We have the same phone system in our house but don't make use of the Link2Cell feature.  We do, however, use the built-in intercom feature a lot.  As an aside, for anybody wondering, the range on these phones in crazy good.  I was at the far side of my neighbour's backyard the other day and it was working without a hitch.

F:\\Portable\\FolderTimeUpdate+\\FolderTimeUpdate.exe \"%1\"
It works but that gets me nowhere because the actual folder path is not selected. I must still drag & drop the folder onto the opened GUI.

Is this an impossible action or should I change the command key?
Any tips most welcome.
-Prep (June 03, 2016, 04:35 AM)

Based on the help file on NirSoft's site, I think you have to add the /BaseFolder switch first like this:

F:\\Portable\\FolderTimeUpdate+\\FolderTimeUpdate.exe /BaseFolder \"%1\"

Untested, and I've never used that particular program, so YMMV.

which program ?
-tomos (May 30, 2016, 12:16 PM)

I'm going to assume it's SFV Ninja.

I run the program, and it returns 6750/6750 files verified.
But if I try save the list it says "not all files verified" untick the unverified ?
-Wildata (May 30, 2016, 10:08 AM)

So, you've loaded 6750 files into the interface and verified them all, correct?  Not that it should matter, but can you test with a smaller number of files?  For what it's worth, I just did a test with over 7000 files and it worked fine.

Hi, armus2112, and welcome to the DonationCoder site.   :Thmbsup:

See screenshot, I have the Refresh Time set to 15 min. I would expect the 'Updated:' to reflect a time within the last 15 minutes, but I am not seeing this. 'Updated' is showing a value over an hour old.
-armus2112 (May 30, 2016, 11:02 AM)

There are two timers at play here: 1) sWeather's and 2) Yahoo!'s.  sWeather reports the time that the Yahoo! Weather API reports and Yahoo! appear to update their results only hourly (as best I can tell).  Switching weather APIs is really not an option as the majority of the good ones are not free anymore and their cost is well outside the amount of donations I get for sWeather.

« Last post by skwire on May 28, 2016, 04:05 PM »
Back in the day, I thought I was pretty badass to have the only USB Zip drive amongst my peers (as opposed to the parallel port version).  In fact, I still have it, and a Jaz drive.  In the dialup days, I used to download stuff (game mods, maps, etc.) over the fast connection at work and take the files home on Zip disks.

Just for grins, here's an AHK solution that uses http://www.timeapi.org but doesn't use any third-party executables.

Code: Autohotkey [Select]
  1. ; Set timezone value to your timezone.
  2. myTimeZone := "CDT"
  3.  
  4. myTempFile := A_ScriptDir . "\~" . A_Now . ".txt"
  5. URLDownloadToFile, http://www.timeapi.org/%myTimeZone%/, % myTempFile
  6. FileRead, myTime, % myTempFile
  7. FileDelete, % myTempFile
  8.  
  9. ; Sample output: 2016-05-25T13:24:22-06:00
  10. RegExMatch( myTime, "^(\d\d\d\d)-(\d\d)-(\d\d)T(\d\d:\d\d:\d\d)", myMatch )
  11.  
  12. ; Sample matches:
  13. ; myMatch1 = 2016
  14. ; myMatch2 = 05
  15. ; myMatch3 = 25
  16. ; myMatch4 = 13:24:22
  17.  
  18. ; Set the date.
  19. Run, %COMSPEC% /C date %myMatch2%-%myMatch3%-%myMatch1%, , Hide
  20.  
  21. ; Set the time.
  22. Run, %COMSPEC% /C time %myMatch4%                      , , Hide

Edit: apparently there is a Linux utility called htpdate that gets the time from the headers of web pages specifically for use when ntp port 123 is blocked.  I looked around but could not find any Windows port of it less than 10 years old.
-MilesAhead (May 25, 2016, 07:23 AM)

Ten years old is fine if they still work, eh?  Did you try any of them?

Just to be sure, did you try Cmdtime from here?:  http://www.softshape...download/cmdtime.zip

I've used it for years but, as you said, it might be blocked.  If that doesn't work, I'll see what I can put together.

Oh, I get it. I thought I need the 'add' option to add a location. I went to the 'Lookup' option and typed in a city and it automatically listed all the cities in the world with this name and then selected it and don't even need the 'add' option.
-Mal (May 24, 2016, 11:46 AM)

No worries, I can see how you the interface would be a bit confusing.  I'll find some time to integrate an add button.

Wow! Lovely program. Thanks so much for your help.

Hi, Mal, and welcome to the DonationCoder site.

I downloaded the latest edition of SWeather.zip v1.6.5 build 1 but it doesn't have the "add" option.
-Mal (May 24, 2016, 03:35 AM)

The "add" what option?  If you mean adding a new location, do a search, and double-click the location you want to add.

Yes, and the fact that more recent AHK builds pop that error.  Please test v1.3.0 and let me know if that fixes things.

v1.3.0 - 2016-05-13
    - Regressed progress bar changes from v1.2.9 until I can work out some bugs.
    ! Fixed some alternate keyboard hotkey issues.  (Thanks, rm)

v1.2.9 - 2016-05-12
    * Improved the accuracy of the "Total:" progress bar.

Hi, XoRRoX, and welcome to the DonationCoder site.   :D

Very nice job Skwire - I use it a lot  :up: :)
-XoRRoX (May 10, 2016, 12:58 AM)

I'm glad to know you find it useful.   :Thmbsup:

I would really like to configure a hotkey for it to trigger, something like Ctrl + G(roup) - would you want to do that? (I saw you developed it in AHK so that should be easy for you, right? :) )
-XoRRoX (May 10, 2016, 12:58 AM)

Yes, this app is written in AHK, but it's designed to not stay resident in memory so I can't do a global hotkey.  Basically, it's invoked, does its business, and exits.

Hi, click-click, and welcome to the DonationCoder site.

I have the latest version of sweather 1.6.5.1 and it has stopped working since a week or so ago.
I no longer get any data and everything is n/a. Also when I try a refresh, sweather more or less
hangs and takes a long time to recover, but still no data. I don't see any error msgs from sweather
either. Any ideas how to troubleshoot this?
-click-click (May 06, 2016, 04:44 AM)

sWeather seems to be working for me.  Anybody else having issues?

A couple of things:

1) Are you positive you're running 1.6.5.1?
2) Do you get N/A for all locations?

I just had a thought.. is there any way to implement a slider for for the volume of the squeaky?
-luvnbeast (May 05, 2016, 05:36 PM)

No, since it's just using the OS to play the WAV file directly.  I could rewrite it using a third party library (such as the BASS library I use in some other apps) to play and control the volume of the WAV file but I think that might be a bit overkill for this app.  The easiest thing would be to use an audio editor (Audacity is one) to reduce the volume of your WAV files.
