Title: New - Auto Import
Post by: KingSparta on February 15, 2005, 06:57:13 pm: Unlike "Folder Sleuth" Auto Updeate Will Allow You To Have The Plug-in Search All Sub Folders (That Part Is Currently Working), And Then Import All [X] Checked Folders Into Media Center 11

As Like Folder Sleuth It Will Import Every So Many Mins, Hours Etc....

My Normal Way Of Saving To The Registry (The Other One Was A Test That Did not Work In All Cases).

Anything Else That Should Be Added?
Title: Re: New - Auto Import
Post by: CDvd on February 18, 2005, 06:46:15 am: It seems very nice, thank you very much!
I'll try it as soon as I'm back to home! ;D

I just have these suggestion/question :

- Is it possible for a program, MC or a MC plugin to be notified when something new is written in a particuliar folder?

(the same way explorer get notified and new files magically appear without the need to refresh the view (F5))

I know near nothing about windows programing but I'm pretty sure there's a way to know when new files are added to a folder without having to scan every so sec/min/hour.

- A really nice (and usefull) addition would be to optionally perform an automatic "Rename Files from Properties" (with differents rules for differents file types) for the new imported files. (something we would probably want to do after each import)

and once again.. thanks :)

I don't think so, not sure i get your point, maybe an example may help me understand (a picture is a 1000 words)

This will not work

1. it will only do one folder at a time
2. when you use "WaitForMultipleObjects" or "WaitForSingleObject"

this came from a developer site

Quote
The down side of calling the API is that the program becomes completely frozen and will not respond to mouse events until the folder changes.

so this may not happen

I will continue to look for more info

I don't see any changes to the program, unless someone comes up with something.

I think I found a way to do this but, what happens is spyware software will think it is "Spyware" because it checks on the system and what is going on.
Title: Re: New - Auto Import
Post by: KingSparta on February 19, 2005, 08:43:33 am: 1.0.1 does not use a timer, it checks folder change events, when it finds a event it adds it to a "To Do List" and starts scanning the folders that you placed in your list, if a folder is enabled in your list and it matches the changed folder then it will do a import on that folder only.

www.spartasoft.com (http://www.spartasoft.com)

since this program now is monitoring your computer you may get a warning with spyware software (i did with Microsofts AntiSpyware). the only thing it is doing is checking events, it does not spy on you and report this info to a higher god.

It Will come up as "MB ShellSpy (Key Logger)"

Title: Re: New - Auto Import
Post by: wglong on February 19, 2005, 06:00:30 pm: Ok, I've got it installed now and I can see the interface :P

I've selected my main directory and all of the artist directories under that to watch. I also made sure that the "watch folder" option is selected. Note that all folders are not being watched; however, the ones I was testing were.

- Copied over the network a new album, nothing happen, nothing in the event list :(

- So, thought I would try and copy over another album on the same machine. Also, nothing happen :(

Any ideas?
Title: Re: New - Auto Import
Post by: KingSparta on February 19, 2005, 06:07:35 pm: nope, but you can take a text editor and "create a new file" and save it to a watched folder (that is checked)

copying a file to a watched drive will not import.

I guess that might be wanted, i was more thinking that a downloaded file would be what would be imported
Title: Re: New - Auto Import
Post by: wglong on February 19, 2005, 06:30:38 pm: I guess I'm a little confused. ? What's the difference downloading a file into a watched directory compared to coping one? They are both creating a file in that subdirectory.

Here's my configuration: I've got a media server in the basement that has all of my MEDIA ;D on it. I use my main computer for ripping and downloading. So, I copy over a shared network drive any new media I want on the media server. I was thinking that this plugin would see the new files and add them to MC.

yes, but the OS already knows it exists so it is not a "new created file" and thats what i had it looking for.

ok try the new version 1.0.3

i just tested it and when you copy a existing file to a watched folder it should import it.

