My NANY 2017 submission: EOLConverter. Uploaded bug fix.
« on: October 14, 2016, 05:34 PM »
NANY 2017 Entry Information

Application Name EOLConverter.exe
Version 1.0.3
Short Description Converts files from Unix (LF) line endings to windows (CRLF) line endings.
Supported OSes Windows.  Vista and Up
Web Page None
Download Link * EOLConverter.exe (2144.5 kB - downloaded 619 times.)
System Requirements
  • None
  • None
Author https://www.donation...rea=summary;u=515958


Description
I write code stored on a linux machine.  Since the code I write is for windows... its annoying to have to convert back and forth.  Having the wrong line endings causes my precompiler to choke.  I wrote this for my sanity but you might save some hair too.



Features
You can open the program by the icon to convert a whole folder or drag and drop a selection of files and it will convert them overwriting the original files.

Planned Features
None at this time.

Screenshots

Usage
Installation
Download the file and save it where you want it.  Pin it to the taskbar if you like and click to open or drag files onto the icon.

Using the Application
You can open it and give a folder to convert or drag/drop files onto the program icon. 

Uninstallation
Just delete the icon.  its stand alone.

Tips
Make a backup of the originals if you want one.
You should copy only those files you want to convert to another folder to prevent other files from being converted.

Known Issues
version 1.0.1  Doesn't convert anything.  Fixed and updated download link for new version.
version 1.0.2  Bug Fix.
version 1.0.3  Bug Actually fixed this time.

Hi Dayna!

This looks useful. I often encounter similar problems with mixed line endings. Thanks!

This looks like a rather handy tool :)

This bit of the description seems odd though :)

"Uninstallation
Just download.  Its ready to go."

Hi Dayna!

Thanks for the review.  Bugs in original version.  Wouldn't process a single file.  Please re-download latest version.

I fixed the description and uploaded a bug fix.  It wouldn't process a single file by drag/drop.  Please download again.

Welcome, MsDayna! Glad to see you didn't forget us, and finally joined the forum. Also glad to see your NANY submission. Looks really useful. :)

I guess this may need to be said, since there are some that may not know or recognize MsDayna.

For those that dont know, MsDayna is not some unknown person that just joined the forum to upload questionable software.

Those of us that have been in the #donationcoder IRC channel for a number of years, may recognize her from efnet, before we moved the channel to freenode. (yup, same Dayna  8))

I've known her even longer, going all the way back to about 2003, from #delphi on efnet. She is one of the few people in that channel that was never too arrogant to help a Delphi newbie. Personally, I'd trust her code more than I'd trust my own, since she is a much better developer than I am.  ;)

OH Pashaw!  You're too kind.

Some days I create more bugs than I correct.  Other days I'm golden.

Thanks for the glowing introduction.

Dayna.

Hi Dayna,

I just ran this on a directory and this time the following warning popup telling me that all files will be overwritten and that I'd better make a backup first gave me second thoughts.

I decided I'd rather not go ahead with the process so I could make sure I had a backup first. So I clicked the X in the top right corner, and EOL Converter happily continued with the process and converted all the line endings to all the files.

May I suggest that clicking the X should cancel the process so it doesn't go through with it?

Yep, that sounds like a good idea.
Also a Cancel button that did same this as hitting X would be a good idea.
