Version 1.1.2.1. Windows 10. The search box is missing on the AnuVu page. I've tried setting program for compatibility with Windows 7, but no change.

BtW, by "same drive" do you mean an entire physical hard drive itself or just a logical partition?
-Cocoa (March 22, 2017, 09:30 AM)

Same logical partition.

Also, it would be helpful to be able to export the results of the checksum comparison report as a txt or html formatted file.
-Cocoa (March 22, 2017, 09:30 AM)

See new version below.

v1.3.6 - 2017-05-06
    + List clear mode toolbar option is now saved.
    + Added "Save list to HTML file" option under the File menu. (Thanks, Cocoa)
    * Good rows are now coloured green.
    * Eliminated dependency on resources.dll for icon glyphs.
    * Eliminated dependency on temp directory.

This is exactly what I was thinking.
-nickodemos (April 09, 2017, 08:13 AM)

Good to know I was on the right track.

Is it possible to have access to all the information that the OMDB API uses?
-nickodemos (April 09, 2017, 08:13 AM)

I added all the tags/tokens I could find.  Let me know if I missed any.

How hard is it to add right click function? The idea all the call terms could be on a context menu.
-nickodemos (April 09, 2017, 08:13 AM)

I've included an "Insert tokens" button with menu.

Since you threw in the series is it possible to add the episode function?
-nickodemos (April 09, 2017, 08:13 AM)

The episode stuff will take a bit of thought as the data it returns is different than movie or tv series data.

Here's the download:  http://skwire.dcmemb...db_tool/OMDbTool.zip

So the idea is to use OMDB.com API to gather the information and the parse the information into a given template. Be nice if each had a spot to make a template as you wanted. Here is an example of the OMDB api data return.
-nickodemos (April 09, 2017, 12:41 AM)

Here's a quick proof of concept I threw together.  Was this something like what you had in mind?

2017-04-09_024211.png

I admit I would rather have IMDB for all the cast/director links but figure OMDB might be easier to work with.
-nickodemos (April 09, 2017, 12:41 AM)

Unfortunately, IMDB do not have any sort of official API.  Hence the need for sites like this OMDB API.

N.A.N.Y. 2014 / Re: NANY 2014 Release - epCheck
« Last post by skwire on April 06, 2017, 11:44 PM »
Hi, ganymede4, and welcome to the DonationCoder forums.

First is a bit of a bug: sometimes when updating shows (refresh data option), refreshing the view on the weekly tab or adding a new show from search, a random amount of ticks disappear from the list of shows marked as watched. It is usually most of them which is not good as it's thousands of checkboxes. Sometimes it will leave one or two checked per show but it is completely random. It's extremely frustrating.
-ganymede4 (April 06, 2017, 08:14 AM)

Are you using the beta from this post here:  https://www.donation....msg368839#msg368839

In addition to the new features, I tried to improve the bug you mentioned in that beta, too.

Second is a small feature request: Would it be possible to have an option for the refresh data option to only update shows listed as "continuing". It seems an unnecessary waste of time to check TVDB for cancelled/completed shows whose listing have been static for long periods, particularly for those with a lot of shows in their list.
-ganymede4 (April 06, 2017, 08:14 AM)

If you're letting epCheck update the data automatically, it should only update the shows that have changed data (according to TheTVDB).  So, even if a show is "ended", there's still a chance the data may have been edited.  Now, if you go into the Options and choose the "Refresh all series data now" button, it will download each series' data no matter what.

Do you have any idea what to do?
-kalos (April 02, 2017, 03:02 PM)

4wd already gave you some options:

1) Root the phone and install a new ROM on it or, if you're not comfortable doing that, 2) return the phone and buy a local phone so you can get some local support/help.

It keeps freezing and I have to restart
-kalos (April 02, 2017, 03:02 PM)

So, for a month and a half, you've been using a phone that you're not happy with instead of returning it and getting your money back?  C'mon, you really need to learn to help yourself, and make some decisions on your own, instead of relying on everybody else to tell you what to do, what to buy, what to whatever...

Developer's Corner / Re: Do you use a good office chair when programming?
« Last post by skwire on March 31, 2017, 03:21 PM »
I bought a Maverick A4 chair from Office Depot ten years ago and it still looks near brand new.  It's astonishing, really, if you consider how many hours I've got in this chair.  When I'm not travelling for work, I work from home so you can imagine the amount of work (and play) time I have in this seat.  I did have to replace the height-adjustment piston a few years ago but that's to be expected as they don't last forever.  The chair actually has a ten-year warranty on it, too.