(Disclaimer: at least it worked here)
Title: Re: New - Auto Import
Post by: wglong on February 19, 2005, 07:55:34 pm: :o
Man are you quick. Especially for something that I didn't even pay for.

Ok, part of it worked. I was able to copy from one directory to another (watched) on the same computer and it triggered an import. The event log showed repeated events? Probably because of the time lag of copying all the files ::)

Start Import: 8:49:36 PM - 2/19/2005
Working On Folder: M:\MY MUSIC\ENYA\
End Import Import: 8:49:36 PM - 2/19/2005
Start Import: 8:49:36 PM - 2/19/2005
Working On Folder: M:\MY MUSIC\ENYA\
End Import Import: 8:49:36 PM - 2/19/2005
Start Import: 8:49:37 PM - 2/19/2005
Working On Folder: M:\MY MUSIC\ENYA\
End Import Import: 8:49:37 PM - 2/19/2005

It did not work copying over the network. Which is what I REALLY want to do :P
I want to copy from my main computer to a shared drive on the computer in the basement. The basement computer has MC and the plugin is watching those shared directories, but I guess it doesn't get the same Windows message that you are looking for when you do it locally.

EDIT:
Opps. Spoke a little too quick. MC11 does not have the new album listed in the library. ?
Title: Re: New - Auto Import
Post by: KingSparta on February 19, 2005, 08:35:39 pm: what is the extender of the file?

make sure what ever the type of file it is the extender is in a extender text box.

what should happen is the files should show up in the "recently imported" play list

I just copied a mp3 to my watch folder so that got imported.
Title: Re: New - Auto Import
Post by: wglong on February 19, 2005, 10:27:13 pm: There just mp3 files. I'll play around more with it tomorrow.
Thanks!
Title: Re: New - Auto Import
Post by: KingSparta on February 20, 2005, 05:54:33 am: I tweeked it a bit

once it gets done importing it will go back and check to see if there are more additions to the Todolist

I copied 11 files and all 11 was imported.

I also tested this on another computer with a new install

Title: Re: New - Auto Import
Post by: mark_h on February 20, 2005, 01:31:06 pm: Just started looking at this - VERY neat idea.

However, it lacks the functionality I require, and which I feel would make it truly useful.

My system is a media server (NAS) with multiple machines accessing the music on that system. The directory structure is

\\NAS\My Music\artist\album\*.[mp3|flac|etc]

What I'd like to do is tell Auto-Import to monitor '\\NAS\My Music' (i don't want to have to specify every directory below this), ie only the parent folder so that if any folder is added below this, ie in one of the artist directories or a completely new artist directory, that the music files in the new directory would be imported. Right now you have to specify every directory to monitor... which means if I add a completely new artist to my collection, auto-import will not spot them

Also, any way to have auto-import spot new files that were added while MC was inactive and import them too?

Rather than monitoring event logs, the simpler approach might be to take a map of the directory structure and simply look for changes and update/import as necessary? This would also get around the Spyware issue ;D

Best,

Mark

My system is a media server (NAS)

not sure about all this NAS Stuff

But there is a way to do one folder and all folders under it, and i can add that as an optional way.
Title: Re: New - Auto Import
Post by: mark_h on February 20, 2005, 03:50:50 pm: That would be truly awesome!

File monitoring is something that Windows Media Player does and which MC is sorely missing. Your plugin is a crucial piece of software IMO.

As for NAS, there's nothing magic going on - it's just a seperate machine which holds the files and all my other machines map a drive to it, ie they all use Z: which maps to the filestore on the NAS. So in Auto Import I might ask them to monitor Z:\My Music\ and that would be the music store on the NAS system.

Cheers,

Mark

is up it has a two option boxes you can select to monitor one folder

there is now a check box that you can select to monitor or no monitor all sub folders

let me know
Title: Re: New - Auto Import
Post by: wglong on February 20, 2005, 10:27:23 pm: Installed the new version 1.0.5

I've configured it to watch my main directory M:\My Music and all subdirectories. Now I'm getting events even when I don't add anything to that directory; however, I did notice that MC is writing/updating several files in that directory (*.jmd, etc). So there are files being updated from MC that must be triggering the plugin.

