Go ahead, man! Somehow I could never find a good resonance among audio freaks. Tell them!

Note that the Audio/Video Preview shortcuts work as well when the panel is down:
Space bar = Start/Stop playing.
Shift+Space bar = Restart from beginning

Download the latest TrackerV3 BETA version (v4.00.0140, 01-aug-2005).

Code: Select all

v4.00.0140 - 01.08.05 13:05
    + Menu Edit: new command "Selection Filter...". Now you can select a 
      subset of the currently listed files via pattern matching. For 
      example, *-* will select all files containing "-" in the name. Note 
      that the matching is hard-coded to be case-insensitive (a=A). Note 
      that if you enter no wildcards, wildcards will be internally added 
      (filter "b" => "*b*" => finds all files containing "b" in the name). 
      Just to spare you some key strokes.

It looks good.

Will the next development in TrackerV3 be to know what the user is thinking, and then execute the appropriate commands!

Download the latest TrackerV3 BETA version (v4.00.0141, 02-aug-2005).

Code: Select all

v4.00.0141 - 02.08.05 19:37
    + New keyboard shortcut: Ctrl+M  -> menu Edit/Selection Filter...
      Think "Match-select".
    + New command "Set Extension..." in menu File/Rename Special. Sets a 
      new extension to all selected files (replacing the old one, or 
      adding a new one if there was none before). Enter nothing to remove 
      any extensions.
      Folder names are skipped.
    - Menu File/Rename Special, removed the following commands:
      - Convert to DOS name
      - *.html to *.htm
      - *.htm to *.html

No, to the contrary: I invent ever more bizarre and gimicky new commands, and then manipulate the user into thinking they are important enough to execute them. :wink:

I don't think it to be a good idea. Convert to DOS name was a TrackerV-specific uniq feature, which could be usefull in some cases. Well, we did not need it very often, but however it was not absolutely useless as well. Please consider restoring it.

I thought the same and went back to test this feature again with v4.00.0140 but it didn't work anyway.
It returned an error message that the rename would collide with the DOS name that the file already has internally.

That's what I found, too :D So I thought: it's useless and it does not work, away with it!

Now, since nobody even noticed that it does not work: are you really sure you need this feature? For what?

This feture is not for every day using nor every week, that's why nobody quickle noticed this problem. But sometimes it is very usefull indeed. For instance when some problems with files long names occure and you need to rename files to restore access to them this feature may help. This is as any other recover or security software: you need it perhaps once at year - or never, but you prefer to have it "for any extreme case".

Use a renaming program like Renamer. TrackerV3 shouldn't try to do everything.
