Post New Requests Here / Re: IDEA: Desktop progress meter
« Last post by skwire on April 13, 2009, 01:32 PM »
possible request: use a standard file format for configuration (xml?) so that alternative tools could also use the same configuration files?
-mouser (April 12, 2009, 11:50 PM)
I wasn't planning on it but I went ahead and implemented it.  It currently looks like this:

Code: Text [Select]
  1. <?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
  2. <meters version="1.0">
  3.   <meter>
  4.     <title>Groping for Truth</title>
  5.     <type>articles</type>
  6.     <number>6</number>
  7.     <total>8</total>
  8.     <bar_fg_color>Blue</bar_fg_color>
  9.     <bar_bg_color>Aqua</bar_bg_color>
  10.   </meter>
  11.   <meter>
  12.     <title>The Swordsmith's Son</title>
  13.     <type>words</type>
  14.     <number>6486</number>
  15.     <total>12000</total>
  16.     <bar_fg_color>Purple</bar_fg_color>
  17.     <bar_bg_color>Fuchsia</bar_bg_color>
  18.   </meter>
  19. </meters>

Apologies for the delay in providing something tangible to play with; I just need to implement a few more things before releasing the first version.  As always...any ideas on a name for this?

The page that generated the original code is linked above. The image is from static code I edited by hand to set the numbers and percentages, so I'm not sure if that's what you're looking for. As far as that goes, I have no problem with standard Windows controls; I just found this and thought I'd try it out to see how easily it worked.

Apologies, I missed the link you gave beforehand.  Here's what I had in mind:

I was going to write the meters using standard Windows controls but, if you would like it done via HTML like this, please send me the HTML you used.  I still plan to use a listview to allow management of the meters but I can dynamically generate your HTML from it.

I've got some ideas rolling around in my head for coding this up.  I think it's quite a bit more than a coding snack, though.

1) How many meters were you thinking of?
2) I was thinking of a main listview that would aggregrate all the meters' information.  The meter GUIs themselves would be based off of this.

Feature Request: Is there any way to have a kind of secondary and tertiary sorting of the playlist, so it can sort the playlist by (for example) the artist, album, track number in that order?
-Deozaan (March 30, 2009, 01:03 AM)
I don't believe this is (easily) possible with the standard listview that AHK uses.  I get around this by using a well-structured directory layout for my music collection.

a simple utility for people with less computer knowledge, that can enable the mic and raise mic volume up when double clicked
-Learning (April 01, 2009, 02:00 AM)

By enable, I assume you mean "unmute", right?  Also, what do you want to raise the volume to?  100%?  75%?

Apologies for the lack of replies over the past few days; I've been playing in a hockey tournament all weekend. Five games in three days...woohoo.

Also posted on the AHK forums, based on a similar but unrelated request by Drugwash, a possible new feature might be cross-fading between tracks.  Just a suggestion for my new favorite audio player.
-SoggyDog (March 26, 2009, 05:56 PM)

Added to my list.  Thanks.

Thanks for everything skwire.  I greatly appreciate that you not only consider all the suggestions given to you in the forums, but you actually make many, many, many of those suggestions come to fruition.  You, sir, are a rock star!
-SoggyDog (March 26, 2009, 05:56 PM)

You're welcome.  This has been a fun project.

Just started and enabled Internet Access->Enabled Last.FM checkbox->clicked on username field.

@skwire
If you're entertaining this idea, also consider the flip side... A wake-up alarm could be a nice feature as well.
You could set a time, playlist/song/folder, and a wake-up volume that might be different than "normal" listening volume;
Volume settings might even include a gradual rise as not to startle you awake.
-SoggyDog (March 20, 2009, 11:13 AM)
Added to the ToDo.

I found another ampersand problem. It won't show up in the tray icon's tooltip.
-Deozaan (March 21, 2009, 08:00 PM)
I'm not sure why it displays correctly on my system and not yours but it may have something to do with the fact that my computers are set up with Japanese as the default language.  Unfortunately, I don't believe there is any sort of SS_NOPREFIX for tooltips like there is for text controls.  The SS_NOPREFIX setting is what allows a text control to not interpret the ampersand as an underliner for the immediately following character.  I could probably fix it by doubling-up ampersands in the tooltip strings but that would, most likely, break it for me (and other's systems that currently display it properly).  In other words, this may have to be left as a cosmetic bug.  I'll keep it in my bug tracker, though, in hopes that I come across a universal fix.

Latest build:

v1.0.2 build 251
    + Added an option to autopause after "x" minutes of user idle time.  [Thanks, app103]
    + Added a delete hotkey button to the hotkey options dialog.  [Thanks, drugwash]
    + Added an option to allow single or double-clicking the tray icon to bring the main
      window to the front.  Tools, Optoins, General, System tray section.  [Thanks, brotherS]

Good work so far.  This is probably one scenario you want to handle:

Files named:

file_01.jpg
file_02.jpg
file_03.jpg
...

If you trim right two places, and keep overwriting, you will end up with a single "file_.jpg" file.

How about an option to autopause after x min of user idle time? Useful in case you fall asleep. (inspired by this)
-app103 (March 20, 2009, 04:03 AM)
Hahaha...funny you mention this.  Mouser and I had a discussion about this some time back.  Snore Detector.   :P  It seems that Trout is sort of becoming tuned nicely for audio book listening.   :D  Anyway, such a feature wouldn't be too hard to add; I'd think that I'd only need to check for this while a track is currently playing.

+ It will also save your last entered value.
first two items works well but i don't get the 3rd item - "last entered value", did you mean the folder path?
-lanux128 (March 19, 2009, 08:32 PM)
Apologies, I should have been more clear.  It should save the last custom length value you entered/used.  In regards to the folder paths, it will save the last ten (this is easily changed if ten is not enough).

Updated: Name Knife

+ F2-based file renaming in is place.  Folder renaming is not.  The error checking is fairly comprehensive at this point.
+ Edit menu -> Length presets.  You can enter in your own list of length presets.
+ It will also save your last entered value.

Please let me know your thoughts.

For the record, I'm really hesitant to develop this into a full-blown renamer.  One, there are PLENTY of much more capable renamer apps out there and, two, I simply don't want to have to support a renamer app.  Lanux, did you ever see Majkinetor's AHK-developed renamer app?  If not: Multi-Rename Script

thanks for the script. i've been trying it out and it looks and feels almost like the prototype but 'max file/folder name length' option confuses me. when i choose the length from the drop-down, all files in the list-view disappear, why is that?
-lanux128 (March 18, 2009, 03:42 AM)
What?  Simply choosing a value from the dropdown shouldn't make any listview contents disappear.  Now, if you set it BEFORE choosing a folder, those results will be filtered.  Maybe this is what you're seeing?

also a refresh button would be nice for updating the view as the user increase/decrease the character limit.
-lanux128 (March 18, 2009, 03:42 AM)
A refresh button is already in my next build.
