I just became a DC member to appreciate this REALLY REALLY wonderful program - Some credits coming your way :-)

Thanks for the kind words and the credits.  I appreciate both of them.  =]

Another suggestion: have the default contents of the popup's text box be the same as the previous entry's, but pre-selected, so that if the user starts typing it will be replaced by the new text, but if the user presses End and Enter, it will repeat (or even more helpful but trickier for you, just Enter to repeat.) This would be useful when one is working on the same project for a long stretch of time. Thanks!

I can make an option for this.

Can you add options to toggle these? The titlebar updating causes the window to flicker every second when using bblean+bbleanskin, and I like the cleaner look of the original popup. (Yes, I know I'm one of two, maybe three dudes using bblean and Anuran.)

I actually tested it with bbLeanSkin and it didn't flicker for me but, yes, I can make them options.  I wasn't totally happy with the statusbar, either.

Minor request: Using hotkey to toggle popup timer pause should trigger sound event (auditory feedback).

Can do.

I'm not having much luck using Korean text with Anuran.
Anyone else have a similar experience?

Anuran is not Unicode capable at this time.

v1.0.16 - 2010-01-06
    * The popup now updates the timestamp in the titlebar.  (Thanks, mediaguycouk)
    + The intial popup time is now shown in the popup's statusbar.
    + Added "About" and "Check for updates" to the tray menu.  (Thanks, jdmarch)
    ! All hotkeys were not properly disabled when the Options dialog was open.  (Thanks, jdmarch)
    ! Enter/ctrl-enter for the popup was improperly disabled while the Options dialog was open.  (Thanks, jdmarch)


1. Anuview. It seems awkward that the log files are arranged newest first, but the entries in each file are arranged oldest first.

Do you mean the log filenames in the list?  If so, mine are listed oldest to newest (top to bottom).  The initial listing is going to be dependent on the filename/timestamp format you've chosen for the log files.

It would be great to have an option to show the entries newest first too.

This is actually somewhat harder than it sounds since the format is so plain-text.  I've added it to my ToDo, though.  I should be able to add it to the next version.

It would be very nice to be able to specify the archive time (mod the archive interval) as an option.

This is a really good idea and I've added it to the ToDo as well.

3. FYI... DCUpdater saw that an update was needed from 13 to 15 but "get updated failed" repeatedly. I updated manually. DCUpdater always works ok for me with FARR.

Hmmm...seemed to work for me on my production install.

4. Suggest that About and maybe Update Check commands be available from tray menu.

Added in v1.0.16 above.  I also fixed the bug you reported in your earlier post.  Thanks for the feedback.

As the seconds are not displayed on the title screen is it worth updating it every second?

Actually, I do, since the user can configure a timestamp that includes seconds.

Also seeing as you have asked for new comments to be made in this thread you may want to change the forum link in the about section to this page rather than the coding snacks section.

Doh!  Fixed in v1.0.15!  Thanks!

Could I suggest that the time in the pop-up box update?
It correctly logs then time when submitting but it seems strange to come back to my desk at 15:00 to see a message saying log entry 12:29

I was aware of this issue and, sure, I can make it so the titlebar updates.  This entails updating the titlebar every second and, while it's not nearly as CPU intensive as it may sound, there will be a bit more CPU used while the popup is active.  Honestly, I don't think it'll even be an issue but I'd like to hear what others think before I implement this.

Just a minor feature request, so if you don't think it's worth it I'll just try and edit it so the time doesn't show.

You can modify the timestamp format of the popup box to not show the time in the meanwhile.

Post New Requests Here / Re: IDEA: "Compress each folder to separate archive"
« Last post by skwire on January 03, 2010, 09:42 PM »
Hey, skwire, I guess adding it to SpinZip would work as long as I could drag-n-drop a handful of folders onto it and have it zip each dragged folder individually. Of course, I would prefer if it used RAR, but if that's not an option, ZIP works.

Regarding RAR support in SpinZip, I would have added it long ago if not for the license:
   5. The RAR/WinRAR unlicensed trial version may be freely distributed,
      with exceptions noted below, provided the distribution package is not
      modified in any way.
     
      a.  No person or company may distribute separate parts of the package
          with the exception of the UnRAR components, without written
          permission of the copyright owner.
     
      b.  The RAR/WinRAR unlicensed trial version may not be distributed
          inside of any other software package without written permission
          of the copyright owner.

Meanwhile, while I was at the Skwire Empire, I downloaded Trout and I'm testing it out right now. I think I'm going to love it. Besides everything else, it's CPU usage is barely registering on Process Explorer. That's important to me as a web developer since I'm usually running Firefox, IE, Safari, Chrome and Opera when I'm building and they're all resource hogs. A lot of times, I have to work with no music at all since iTunes and even MediaMonkey use magnitudes more cycles than Trout. Working without music = Horrors!

Good to hear you're liking Trout; that one has been a fun project over the past year.

@Target: Thanks! It's not very obvious but, you're right! There is an option built-in to WinRAR which allows you to do what I need it to do. It's on the attached screenshot.
It even works, sort-of, from the right-click menu. When you select a bunch of folders (or files) then right-click and choose Add to archive..., when you switch to the Files tab, the files are pre-entered in the Files to add field. It's just a matter of checking the Put each file to separate archive box and it's doing exactly what I needed it to.

Grrr...now see?  I've known, and used, this option in the past within WinRAR but I never realised that it would work with folder names as well.  Good to know for future use.

For the record, I removed the duplicate thread of this one.

I could write you an app that would do what you want but it's not going to have the full shell integration you're requesting.  Basically, you would have a source and destination folder and a few zipfile options.  Heck, I could even add your method to SpinZip, another Coding Snack I wrote.  Your thoughts?

I realize that one can set the columns to auto but it would be nice if the app remembered whatever sizing was last set.
When trying this out I dragged columns around to the dimensions that I wanted, but on restart the interface reset to default.
