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…

Yet another update of the Google Drive software I wrote (v1.8.3)

Yet another update of the Google Drive software I wrote (v1.8.3)

Comments 0 Comment

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,…

The software complains that the <users> tag in the XML file seems to be…

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…

A very simple commit done today to the Gridcoin New User Report Generator software

Comments 0 Comment

Hi everyone, Today, I was looking at the Gridcoin New User Report Generator Software code and I did a simple mistake with one variable. Turns out I had a StreamReader object with the name MySQLFile in the GenerateReport.vb module. That object should have been named AccountFile as that StreamReader reads the account information to which the report will get posted. So I went and fixed it. The commit I made today is the following: Of course, this doesn’t affect the software functionality, but it does make…
