N.A.N.Y. 2009 / Re: NANY 2009 Release: Trout (audio player)

« Last post by skwire on October 29, 2009, 10:10 AM »

v1.0.3 build 154 - 2009-10-29
    + Added album art to the bottom of the lyrics window.
    + Added code to try and prevent accidental unwanted double-clicks on the listview.
    + Lyrics window now handles a third format from http://lyrics.wikia.com.  I wish they would just re-introduce the API.  Grrr.
    + Added a new command-line parameter: /add  (Thanks, tanis)
      Here's how it works now...
      1) If you pass a path to Trout on the commandline, it will clear the list
         before adding the tracks e.g.  c:\path\to\trout.exe c:\myMusic
      2) If you use the new /add parameter, it will NOT clear out the list before
         adding the new path e.g.  c:\path\to\trout.exe /add c:\myMusic

v1.0.3 build 105 - 2009-10-10
    + Playlist search now searches on filename (in addition to the previous artist/album/song tags).  (Thanks, srikat).

All my stuff is written in AHK.  http://skwire.dcmembers.com/

In regards to the multi-select issue, I did add an option that will let you recursively add the selected folder.  Maybe that will help.

However, I could make the treeview control have checkboxes that would allow such behaviour.

-skwire (October 29, 2009, 04:22 AM)

Well, crap, maybe not.  The problem is that AHK's TreeView control is somewhat limited; EVERY thing has to be handled manually.  It makes it very difficult to use it to display and manipulate a disk's folder structure without scanning the WHOLE disk structure first.

Thanks heaps for your help,
This is about 10 times better than what I first thought of.

-Fred Nerd (October 29, 2009, 04:03 AM)

Great, I hoped I was going in the right direction.

Yep, thats exactly what I wanted. Can you multipe select folders in the tree view and transfer them in one go?

-Fred Nerd (October 29, 2009, 04:03 AM)

Hmmm...no, not by control-selecting.  However, I could make the treeview control have checkboxes that would allow such behaviour.  Would this be acceptable?

As always, we're going to need a name for this Coding Snack.  <queue in Cranioscopical's entry music>

Apologies for this taking so long.  Here's a sample of where the GUI is at:



I think you can see where it's headed.

• That bottom-right listview will be your "collection" list.
• You can add entire folders of files from the treeview on the left.
• You can pick-and-choose files from the upper-right treeview to add to your collection.
• You can drag-and-drop files/folders from other file managers onto the collection list.

After your list is where you want it, you will then be able to copy it out to a folder of your choice.  Is this close to what you had in mind?

v1.0.2 - 2009-10-27
    * Loading a folder from the shell now populates both the source and
      destination fields.  (Thanks, paarkhi)
    * Made "Move files to destination" the default.  (Thanks, paarkhi)
    ! Source folder added via shell extension didn't work properly.
    ! Dragging a folder to the destination folder field cleared out
      the source folder field.  (Thanks, paarkhi)

Next question...the standard Windows folder selection dialog doesn't allow multiple selections.  This is the dialog I'm talking about:



However, the standard Windows file selection dialog does allow mutiple selections within its view using the standard control/shift-select modifiers:



I can use either, both or try to come up with a custom treeview that has checkboxes to allow you multiple folder selection via a tree.  Also, the app will support drag&drop of files and folders as well.  Your thoughts before I proceed?

So a simple Open folder window (allowing multiple folders to be selected)
Then read all files from inside
Select destination folder and then copy all files to there.

-Fred Nerd (October 24, 2009, 08:47 PM)

Do you want all the files copied into one destination folder (flat) or did you want the directories' structures selected preserved?

May I request you the 'Shell Extension' please

-paarkhi (October 25, 2009, 04:09 AM)

Sure, I can add this.

and can we sort it out on more than one token or only single token is allowed, if yes then please show us how, and if not can you add it please?

-paarkhi (October 25, 2009, 04:09 AM)

If I understand you correctly, yes, you can.  Let's assume a destination directory of "C:\Music".  For instance, if you use a template like this: $artist\[$year] $album    
That backslash will let you create a folder structure like:

C:
+---Music
|   +---U2
|   |   \---[1987] The Joshua Tree

Or, you can use a template like this:  $artist - $album
This will create a folder like:

C:\Music\U2 - The Joshua Tree

Does that answer your question?

_{Edit: Fleshed out the examples a bit.}
