Hello & good day! I'm implementing these requests on TIMP's very next release (v0.5.0):

I was thinking about adding a little beep noise for some haptic feedback when timp receives a command, so I included the wave file in this upload.

a repeat song function just in case you are listening to a song and happen to hear a song that you wish to hear over and over again...

Right-click integration afterwards

Cheers!

Happy news!! I'm developing the new extended ID3 playlist + new buttons based on your icons to give you an amazing Valentine's Day gift

You deserve it AMIGO!

I think once the song repeat function works out, I'm curious to see how that merger would look actually... I mean if the program was activated without any input command lines, would it start shutdown b? Also, could the program still be small?

It sounds like a fascinating idea/tool nonetheless....

Hello again!

Okay, I may have gotten carried away on the new functionality added to your TIMP program for you to enjoy... (Yet it's all for the better!) Here's an ALPHA/in-development version of what is being packed into the program:

Download: TIMP_v0-5-0-alpha-1.zip
https://github.com/p...s/tag/v0.5.0-alpha.1

It has regressions (e.g. you must click the list to hear). Please stand tight.

I'm pouring my heart developing ALL of the functionality you see in this preliminary version to completion, in order to make TIMP a superb and light/small program you can enjoy entirely in the very next days; a Valentine's gift with a multiplier!!!

(As you can see by the new right-click menu, that's plenty of the good stuff)

We continue advancing with TIMP v0.5.0-alpha.2:

Download: TIMP_v0-5-0-alpha-2.zip
https://github.com/p...s/tag/v0.5.0-alpha.2

Loop mode is complete:

(Both the loop context menu and the tri-state check box are interlinked: modifying one automatically auto-configures the other)

The following matching commands are available now:

TIMP.exe /looplist
TIMP.exe /loopone
TIMP.exe /noloop

Autoplay control/config is also enabled:

The matching autoplay commands are:

TIMP.exe /autoplay
TIMP.exe /noautoplay

The "Scan subdirectories" option is also working:

Regressions continue to be fixed with each new version

Hello again! I'm pushing third ALPHA with all the buttons enabled

luvnbeast · « **Reply #31 on:** February 20, 2024, 09:39 AM »

Hmmm testing this new version out.. it seems it lost the randomness... The player won't shuffle like it did in version 4.0 while it does repeat the song ok, the lists are pretty much staying the same. While the 4.0 reshuffled after each reload of the directory before the graphical addition of the icons, with the loop commands the list is loading normally and locks the list in a normal loading pattern.

While the loop commands are cool, I wonder if we could insert them into the 4.0's style of running random lists?

Sorry it took me this long to test out and find this bug, but a lot has been happening in real life... Still doing the best I can though...

Hmm maybe by the third alpha the issue might be solved... You were typing some of my same thoughts at the same time...

Of course we're all connected!

I'm devoting full day to work on making TIMP as close to feature-complete as possible.

THIRD Alpha of TIMP v0.5.0 is here:

Download: TIMP_v0-5-0-alpha-3.zip
GitHub tag: https://github.com/publicdomain/timp/releases/tag/v0.5.0-alpha.3

Please also confirm ShutdownB is complete as per your requirements --it should be fully functional

Reply @ https://www.donation....msg453291#msg453291

(When we have both programs fully approved by you, then we merge them. Right now it's your time to stay tuned on development & call/confirm completion

They're your programs! The #1 user is certainly you hence the support goes both-ways: user + programmer. We're a TEAM on TIMP

Okay! v0.5.0-alpha.4 brings it to +90%

:

This version enables Explorer integration menu & Start on logon:

Next (final) alpha version enables Hotkeys

publicdomain · « **Reply #35 on:** February 21, 2024, 05:34 PM »

TIMP v0.5.0-alpha.5, the final alpha version, is uploaded:

Download: TIMP_v0-5-0-alpha-5.zip
GitHub tag: https://github.com/publicdomain/timp/releases/tag/v0.5.0-alpha.5

The active hotkey combinations are:

CTRL+ALT+RIGHT = Play next track.
CTRL+ALT+LEFT = Play previous track.
CTRL+ALT+UP = Trigger PlayPause.
CTRL+ALT+DOWN = Repeat current track.

Very minimal and easy to remember

This final ALPHA also has other improvements such as extended "Tip" info on mouse hover and click:

Next version takes TIMP out of ALPHA and into feature complete status

luvnbeast · « **Reply #36 on:** February 22, 2024, 03:59 AM »

I haven't worked with Shutdown B much to be honest, however I did manage to put the latest iteration of Timp through it's paces. It seems wonderful! Although, the counter for duration isn't working, and I wonder if the slider might be a related to volume or to show the song's progress?

