General Software Discussion / find duplicate songs by scanning folders with mp3 files

« Last post by anandcoral on July 14, 2016, 10:47 PM »

Hello,

I have a collection of mp3 files. When I play them, I find that duplicate songs are there, but have different file name, size etc.
Googling gave me idea that I need some "audio fingerprinting" but I could not find any win exe which will scan file mp3 folders and give me a list of duplicate mp3 files.

I got lots of android or win programs which will "listen" and not scan for it. Also found Python / Perl codes for it.

Is there a win exe available as I require ?

Regards,

Anand

General Software Discussion / HamMultiPlayer

« Last post by anandcoral on July 04, 2016, 05:03 AM »

Found this HamMultiPlayer http://hammultiplayer.org/
"If you want to : search, preview, watch, manage, sort, copy, move or delete media files, this software might interest you"

I was looking for something like this to check my holiday video collection, at a glance. The author Barnuble has done very good job and looks very promising.

Hope some of us will find it very useful.

It's Like a piece of  carbon paper stuck to my shoe>  Perfect!       I hate the pool-table green color but I bet that can be changed.  This is as close as I can imagine anything being to exactly what I described.

Happy that you found it useful.

You can change the background color by clicking on M (menu) and selecting Interface tab, see screen shot.

Hi questorfla,

I have faced the same situations and wanted the same things. Many a site and also some software (aka folder lock etc.) require password with capital, number and special characters which makes entering them complicated behind asterisks.

I have been locked out in two/three situation, although I can swear that I was correct still I was left swearing against the site.

I found one solution and created another one.

1. I use JC&MB Quicknote http://www.quicknote.de/quicknoteen.php and enable "Focusless input". After that when I type in the password box the letters are auto typed in the quicknote box, which I can see and confirm if it is correct or not.

2. I type the password in a new notepad window. Copy it and use Paste Text Like https://sites.google.com/site/pastetextlike/ to "Mimic Typing" on the password box, since these password box do not allow copy-paste. Then I close the notepad window without saving.

I now use the point 1 above when I am creating a new account and need to enter a new password. And the point 2 when I am entering the password in a website.

See if they can be of any help.

Regards,

Anand

Living Room / Why material design was designed !!

« Last post by anandcoral on June 17, 2016, 11:52 AM »

In my humble knowledge, Google required a very bare minimum interface for its Android, as cheap mobiles have less power and battery. More the graphics more the strain on CPU and battery. Then MS copied it for its Win10, same reason for its WinPhone and Surface tablet. It is like having sheets of paper with text written on them. Some may have different color or a box drawn around them but most are just plain text.

But for God's shake, think of desktop users. We do not have problem with cpu and battery. 

I really feel pissed off when I have to waste time just touching clicking at all places in finding the place which will act like a "Button"!!! 

See the few screen shots attached.











In IOBit Uninstaller, CCleaner and MS Settings. We can clearly see that in trying to be material design friendly, they give us high time in playing the game of puzzle to find out which "text" clicked will do what ??

Setting taking so much screen space that it has to be scrolled to get further options, which could have fit in one screen itself. Then blue text is button (Identify) but the bix blue box with 1 is not. ( I have clicked it many times)
CCleaner tab page highlight is reverse, the grey one is not the active tab page.
IOBit needed me couple of time before I understood how to click to uninstall a program. I am not taking about the big circle below, but the program list lines.
Second image of IOBit showing another window over the first one, but looks like it is one window and can not be moved.

In my Android phone, many are becoming material design and I understand their problem and I have to manage there but I do not want to play game on my desktop. Please give me back my buttons, bevel, shadows.

Regards,

Anand

General Software Discussion / Re: Examples of great, intuitive, clever UI design?

« Last post by anandcoral on May 09, 2016, 12:22 PM »

Hi JavaJones,

if you are adventurous I will suggest the following,
1. Use mouse hover action
2. Bigger buttons or images in place of buttons
3. Change color / image on click or mouse hover
4. Show window in slide and close in fade ways
5. Play some small ding dong
6. All messages, even error ones should be funny, like you are saying to your pals.
etc.

I used to make the above even in DOS, yes. Box graphics to open and slide away, etc.

But as Mouser said, keep an option 'Disable Animation/CPU hog etc.', as user will very soon want a simple cleaner interface to get the job done fast.

Note : Games do not count here. They MUST be very bold in graphics and music.

