursor on the line you wanted and copy everything between delimiters with one button without having to select the text.

-BGM (March 03, 2018, 07:33 PM)

Even though you can specify a delimiter, ClipTrap has no concept of entries.  Yes, I could probably figure out the text between two delimiters but that could get messy.  What if the chosen delimiter was part of the text of a clip, etc.?  Copying the line the caret happens to be on would be as good as it gets.

Hello, reifwp, and welcome to the DonationCoder site.   

So, the conclusion. It's ideal to make folders. Under checklists. Windows, SEO and so on.
Also it would be possible to make checklists with 1 hierarchy tree down. And the possibility of linking the attachment of a text document.

-reifwp (February 28, 2018, 01:12 PM)

I really appreciate your feedback.  As wraith808 mentioned, sChecklist was written for a singular, simple purpose and will remain that way.
