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, 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 the past few days, I changed the URL of the stats for the LHC@Home project. They moved the links and the previous URL was no longer working. This has been fixed and LHC@Home stats are now being included in the New User Report Generator: Additionally, There’s a problem that’s out of my control where the SETI@Home files seems to be corrupted or something. The software complains that the <users> tag in the XML file seems to be…

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….

Hi everyone, Today, I made an update to the Gridcoin New User Report Generator, which allows the software to be scheduled in order to generate the reports. Basically, what this means is that the GUI (Graphical User Interface) can be used to select the projects we want to include in the report and also generate the report, but also means that we can just use the terminal, pass the “-s” argument, and it will generate the report taking into account…
