It is exactly what I was hoping for, so thanks again!

-GoodGuy98 (July 30, 2010, 09:04 PM)

That's great to hear.  I assume it's working well for you?

Please enjoy the donation.

-GoodGuy98 (July 30, 2010, 09:04 PM)

Thank you very much.  I appreciate it.

I don't know if I should mark this thread solved or is that something you would do?

-GoodGuy98 (July 30, 2010, 09:04 PM)

I'll take care of it.  =]

Post New Requests Here / Re: IDEA: File/Directory Search with Aggregate Report

Give this a shot:  Download

One caveat...I compiled it with the AHK_L version of AutoHotkey to give it unicode path scanning capabilities.  The drawback is that the GUI will seem to be unresponsive while it's scanning but, don't worry, it'll finish scanning and then populate the list.  You can right click the list to get a menu that will allow you to open the current path, clear the list or copy its contents the clipboard.  If you find that unresponsiveness annoying, let me know, and I'll compile it with the native AutoHotkey build.  You will lose the ability to scan unicode paths, though.

Do you only have need to search for a single extension at a given time i.e. only .flac or only .mp3?  Also, what type of output would you like?  A listview?  Simple text file?

Please try this build: Download

It would be nice if the new Windows Explorer window opened in the same state as the original one.

-GoodGuy98 (July 28, 2010, 12:32 PM)

I've changed the behaviour to simply shell navigate the existing window instead of opening a new one and closing the old one.  Hopefully, this method will appear much more elegant to you.

This is really nitpicking, but all my existing URL files are named Url.txt rather than URL.txt.
I can manually change the case, but if you could change it to Url.txt it would save me the extra step.

-GoodGuy98 (July 28, 2010, 12:32 PM)

Fixed.

Thanks for the program,

At the very least, I could write you a small app that would scan your files for ones that contained DRM i.e. errored out when attempting to play them.  It could then offer to move/delete/whatever those files.  Would this be helpful to you?

1.  the ability to save the result
2.  to export it to excel.

-techidave (July 28, 2010, 05:49 AM)

1) Did you want to be able to save lists manually or did you want the app to just automatically save/load the last list contents?
2) I can export to CSV format which you can then open in Excel.  Is that acceptable?

« Last post by skwire on July 28, 2010, 02:28 AM »

Right, but, what I'm saying is that duplicating that check probably isn't going to be easily doable, if at all.  That's the whole idea behind these closed DRM systems.  That being said, I could easily write an app that would attempt to play the track and, if the track errored, consider it DRM protected.  I have no way to check if said DRM is valid, though, without reverse-engineering the respective DRM system (and I won't be doing that).

General Software Discussion / Re: DRM Management

« Last post by skwire on July 28, 2010, 01:05 AM »

Well,  I could write a simple app that would attempt to play each track and any that errored would be considered DRM-protected.  I'd need some sample files to work with, however.

I guess rno2 is wondering whether or not any app can run a check like WMP without having to try to play each track. Like a background check?

-J-Mac (July 28, 2010, 12:52 AM)

Are they tagged in any useful way?  Also, I'm not sure how you'd determine if the DRM is "valid".

Give this a shot:  Download

Put it in its own folder and run CreateSubfolder.exe directly once to register the shell extension. After that, right-click a folder and choose "Create Subfolder" from the context menu.

@Vista/Win7 users:  You will almost certainly have to run this in administrator mode.

had a try with this AHK   and I find that my target file gets  put in at the beginning of the 1st line.
also the hotkeys aren't being saved just been using control 1  control 2 in trying this out.

-nogojoe (July 25, 2010, 05:45 AM)

Crap, I must've broken the hotkey saving at some point.  It should be fixed now so please re-download.  As for your other issue, I'm going to guess it has something to do with AHK_L's Unicode handling and my lack of Unicode programming experience  .  Would you mind sending me one of those files, please?

Here's what kalos and I came up with.  "Text Targets" is the name. 

Download

Features

• Unicode compatible.  The app can read UTF-16 or UTF-8 files.  Target files are written in UTF-8.
• Select up to thirty target files.
• Each target file can have its own hotkey.  Spacebar skips a line.

Workflow

• Choose a source file.
• Set destination/target files.
• Click Start.
• The "Line" field will then show the first line of the source file.
• At this point, you can choose a target file for the line or simply skip it.
• After choosing a target file or skipping, the next line is shown and so on until you click Stop or reach the end of the source file.
• Lines that were sent to a target file are removed from the source file once Stop is clicked or the end of the file is reached.  Skipped lines remain in the source file.

« Last post by skwire on July 24, 2010, 01:40 AM »

There is no need to use the clipboard.  Consider the following AHK code:

Code: Autohotkey [Select]

1. Loop
2. {
3.     Key_3 := Key_2, Key_2 := Key_1
4.     Input, Key_1, V I L1
5. }
6. Return
7.  
8.  
9. ^t::
10. {
11.     SendInput, {Backspace 2}
12.     SendInput, % Key_2 . Key_3
13. }
14. Return

The above snippet should work anywhere to swap the last two typed characters without using the clipboard.  Alternately, you could easily restrict it down to only certain applications.  Obviously, minimal testing has been done with this but it seems to work pretty well.

N.A.N.Y. 2009 / Re: NANY 2009 Release: Trout (audio player)

« Last post by skwire on July 23, 2010, 01:18 PM »

I have the error message "Error saving list contents" each time I close Trout.
Trout wants to save playlist in \Program Files\trout\list.tpl but it is not compatible with UAC mode of Windows Vista/Seven. Can you please save the playlist file in the "Application Data" folder?
The "Save As" doesn't keep the folder path.
And please, don't tell me to launch Trout in admin mode.

-dsy (July 18, 2010, 02:41 AM)

Until I add code for this, you have two options:

1) Run Trout from a different folder that isn't UAC-protected.
2) Run Trout in admin mode (but you knew that).

Apologies for the late reply (I've been out of town).