I tried to copy over the network to the shared drive and no events happen. Then I tried it on the same machine, and it sorta worked. I got events showing it found new media and the name of the files; however, when I went to look at the recently imported files nothing was there. The new album also did not show up in the media list.

So,
1) MC is writing some files for itself in the same root directory as my music files live and is triggering events. Then are not being imported because I'm not looking for those types of extensions.
2) Copying via a network drive from another computer is not working
3) Copying on the same computer is triggering events, but the music is not showing up in MC (at least for me ?)

Again, I'll play around some more with it. Thanks for you hard work. This plugin is a must!
Title: Re: New - Auto Import
Post by: mark_h on February 21, 2005, 02:50:17 am: Wow, you're fast! ;D

Just tried 1.0.5 - set it to watch my top folder and it did indeed see that I placed new files in them, but for some reason it didn't import the files? I copied some of the log below - perhaps it helps?

1) MC is writing some files for itself in the same root directory as my music files live and is triggering events. Then are not being imported because I'm not looking for those types of extensions.
The MC files are no longer triggering events. This is good! Let me ask here, were others not seeing this with prior releases? There are several files in my main music directory that MC is writing.

Quote
2) Copying via a network drive from another computer is not working
This is still not working for me. The monitored drive is not a network drive on the MC PC. It's just another drive; however, it is shared on the network. So, from my main PC I copy over a directory w/ MP3s and it's still not triggering an import.

Quote
3) Copying on the same computer is triggering events, but the music is not showing up in MC (at least for me ?)
This is now working! On the same computer, when I copy files into a watched directory they trigger an event and properly import into MC. It even got the cover!!!

So, #2 is still an issue in my setup.

If changes are made by computer 1, only computer 1 will see the changes since computer 1 made the changes.

now i have no idea and do not think it will allow another computer if mc was loaded with auto import will see the changes. Since it does not sence changes on the drives it sences what that computer is doing.

that said, i could add another option to scan the drives for users that have a computer hooked to a network that share drives, but this would need to work on a timer (basicly how i had the program working first).

Edit: But A Manual Import Can Be Done Directly In Media Center

I was going to, but beings that this is a plug-in and not a app, and also there were some drawbacks with it from what i was reading (like the app taking all the time slices), with this being a plug-in this would also make MC not be responsive. so i went the easy route and found a ActiveX control (free) that watches the system.

It is for download on My Visual Basic ActiveX Page At www.spartasoft.com (http://www.spartasoft.com)
with some other free ActiveX Controls. I plan to expand this with some code and sample apps in the future.

Nice art

so what your saying is if the file extentions exist, and there were imported into MC grab the field info and rename it, if the fields exist.

There is a problem with that, since i can not get that info until MC imports it.

I am not saying no but I will need to look into it.

That sounds easy, but I am not so sure about that and the way the SDK works

if you are using any programs that may block the install in any way to include any ad-ware type programs it will fail.

i sugest you uninstall the plug-in from add-remove programs in windows

then uninstall it under plug-in manager within MC

then remove the folder

c:\program files\Mark Farmer\Auto Import\

then download a new copy from my web site 2 times

(on the first time it may be real quick, and it really did not download due to a bug in windows)

then install

if you have the new build, you should see a file "Registry.reg" in the "Auto Import" folder

if you dbl click on that file it should attempt to register the plug-in (and the install program should be doing this) i included it just in case it may help.

yes it is

if it is not because the registry, and it is registered correctly

i will need to need to try thins on another computer.

if you go to my web site, you will see "Visual Basic" if you go into the ActiveX controls, you will see the control "mbshspy" maybe if you install it from that package and let me know if that helps.

here is a direct link

Post by: KingSparta on March 14, 2005, 11:02:40 am: do you have a file called

c:\Windows\system32\SHDOCVW.DLL

this is the Internet explorer browser control and the plug-in uses it.

