http://yossarko.com/atom/img/error.png An error still pops up. It must be because this is running on a lovely PII, 400mhz Zenith Powermate and probably lacks some processor function .NET needs. Don't worry too much about it, I don't want you spending too much time on it, it's already great that you made me this.

JediGandalf posted:Grrr .NET If I were you I'd at least put in some try catch blocks around everything in MainForm_Load and updateTimer_Tick and pop up a message box with the exception message and the source so you can see where the app is throwing them. I often have a minimal logging class that dumps that info (and anything else relevant) into a text file that people can send me. Just a suggestion, it seems to run properly for me, although I would use WriteLine for the stats.txt and the OK button on the Preferences form needs to have the DialogResult set to OK, because it's not doing anything right now.

Perhaps this is impossible, but I've yet to see a real time bandwidth monitor (network traffic) with a decent refresh rate. Task manager and other similar monitoring applications do the job, but I'd like to have a little app that shows what bandwidth (up / down) I am using at any time, and have it update as frequently as possible. Any way this could be done?

Is there a program that could get the name of the process in the foreground? If you tskill a locked up process, it will close immediately. But, if you Ctrl+Alt+Delete it, it sometimes takes a long time before it closes. What I want to do is bind a program to one of the extra keys on my keyboard, where the program tskill's the process in the foreground.

Here you go: http://koti.mbnet.fi/oltzi/foregroundkill.zip Couple of simple API calls, 9 lines of code in total. Oh, and it really does kill the foreground window, whatever it is. So if you don't have any windows open it will kill explorer.exe which you then have to restart with ctrl-alt-delete.

MusicAlbumFinder - Type in a folder name (including just drives like D:) and after hitting a search button, will show folders with more then 1 (not just 1) of a certain file type; either .mp3, .ogg, or .ape. File extension could be entered into a text box. Bonus feature is the ability to drag the result folders out of the program into windows explorer.

I got one. I would like a Windows app that does this: 1. I give it a folder name 2. I give it a target size 3. I give it a file extension (or a list of extensions) 3. It searches the folder (and optionally subfolders) for files that total up to the size limit with a good degree of randomness. 4. It copies the chosen files into the clipboard so that I may paste them onto another drive, or it can copy them for me. I have a large music collection. I put a portion of it onto my usb drive to listen to on my computer at work. I would like to have an easy way to fill the drive with random files. Any takers?

Or better yet, suggest someone would write a programs that takes in a destination folder and a playlist (.m3u probably) and saves all the music listed in the playlist to the destination folder. That way you could also make mood playlists for instance, or special-event type of things.

Mecha posted:What kind of graph do you need--something more than what Activity Monitor does? (Or if you don't need a graph, there's the widgets at iSlayer). Basically, I'd like to have a bandwidth graph in the corner of my screen. iStat doesn't have one, and Activity Monitor is huge and requires that I keep the process list open. Also both of these programs have the overhead of tracking other statistics which I don't care about. On my PC, I use NetMeter - which allows you to customize the colors and transparency when the mouse is on/off of the graph. It also keeps daily/weekly/monthly stats and pops up a warning when you're approaching some user-defined monthly limit. I haven't found anything like it for OSX yet

Here's something I've been after for a while. I noticed the [url]http://www.tinyappz.com/wiki/Moveclone]Moveclone[/url] app on the wiki, and this does half of what I'm looking for. I'd like a directory structure to be cloned then for all files not modified for a period of time (say 6 months) to be moved to the cloned structure (that is, create an archive of sorts for old files). And if the move empties a directory then that directory gets deleted. I used to work for a fashion company and had to frequently do this to stop the designers from filling up the servers to capacity each month, although I always had to do it manually.

