I don't know if you're a programmer at all but I think the issue here is that this is not nearly as easy as it might seem.

Great.   :D  This turned out to be a neat little app.  Thanks for the idea.

It works fine with mounted images functioning as optical drives.  I have two drives in my computer and mounted two other ISOs.  All four showed up fine in your app.

Skrommel's WinWarden or ZoneSize, perhaps?

MINOR BUG: When using the 'pause' feature, initiating a manual popup with the appropriate hotkey fails (sound event only). When Anuran is paused, I should still be able to call up the popup on my own without disabling the pause.

v1.0.12 - 2009-11-18
    * Changed it so that, even with the timer paused, you can still bring up the
      popup via hotkey or tray menu.  (Thanks, doctorfrog)

v1.0.11 - 2009-11-18
    + Added single-click/double-click option for the tray icon.  (Thanks, tomos)
    + Added popup pause functionality to the tray menu.  If pause is enabled, the
      tray icon will turn blue.  Any configured sound effect will continue to play
      but the popup will not be shown until you disable the pause.  (Thanks, Ransom &
      doctorfrog)
    + Added configurable hotkey for new popup pause functionality.  Options, Hotkeys
      tab.  (Thanks, Ransom)
    * Changed tray menu order slightly.
    * AnuVu v1.0.7
        + Added toolbar.
        + Added "Select all/Deselect all" entries to the logfile pane context
          menu.  (Thanks, doctorfrog)
        * Changed File menu entry to: Save current view to file


This build ought to address almost all outstanding requests.  Screenshot showing new toolbar on AnuVu:

Feature Request: I find that there are times when I don't want Anuran to pop up as it normally does - For instance if I'm using a fullscreen application.
I could just close Anuran and re-open it when I'm done, but I'd prefer a "Pause" option on the tray icon's right-click menu.
Ideally there would also be a hotkey to toggle pause on and off.
It may also be useful to have a user-configurable "auto-resume" so that the user doesn't forget to unpause, but this isn't critical.
Even without this, Anuran is a great little app. Good work!

A pause option is certainly doable...maybe change the icon to the a red frog or something.  A hotkey for such is easy as well.  I'll add both of these items to my ToDo.  The auto-resume idea is certainly doable but I think some things ought to be left to the responsibility of the user.  Thanks for the feedback.  I appreciate it.

I'm easy - actually I think 'as is' is best - you might have many files showing in viewer but it only opens last selected in Notepad anyways.

I was just trying to think of a way to make it clear to new users - I guess something like Dr.Frog suggested might be clearer (in the menu) - "Open selected file in Notepad" (?)

I changed the default to that but, in case you didn't realise it, you can change the menu text to whatever you like.

I believe that mass export into plaintext is on the todo list anyway, which will reach the same end, with the added benefit that they'll also be a little bit easier to read. In the meantime, 'export current view to file' mostly fulfills that desire anyway.

Right, the "Export current view to file" ought to cover most things so, I'm curious, how did you want the mass export to work?

Speaking of which:
- Feature request: AnuVu: select all/select none capability in logfile pane. This can be relegated to an Edit menu, or appended to the File menu.
- To Discuss: what are your thoughts on a buttoned toolbar in AnuVu? I personally don't need it, but do you think users will want it?

1. Will add in the next build.
2. Yes, a toolbar is planned.  I dig toolbars.  =]

Okay, I've figured it out :) - I presumed it opened the currently ticked file(s) but it opens currently selected files

Doh...sorry for the confusion.

PS: another 'icing' request - that single (left) mouse-click on systray icon would also popup the menu

I can make another general option that will let the user choose between single and double-clicking the tray icon.  Will that be acceptable?

I updated, started app, opened AnuVu from the tray:
I was able to look at "current.anu" which, as it happens, was still the one from friday (I have it set to archive log every one day :-\ - I didnt have Anuran running over the weekend btw). I havent checked it properly - will check tomorrow to make sure it archives. It would be nice (for my use anyway) if it archived at the end of each calender day - I'm not sure with "archive logs every [1] day(s)" - does that mean calendar day or 24 hours after the option is first set?