I can not install this file.

if you do what version is it, right click properties
Title: Re: New - Auto Import
Post by: Monkeyboy on March 14, 2005, 12:47:58 pm: Tried the mbshspy package installer which reported to have installed correctly, this has not fixed it.

I can see you've been trying all kinds of things with Monkeyboy who seems to have the exact same problem as me. I've also tried 1.0.11 and the registry key addition with no success.

Now that I have access to my computer, I'd be happy to look up any information or try things to help you find the source of the problem.

Post by: Monkeyboy on March 16, 2005, 12:37:04 pm: msnell and Dragyn, have you fiddled with your XP installtions at all?
registry tweaks, or disabled any services?

I install from a custom made unattended cd I made which disables a few services as standard and has a few tweaks here and there. But there are no major changes and I have not had any side effects with any other programs.

Rich
Title: Re: New - Auto Import
Post by: msnell on March 16, 2005, 08:35:17 pm: Mine is a pretty standard install with all the latest patches. I am using the same OS (XP Pro) with all the latest patches on another PC. Auto Import seems to instal and run fine on it. The main difference between the two is the apps running on them.

Post by: fatt_fill on March 28, 2005, 09:49:03 am: Hi guys and gals.

I was having the same problem as Monkeyboy and msnell with XP Pro. I uninstalled the plugin using Winows Add/Remove and from MC's Plugin Manager. Then killed all processes that aren't needed, and CLOSED MEDIA CENTER. Installed the plugin again, open MC and clicked 'Start' in the Plugin Manager. And now it works!!!

However! - I get loads of random black boxes in place of what I assume is supposed to be text (see below)

I think I can fix that, it is a windows xp\skin\visual basic problem

1. what skin are you using?
2. I take it you have windows XP?
if you have windows xp what theme are you using?

I will try to reproduce it

thanks for the install tips.

my personal feelings is media center should not be running when installing any plug-in. i think because it is running in mode "1" (running all the time) media center should not be running. i think i remember a problem before and this was the solution.
Title: Re: New - Auto Import
Post by: msnell on March 28, 2005, 03:11:24 pm: Thanks for the suggestion FF. I just tried it, but I get the same error message. I tried things in the order you suggested, as well as several other variations. In all cases I get the same error message as before.

I did my installs with and without MC running, with and without a reboot after the uninstall, and with and without killing every running process I could recognize and safely turn off.

One thing which seemed to be a little different between mine and yours though...When I follow your instructions and remove the plugin from the Windows Add/Remove, it no longer exists in the Media Center plugin list (under Interface). If I swap your order and remove from the Media Center plugin list first, it still shows up in the Windows Add/Remove for me to uninstall.

In any event neither order works for me. I just thought this difference might provide KingSparta with some more insight into the problem I'm seeing.

Thanks.

It's just a hunch but I'd say adaware was my problem - probably blocking registry modifications.

King - re my skin - I am using XP Pro and have the Opus skin applied - entitled CodeOpusC in the display properties.

try the new build .12

Post by: fatt_fill on March 30, 2005, 08:55:23 am: King - I've downloaded the latest? version from your website.

It was marked as "Auto Import (Version 1.0.11)" but it does link to version .12.
0.12 does fix my problem re. the black boxes :) I also use Lyrics Finder (2.0.0) and Bios (2.0.1) and have the same problem with the black boxes and my skin on those, but they seem to work fine with whatever blind setup I have done - hehe

Thanks for such a quick fix, and with your continued efforts in producing such useful plugins - you should be on the MC payroll ;)

I get this one one machine of mine but not on the other. Hardware-wise they're not similar, but they've got similar software & all updates have been applied to both.

Unfortunately, the one machine I want it to work on, it doesn't and the one that I was just toying around with it & don't really need it, it actually works.

So I'm willing to help debug this issue, just tell me what I can do to help.

