Post New Requests Here / Re: IDEA: TV Show/Movie Library - Discussion

« Last post by skwire on March 11, 2009, 11:50 AM »

1) A user enters a path to a folder where (mulitple) tv shows are around.
2) The multimedia files will be scanned and based on filenames
3) more information will be downoaded with the You could see the hierarchy as a tree: TV Show - Season - Episode
4) The app should not run in full screen by default (maybe an option for later on). The most important part is the UI. I want it to be simple but sleek and smooth.
5) The most important part is: When you clicked a file to start playing it, it does open in a custom external media player.

Some thoughts:
1) Easily doable.
2) Are your filenames done according to a personal scheme? Or, do they follow the typical scene standard e.g. Some.TV.Show.s01e04.avi (the "s01e04" being the important part).
3) I haven't looked into the API much but the fact they even have one bodes well for something like this.
4) Hmmm...full-screen? I was envisioning just a typical Windows application look. Did you have something else in mind?
5) Easy.

Based on your counting requirements, and talking with mouser, I think I see where my confusion lies. I've been basing my thoughts and assumptions that you are concerned with fixing full path length or, at the very least, relative path length issues. From what you suggested in the last post, are you concerned simply with fixing long filenames or foldernames regardless of their parent path? Is that correct?

Apologies, I am still unclear as to how you want to count the path length. You've mentioned counting folders and files differently but there will never be only a folder in a given listview row. Every row will be a file of some sort. In other words, this is not intended as a folder renamer, only a filename renamer. Are we on the same page with regard to that? For instance, based on what you said above, you want it like this:

[Select]

file_1.exe | \
file_4.ext | \subfolder_1\
file_7.ext | \subfolder_2\

What you want is easily doable in a GUI sense. However, the following will never happen:

[Select]

file_1.exe | \
file_4.ext | \subfolder_1\
file_7.ext | \subfolder_2\
subfolder_3 | \subfolder_3\ <--- This can't happen.

If a folder is empty, nothing gets added to the listview. Does that make sense?

So, with all that in mind, I still need to know how you want these lengths counted. Maybe I'm not seeing the forest for the trees on this one.

« Last post by skwire on March 11, 2009, 02:38 AM »

You have me confused. I've been basing my assumptions on complete path lengths e.g.

c:\path\to\file.ext <-- Returns 19.

a two-column listview would be cool but can the 2nd column be relative to chosen folder like this:

\ <- root
\abc\ <- 1st sub

and so on instead of displaying the filepath.
-lanux128 (March 11, 2009, 01:25 AM)

I need more clarification here. Example:

[Select]

Chosen/dropped path: c:\path\to
Files in that folder:
file_1.exe (c:\path\to\file_1.exe)
file_2.ext (c:\path\to\file_2.exe)
file_3.ext (c:\path\to\file_3.exe)
\subfolder_1\file_4.ext (c:\path\to\subfolder_1\file_4.ext)
\subfolder_1\file_5.ext (c:\path\to\subfolder_1\file_4.ext)
\subfolder_1\file_6.ext (c:\path\to\subfolder_1\file_4.ext)
\subfolder_2\file_7.ext (c:\path\to\subfolder_2\file_7.ext)
\subfolder_2\file_8.ext (c:\path\to\subfolder_2\file_8.ext)
\subfolder_2\file_9.ext (c:\path\to\subfolder_2\file_9.ext)

Given the above, you want the listview columns to look like this:

[Select]

Is this correct?

actually the character count that i'm looking for is the length of <filename.ext> and/or <folder>.

e.g.
C:\Program Files <- folder; return 13 characters
C:\PDFZilla\help.chm <- file; return 4 characters
-lanux128 (March 11, 2009, 01:25 AM)

How does "C:\Program Files" return thirteen? Are you not counting the "c:\" portion? If so, why?
How does "C:\PDFZilla\help.chm" return four characters? Are you only counting the filename minus the extension? If so, why?

of course, if i choose/drop a folder, there can be an option for recursive scanning.
-lanux128 (March 11, 2009, 01:25 AM)

Recursive scanning is assumed.

I was thinking a two-column listview. The first column would be just the filename while the second would have the entire filepath (for reference). F2 editing will be in place for the first column. Also...the max length. I assume this is just determined by the character count in the complete filepath, right? I was thinking a combobox that would allow the user to enter in any number they wanted (along with some presets like 64, 128, etc). How does this sound?

Extremely simple and preliminary, but see if this is something like what you had in mind. Just drag-n-drop files to the list; the time will compute automatically. You can also do the typical shortcuts:

Delete: Delete selected rows (time will recompute as you delete files).
Ctrl-A: Select all.
Ctrl-U: Unselect all.
Ctrl-I: Invert selection.
Ctrl-up/down: Move a selection up and down.

Download: PlayTime

« Last post by skwire on March 09, 2009, 04:10 PM »

Correct, I meant the MiniBar. Strange, it looks like there is an AoT setting in the tray menu now... How is that possible? $:-\$ I swear it wasn't there before!
-Deozaan (March 09, 2009, 05:35 AM)

Ah, there is a bug there. If you display the minibar menu, it adds the AoT entry (as it should) but it also adds it to the tray menu. I'll fix that in the next build.

