To my knowledge TLH was never able to do this.

Most likely this was my decision - I coded TLH.

I'm currently using 2.6.0 build 168, which has a completely different GUI from the one I used before.

It did, and marvelously. I was able to select up to 15 folders, right click, and have it pass all of them for decoding/encoding. Now, it complains if I try to pass more than one directory, which slows me down immensely. It's enough to make me stop using the program altogether, which I pretty much have. The batch function was what sold it for me. Can I have it back?

The latest release is v2.6.0 build 168, the first release with the new GUI is v2.0.0 build 142, the last release with the old GUI is v1.1.1 build 90. Starting with v1.1.1 build 90 (or v1.1.0 build 89; not sure about that) no release is able to process more than one folder.

But you're right, v1.0.0 build 72 (released in October 2005) actually is able to process multiple folders. I don't remember why I changed things back then (there must be a reason). So I have to take a look at the source code of both releases. But do I still have the files for releases prior to build 90? Where the hell are my old backup DVDs...

Anyway, there will be a new release soon (probably next week). If there's a way to get your most wanted feature back to work it will be included. Stay tuned...

Is there any way to have the "Create Checksum File Type" saved from session to session?

Thanks

Options > Preferences > Create checksum file. Choose the type using the Type of checksum file to create box, and press the Apply button.

I have it set to MD5 in there, but when I encode, it always defaults to FFP

So the checksum to create is related to encoding. Here the type of the checksum file to create cannot be saved from session to session.

Well, I am no programmer, but isnt there at least a way to "flag" the item in the dropdown menu that could be coded into the preference section of the tool?

Re: Trader's Little Helper

Hi Roann,
I would like to echo gluttony's sentiment about the multiple folder processing. If its possible to bring it back, I would really appreciate it. I haven't used TLH in a long time and was disappointed to find this feature missing in the latest version.

Thanks for all your hard work and support on this incredible tool!

Re: Trader's Little Helper

How can I add TLH to File Menu Tools so I can click on a single file or list of selected files and send it to the TLH interface?

I have TLH integrated in explorer, but it only works on folders, not files. I need TLH to work on one or a few files a lot of times, so I wanted to add it to File Menu Tools. I need a program and the arguments.

Program is easy:
C:\Program Files\Trader's Little Helper\tralih.exe

But what are the arguments? If I send the filename(s) with or without paths, TLH says the parameters are incorrect. I assume TLH expects an option like -in or -files or something, but I cannot find the documentation for that...

Any help is appreciated for this otherwise marvellous tool!

It's a little trickier than you might think because it depends a) on the OS you're using and b) on other programs who have registered for the same file types as TLH.

Please start TLH and try Options > Restore shell integration. If this doesn't help you'll have to wait for the new release that among other things fixes all the issues with integration into Windows Explorer context menus. The new installer will be available (most likeley) around the next weekend.

Re: Trader's Little Helper

Is the user manual for TLH still available? When I try to access it it says its only available in the older versions.

I'm very much interested in learning all the in's and out's of the program as I am currently quite ignorant on the subject.
