History
V1.0
NEW:
-
RECYCLE
BIN. Archive now
has a Recycle Bin function (enabled via option #21). Files can be ‘deleted’ to the Recycle Bin,
where they can be recovered if accidentally ‘deleted’ from Archive. The Recycle Bin can be manually emptied, or
emptied automatically at TAP startup or daily at
File/Folder Delete confirmation panels can now be made optional when using the
Recycle Bin via config option #21.
-
MOVE
FILE/FOLDER. Files
and folders can be moved to other subdirectories, or to the parent directory. This routine uses a TAP Extension that may
not work on certain firmwares.
-
RENAME
ON MOVE. Config
option #28 allows files to be renamed during a move operation if a file with
the same name already exists in the target directory. Folders are not renamed during a move.
-
NEW
FILE INDICATORS. Files
that are new since the last time Archive was activated can be indicated by a
star in column 1. Folders containing new
files, or subfolders with new files, will be indicated by a star. Config option #27 controls the displaying of
the new file indicator.
-
DELETE
NON-EMPTY FOLDERS. A
new config option (#18) has been created to allow you to prevent the deletion
of folders that still contain recordings or subfolders. If you set this option to "Cannot delete
non-empty folders" you will not be allowed to delete a folder until all
its recordings and sub-folders are deleted.
-
EXTENDED
INFO FONT SIZE. A new config option (#19) has been created to
allow you to specify the font size (small or large) of the extended information
displayed on the Info page.
-
SCROLL
THROUGH ENTRIES IN INFO PAGE. When
the Info page is displayed, you can now scroll through each of the entries in
the archive using the channel +/- keys without having to return to the archive
list.
-
GMT_OFFSET.INI
FILE. If the PBK
TAP GMT_Offset.ini files is present, and config option #26 is set to “Yes” it
will be read for the GMT offset and daylight saving information.
-
FILELIST
KEY HANDLING. New
config option#24 can be set to determine how the Filelist key is handled when Archive is active.
-
INI
FILE LOCATION. Archive will now look in the traditional
“UK TAP Projects” for its INI and logo files, and also “/ProgramFiles/Settings/Archive” for the INI and “/ProgramFiles/Settings/Logos” for the
logo.dat. “/ProgramFiles/Settings/Archive” will have priority if both
locations exist.
CHANGED:
-
FILE
DETAIL CHECKING.
Information about files and folders are now cached and checked at Archive startup so that we can now pick
up details of changes in file sizes for cutting of files and recordings ending.
-
FILE
DATESTAMP. Added
“YYYY*MM*DD” as a date stamp that can be picked up and removed on the Archive file display.
-
LINE
SELECTION. Info the Archive file list and Recycle Bin view
you can now directly jump to a specific line by using the digit keys
1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,0. “0” will jump to
the 10th line if it is displayed.
-
5100
FILE SUPPORT. Updated
to handle the descriptions in Topfield 5100 file headers.
FIXED:
-
Watched programs at 0% would
sometimes jump to 100% when playback was restarted.
-
Filenames with years (eg. Space
1999) would have had the year incorrectly truncated. Numbers are now only removed if they are preceded
by a special character (eg. Space-1999, Space_1999)
-
Opening an empty datafiles would
still allow the delete key.
-
Pressing Delete on a running
recording/playback in Archive after it has stopped would crash the Topfield.
-
File Info time would incorrectly
show 11:60am.
-
Configuring Archive via TSR Commander would end up with a duplicated clock
being displayed.
-
Recurring recording files may not
appear if preceding via auto deleted outside of Archive.
-
If the DataFiles directory was
emptied via file delete operations it would have caused Archive to crash.
V0.07
NEW:
-
OK/PLAY
KEY CONFIG. There is now
a new config option (#17) to swap the function of the OK and Play keys for
resuming/starting playback of files.
(Note: OK will always be used to open folders)
CHANGED:
-
NAME
SORT ORDER. When the
default sort order is set to "NAME", Archive will now open with the
first file highlighted in the current directory (ie. alphabetic) If there are no files, it will highlight the
first line.
FIXED:
-
Dates of 1 month ago will now show
as "1 mth ago" not "1 mths ago"
-
In the Config Menu the available
activation keys would reset to the 5000 model despite what was entered in the
Model Type field.
-
The UHF key could not be used as an
activation key for the TF5000 models.
V0.06
NEW:
-
LINE
NUMBER. A line
number in the clock bar in the top right-hand window now indicates the current
and maximum line number selection.
CHANGED:
-
LAST
PLAYBACK WARNING. If there is no last valid playback
file (eg. it was deleted) a message pop will now display when the Blue key is
pressed to restart the last playback.
FIXED:
-
Logos for Radio Shows would
sometimes show as TV Channel logos and vice-versa.
