(I think, though I'm not entirely sure, that)The asterisk acts as to tell the checksum part of TLH to also check for subdirectories that may exist in the main folder, as well as checking at the level of the main folder. No members have liked this post.

Re: Trader's Little Helper
Hi lintoni, thanks for your response.
All of the files are in the same directory, there are no subdirectories involved in this one. I can probably do some screenshots later, but for now I'll just copy/paste command prompt text. ---------- D:\shnflac\badhat1994-09-10>dir Directory of D:\shnflac\badhat1994-09-10 03/16/2010 10:17 AM <DIR> . 03/16/2010 10:17 AM <DIR> .. 06/04/2001 03:12 PM 537 badhat94-09-10.txt 03/16/2010 05:13 PM 522 badhat94-09-10d1.md5 06/01/2001 09:29 AM 9,291,581 badhat94-09-10d1t01.shn 06/01/2001 09:27 AM 57,237,065 badhat94-09-10d1t02.shn 06/01/2001 09:27 AM 38,029,605 badhat94-09-10d1t03.shn 06/01/2001 09:22 AM 34,337,337 badhat94-09-10d1t04.shn 06/01/2001 09:23 AM 17,417,285 badhat94-09-10d1t05.shn 06/01/2001 09:24 AM 52,847,225 badhat94-09-10d1t06.shn 06/01/2001 09:28 AM 41,631,473 badhat94-09-10d1t07.shn 06/01/2001 09:25 AM 20,781,517 badhat94-09-10d1t08.shn 06/01/2001 09:25 AM 24,500,565 badhat94-09-10d1t09.shn 06/01/2001 10:02 AM 406 badhat94-09-10d2.md5 06/01/2001 09:32 AM 16,303,449 badhat94-09-10d2t01.shn 06/01/2001 09:35 AM 102,499,229 badhat94-09-10d2t02.shn 06/01/2001 09:29 AM 30,203,937 badhat94-09-10d2t03.shn 06/01/2001 09:30 AM 27,614,021 badhat94-09-10d2t04.shn 06/01/2001 09:31 AM 36,921,217 badhat94-09-10d2t05.shn 06/01/2001 09:36 AM 42,521,637 badhat94-09-10d2t06.shn 06/01/2001 09:32 AM 60,340,357 badhat94-09-10d2t07.shn 19 File(s) 612,478,965 bytes 2 Dir(s) 70,231,306,240 bytes free ---------- So you can see, the *.md5 files are in the same directory as the *.shn files are. I'm running the same md5 with both md5sum and TLH the same way, the same exact md5 file, it's just that one passes and the other doesn't. The files are good though, I know that because (to use an example) if i take a line from the md5 such as: a673de680149885087984b512cfc46ac badhat94-09-10d2t01.shn (which checks ok in md5sum and fails in TLH) and change it to: a673de680149885087984b512cfc46ac *badhat94-09-10d2t01.shn It will check as OK in both md5sum and TLH. Thanks again for any insight anyone has, toaster No members have liked this post.

Re: Trader's Little Helper
@toaster4:
Do you have the latest release (v2.5.0 build 164) installed? If not, please upgrade. There's no definite standard how a line in a md5 checksum file should look like, unfortunately. Most used is <checksum><space><asterisk><filename>. Sometimes the space is missing, sometimes '#' is used instead of '*', sometimes the asterisk is missing (to name just a few other structures around). The asterisk is used to tell where the filename begins. If the asterisk is missing the space takes the place as delimiter. This introduces a problem: If a filename does not have any leading spaces there may be as much spaces between checksum and filename as you want. But if leading spaces in filenames are permitted, you need to specify how many spaces are used as delimiters to recognize filenames properly. TLH assumes that leading spaces in a filename are permitted. If there is no asterisk found the first space following the md5 checksum is taken as delimiter and anything following that first space as filename. In other words: If there is more than one space between checksum and filename TLH reads a filename with at least one leading space. But if the filename on the hd does not have any leading spaces and a md5 creation tool was used that puts say five spaces between checksum and name the verification will fail.

Re: Trader's Little Helper
I'm having some issues with Trader's Little Helper on my new installation of Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit.
I installed the latest version, 2.5.0 (Build 164). The first thing I noticed is that drag and drop functionality does not work, but I can add .wav files through the "Add..." option. After encoding is done, I get two errors: then At this point, TLH seems to hang, but all files have been correctly processed, and the verification file has been generated and verified successfully. Any ideas? No members have liked this post.

Re: Trader's Little Helper
(1) Drag & Drop:
Options > Preferences > Shell integration, mark Integrate TLH into Windows Explorer, press Apply, close TLH, reboot. If it still doesn't work, go to Options > Restore shell integration, close TLH, reboot. (2) Error There isn't anything to save (process log is empty): This comes up if you press Save and there's nothing logged (it's only coded in the procedure called when that button is pressed). When processing a task the Save button is disabled so this error message cannot be displayed. (3) Error Cannot focus a disabled or invisible windows: Did you try to drag/drop or add files via Windows Explorer context menu when TLH already is processing a task? No members have liked this post.

Re: Trader's Little Helper
Wow, thanks a lot! This _really_ helps since it answers all the questions I had (though you had described the issues in detail earlier).

Over the weekend (if not earlier) I'll try again to find the debug messages (should work this time with the help of your video). I hope the "undiscoverable" code lines / commands somehow are the reason for the issues you described, but we'll see... Robert No members have liked this post.

New release available
Just upped the new version 2.5.1 (build 165) (get it here, or use TLH's build-in Check for update function in the Help menu). This release fixes the issues deadhoarse had reported (see posts above; thanks again for all the details).

Re: Trader's Little Helper
Hi Folks--
I've installed trader's little helper 2.5.1 from http://tlh.easytree.org/. I'm running XP SP3 on an AMD 64 with 2GB of ram. When I try to use TLH to convert shn>flac, it hangs indefinitely, usually on the first file. In the process log, I see, e.g., "gd84-03-28d01t05.shn: intializing......." and the stream of dots just gets longer and longer. On one occasion it converted a few files and the process showed "converting" with a steadily increasing percentage before getting stuck again at "intializing......" I've tried right-clicking on the files I want to convert in windows explorer, I've tried dragging and dropping from windows explorer, and I've tried using the "Add" button within TLH to select the files to convert, all to no avail. I've also rebooted between each attempt to convert. Does TLH have some kind of error log so I can try to figure out what's hanging it up? The software page warns not to "replace any of the console applications installed by the setup file with older or newer releases. This may cause Trader's Little Helper to malfunction." I haven't replaced any of them, but it is possible that the versions of FLAC and LAME I had already installed were newer than the versions TLH looks for. I can't tell from the download page which versions TLH requires. Thanks for the help. No members have liked this post.

Re: Trader's Little Helper
More information: if I open Windows Task Manager while Trader's Little Helper is initializing and kill shorten.exe, then it starts converting and soon thereafter I get the "successfully converted" message. With each new file, I get a new instance of shorten.exe, and if I kill each instance of shorten as it pops up, the file will convert.