I like the mention of the indication of which modes Timp is set to at the bottom of the play window. This makes it easier on mouseover to remember how it is playing.

Although I haven't tried out the levels of searching subdirectories yet, but I'm really impressed with this development.

luvnbeast · « **Reply #37 on:** February 22, 2024, 04:43 AM »

Yet, I wonder when you will introduce the haptic feedback into Timp? When I click an icon in Timp I hear nothing and when I enter a shortcut command into Timp still no click sound. Nothing too loud of course and some little click sound would be nice to encode.

-luvnbeast (February 22, 2024, 04:43 AM)

Oh! Forgot to mention: the code for auditory feedback is there already!

Feel free to add the "ent_screen02.wav" file into TIMP's folder for this version to hear it.

SO many details on this tiny but mighty app! (A custom-made petite wonder

)

I'll package the whole thing into the final v0.5.0 release ~~later today~~... in the mean time, please confirm the new version of ShutdownB is complete:

Umm I did as you said... and no extra beep? I copied over a wave file and renamed it ent_screen02.wav... but it does not sound for the icons or the shortcut commands? Am I doing something wrong?

-luvnbeast (February 22, 2024, 12:34 PM)

Cool, no worries. If I recall right, the code is there in the ALPHA.4 program but please don't mind since I'm coding & packaging while making sure everything works for a successful v0.5.0 release ~~later today~~.

I'm taking care of it so you don't have to worry; a working auditory feedback is coming in the very next feature-complete release

That's minimal, no problem.

Okay! I'm staying home & currently focused at making the song info columns fill-up correctly, extracting running time for the playing TrackBar, and other new "Goodies" to make TIMP feature-complete ~~today~~.

This minimal FileSystem error should be ephemeral. Again, no worries!

haha! Yes & indeed.

Sorry, yesterday I fell asleep "on the keyboard" & today I had to "reshuffle" things a bit to attend/accommodate the weekend & end-of-the-month schedule but things are back on track.

TIMP's package got "bulkier" due to the new Media Info library.

I'm certain the trackbar + settings processing can be done with a few hours of focused coding. I'm "juggling the time" for it... These are the last modifications, we're very close to the happy news of TIMP's successful completion and calling it a WIN too

-publicdomain (February 23, 2024, 09:30 PM)

MediaInfo wrapper with required DLLs turned out to be ~27MB.

I'm checking Taglib-sharp as a lighter weight alternative (given you said a < 5MB TIMP package to be ideal, it's worth to check this venue). EDIT: TagLibSharp.dll is half a megabyte @ ~0.5MB; we go with it for the time being.

(We keep the same plan for TrackBar & settings on next release. It's only the media tags processing that's being altered)

luvnbeast · « **Reply #47 on:** March 02, 2024, 06:03 PM »

I can't wait for this advancement... although I thought of timp's and shutdown B's haptic feedback... I wonder if we could trigger a window's event sound instead of a prebuilt sound thus possibly also removing the bloat? I mean windows has exclamation sounds and question sounds already prebuilt in the system, if there could be a way to trigger that sound on button click or received command that would be perfect.

What do you think about this interesting challenge?

publicdomain · « **Reply #48 on:** March 03, 2024, 12:02 AM »

Hello & good day dear friend, TIMP's ALPHA.6 version has relevant improvements

Download: TIMP_v0-5-0-alpha-6.zip
GitHub tag: https://github.com/publicdomain/timp/releases/tag/v0.5.0-alpha.6

It adds:

- Tags reading for title, album, artist & year (on files that embed such information).

- TrackBar support on play. Spaced from 1 to 100.

- Auditory feedback is added in a secondary/background player (so the "ent_screen02.wav" file sounds along current playing music). Let's try this for a report on your side. There is feedback on player buttons (GUI) & live commands (/playpause, /stop, etc).

- Right click on PlayPause button acts as a STOP button functionality.

TIMP is ~98% done

Settings saving and other minor things are pending for a happy 100% release. We're almost there!

luvnbeast · « **Reply #49 on:** March 03, 2024, 10:03 AM »

This is honestly wonderful! Every command is working and the haptic feedback is working perfectly.

There is only one more tiny glitch, when the player is playing, I can click to load another musical selection and it freezes and doesn't automatically load and play it. Although this could be worked around with an exit and reload of timp, however I had to be honest.

Other than that minor glitch though, I would put my paw of approval on integration with shutdown B!

This is awesome!
