N.A.N.Y. 2013 / Re: NANY 2013 Release: Customizable Remote Administration Panel (CRAP)
« Last post by hamradio on April 26, 2024, 03:05 PM »
All right, I've tested it a little bit and indeed the 3 issues I had posted about in post #133 seem to be fixed.

I've noticed however that in the "Start in" field, it appears that CRAP puts the path it imported between double quotes, and that seems to not work exactly as expected as, for example :
- Diablo 2 Lord of Destruction, when connecting to Battle.net, creates a BnetLog.txt file in the folder where it is started in.
If it is started from a button in CRAP where the "Start in" field has double quotes around it, then that file is created in the same folder where CRAP itself was started in
- The Dark Mod v2.12 x64 (it's a free game, get it from https://www.thedarkmod.com/downloads/ :) ) exhibits a similar behaviour, also creating its Darkmod.log file in the same folder where CRAP was started in
- Thief Gold, if its install.cfg file (that file basically tells it where to look for its resources) contains relative paths such as ".\", which is likely to be the case if it was patched up TFix (which is very much THE recommended unofficial patch package), will fail to run when started from such a button.

In all those examples, removing the double quotes around the contents of the "Start in" field from the buttons fixed the issues.

Now I didn't try to install those games in folders that had spaces in them, so I'm not sure if the double quotes would be required then or would still cause issues.

I will also get the quotes removed and hopefully those wont be needed for it after all.

Found Deals and Discounts / GS-Base 20.3 50% discount [ 4/26/2024 - 4/27/2024 ]
« Last post by Citadel5 on April 25, 2024, 03:19 PM »
GS-Base is a database that lets you store any type of data: text and numeric fields, dates, long text memo fields, files, images, code snippets with syntax highlighting for 16 programming languages.

GS-Base can be useful for both simple applications like organizing your photo collections and extracting any EXIF tags from photos to find photo duplicates or similar photos, playing filtered/random mp3 files, or listing all your disk files, monitoring file changes and adding any type of metadata to files, to clean data, transform using regex, analyze multi-GB data sets with up to 256 million rows.

You can perform both simple and complex record filtering, searching for duplicates, for unique values and frequencies, full-text searches, find-as-you-type, fuzzy searches, searching quartiles, random searches and one-click statistical breakdown analysis. You can use unlimited in-cell charts to spot trends.

You can also analyze very large data sets using pivot tables with up to 256 million rows and 16,384 columns. You can use around 300 built-in calculation function in calculated fields, for data validation, cleaning and conversion. GS-Base can use from 1 to 100 processor cores when updating calculated fields and pivot tables (e.g. Excel: 11 data functions, 1 million rows; GS-Base: 25 functions, 256 million rows, full regex filtering).

GS-Base can filter text/CSV files of any size regardless of the installed RAM. With GS-Base things like performing tables joins, normalizing (splitting) tables, merging records are easy and fast, even for millions of records.

GS-Base can be installed on any portable storage device and used without performing any registry modifications. It requires around 10MB of free space and it's fully offline - no internet connection needed.

Thanks, I'll download and test it ASAP :)

[…]
Note: Also in this version...I don't know if I should keep/remove but atm if the control key is pressed when dropping it will add all without the add dialogs...should I keep or remove?
-hamradio (April 24, 2024, 03:34 PM)
Sounds neat, if the default settings it adds the button with are all right then I see no reason to remove it.

-ConstanceJill (April 25, 2024, 02:16 AM)

I noticed one thing myself today...in fixing how the settings are handled the separator goes based on the width of the button not the height in that build 49 when using a custom button layout. I will fix that.

CRAP beta 2.1.0 build 49 should now be able to be downloaded from the CRAP beta download page.

Changes...
Hopefully the drag and drop bugs are fixed.

The start in addition textbox to all non layout link buttons. Along with various other tweaks.

Note: Also in this version...I don't know if I should keep/remove but atm if the control key is pressed when dropping it will add all without the add dialogs...should I keep or remove?

Thanks for all the testing so far as well. :Thmbsup:

PublicDomainVic / Re: [Dev] AnyCopy - Replace Windows Explorer copy dialog with a custom program
« Last post by paradisusvic on April 21, 2024, 05:25 PM »
The program ended up handling multiple Explorer operations: COPY, DELETE, MOVE and RENAME:

It will likely be renamed to AnyHandler (with a new repo for the expanded interface/functionality).

Currently awaiting ibay770's confirmation to push to GitHub :Thmbsup:

Hello there :)

Today I've tested (on my home computer, running Windows 11 v23H2) adding buttons using the shortcut drag and drop feature, and I've encountered a few issues, some of which seem to be related to the handling of lower/uppercase.

1 - when adding a single button, if the ".exe" part of the icon's name happens to not be entirely in lowercase, then in the main window, the button's icon and caption do not appear.
The button itself can still be highlighted when placing the mouse cursor at its position, the tooltip shows up and the associated program can still be launched.
Changing the button's properties to have the ".exe" in the icon's name be in lower case fixes that issue

2 - when dragging several shortcuts to the main window in order to create the corresponding buttons.
If a single one of those shortcuts has the ".EXE" part of target program's filename written uppercase, then CRAP will open the "Adding New Button" dialogue for each shortcut, until the user confirms the "Add" button for that one shortcut with the uppercase ".EXE", at which point CRAP will basically abort processing the queue: there will be no further window to add the next shortcuts even if more were selected, and the buttons for which the settings were already input will not be added to the layout.

3 - This one isn't related to uppercase vs lowercase file names, but to how some games themselves behave.
A normal Windows shortcut has a "start in" field, which, from my understanding, basically sets the "current folder" before starting the program. This field doesn't appear to exist for CRAP buttons, and so for some programs that need it to be set, they may either fail to run, or try to look for and/or write some files in the wrong place.

1. I have tracked down that bug. At least in my test it works.
2. After I fixed #1 I cant seem to get #2 to reproduce if I have understood correctly.
3. The fix for that will be a "start in" text box in which I can add one. (Update: I have added in.)