All 3 files you've listed previously exist (same vers on Both Machines):
winmm.dll (5.1.2600.2180)
mbshspy.ocx (1.0.0.0)
shdocvw.dll (6.0.2900.2627)

I am also have the same problem with MC 11, latest rev as of today and the latest version of your plugin. WinXPSP2..

My library is stored on a network drive, I wonder if the problem is related to that? What WinAPI functions are you using to watch for library changes?

Also, I am not doing this by a mapped drive but by supply the computername\directory

I am guessing this could be part of the problem.

I'm not sure how plugin loading works, but I'd assume either MC can't locate the plugin file, or the plugin starts to load and can't find a support file required.

I'll keep looking as I really need this functionality.

Could it be an issue with the MBShSpy app you're using? Or is MC not even getting this far before the error is displayed?

What about if the plugin just polled the monitored directories every x minuts to look for changes?

I'm happy to test a version without MBShSpy to see if this solves the loading problem.

When I search the registry, some entries are "Auto Import.ocx" others are "AutoImport.ocx" (without a space), also you seem to use Media Jukebox, not Media Center.

May have nothing to do with the problem, but I think we're all a bit at a loss.

The SDK Still Uses Media Jukebox In The Registry To Allow Plug-Ins To Register..

"Auto Import.ocx" others are "AutoImport.ocx"

That Could Be A Problem....

Can You Copy The Key And The Key Location For Me, Just Paste It Here In The Forum.

Because I Don't Have A "AutoImport.ocx"

Maybe you should remove it, and maybe it will work

can you do a search for "AutoImport.ocx" to see if you have that in your registry using "regedit" in "run"

Title: Re: New - Auto Import
Post by: rpalmer68 on June 13, 2005, 08:42:16 pm: Mark,

Have already deleted the entries, and also tried putting an AutoImport.ocx in the Auto Import Directory. Didn't fix problem. Entries seemed to be under Explorere so they shouldn't be an issue anyway.

Can you put some message boxes in the plugin at various stages so we can help identify where it fails?

I'm more than happy to help debug this issue, so feel free to email me any test versions you'd like me to try.

And now a button will pull up a folder browser

click on a folder, ok and it is added.

if you need to scan sub folders you need to add them manualy as well.

Version 2.0.3

I am hoping this will fix the reason it works on some but not other systems.

Post by: rpalmer68 on June 15, 2005, 11:39:01 pm: Both machines have the latest IE.

I've tried your MoveFolder.jpg plugin (use it all the time), it works on BOTH machines without a problem.

I don't have shdocvw.oca on either machine, but I do have a shdocvw.dll, which is older on the PC that isn't working.

The PC not working doesn't have the file msstdfmt.dll at all for some reason.

Have copied the 2 files from the working PC to the other, un-installed and re-installed plugin and it still doesn't load.

What other files does the installer install? I know I've had problems in the past when writing VB code that things like the versions of ctl3d32.dll and commdlg.dll can cause some strange things to happen.

VB4 will not work, You Would Need VB6

At Any Rate, I Put A New Build Up

I Used A Completely New Shell From A Working Plug-In And Pasted The Code Into It.

I Deleted All Of My Installs, And Installed It On two Computers It Worked Fine.
Title: Re: New - Auto Import
Post by: Bluesman on June 18, 2005, 10:57:01 am: Mark,
It works fine for me with 2.08 (actually marked as 2.09 in plug-in manager).
Couldn't get the previous build to import anything (2.04 I think)
I'm not searching sub folders, just one directory with about 1250 files in it, I placed 4 extra files into it and it found them , no worries
I'm new to MC but this is great to have devoted users provide useful applications like this.
thanks , this will be invaluable.

Title: Re: New - Auto Import
Post by: jwaters on June 18, 2005, 02:37:42 pm: I may have spoken a little too soon.... When I first set it up with a directory to scan, it automatically imported the items. However, as I add new files to that directory, it's not picking the new files up.

