General Software Discussion / Re: NirLauncher tools package

So, would some kind soul like to stare at the file and tell me where I've gone wrong please.
-4wd (December 03, 2009, 10:00 PM)

You saved that NLP file as a UTF-16 and the NirSoft Launcher can't read it.  Re-save it as UTF-8, remove the package from NSL and re-add it.  Should work then.

Please try this bit of AHK code.  I've written it as a shell hook that should only allow one instance of Firefox to exist.

Code: AutoIt [Select]
  1. Gui +LastFound
  2. hWnd := WinExist()
  3. DllCall( "RegisterShellHookWindow", UInt, hWnd )
  4. MsgNum := DllCall( "RegisterWindowMessage", Str, "SHELLHOOK" )
  5. OnMessage( MsgNum, "ShellMessage" )
  6. DetectHiddenWindows, On
  7. SetTitleMatchMode, 2
  8.  
  9. ShellMessage( wParam, lParam )
  10. {
  11.     WinGetClass, myClass, ahk_id %lParam%
  12.    
  13.     If ( wParam = 1 ) ; HSHELL_WINDOWCREATED
  14.     {
  15.         If ( InStr( myClass, "MozillaUIWindowClass" ) )
  16.         {
  17.             WinGet, myList, List, ahk_class MozillaUIWindowClass
  18.             If ( myList > 1 )
  19.             {
  20.                 WinClose, % "ahk_id " . lParam
  21.             }

It works in the Quick Reply.  Highlight some text and click the "Quote" link.  You should see it down in the Quick Reply box.  In fact, you can keep selecting new text and clicking Quote each time to build out your quoted text.  Once you have all you wanted quoted, you can reply right there or click the Preview button to form your reply in the full reply page.

Finished Programs / Re: Scan music collection for missing covers/artwork
« Last post by skwire on November 30, 2009, 11:58 PM »
It detects the album name by the mp3 files themselves though, doesn't it? My music collection is organized so all MP3s are named Authorname - Songname.mp3, in one single folder.
-choicefresh (November 30, 2009, 11:41 PM)

No, again, it doesn't know or care about the album name; it assumes each folder is an album and looks for certain named image files within said folder.  I have FAR too many tracks to keep them all in one folder.

It wouldn't take too much to write you a utility that will do what you want.  How do you have your cover art named currently?

Oops, for some reason it wasn't copying correctly.  :-[
-choicefresh (November 30, 2009, 09:27 PM)

Ahh, great.  I thought that might be the case.

Suggestion: Could you add the ability to use it on a folder full of mp3s (no subfolders), and get the album name from the metadata?

CovArt Ops was designed from the start with the idea of one album per folder.  Therefore, it doesn't know or care about the actual album involved.  Did I misunderstand your suggestion?  If so, please explain it in more detail.

I used the MEncoder executable from the MPlayer package here: http://www.mplayerhq.hu

The command line that I used is similar to: mencoder.exe somefile.flv -of rawaudio -oac mp3lame -ovc copy -o somefile.mp3

I could tweak the MP3 settings if you'd like (bitrate/cbr/vbr) but I was trying to make this as simple as possible for your sister.  About the only other thing I can think to add would be to handle multiple files dropped on the executable (it only handles one for now).  Let me know what you want...

v1.0.0 - 2009-11-23
    + Initial forum build.

main.png


Instructions:
1) Drag & drop a video file onto this executable file.
2) An MP3 file will be created in the same directory as the executable.
3) It will use the same name as the dropped video file except with an mp3 extension.

I tested it with an AVI, MPG, and FLV file.  Obviously, the larger the file, the longer it will take to extract and produce the MP3.
