Hi, amaretti, and welcome to the DonationCoder site.   

I've got changes made so that sorting can be reverted using the Undo feature.  This was an oversight on my part so thanks for reporting it.  I'll release it later this weekend.

Hi, Darklight Indigo, and welcome to the DonationCoder site.

I just thought you might like to know that this handy little utility seems to be running just fine on Linux.

Good to hear.  Thank you very much for the report.

I am on the east General Hospital says 2 00 start when the show starts at 3 00 who do I contact about fixing this

-sportman12 (August 22, 2016, 03:52 PM)

*shrug*  I've no idea.  You can try signing up on TheTVDB.com and poking around in their forums to see if you can figure out who to contact or if you can even fix it yourself.  In regards to showtimes, keep in mind that epCheck will only ever show what TheTVDB.com has listed.  What I mean is that I will not be adding any sort of time zone adjustment to the listed times in epCheck.  I'm pretty certain that TheTVDB.com assumes all times are EST.  As I mentioned previously, if you're trying to use epCheck as a program guide, you'd probably be better off finding an actual EPG (Electronic Program Guide) application to use instead.

Yes, I see the new shows in epCheck.  If you don't, please run a data update using the Options tab > TV data > Refresh all series data now button.  You might have to restart epCheck after doing this.

Perhaps make the main windows a little larger so that the status update doesn't overwrite most of the day's weather forecast.

-Dogmeat (August 20, 2016, 05:58 AM)

That's very strange as the window should, based on which settings you have chosen, look like one the screenshots on this page: https://skwire.dcmem...om/fp/?page=sweather

Does sWeather look like your screenshot every time you start it up?

1 ok great I will wait for your responds when their a fix for  above episode #100 are displayed/sorted improperly (this is a bug)

-sportman12 (August 19, 2016, 02:18 PM)

Keep in mind that, even without a fix, future shows should still show up in the weekly and monthly views.

2 In epCheck is their a rest button for colors and font if you change em do you have a reset for this if you do where is it ?

-sportman12 (August 19, 2016, 02:18 PM)

Do the following to reset the colors:

• Close epCheck.
• Navigate to epCheck's folder and open the config.ini file in Notepad.
• Delete the lines starting with ColorToday, ColorTomorrow, and ColorYesterday.
• Save the file and restart epCheck.

Fonts have a reset button in the options you can click.

2  Jimmy kimmel live and The late late Show with James Corden I think  no new episodes since 2016-08-04. I think to  Perhaps he's been off the air the last few weeks because of the Olympics? when their new episiodes it will appear in both weekly and Monthly ?

-sportman12 (August 19, 2016, 12:19 PM)

First, you have to understand that TheTVDB.com data comes from users of that site (sort of like Wikipedia).  So, once new data gets added to the TheTVDB.com website, yes, it will show up in all of epCheck's views.

1 here in this screenshot for this version on the weekly tab what is the number of future days set to when installed ?

-sportman12 (August 18, 2016, 08:59 PM)

Seven days ahead is the default.  You can change it to whatever you like.

2 Am not getting any listings for jimmy kimmel live and The late late Show with James Corden

-sportman12 (August 18, 2016, 08:59 PM)

Regarding Kimmel, it looks like the episodes are there but anything above episode #100 are displayed/sorted improperly (this is a bug).  Basically, they get display with a leading zero in the episode number like this: s01e0105   Because of this, they get sorted at the top of a season listing.  I'll see if I can find some time to fix this.

Regarding Corden, if you look at the TheTVDB.com site for season two, you'll see that there are no new episodes since 2016-08-04.  Perhaps he's been off the air the last few weeks because of the Olympics?  If that's not the case, you're going to have to wait until somebody enters in the new episode information into the TheTVDB.com site.  That is, epCheck doesn't make up episode information on its own; it only displays the information available on the TheTVDB.com website.

skwire if I get what you meant is if a repeat of a prior episode or a episode is not on the day and time it will not show up in weekly or monthly option for the day it is to be on ?

-sportman12 (August 18, 2016, 04:07 PM)

Correct.  Again, neither epCheck nor TheTVDB.com is a program guide.  The fact that it can look and act like a program guide, within your configured purview, might have confused you and I apologise for that.  If you're looking for something that will tell you exactly what is upcoming on your local TV channels, what you need is called an EPG (Electronic Program Guide).

-sportman12 (August 18, 2016, 12:46 PM)

I think I understand what you're asking.  If so, keep in mind that TheTVDB and epCheck are not TV program guides.  That is, they're not going to have information on future showings of a given episode.  Does that answer your question?  If you need an EPG (Electronic Program Guide), you will have to look elsewhere.

I just add the UNC path of the network share I want to index, eg. Everything runs on my computer and indexes a share on my WHS2011 machine, so the index is available even when the server is offline, (it's only on 3 hours a day).

Doh, I should have mentioned that I use that feature, too, for computers where I have shares...uhh...shared.  Good stuff, that Everything app.  Love it.

I know there are multiple utilities like Master-seeker and Everything and Ultrasearch just to name a few that are excellent at this but none of them works native to windows in such a way that when a User needs to open a file stored on a mapped drive letter using a Windows program

-questorfla (August 03, 2016, 04:42 PM)

I use Everything on all my Windows computers and make use of the ETP server option when I need to find something on another computer.  For all intents and purposes, it's as fast as using Everything right on the box.  You can find the feature under the Tools > Connect to ETP Server menu.  Of course, you will need to enable the ETP server in Everything's options first (on the computer you want to connect to).  If you can't figure it out, let me know.

-Rockets (July 18, 2016, 06:06 PM)

This version should work in the same way as well as mark the folder read-only instead of system.  This appears to be the way that Windows does it when you change a folder icon using the native method.
