Yes, it would be a Run action.  Your Target field would be c:\path\to\nircmd.exe and the Arguments field would be cdrom open j:

Of course, change the path and drive letter to suit your system.

Is there a command to eject CD/DVD?
-dantheman (March 14, 2016, 08:43 AM)

Not natively, no.  However, you could call NirCmd from Splat to do that.

So would it be a hard programmer's trick to offer different choices for data providers?
-Aquarelle (March 10, 2016, 01:37 PM)

Thank you for your message and feedback.   :Thmbsup:

If a provider has an accessible API, it's not really a matter of "hard" so much as it is one of time, effort, money, and desire.  Time for the time it takes to incorporate said API(s) into sStockQuote.  Note that each stock quote site's API is going to be different from the others.  That's where the effort part comes in; APIs are notorious for changing on a whim and trying to support multiple APIs/providers in one app gets messy quickly.  And, finally, money.  As you state, your preferred provider is a paid for type.  I just don't care enough (lack of desire) about stocks to invest money into paid sites just to develop against their APIs.   :-[

I chose Yahoo because 1) it's free (and easy enough) to develop against and 2) it's free for everybody to use.

Yes, the five and ten-day forecasts come from a different part of the Yahoo ecosystem, so that's just how it is.  However, at least, it appears I have the dates right.

Wow, that was quick!
I have tested the new version, and it works perfectly. :D
-Sempfmaus (March 09, 2016, 07:14 AM)

Good to hear and thank you for testing.

If a album has two discs, i just rename the .mp3s to reflect the cd, e.g. Intromusic.mp3 to CD1_Intromusic.mp3, and put them alltogether in one folder.
Altrough if the album has more than two or three cds, i just rename the folder to something better than CD1.
-Sempfmaus (March 09, 2016, 07:14 AM)

I daresay most people use something like the following folder structure:

ArtistName
'--> AlbumName1
'--> AlbumName2
'--> AlbumName3
     `--> CD1
     `--> CD2

I do the following:

ArtistName
'--> AlbumName1
'--> AlbumName2
'--> AlbumName3 (CD1)
'--> AlbumName3 (CD2)

Basically, no subfolders for multi-disc albums.

Hi, Sempfmaus, and welcome to the DonationCoder site.   :)

I have one request though, would it be possible to put a character in front of the name of the .m3u? (maybe trough the .ini file?)
-Sempfmaus (March 08, 2016, 06:51 AM)

See below for a new version with your added feature request.

Sorry for my poor english, and apologies for this wall of text, but i didnt know how i should make my request clear simpler. ;)
-Sempfmaus (March 08, 2016, 06:51 AM)

Your written English is wonderful  :Thmbsup: and much better than many native speakers I know.   ;)

And another thing which interests me .. if I can humbly ask which programming language do you use?

Hi, zarrafakt, and welcome to the DonationCoder site.   :)

Picking up on callumm's post above I have a problem getting Files2folder to work. I am using Vista SP2. I have tried unregistering and uninstalling but every time I use the right click menu on a file I get,
[ Invalid Attachment ]
-zarrafakt (March 07, 2016, 05:08 AM)

Please note that I've never tested this program on any Vista install.  That said, after running the unregister file and attempting the install again, are you positive that you're:

  • Running the Files2Folder.exe file from a permanent location (folder) and not directly from the zip file?
  • Running the Files2Folder.exe file with Administrator rights?

General Software Discussion / Re: server-side configuration Open to View PDFs in browser not download them
« Last post by skwire on March 04, 2016, 09:43 AM »
Folks, are we certain this isn't a server-side MIME type issue?

Typically, PDFs have a server-side content-type of application/pdf which browsers can recognise and choose to display said PDF within the browser.  However, if PDFs are set as a content-type of application/octet-stream, most browsers would then simply download the file.  At any rate, it's something worth checking out and you should be able to see if this is the problem by looking at the headers returned in the links you're using for the PDFs.

Now that I'm at home and have updated sWeather, it is showing day 6-10 here (probably a networking issue at work, again :(), but the dates in the forecast are off by 1 day, as reported before. Maybe related to time-zone? I'm at GMT+1.
-Ath (February 29, 2016, 12:37 PM)

Ath, are all your locations off by one?  Also, would you be okay with sharing your config.ini and locations.lst with me?

Skwire Empire / Re: Release: sWeather (tray-based weather app)
« Last post by skwire on February 29, 2016, 02:57 AM »
@Ath: FWIW, the 10-day forecast data is working fine for the locations I keep.  If you want to share the location you're having issues with, I can at least verify it's not an sWeather problem.

@sportman12: I appreciate your interest in sWeather but, as Ath stated, please have some patience.  I do try, but I'm not always able to respond to posts and PMs.  I travel a lot for my regular day job (sometimes weeks in a row) and I write these applications in my spare time.  Please understand that there really is no need to keep sending PMs to me or other users.

Hi, daniloco, and welcome to the DonationCoder site.   :)

In the last days a new version of AIMP (version 4) has been released.
As you might guess, MPH does'nt work with it  :(
This time the process name is simply AIMP.exe, no version number added to the name.
Could you please add it to the list of supported players?

skwire in the Datetime  format location this dddd, MMMM d, H:mm tt if you delete it you get local time is this the way it works ?
-sportman12 (February 23, 2016, 01:03 PM)

Apologies, I forgot I added that option.  If you click the ? next to that option, you will be taken to a page that shows you what your options are for customising that string.  If you want to change to non-military time, use "h" or "hh" instead of the default "H". 

The feature is supposed to show the local time for whichever location you have displayed in sWeather.  Right now, that part is broken so it continues to display your local time no matter which location you have displayed.  Make sense?

I installed sweather am not getting my Local time on sweather am getting Militay time how do I get my Local time only
-sportman12 (February 21, 2016, 02:19 PM)

There are a couple of places that sWeather displays times.  The titlebar local time feature is dependent on an external API which doesn't seem to be working anymore.   :(   There is also the timestamp that displays in the statusbar of the main window that shows the "Conditions as of:" data.  In either case, there is no way to change from the military time output.  Does this answer your question?

As for the non-working API, I'll try to check into it when I have some time.

Hi, JanJ, and welcome to the DonationCoder website.   :Thmbsup:  Thank you for taking the time to post.

A little History....  For Years and Years I've used Weather Pulse and loved it.  I stuck with them during the 'no data' times, and then it came back....
And now it seems to have died altogether....  It will be missed....
-JanJ (February 12, 2016, 06:08 AM)

Agreed.  WeatherPulse was my favourite weather app back in the day.

One of the things I loved about Weather Pulse was the individualized (per location) Radar Loop...    Is there any chance that this option may evolve in a later version of Sweather?
-JanJ (February 12, 2016, 06:08 AM)

I liked that as well.  Unfortunately, the Yahoo Weather API does not offer anything similar.

I can see a donation to you folks for this program!   Thanks!!!

Hi, david842, and welcome to the DonationCoder site.   :D

I would definitely use this product if it covered all the video players that I use regularly. It would have to address the really difficult programming challenges of YouTube, UStream, and similar browser-based players, which all have buggy and incomplete user controls. I would definitely donate for that.
-david842 (February 06, 2016, 11:30 AM)

Unfortunately, I've no desire to even try and support browser-based players.  As King Lear said, "That way madness lies."