In playing around with it, it seems that if I change the folder to scan, then change it back, it will pick up the files on the first pass, but doesn't catch new files added on subsequent passes.

Anyway, hope this helps to troubleshoot. Thanks for all the hard work, KingSparta!
Title: Re: New - Auto Import
Post by: KingSparta on June 18, 2005, 04:00:20 pm: do you just have one import folder?

this maybe a bug in VB6, i may need to do a refresh on the folder

EDIT: Ver 2.0.10 Added A Refresh When The Folder Is Selected

also you can check

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\JRiver\Media Jukebox\Plugins\Interface\Auto Import\PluginMode

And make sure it has a "1" in it

A 1 means the plug-in will run all the time, and some of the first recent builds I forgot to change it to a "1"
Title: Re: New - Auto Import
Post by: rpalmer68 on June 18, 2005, 10:25:40 pm: 2.0.10 still doesn't work on my system, I still get the same MC error.

I have installed the plugin on 3 different XP systems, it works on two and doesn't work on the 3rd (the one it needs to workon of course!)

Mark,

Will the plugin run within VB6 to see if it is generating an error, or do you have to compile it for it to run from MC only?

Snuffy2 - Is the latest version working for you?

Richard
Title: Re: New - Auto Import
Post by: KingSparta on June 19, 2005, 06:55:52 am: you must compile to a OCX

here is a link to the VB6 runtime files

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;290887

try installing it on the computer it does not run on

there is just no reason it should not work.

2.0.11 is latest, 2.0.10 would import 2 folders of the same name
Title: Re: New - Auto Import
Post by: rpalmer68 on June 19, 2005, 08:15:45 am: I have already installed the VB6 runtime files.

I'm at a loss too, just can't see what's different between my three PC's that would cause the plugin not to work on one of them.

one thing you could do is install all of the plug-ins and see what ones do not work.
Title: Re: New - Auto Import
Post by: Bluesman on June 19, 2005, 09:00:05 am: Latest build works fine but in the log it just says it is importing from the folder, no details of files/filenames or no. imported.
Is this correct?
It would be handy to know how many have been imported.
thanks.
Title: Re: New - Auto Import
Post by: KingSparta on June 19, 2005, 09:20:31 am: thats correct

But i Feed it all files in the folder, MC only imports new files it does not already have.

so it is a bit hard to know what it already has without doing a bunch of things, and that would slow things down if you would need to do a search of the database for every file, for no reason other than to put the name in the log.

the sdk DOES NOT supports it but when you use

g_MJ.ImportFile (filepath & Filename)

if it had a

results = g_MJ.ImportFile (filepath & Filename)

where maybe "0" = not imported and else = imported

i am wondering if your runtime files are dated, maybe you can check on if you have the latest SP6 runtime files.

I think MS has a link for it.
Title: Re: New - Auto Import
Post by: rpalmer68 on June 21, 2005, 07:07:09 pm: Have just installed the full VB6 SP6 on the machine and now 2.0.11 works!

Previously I installed the VB6 runtime files as per your link from MS, and this didn't work.

So we now know these is a VB6 support file that is required that the distribution isn't installing. And I'd say it's one of the common control or dialog files.

The question is, which file? It's a but extreme to have to install VB6 & SP6 to get the plugin working.

Now that my PC works, I guess Snuffy2 is the only one that can test this.

Snuffy2 could you email a directory listing of you system32 directory to me, and I'll compare it to mine to see if I can spot the offending file.

I'd say some of the ocx files are the wrong version for the plugins compiled with VB6 SP6.

Try copying the controls from your working PC to the non-working one and registering them. Maybe do one at a time so we can determine which it is.

When I do a compare of your system32 dir and mine it's the comct332.ocx, comctl32.ocx and comdlg32.ocx that are either different or missing.

I just included some of the common dialogs in version 2.0.12 to see if that would fix the problem.