This behaviour should be corrected in v1.0.8.  Let me know if it doesn't archive properly from now on.

Anyways, I manually archived via options - made a few test entries & opened viewer. Looks good, I tried to open the current file in Notepad (via menu) - got a message
---------------------------
Notepad
---------------------------
Cannot find the .txt file.

Do you want to create a new file?
---------------------------
Yes   No   Cancel   
---------------------------

Ahhh, okay - it only opens archived files - maybe that could somehow be made clear? Or could it be possible to open current.anu?

Hmmm...it should open the current.anu just fine (if it exists).  All I'm doing is passing the list of paths to the configured editor.  I just tested it with regular notepad and it worked for a single file.  More capable editors can handle multiple files passed to them.

Thanks for the credits; I appreciate it.

v1.0.10 - 2009-11-16
    * Moved \res directory to application directory instead of user's temp
      folder.  (Thanks, doctorfrog)
    * AnuVu v1.0.6
        * Moved \res directory to application directory instead of user's temp
          folder.  (Thanks, doctorfrog)


- Request: Are we  embedding metadata dates into the logfiles? If so, let's have AnuVu display those dates in columns in the log file pane, so they can be sorted accordingly. Columns: Created, Archived. Timestamp format can be arbitrary for easier parsing.
- Request: AnuVu remembers last sort settings in logfile pane. (if possible, still keeping current.anu on the top)

1.  Sorting the entries themselves will be painful but I'll try.
2.  I'll see what I can do about this one.

The issue is that you do not have the Webdings font installed.  It's usually installed by default when you install Windows (unless you're running some sort of custom lean install).  Which OS are you using?

Skwire, could you also note in the changelog when you alter the logging format? You don't have to be super-specific, just a heads-up.

Absolutely.  However, I may not have to.  I was just throwing it out there that it may have to change since we're still very early in the development phase.

I've been working on the word-wrap feature but there is a snag.  In AHK, that property can't be toggled without re-creating the GUI.  So, would a settable option be acceptable?  I'm probably going to add an AnuVu tab to Anuran's option interface...it would go there.

Bug: AnuVu displays logfile entries with repeating dates (logfile itself is fine):

Please attach the .anu file that does this.

Request (minor): Is it possible to keep current.anu always on top of the sorted list?
Request: User-configurable hotkey to launch AnuVu. (Options>Hotkeys tab)
Request: User option: Double-click on tray icon launches AnuVu, or Popup. (Popup by default.)

1-3. Added to the ToDo.

minor window bug (I think)

  • Launch AnuVu
  • Maximise window
  • Close
  • Relaunch - it's full screen
  • Click the middle button for 'Normal' window - window stays full screen size

so I guess it's not remembering previous normal window size (or do apps usually have a default normal window size?)

AnuVu remembers the size and position of its window when it closes.  So, if it's maximised, it remembers those coordinates and, on start, moves and sizes the window according to those saved values.  It doesn't remember the maximised state.  I never maximise a window so I guess I don't notice these things much.   :)  I have hotkeys that move/resize windows into various locations.

That being said, I'll see what I can do about it.

1) I think any feature requests I make at this stage are icing ;)
so...
 ~ Option in AnuVu to launch file in default (or custom) text editor ?

2) Also: Confirm Dr.Frog's report above - viewer showing double date/times

3) I'm wondering out loud here - if there's any way of stripping out the dates in a text editor - may seem like an odd idea - but I'm still unsure how I might use the programme in the future - & for some possible uses the times might just get in the way.
I'm not that familiar with find and replace - maybe if some editor can use wildcard (*) and removes from the ยง to the carriage return (I think Textmaker can do that actually)

1. Added to the ToDo.
2. Please attach your .anu file.
3. Most text editors can do a regex match and replace.

As I get deeper into writing AnuVu, I may make some minor changes to the .anu format.  I say this because it will most likely break compatibility with previous .anu files.  Since it's early, I hope you two haven't saved too much important data in your .anu files.  =]
