1. a (custom) wave sound was played at the end, so that we know when a backup / copy is completed
2. a (custom) wave sound for name collisions ask, so that no more upseting when come back near the computer
and had a recovery name question at only 2 minutes of an hour copy !

( and, after some first release, it should be good to have some ending sound for short and another sound for long operations )

Code: Select all

Some info from the change log:

Code: Select all

    + Tweak to define a sound to be played after the completion of each 
      background job *if* the job was at least of a configurable duration.
        BJSoundJobDone=<full or portable path to a WAV file>
        BJSoundJobDuration=<number of seconds>
      BJSoundJobDuration defines the number of seconds a job has to take 
      at least in order to trigger the sound defined in BJSoundJobDone.
      For example:
        BJSoundJobDone="bum.wav"
        BJSoundJobDuration=66
      Now each background file operation that takes at least 66 seconds 
      would trigger playing "<xypath>\bum.wav" on completion.

    + Tweak to define a minimal duration of all background jobs within 
      one queue until the sound defined in BJSoundAllDone is played.
        BJSoundAllDuration=<number of seconds>

    + Tweak to define a sound to be played when all pending background 
      jobs are completed.
        BJSoundAllDone=<full or portable path to a WAV file>
      FYI, a "portable path" supports environment variables and native 
      variables, and, if not full, is resolved relative to app path.
      Note that the sound will be asynchronously (=non-blocking) played 
      one time to its full length and at the current system volume for 
      WAV output. The only way to stop it prematurely would be to 
      execute this script line:
        ::sound; // stop any playing sound
      Hence the tip: choose a short sound! :)

BJSoundJobDone="coagula_iss_rcs.wav"
BJSoundJobDuration=1

after have put the wav file into my XYplorer folder, but nothing happens.
Then, i have the message "BJSoundJobDone" is not a valid script command.

So there is nothing to do i think. So this is a whish :-)

so i have done and put well in the .ini file, restarted, checked that all was ok,

but after all tryes, it seems to not working.
is there any hidden thing to do for activate all tewaks ?

Well, you have to tweak like thi:
viewtopic.php?f=10&t=3543

Next your wav file should have full path, if you provide only the name XY has no way to know where it is.

Also, don't create new keys, locate the key and add the wav file next to it.

Asking the obvious, did you enable background processing in config's file operations?

Simply paste something like this into the address bar (of course with a file you have):