Regards,

Anand

T-Clock / Re: T-Clock 2010 (download)

« Last post by anandcoral on February 26, 2016, 10:12 AM »

T-Clock is working OK.

I have given two line string for date and time with larger font. This way the taskbar height remain default and I get to see full date and time at a glance.

The top white line in the image is of DC forum which got captured.

Below images are better to explain.

T-Clock / Re: T-Clock 2010 (download)

« Last post by anandcoral on February 25, 2016, 12:10 PM »

Well, T-Clock is one of the first I install in every machine I work. From WinXp to Win10 now.

In WinXp I used to keep double size taskbar icons which gave amble height to have bigger font for T_Clock, better for my eyes. Also I wanted to see the day of the week at a glance, which it helps to achieve 

Win10 the taskbar icons are by default double size so same configuration fits here too.

Well I jumped in Fb and Twit pool at last.

I wanted to "follow" DC from both but alas I was all wet but could not reach my destination.

I looks so bad that even small kids are splashing water everywhere, I am struggling to find my way. I am getting old.

Please throw the life line and tell me how to swim to follow DC, as googling did not help.

If HE decides to reformat, then obviously Noah will carry two of all.

How about having two programs for each languages, C#, Java, Code-C, DotNet etc. ? It would help rebuild our must have programs and Forums faster then. Instead of watching soaps on CRT TV or we better start with YouTube streaming on mobiles.

Huh, huh..

I started it anticipating some funny suggestion from friends. Thought "Living Room" was best place for it. But looks like I may be wrong.

I am a believer. I believe, it is Almighty GOD who has given me so much name and fame today. Before joining DC I was just a coder whom nobody knew. I will remain grateful to DC forever.

But I do not want to lose a friend just because I wanted to smile and get away from my hectic coding schedule. Please move this thread to basement or so and bring back our friend.

« Last post by anandcoral on January 20, 2016, 09:54 AM »

We all should petition GOD for a better version. Even M$ listened the users and made Win10 from Win8 !

The first feature I want is 48 or more hours per day. You can not imagine the pressure of NANY near the end, due to this limitation 
Second it would be better if we can run more instances of ourselves 

There are more but I leave others to add.

« Last post by anandcoral on January 20, 2016, 09:46 AM »

This might be of interest. It is something similar that I cribbed together from someone else's existing script(s) a while back. I've used it for a few years.

-IainB (January 19, 2016, 09:21 PM)

Yes, even Park Cursor Aside can be achieved by similar code. Actually I make this type of raw codes and use them as and when I need something that I can not find from net. Afterwards when I feel that it may help other too, I try to convert it in a proper app and put in NANY.

Well living in this world of IT industry, it has become my habit to check if new update of so and so has come up or not. Win10 updates itself and do not even tell me what has become new !!

But the world ! It still has 24 hours in a day. Hey come one we need more time for facebook, twitter, coding etc. and then we have to live also. I think GOD should update the world and add more features to it. What you say ?

Thank you Ath and all members who have donated me for Move Aside Please.

I have made Move Aside Please in just last 4 days, so the settings option is a bit primitive. But I am happy that users have liked it and Move Aside Please has be written about in different blogs and download sites, even in non-english sites, within these few days. Thanks all to DC 

My next priority is to make the settings more user friendly. Maybe give some more options, if possible.

N.A.N.Y. 2016 / NANY 2016 Release: Move Aside Please

« Last post by anandcoral on December 30, 2015, 02:14 PM »

NANY 2016 Entry Information

Application Name	Move Aside Please
Version	1.0.0
Short Description	Moves a window aside when mouse pointer is placed on it. You can also make the window semi-transparent.
Supported OSes	WinXp and above
Web Page	https://sites.google...ite/moveasideplease/
Download Link	https://sites.google...asideplease/download

Description
During our work, many times we need to keep a small window of a program always on top of the desktop screen. This program may show network connection, mail status, auto updating messages etc. Now when we are working on some full screen program like editor, browser etc., this small window block the view of the part of the editor or browser.

Instead of closing or removing the small window, I wanted it to move aside from view when I hover the mouse cursor on it. This way I can easily view the blocked part of the editor or browser.

I could not find any such program by Googling, so I made "Move Aside Please".

Features
The window automatically moves up or down, when the mouse cursor hover over it. We can set the window titles which needs to be moved. Instead of moving the window, we can reduce its opacity, i.e. make it semi-transparent.

Anand