2.0.12 should also fix the problem you noted, (ref the both check boxes needed to be checked)

Can't test if the common dialog instal works, Snuffy2 is the only one who can test this now.

Doesn't seem to fix it. Sorry. What else can I test for you? Anything manually?

Post by: Twit on June 24, 2005, 12:02:02 pm: I know this is not a big help BUT I created an install package on the computer with VB6 installed. Using the example in the vb98 folder. "VB Enterprise Edition Controls.vbp". This i then installed on the other computer and now ALL versions are working v2x & v3x.

The install files are:

Uses1=MSVBVM60.DLL
Uses2=oleaut32.dll
Uses3=olepro32.dll
Uses4=asycfilt.dll
Uses5=stdole2.tlb
Uses6=COMCAT.DLL
Uses7=MSRDC20.OCX
Uses8=tabctl32.ocx
Uses9=MSFLXGRD.OCX
Uses10=comdlg32.ocx
Uses11=mscomctl.ocx
Uses12=MSCOMCT2.OCX
Uses13=MSINET.OCX
Uses14=Richtx32.ocx
Uses15=MSCHRT20.OCX
Uses16=MSWINSCK.OCX
Uses17=Msmapi32.ocx
Uses18=MCI32.OCX
Uses19=PICCLP32.OCX
Uses20=SYSINFO.OCX
Uses21=MSCOMM32.OCX
Uses22=msmask32.ocx
Uses23=MSDATGRD.OCX
Uses24=MSDATLST.OCX
Uses25=comct332.ocx
Uses26=MSADODC.OCX
Uses27=MSHFLXGD.OCX

And Msstdfmt.dll.

Not a huge help but it is one of those files that is causing the problem.

Later
Simon.

Was the new version of comct332.ocx included 2.0.12? If not, can you try including it in 2.0.13 (& registering it in the install)?

Website says 2.0.13, but installer says 2.0.12. It also doesn't work (same error). Also, I checked comct332.ocx and it was still 6.0.0.8450. Did you not put 2.0.13 on the website yet? Or does the new installer not install comct332.ocx correctly?

Post by: KingSparta on June 24, 2005, 02:20:59 pm: make sure you acualy downloaded the file

The Browser Does Not Always Download The File if A File With The Same Name Is In The Browser Cash.

If the Installer does not say 2.0.13 then the browser did not download the file.

I Just Uploaded It Again, There Was A Problem

Twit listed a bunch of files that he installed onto his nonworking PC that "fixed" his problem. I could do that, but I'd rather try to help you pinpoint the issue (no offence intended). So I compared the versions of the files Twit listed between my working & non working PC (a number of files were missing on the nonworking PC). Hopefully this list will help you narrow it down:

Post by: KingSparta on June 24, 2005, 04:47:41 pm: they are missing because projects only install in the install packet what is needed.

I will try to build a packet using the Microsoft installer and see what it includes, then use that info.

Post by: Snuffy2 on June 25, 2005, 10:49:21 am: 2.0.14 WORKED!!! ;D I guess I was just missing a few files (or just 1 key one). I'd bet I'm not the only one with these issues, so maybe inclusing those VB6 files in future installs would be beneficial.

I haven't actually gotten a chance to mess with the program. I'll get to that after this weekend.

Anyway, thanks so much for debugging this!! I'm sure it was a true PITA.

Thanx Again

Post by: betonmoewe on September 22, 2005, 11:39:52 am: Hello,

Can someone help me please ....?

I have downloaded the latest version of your autoimport plugin (2.0.15) but it doesn't work .... .The installation worked fine without error, but if I open the plugin, the "main tab" is EMPTY. The "setup" and "start" page have entries (like witch file endings and at wich time the plugin should run), but I have no possibility to select the dirs and all the other stuff. I use MC 11 (314 and the normal release version) under both versions the same behaviour.

I have found this thread and after readeing all the posts, I have downloaded and installed the latest vb6 runtime from microsoft ... nothing changed

how can I bring this plugin into work ?