I personally don't need a button to take me to last.fm's website. Also, tooltips would be nice so that I wouldn't have to launch my browser to last.fm's website to figure out that that button is a "go to last.fm's website" button.
I'd rather have a track progress indicator than a volume meter showing. Is it possible on the Horizontal MiniBar to have a tiny vertical indicator (about the size of the last.fm button) for the volume and use the current horizontal indicator for the track progress like it is in the main window? I don't need to adjust the time on the track from this indicator, I'd just like to see how far into a song I am.
Any way to replace the last.fm button with such a volume indicator?
I suspect that with the Vertical MiniBar you could swap them so that the volume bar was the small one only a few pixels wide and the track progress was the larger of the two.
Alternatively, (though this wouldn't work well for the Vertical MiniBar) just showing some text in the volume indicator that can be customized to show Time Elapsed or Time Remaining (I'm a TR kind of person, myself) would be nice, but I think that might even confuse more people into thinking that it was a track progression indicator instead of a volume indicator.
I'd like more area to click on to drag the MiniBar around with. What I'd prefer is if clicking didn't change the volume (or track progress) so I could click anywhere that wasn't a button to drag it around. My suggested solution for adjusting the volume with such a setup would be to use the scroll wheel. i.e. click on the MiniBar to activate it then adjust volume using scrollwheel.
-Deozaan (March 09, 2009, 05:35 AM)

For the record, I have plans to extend the minibars in several ways. I will make that heart/love button an option in the Last.fm tab. I think app103 would kill me if I took it out entirely.

Currently, it adds the button only if you enable the Last.fm functionality. Regarding the volume controls in the minibar, it was a tossup between that and the seekbar. I plan to add an option that will display a small section on the minibar with the time remaining/elapsed. I put the Trout icons on the minibars with the intention that they would be used as a sort of "drag thumb". Scrollwheel volume control is a good idea. I'll add that to the ToDo.

Additionally, a couple more potential bugs: I somehow managed to confuse it to death. I'm used to double-clicking tray icons for the main window to pop up. So the tray icon disappeared as the main window was popping up, but apparently clicking the tray icon again minimized it to tray, but the tray icon never showed up again. Good thing I had the MiniBar open or else I might never have been able to open the main window again!
-Deozaan (March 09, 2009, 05:35 AM)

I can add an option where you can choose single or double-clicking the tray icon to bring it forward.

I hope I addressed most of your points. Thanks for all the feedback.

Not sure if this is a bug or not, but I noticed after I loaded a playlist with thousands of songs that while it was loading them all up, if I right click on one of the table headers (you know, you left-click them to sort the list by that column) it would stop loading the songs until I finished with my right-click business.
-Deozaan (March 09, 2009, 02:48 AM)

That's an AHK behaviour, though, I have seen it with other languages in the past. I'm fairly certain is has to do with AHK being single-threaded but I couldn't say for sure. Nothing should be missed during the file loading i.e. that thread will pick back up when you're done with the context menu.

And by the way: WOW! I didn't know such a thing was possible using AHK. This is simply beautiful. This just might be the audio player to get me to finally upgrade from WinAmp 2.81 Lite (August 21, 2002) which I love so much I still use it to this day.
-Deozaan (March 09, 2009, 02:48 AM)

Thanks for the nice compliment. I'm glad you tried it out.

EDIT: Always on Top is hard to find. I think it should also be available as an option from the tray icon.
-Deozaan (March 09, 2009, 02:48 AM)

There is no AoT setting for the main window so I assume you mean for the minibars. I couldn't think of a better place for it other than the minibar menu. I could build out a specific minibar menu that would show up in the tray menu.

And it seems the MiniBar should snap to the edges of the monitor if it's within ~10 pixels. Or at least have an option to do that.
-Deozaan (March 09, 2009, 02:48 AM)

I'll add that to the ToDo. Thanks. =]

Thanks for the kind words and feedback. Please don't ever feel ashamed to make a feature request. Trout wouldn't be what it's become if it wasn't for everybody pitching in with their suggestions and bug reports.

1. really needs an equalizer for those people that like to tweak sound a bit. no fancy effects like surround effects and such, but a basic "5 lines" equalizer.
2. tomorrow i'll buy myself an ipod, and if this baby would be able to sync and create folder structure by reading the tags it would be jaw-dropping (tough i heard ipods don't like to bond with anything but itunes). this is not a request! but the one with the equalizer might be
3. double-click on album art to open it in viewer instead of right-click+click. if you don't plan to expand that menu you can simply replace it with this double-click.
-alooper21 (March 05, 2009, 08:52 AM)

1) Yes, an EQ is on the ToDo. This will add some CPU usage, however.
2) I don't own an iPod so I doubt this will happen.
3) Originally, I had it working with a double-click and I can't recall why I took it out. My notes don't show anything.

I'll add it back in there (and keep the current menu, too).

another option would be "open file location", like wmp, or, to be original, "go to file". but is ok as it is already.
-alooper21 (March 05, 2009, 09:01 AM)

Nice, I think I like "Open file location" the best. Anybody else have any input on this?

if you add these optionsto the trout it can be the best;
add lyrcs automaticly to song.
suggest repairing option for wrong tags.
