Re: Manipulate file "title" property Topic is solved

I was well on my way to doing it by direct raw data manipulation in the file, but TeaDrinker's source has the big advantage that when they change the OS, it will still work. Mine probably wouldn't. I tried it, and it's spot-on. Thank you so much. I don't think I would ever have worked that out throu...

Re: Manipulate file "title" property Topic is solved

Mikeyww, TeaDrinker (is that AutoHotTea?) I had made some progress by loading thetagged audiofiles into a hex editor, and it is fairly clear where the tags live in the file, so I was thinking of simply rewriting the binary at given addresses, but I was still experimenting to see if entering a long c...

Re: Manipulate file "title" property Topic is solved

I've discovered some information about File "Title" : I wondered if it was a File Parameter, or an Attribute, Descriptor, or what category name Windows gives it. I had searched AHK index for all of these things without success. It turns out it's called a Tag. I'm not the only one who has been thrown...

Re: Manipulate file "title" property Topic is solved

Thanks Mikeyww. I took a look at it, but it seems like a comprehensive package that somebody has made, with a lot of functionality, that would probably increase the size of my little script by 1000%. I only want to do one little thing, and I believe that AHK probably has a control to handle it - tho...

Manipulate file "title" property Topic is solved

I download an audiobook from YouTube, (up to 14 hours of audio) and break it into smaller files using Audacity (with Export Multiple, if you know Audacity). I then transfer the files to an MP3 player. I have two MP3 players, and they order the files differently, which affects the order in which the...

Re: HourGlass

There is a zip file (HourGlass.zip) in DropBox. The link to it is ... https://www.dropbox.com/s/3600i3kbzcabspb/HourGlass.zip?dl=0 It contains the script source code (as above), the executable, the five sound files (audio warnings) and the "Paused" SplashImage file. It will make an ini file when it ...

Re: Custom progress bar Topic is solved

At long last ... my script is written! Finished!! Completed!!! Wooo-Hoooo! Look for it in the Scripts folder. It's called HourGlass. My thanks to those who helped me - to Boiler for pointing out a couple of logicalities, and most especially Tmplinshi. Without them, it would still have been a dream -...

HourGlass

HourGlass This script is for something embarassingly trivial, compared to the time I spent writing it and the amount of help I needed. It puts an hour glass (actually, a Progress Bar) on the screen. It starts full of "sand", and the sand drains away during its timing period. It can be profiled in va...

Re: Custom progress bar Topic is solved

Yes, you're right. It is there. I had actually tried googling for information, but if I found that page, I missed the info. That happens to me a lot. Now that it's pointed out, however, I find that it is, in fact, in the Help file - but I can only find that one instance of it - buried at the bottom ...

Re: Custom progress bar Topic is solved

Thanks yet again, tmplinshi. [ Irrelevant stuff edited out ] I would never have got through this without your help. Is there any instruction anywhere that I could find an in-depth guide on how to handle multiple GUIs? In fact, if there were any detailed instruction books, I would quite happily spend...

Re: if var is integer Topic is solved

Rohwedder, thanks for this. I didn't know about "Correct", and in fact, it isn't in my Help manual. Perhaps it's time I upgraded my version of AHK. I was thinking about this last night, and it occurred to me that if a computer gets a result of x.0000000001 That's not equal to x. It may be close enou...

Re: if var is integer Topic is solved

Thanks Boiler, it had occurred to me to test the precision, but it involves a constant. It's a shame that "if var is integer" doesn't just ... work! After all - if somebody is testing a value to see if it is an integer, they are unlikely to be troubled by a 1 lurking at some distant point down a str...

Re: Custom progress bar Topic is solved

After three days trying to solve this, I'm throwing my hands up. I've tried a lot of stuff, but clearly, not the right stuff. Somebody please tell me what I'm doing wrong. I have pared my script down to a much smaller script that still shows the issue. When you run the script, just put a number 1 in...

Re: Custom progress bar Topic is solved

tmplinshi, the control you proposed looks very nice. Thank you. The long delay in replying is not due to ingratitude or bad manners, but due to yet another problem I'm having - but I want to solve this one if I can. I'm feeling as if I have hardly contributed to this script. In the past, I have writ...

Re: Custom progress bar Topic is solved

tmplinshi, the bottom of my thread was kinda hijacked. If you could answer my question above (as you invited), I'd really appreciate your input. My issue isn't a show-stopper, and it's possible it can't be solved - but you're one of the few that would know.

Aladin,

Very pretty, but I'm really not sure why you posted it here instead of, perhaps, in the Scripts forum.
Unfortunately not what I'm looking for.

Re: Custom progress bar Topic is solved

tmplinshi , This is really great. I can resize it and set the colour of the bar; and I can make it vertical, and as I said before, this is exactly what I wanted - or very nearly. I have spent a good deal of time trying to figure out how it all works, and I'm quite puzzled by some of it. By deleting...

Re: Custom progress bar Topic is solved

Wow! What a guru you are! And such an elegant piece of code at that. Thank you so much, tmplinshi - that's exactly what I wanted. I'll spend some time poring over the code to figure out how it works. The capability of the language is amazing, but that sort of conversancy, I would guess, is the produ...
