Yes, this is a recurring issue that is sporadic enough that it's hard to code around.  Let me see what I can do about stripping any trailing newlines.

Here's the 7-zip version: Download

Let me know if that works out better for you.

I appreciate all of the testing you've done.  Based off of what I see, would you like me to switch to the 7-zip.exe?  It seems that one gave you the fewest problems.

I did some tests under Vista. Alas they were not all successful, I keep getting the following error : "The following files had problems extracting:".

-jity2 (January 20, 2010, 01:50 AM)

Hmmm...was it not listing the zip files it had problems with?  Did it unzip anything successfully?

Example: I used spinzip (great program !) to create 10Mb zip files (with compression = 5) in folder "1 OT1", it worked without errors and created 17 zip files.
Then I used "RecurUnZip.ahk" and asked to unpack files in the same folder and got errors (see image "iz" below. All the subfolders have been created but they are empty)

-jity2 (January 20, 2010, 01:50 AM)

That is odd.  I just did the same test with SpinZip and RecurUnZip...and both worked perfectly.

Thank you for the nice program.
It would be nicer if it supported Arabic as my entered text appears as question marks.

-mohamedm (January 19, 2010, 05:24 AM)

You're welcome, mohamedm.  Apologies for the lack of Unicode support.  The last time I checked, the Unicode version of AutoHotkey didn't support file I/O yet so I'm not sure I could make it work even if I compiled Anuran with that version.  I'll try to find some time to check into it.

Give this a try (source/binary included): Download



1) Unpack that to a folder and run RecurUnZip.exe (or RecurUnZip.ahk if you have AutoHotkey installed).
2) Select a source and destination folder.
3) Click the "Unpack files" button.

Let me know how it works for you.  Thanks.

You can use any of the number of string encrypting functions on the AutoHotkey forums but if somebody has access to your source code, they can easily debug it right after your string is decrypted and see what your password is anyway.

This would be a piece of cake to write in AHK using unrar.exe.  I envision this having two fields and button:

1) Source folder.
2) Destination folder.
3) Button to initiate the unzipping.

Also, one would have to use the option to unzip each archive to its own folder.  Would you agree?

I am glad to see you're still maintaining Trout. I remember trying it on my XP but cannot remember what it was like. I am installing it on Vista right now ;-)

-Curt (January 18, 2010, 07:38 AM)

Since you're trying it out I suppose I should say that the database functionality I mentioned in my previous post isn't available publicly yet.  I still need to polish it up a bit for general release.

Jackpot!!! I should have tested this. It worked on the early releases, but does not now.

-jdmarch (January 17, 2010, 07:45 PM)

Are you running Vista or Windows 7 and are running Anuran from the Program Files folder?  If so, maybe Anuran is having trouble writing to that folder?  If that turns out to be the case, could you try testing it from another folder outside of the Program Files one?

because when I finally returned to my computer I realized the bottom line was telling that the program now was re-writing the tags!

-Curt (January 17, 2010, 05:26 PM)

Wow.  If a program EVER did that to my files without my express permission, I would be PISSED OFF.  I'm am a huge stickler for correct tags and have spent, over the years, countless hours tagging my files how I want them tagged.  As for the scanning taking hours, that's not cool either.  I've written a database function into Trout that takes only around 50 minutes to scan my entire collection (~87,000 files) and that's whilst scanning over my local LAN since my music is stored on a file server.  It would be even quicker if my files were on a local drive.

Curt, did you ever hear back from Playlist Creator's author about your request to add the total play time for a playlist?

Gah...I really don't know what is causing it not to archive since all the tests I've done have worked for me. 

1) You mentioned that your computer is on 24/7 (so is mine) but it's not in some kind of sleep/hibernate mode at 3:30 a.m., right? 
2) Does the "Archive now" button work for you?

« Last post by skwire on January 15, 2010, 09:25 AM »

1. I just checked with Anuview and see that even though I set the option to archive at 3:30 a.m. each day, my current.anu has now accumulated 4 days of entries.
2. When I look at the change log in the about folder, it only shows changes through "v1.0.11 - 2009-11-18" i.e. the changelog which is in the res folder, not the correct one which is in the program folder.
3. I think it's unwise to default to putting log files under program files, since they contain user data. Many backup protocols do not backup any Program Files. Likewise it would be more friendly if the config.ini were under one of the Application folders.

-jdmarch (January 15, 2010, 07:07 AM)

1) Hmmm...I will do some more testing on this.  Sorry about that.  May I assume you run your computer 24/7 i.e. it's actually on at 3:30 a.m.?
2) Maybe something went screwy with my build process.  The current changelog.txt gets compiled into the Anuran.exe and extracted into the /res folder each time you start up Anuran.  I can't seem to make it act like you're describing.
3) We're going to have to disagree here.  I much prefer my apps to keep their stuff in their own folder.  At the very least, this keeps them portable.

no, I was just opening dcupdater (or maybe it opened itself..)
It would be helpful though (but no big deal!) if it were in there by default - or can it be added manually - that way, whenever dcupdater does open, it would check if Anuran needs an update

-tomos (January 15, 2010, 06:31 AM)

I believe that, if you use the option within Anuran one time, it will show up when you launch DCUpdater manually.

I'm wondering should it not show in the dcupdater window? (It doesnt here).

-tomos (January 15, 2010, 06:15 AM)

It should if you launch the update check from the "Help, Check for updates" menu entry.  Is that what you're doing?
