Finished Programs / Re: IDEA: Shell extension to show total play time of media clips

lanux, here you go.  The only column you can't hide is the Filename colum.

v1.1.4 - 2009-08-01
    + Added ability to choose which columns are displayed.  You can find it
      under the View menu.  (Thanks, lanux128)
    * Moved the "Say total time" to the Extra menu.

Would it be possible to have the Filename column self-adjusting as it was before

-MilesAhead (July 31, 2009, 11:43 PM)

Done.

I promise this is the last adjustment request(unless you can get it to pick winning Lotto numbers)

-MilesAhead (July 31, 2009, 11:43 PM)

  Don't worry about requests.  I enjoy these sorts of apps.

a way to customize the columns would be nice. i'd like to request for the ability to hide certain columns.

-lanux128 (August 01, 2009, 12:09 AM)

If I add this, I'd have to do it like I do in Trout and other apps I've written that use a listview.  Basically, I just zero-width any column you want to "hide".  It's still there but you just don't see it.

Hmmmm, if you add audio and video codec then you'd have just about all the pertinent info from MediaInfo. The other thing, if I reposition the columns it seems to forget the order if I close and open the app.  Could you persist the column order?

-MilesAhead (July 30, 2009, 01:30 PM)

Done.

v1.1.2 - 2009-07-31
    + Column order and widths are now saved.  (Thanks, MilesAhead)
    + Added a few more data columns.

Looks like they're both pretty accurate in terms of time.  Within a second, anyway.  Were you wanting more columns in PlayTime?

    + Added a "Do not display files that report 00:00" checkbox.

v1.0.8 - 2009-07-27
    + Added a shell extension option under the "Extra" menu.  This
      will install an "Add to PlayTime" entry in the context menu.

Works for me   

-MilesAhead (July 27, 2009, 04:19 PM)

Did you try both?  Or just the shell option?

Finished Programs / Re: IDEA: Shell extension to show total play time of media clips

« Last post by skwire on July 27, 2009, 04:05 PM »

I just added a shell extension option as well as commandline support for adding files/folders.  If you'd like to test, download the latest snapshot build:  Download v1.0.7.56

To use the shell extension, simply enable it from the "Extra" menu.  Once enabled, you should see a new "Add to PlayTime" option when you right click a selection of files/folders in your file manager.  The commandline stuff should be the standard [c:\path\to\PlayTime.exe "%1"] where %1 equals the files/folders you want to load.

Both options seem to work for me under XP SP2 but I'd appreciate feedback if they work on your system as well.

this is an excellent little app, skwire! many thanks!
would you consider adding the ability to send files to it via the command line? i would love to add a button in Directory Opus to send selected media files to PlayTime.
 

-garbanzo (July 27, 2009, 03:18 AM)

Thanks for the compliments.  Would a standard context menu option be sufficient?  Right-click a selection -->  Add to PlayTime.

« Last post by skwire on July 25, 2009, 01:56 PM »

My Intention was a pixel count. I think it is good for sorting HighRes and LowRes pictures.

-Lebewesen (July 25, 2009, 01:13 PM)

Ahh, that makes much more sense.  Sure, I can do this.

Finished Programs / Re: IDEA: Sort images into folders based on resolution

« Last post by skwire on July 25, 2009, 11:33 AM »

My idea is to calculate "with X heigh" and truncate the last 3 to 6 digits
  800 *   600 = 480k
1024 *   768 = 786k
1920 * 1200 =    2M or 2.3M

-Lebewesen (July 25, 2009, 10:50 AM)

Hmmm...multiplying the width times the height is not a good indicator of file size.  Did you maybe mean a rounded off total pixel count?

As I understand your program - I'll get diffrent direcorys for landscaped and portrait as it is right now? This is also be good if I want to filter landscape and portait.

-Lebewesen (July 25, 2009, 10:50 AM)

Yes, that would be the case.

« Last post by skwire on July 25, 2009, 05:55 AM »

Another idea for the program: To sort in folders with the "size" of the picture - for an 800*600 or 600*800 picture in 480k or something like that.

-Lebewesen (July 25, 2009, 05:11 AM)

This could be done.  However, there would have to be some rounding involved because, otherwise, you'd likely end up with one folder per image unless the size was exactly the same for given images.  Follow me?
