STUSK (Stupid site keeper)

Thanks again.

No worries.

Program:

Added: Export to Text, CSV and XML.
Added: Import from Text, CSV and XML (slow).
Added: Save Editorgadget contents as RTF.
Removed: Graphic from Data form.
Changed: Data form note field enlarged.
Incremented: Version number

Notes:

About the RTF save. There are no formatting buttons in the note and won't be from me as I don't need it, it's a case of you being able to copy and paste RTF formatted data into the note box from elsewhere and being able to save it as rtf data.

Miscellaneous:

I've separated more of the modules to their own sudirectories to make it easier to see the program flow. The XML import routine needs to be optimised but I don't care about that for now as I am using code I don't really understand and could break it accidentally at any time.That's all I can remember for now.

Spare procedures:

There are some spare procedures in some of the module directories that I have plans for so they are not enabled for now. In case you were wondering why they were there:)

Bugs:

I haven't found any here yet, but you never know.

*EDIT* Forgot to mention, if you have a lot of wrist pain from practically living on the mouse, you can also press ENTER on a record to edit it, not just clicking or using Control + E.

Nitpicking scmuck!! (No idea what a schmuck actually is, but I forget words I haven't used in a while)

Works fine here. When I encode the URL with the board message editor, it puts the %20 in place of the space. This works fine with FlashGet and Firefox, what are you using?

As per usual, I have no idea what I'm doing. Somehow the link in the post I quoted from is different than the link in the post now. The one there now works fine, the one from the quote doesn't.

Must be ie. Couldn't possibly be you or me

cheers

I've heard that!!

Somehow the link in the post I quoted from is different than the link in the post now. The one there now works fine, the one from the quote doesn't.

After you said that, I went back to edit the post, re-pasted the link again. But when I used the URL tags, it put the %20 instead pf the space in the filename again. Despite that, I could still download it with Firefox/Flashget

Must be ie. Couldn't possibly be you or me

definately not me. Must be that KKC character again

Anyone have anything they want me to add or fix except the multi-language (Sorry neotoma, that's too big a job right now) as I don't have anything else I need in this.

*Update*

A friend asked for categories so I had to add them in. Not a treegadget, just a drop down selector.

1. Categories are regenerated 'on-the-fly' from record contents when they are saved

a. When you start the program, the category box is filled alphabetically, there are no duplicates

b. Any records not containing a category will cause the category selector to contain the string "[Empty]".

c. The first category in the selector box is displayed and all records matching that are listed.

d. If there are records containing no categories, the first display in the category selector box will be the string "[Empty]" before all other category names and all records without a category are listed.

2. When you add a new record, the data form category box is autofilled with the same behaviour as on the main form.

You can select an existing category or overtype the one in the box which will be "[Empty]" to begin with.

3. When you edit an existing record, the data form category box is autofilled with the same behaviour as on the main form and the category selector is set to the one contained in the record itself.

You can select an existing category, overtype the one in the box or type in a new one.

4. Once all records have a category, the string "[Empty]" will no longer appear in the category selector. Use the searchbox to display more records based on strings of characters.

5. All forms altered to accomodate the new field.

6. Using the category selector to display records overides the search box selector and vice versa.

7. All the usual SQL search types have been added. E.g. Sounds like, greater than, equals etc.

Okay, that's all I need. The rest is up to you feral hamsters!

Okay, I lied. A couple of little things had to be done.

Added: Category mode includes Show empty category records, show all category records and records in selected category.

Added: Last category displayed is saved on exit and restored on startup.

Fixed: A couple of minor bugs.

Hmm, have I got to everything yet???

Just wanted to say thanks, great piece Fangbeast!
I always wanted to do something like this myself, now I know I shouldn't even attempt to
But as a beginner I'm betting there's a lot to learn from browsing through the code.

Btw, you forgot to include your SiteList.txt in the archive *cough* *cough*

Sorry I haven't been more responsive, but I'm trying to get a package ready for release and it's taking longer than expected (anyone ever had that happen before?).

I'll spend more time as I have some.

Thanks.

Grteat peice of what though?? (evil grin)

Not true. I am a rank beginner compared to others. But where others have great logic, they may lack in imagination, technique and lots of other things. Someone told me not to reinvent the wheel the other day and that's BS as you should always try to see if you can and learn from it.

But as a beginner I'm betting there's a lot to learn from browsing through the code.

I am still learning.

Btw, you forgot to include your SiteList.txt in the archive *cough* *cough*

Give up cigarettes, that smoker's cough is so bad.

I did not forget anything. That file is CREATED when you EXPORT the list of YOUR sites to a text file. You will just have to read my code properly:):):):)

Didn't know you were my one man STUSK appreciation society??? But thanks for the thought.

I'll spend more time as I have some.

I'm surprised I finish anything in between fits of coding, self pity and then bursts of feature creep!