-David208 (March 21, 2017, 09:28 PM)

Is it possible to put the EXE in its own folder and then create a shortcut in the Startup folder.  At that point, it should create the settings file in the folder where the EXE is.  If that doesn't work, I'll see about modifying the code for you.

No.  All the other weather APIs I've researched are very limited in what they offer for free.

"Last provider update was at 05:00 PM CET"
-totya (March 17, 2017, 11:32 AM)

So, it is every two hours.  Unfortunately, this is the standard for the Yahoo! Weather API these days.

If that's the case, it unfortunately looks like the Yahoo! Weather API only gets updates for your location once per day.

Skwire Empire / Re: Release: SFV Ninja (Simple File Verification application)
« Last post by skwire on March 17, 2017, 11:02 AM »
That's what I thought would be the steps, except when I created the checksum file and moved it to the other folder, then selected "Load checksum file" -> "Verify All", all I got was the program re-verifying all the files in the initial folder that the checksum was created from. I also tried "Scan folder for checksum file and load" and got the same result.
-Cocoa (March 17, 2017, 05:18 AM)

This might be a bit confusing but where you save the SFV file is important in relation to which files are in the list:

  • Files that are on the same drive as the saved SFV file path are saved with paths relative to the save folder.
  • Files that are on a different drive than the saved SFV file path are saved with full paths.

So, in your example of using Folder A and Folder B, you load the contents of Folder A in SFV Ninja, check them, and then you must save the SFV directly in Folder A in order to generate the correct relative paths for use when you move the SFV file to Folder B.  Does this make sense?

Also would like to make a suggestion to Jody/skwire (not sure which you prefer), can you add a "clear selected" option?
-Cocoa (March 17, 2017, 05:18 AM)

I can add it to the menu (oversight on my part) but, in the meantime, simply press Delete after selecting/highlighting the items you want to remove.

Hi, totya, and welcome to the DonationCoder site.

In this app the current temperature is 12C. But this isn't true. If I click to "full forecast" from this app, this link open in the web browser: link and it show the correct temperature, which is now 5C.
-totya (March 16, 2017, 04:20 PM)

The issue is that sWeather gets its data from the Yahoo! Weather API and the Yahoo! Weather website does not.  For whatever reason, the website gets its data from Weather.com.

I have two folders, say named Folder A and Folder B.
They're stored under different paths and have different names. Inside are other nested folders and files, which have the same general directory structure, but may or may not all match. What I'm trying to find out is exactly what's there and what's not, and for the ones that have same filename and patch, whether they're indeed the exact same files.
-Cocoa (March 16, 2017, 04:04 AM)

Even though I'm the developer of SFV Ninja, as Deo mentioned, what you need is a diff program -- something like Beyond Compare from Scooter Software.  Here's a screenshot showing what you're describing:

Beyond Compare is a wonderful program that I've used for over ten years.

As I told you already, nobody can know which space to delete and which not.
-AbteriX (March 10, 2017, 01:57 PM)

Actually, so long as distorted text has extra spaces between ALL characters (which includes the space character), you can make this work.  Every real space will have two spaces instead of one so you can do it like this:

Code: Autohotkey [Select]
  1. #T:: ; Windows+T hotkey.  Change as desired.
  2. {
  3.     ; T h i s  i s  a  v e r y  s h o r t  s c r i p t  ; Sample of distorted text.
  4.     ;        ^^   ^^ ^^       ^^         ^^             ; Double spaces where single spaces should be.
  5.  
  6.     Clipboard := "" ; Empty the clipboard.
  7.     Send, ^c        ; Copy selected text to the clipboard.
  8.     ClipWait, 2     ; Wait for text to be put on the clipboard.
  9.    
  10.     ; Transform text.
  11.     myString := Clipboard
  12.     myString := StrReplace( myString, "  ", "§" ) ; Replace all double-spaces with a temporary section (§) character.
  13.     myString := StrReplace( myString, " ", "" )   ; Collapse remaining spaces.
  14.     myString := StrReplace( myString, "§", " " )  ; Replace temporary section (§) characters with a single space.
  15.    
  16.     Clipboard := myString ; Copy new string back to the clipboard.
  17. }
  18. Return

Contro, give the above AHK code a try and see if it works for you.  Again, this will only work if each real space is actually two spaces when your text is distorted.
