Now don't you wish I was still suspicious? I'll have more, I can assure you.

Yeah - that would be nice!

I would also love this, especially for .ffp and .st5 extensions.

And that reminds me of something else. Every time I go to grab an md5 of ffp to check the default directory it goes to is the C: drive. I don't store any shows on my C: drive. It would be cool if it would open the last directory you were in first so that if you have a particular folder you download to and check from it will always go there first. Or if you could set it to a default of your choice that would be good.

roann...

used tlh for that last few weeks to give it a go--finally one program that does it all [well almost]! well done...

i can't think of any suggestions at the moment that haven't been addressed already [the double-left click of an md5/ffp would be nice!]...thanks for all the work on this one, no doubt...

This is a handy little program, nice work. Is there any chance you could add an option to switch off the Confirm prompt when you close the program? Also, it'd be nice to be able to set a default directory to look for the program to look in.

Yes - that would be helpful.

I do use Windows ME.

So we can see whether or not it's a Windows problem (I don't think it is but you never know ...) please do the following: right click on the Trader's Little Helper executable ("tralih.exe"), select "Properties". Then select the "Version" tab. Is there any valid information (copyright, version, ...)?

Clear contents of the checksum file window only or this plus clear name of checksum file?

Already done. Moreover you can now fix SBEs on multiple file sets (as suggested by Five).

The reason why I don't release the new version of Trader's Little Helper is a new very fast super duper 18 Ghz Pentium 6 machine that I can use now. On this one (and only on this one!) Trader's Little Helper crashes occasionally when showing audio file details of very long file sets. On one run all is fine and on the next one with the same list of files some nice little crash will happen. At this moment I'm really pissed off ...

A help file would be nice. But before the release of version 1.0 I don't have the time to do this.

I will implement this when that f***ing crash problem (see above) is fixed.

Yeah, think I'll implement some kind of options/preferences menu for this stuff. But not in the next release, sorry.

I get:
File Version 0.8.0.0
Description Trader's Little Helper Setup

And that's it. There are some more bits in teh comments, info, etc box.

Is that what you were hoping for? The Copyright field was blank.
BTW, this is the name of the file itself: tralih08043.exe

[Five]

did you also install the updater to bring it up to v0.9.1 Build 48?

It's at the bottom of the page:

hope this helps

[symon]

Yup

Same details, but the version is 0.9.1.0

Symon, not the setup file "trahih08043.exe". You have to look at the *installed executable* of Trader's Little Helper which is named "tralih.exe" (there's no number in the file name, a number is only in the setup file name). "tralih.exe" is located in the installation directory (default is "C:\Program files\Trader's Little Helper\").

[symon]

Ok. Sorry

Yes - Version, Description and Copyright info all present and correct.
Version 0.9.1.48

[roann]

Ok ... not a Windows problem. I'll recode the "read version info" part and post a link to a test version with different ways to get this info. So you can tell me what kind of routine to use.

BTW what's up with that one flac file you had problems with ???

[symon]

I just rechecked it.
Still getting the Error: Invalid data box.

I can do an info mode check under Audio file details. Would that give you any clues?
