When you paste the URL in the Browser URL textin gadget, you get promptly a requestet where to download though.

For the users of zzdDockies, history view is coming in MiniDock mode for the next zTools update.






edit : and the last ones

@zzd10h

This is so cool!! thank you:)

i have some suggestions, have an "Prefs" icon, and it opens a Prefs Center with some of the most used prefs, like the one i find at os4depot

http://www.os4depot.net/index.php?fun ... isplay&fileid=6425#6425_4


also if i may suggest, if you could ad FastHideDock or have option to ad it would be nice.

and having a Dock to Clean Up & Snap Shot drawers

just some suggestions, keep up the good work.


Edit:

having a "Close All Drawer" Dock (Only open drawers)
would be nice to have (to me at least )

@noXLar

If you purchased zTools, thank to you ;)

As you have noticed, the installer is not included yet, I have others things to complete before to release the update through AMIStore.

1) Prefs : the majority of my programs have, now, a Prefs windows.
And overall, at first start, the prefs window is opened, therefore, I don't see the interest to make a centralized prefs center.

2) "if you could ad FastHideDock or have option to ad it would be nice"
What do you mean, You can still add the monkey icon in your Dock, no ?

3) "Dock to clean-up and snapshot" :
Yes, why not, maybe a simple CLI command that you add in a docky ?
but did you tried reoerg_win ?

http://www.os4depot.net/index.php?fun ... /workbench/reorg_win.rexx

4) "Close all drawers"
Yes, too, it should be easy to do and certainly that it still exist (as a REXX script ?)

5) "keep up the good work"
Thanks ;)

@zzd10

Sorry about the delay, something came up.

yes, of course i bought your software package, it's a must:)

1) about the Prefs, your right, there is so many alternatives already, just when i modifying alot, i allways use the old way (open drawer) bad habit.

2) sorry, i meant screen title bar docky

3) haven't tried reoerg_win, shall do that first chance i get, but still a good idea, right:) hehe

4:) that would be super great, some times so boring closing them all.. please do:)

2) honestly, I don't promise to do it, because to make a docky is very time consuming on x1000 (because of all the long long reboot needed during crash... sorry, I meant during developpement ;) ) and as the program is ok for me in his current form...

3) I mapped reorg_win REXX to my PF1 key with FKey and it works very well. I think that it's what you wanted
edit : in the rexx, I just replaced CLEANUPBY.COLUMN by CLEANUPBY.NAME

4) there is a REXX in REXX:, CloseAllDrawers.rexx, I mapped it to PF3 key and it works very well. Try it ;)

@zzd10h

i know, just some suggestions. i'm happy for what you have already done, very useful:)

thanks for heads up with the REXX commands, i will try it out

in aTunes is there any way to sort by Album and have the track numbers in order? Currently when I sort by Album the tracks are out of order.

Thanks.

@ddni

I will try to see if I'm able to implement that. No promise ;)

@zzd10h

I downloaded the update and did the install, very smoot install indeed.
Now i am trying out webreplay and i cant get any result
webreplay is in the rexx directory and i added the needed webreplay contectual menus to odyssey


Before this install i was able( i am still) to view videos via Odyssey very slowly on my SAM 460ex. I don't remember if this is now standard on Odyssey or if i had to install some additional SW.

anyway i can not use teh Webreplay contextual menu when i hover over a video to be shown
Say http://www.premiere.fr/Cinema/News-Ci ... ld-Schwarzenegger-4093914

i have the contextual menu present when on the page
http://www.premiere.fr/
when i hover over the image of "Terminator 5 : le trailer est là"
Using the Webreplay menu shows me the list of sites i should be able to use.

What should i do ?

@JosDuchIt

Edit : and did you tested the new FastCompress function that you asked me ?

For WebReplay / Premiere, if I go to the webpage of the movie and RMB on a video it works.

See grab :

@zzd10h
I have smtube installed , can it be that there is some mutual interference ?

@zzd10h

Quote:

Niiiice !

@JosDuchIt

Did you read my reply and did you try to do like me on Premiere.fr ?

@Samo79
Yes but not the sexiest website ;)

@zzd10hQuote:

Yes it works as expected :)

The env variables are much appreciated too.

As this is also a suggestions thread, here are some more you may want to take on:
- make the programs present the template
eg
sys:> Fastlha ?
- heve a possibility (from the cli,) to just make the compression as requested, with no gui coming up.

@zzd10h



Webreplay does not work here as you demonstrate
Maybe because i installed it over the existing previous version.
(that's what the install script proposes anyway)

When using the Webreplay contextual menu i get a popup (not even on my Osyssey screen but on the Workbench) containing this image
file:///Stock:ztools/zTools/Multimedi ... ay/04_WebReplay_Total.jpg


Is the following correct ? Odyssey contextual menus
zTools/Multimedia/WebReplay/02_WebReplay_Configuration.jpg
image & link point to the same rexx program

@JosDuchIt

There is a "AUTOQUIT" tooltype to close the window as soon that the compression is completed.

@zzd10h

Yes, the WebReplay picture is correct.


Does the following CLI command works for you ?

rx webreplay http://www.premiere.fr/Bandes-annonces/Video/Paddington-VF A F

@zzd10h
yes at least now i see the "Premiere.fr" containing Webreplay window (on workbench that is) and ok hitting streamer it starts to play too (on Workbench)
