Hi everyone, Today, I’d like to share the newest tool I’ve developed. It is a Graphical User Interface (GUI) for Dropbox’s new divANS compression software: The GUI is similar to the one in cmix_gui, which is another GUI I made for the cmix compression software. This tool allows you to compress files and folders and extract .divans files. The project has been developed in the Visual Basic .NET language using Visual Studio 2017. It is compatible with Windows 10. Compressing a file or folder…
Repository: https://github.com/moisespr123/cmix_gui Hi everyone, Today, I’m proud to announce the release of cmix_gui v1.1. This version makes an interesting change to the software, which brought some internal coding in order to make this work. The main feature here is that the Command Prompt window no longer shows with the cmix executable progress. Instead, all of the progress is now shown inside a Rich Text Box element and you can also save the “log” into a text file. Here’s how the English GUI…
Hi everyone, Today, I have released a new version of my tool to manage your Google Drive account: Google Drive Uploader & Explorer Tool v1.8.5. This new version adds 2 brand-new features. Let’s talk about them now: File count added This version adds a file counter to the File List, so you know how many files are in a given folder when you browse it: In this example, you can see I have 28 files in this folder, which are eBooks…
Repository: https://github.com/moisespr123/cmix_gui Hi everyone, Yesterday, I introduced you to my graphical user interface cmix_gui, for the cmix compression software. Today, I continued working with cmix_gui and made 2 major improvements to it. File preprocessing v1.0r2 which I worked today morning adds support for the -s argument of cmix, which preprocesses a file using a dictionary (In this case, with the provided english.dic file). You can also throw a folder to the software and it will preprocess each file inside the folder and subfolders. Also note that…
Repository: https://github.com/moisespr123/cmix_gui Hi everyone, Today, I started working on a new GUI (Graphical User Interface) for another excellent compression software which works only on the command line. This compressor is called cmix and was created by Byron Knoll. It is also open source and released under the GPL license. This is what cmix looks under the command prompt: It’s very simple to use there. If you want to compress a file, you pass the -c parameter along with the input file and an output…
Hi everyone, Today, I’d like to share with you a Python script I wrote that enables file and folder compression using the latest version of the powerful PAQ8PX compression software. PAQ is a compression software originally developed by Matt Mahoney and released under the GPL license. It has a lot of contributors and has had lots of changes since it was originally introduced. PAQ8PX is one of the most powerful (and slowest) compression software that is actively under development. You…
Hi everyone, Today morning, I continued working with the Google Drive Upload Tool I wrote last year. This time, I implemented a feature that lets you know the copy progress when a file is being copied to RAM before uploading it. This required some code changes and a little refactoring. First, the UpdateBytesSent function was updated, with a new Delegate Sub invoker for when we need to invoke certain elements. It also now requires the passing of parameters BytesSent, StatusText, and startTime: By doing this code rewrite,…
Hi everyone, In these days, I’ve been squashing bugs in the Google Drive Upload Tool software. Bugs fixed in the latest commits are the following: Fixed exceptions when renaming file/folder or restoring file/folder There was an error that occurred when no file or folder was selected and attempting to rename it or restore it from the trash. The issue was fixed by checking if the Listboxes are not nothing: Fixed an annoying issue after pressing CTRL + <insert shortcut key…
Hi everyone, So yesterday, I released v1.8 of my Google Drive Uploader & Explorer v1.8. Turns out that the release had a bug relating to uploading files when using the “Copy File to RAM before uploading if there’s enough Free Memory available” option. v1.8.1 fixes this issue The problem was that sometimes the RAM copy would be larger than the actual file because it used a buffer size (where a chunk of data was stored before moving it to RAM) of 1 MB….