I loved the last thread, such a good idea. I don't think I still use any of the apps, but it reminded me I should get back into VB.net when I finish my placement job and get back to uni. I have a (hopefully) small request. If anyone is able to create a little program that can rename a group of files. I'm hoping to use this for tv episodes that I've downloaded. eg. Renaming them from any naming format into something easier to follow. For example, I'd start up the program, and fill in the TV shows name and the season number. Then I could either select the folder with all the .avi files inside it, or drag and drop all the files into the window. I guess when all the files are loaded into the program, it would try to sort them in episode order, 01-22 or whatever automatically (probably hard to do since there would be two sets of numbers in the file names usually, season# and episode#), but it'd still need the ability to move files up and down the list. (So ordered from first episode of the season to last) And then once they are in order, a click of a button to rename them to whatever Name and Season I'd entered at the start. The naming scheme would be something like: 'Lost - 01x01 - EpName.avi', 'Lost - 01x02 - EpName.avi', etc. Then, because each episode has a different name, hopefully it would be possible to rename them easily, or even somehow pull episode names from a TV.com url or something, but that's probably going too far, i'm sure I can copy text over fine once the rest of the process is a bit more automated... Yikes, that's alot of text, I guess it mightn't be as simple as I'd thought, but it might be something a few people would be interested in. Thanks to anyone who takes up the challange.

I've got a request. Don't know if you guys are familiar with 100 shots / 100 minutes? Well you get a bunch of people together and drink a shot of beer every minute, for a 100 minutes. It's rad. For this to work properly you need an accurate timer which sounds an alarm or something every minute. The last time we did this, I made a little thingy in flash which worked OK, but I couldn't get it to sync properly to the system clock so the timer was kind of jumpy. Also it was a bit dodgy in that if you closed it for some reason it lost count. I just need it to show the countdown to the next shot in big numbers, and whatever else to fill the screen. Maybe a picture slideshow or something? If someone could write something which has the following features:
If you can code it, you can name it. Bonus points if you can specify the alarm sounds, otherwise any built-in Windows sound should be fine. Thanks in advance!

VOID I would like to request an application that runs it's argument, silently, in the background. I'm using Cygwin with it's X server, but it seems to like to pop up a command prompt when you run it, and there is no switch to disable it. Someone made a "RunHidden.exe" for it, but the link is long dead So, RunHidden.exe X.exe should launch X in the background. Unfortunately it doesn't seem to be as easy as setting the verbosity to zero and piping to NUL Cygwin actually has an application for this hidden away, "run". It runs an application with a hidden console. I had to hunt for a bit to find it, but it's exactly what I need.

Need an app that would search through a group of folders and look for a file that's not there. If the file isn't there have the ability to copy it to those folders with the selection of file and click of a button. Possible? So like.. Select it to look in d:\music\ and then in all of it's subfolders. If the file "blankcover.jpg" isn't in the folder it would mark that as a "copy to" folder. If it is there, it would just ignore it.

Ramzi posted:Yay. Thankees. It works great. The hard part was figuring out how to bind it to a keyboard key. But now I got it. I wonder why Control Alt Delete sucks so much. It takes forever, and you end up pushing "End Now" 100 times. This skips all that. I'm not too familiar with Windows here, but I'm guessing that the "End Task" tries the windows equiv of a "kill -TERM" or such, to get it to gracefully exit and not do strange things to memory or file states. I think it at least tries that. Anything that is killing it quicker than that is probably doing similar to a "kill -9" (or kill -KILL.) While it will kill the app in a big hurry, it probably won't leave your system in a great state, probably some memory will be tied up unless Windows does its own crazy garbage collection, which I don't think it does. So, if this is the case, I'd recommend rebooting shortly after doing these before the system gets into a funky state and corrupts something important. Apologies if this is dealt with in the code, or if Windows doesn't work quite the same way. I just happened to think it should be mentioned, in case it matters.

I was gonna make a request for a rewriting of this, but after thinking about it, I'd like to go in a different direction. Pretty much, I'd like to merge that with Metapad. Just a regular notepad application, but with 5 or 6 buttons on the right where .wavs/.mp3s can be loaded and then played back at the click of a button. The pausing would be nice, but not necessarily. The volume controller is not needed, it just needs to play at full volume (for some reason, that soundboard up there plays everything quiet). The control buttons for playing the sounds do need to be big. Any takers?