-
Put in place some OnScreenDisplay
checks to stop Archive from activating when other TAPs may be active on the
screen.
-
Fixed crash issue when scrolling to
a folder/file number that was larger than the number of entries in /DataFiles.
-
Fixed sorting of recording files
that don't have the file Attribute set.
-
Folders would sort in reverse
alphabetic order when sorting by size.
-
Fixed the play/resume of files that
don't have the file attribute set.
-
Archive would use the API call to
retrieve the event information for active playbacks, which would cut off the
description. Fixed to use the full
header info.
V0.05
NEW:
-
LINE
OPTION. There is a new
config options to allow either 9 (default) or 10 lines per page. (9 line option
also now puts a background graphic at the bottom of the display)
-
-
NEW
SCREEN BORDER OPTION. There is now a config option to turn
off the blue screen border around Archive and have it set as transparent.
-
NEW
RECORDING CHECKING OPTION. By default Archive will detect a
file as a valid recording by looking for ".rec" at the end of it's
name, and checking the file attribute is set for a valid recording. If recordings are transferred back to the
Toppy via Altair, they may not have the attribute correctly set, therefore they
will not show in the archive list. There
is now an option to ignore the checking of the file attribute and just check
for ".rec". WARNING: the
".rec" only setting may display corrupt recordings in the archive
list which may not play.
-
LIST
NAVIGATION. You can now page through the file list using the
<< (Rewind) and >> (Forward) keys as well as the existing Vol-/+
keys.
CHANGED:
-
NEW
STARTUP PROCESS. When
Archive is initially started (eg. from Autostart) it will scan the entire disk
and record file details. Each time
Archive is then activated, or directories are changed, it will do a brief
directory scan for new/deleted files (eg. ones that may have been removed via
AutoMove or AutoDelete TAPs) and show the archive. This should make subsequent invocations of
Archive faster.
-
DATE/TIME/SEQUENCE
STAMPS. The matching of date/tme/sequence stamps has been
updated to cater for the following:
"_#",
"-#", "_+", "-+", "*99*99 YYYY*MM*DD",
"*YYYYMMDD_9999", "*YYYYMMDD",
"*YYYY*MM*DD",
"*YY*MM*DD", "*DDMMYY", "*DD*MM", "*MMDD", "- DDD", " DDD", "-99",
"-9"
Where:
* = -_./
space
9 = 0 thru 9
D, M, Y = 0
thru 9 (therefore DDMMYY would also match YYMMDD)
NOTE: There
is no actual checking for valid date or month values. Therefore 44-99-00 would match the DD*MM*YY
pattern.
Will now
match on multiple stamps. eg.
ER_27/11/05_# would reduce to ER
NOTE: Does
NOT reduce the combined JAGs recordings eg. "ER+
-
LAST
PLAYBACK FILE. If the last playback file is deleted, the last
playback entry details are now also deleted, so the Blue key will not try to
restart a missing file.
-
NEW
HELP SCREENS. Changed the format of the helps screens to show
the actual Topfield remotes.
-
WATCHED
ICON. The icon used to indicate that a show has already been
watched is now a more subtle, white tick on a blue circle.
FIXED:
-
The list help window would be
overwritten when the playback or recording information was updated.
-
The order of the date/time stamp
matching would mean some stamps were incorrectly matched.
-
If the FileName column was set to
display FileName (without date/time stamps) then a rename of the file was not
automatically updated.
-
Starting playback of a running
recording using PLAY would result in an error code=-1. PLAY and OK now both work for starting
playback of running recordings.
-
Pressing EXIT when "YES"
was highlighted in any of the Yes/No message boxes would still select
"YES". Fixed to always select
"NO" if EXIT is pressed.
-
Disk space time remaining would
sometimes show >60 minutes.
-
The parent-directory icon was being
printed for normal folders when moving through files.
-
Radio recordings would show the
wrong logo (would show TV logo).
-
If a show was being played at it was
> 95% through playing, the playing icon AND the watched 'tick' would both be
shown. Now the progress bar is always
shown for active playbacks.
-
The freedisk space graphical bar was
actually displaying the wrong way. eg.
if there was 20% space remaining the bar was showing 20% full instead of 80%.
V0.04
NEW:
-
COLUMN
OPTIONS. There are
now several configuration options to determine what information is shown in
each of the columns.
-
INFO
LINE. New option
to have either 2 lines of the event short description for the highlighted
progresm shown at the bottom of the screen, or 1 line plus additional recording
information (Channel name, date recorded, size).
-
SORT
/ DISPLAY WITHOUT DATE/TIME STAMPS. Filenames
are now sorted, and can be optionally shown without date/time stamps. (eg. ER-1, ER-2, ER 28/12/2005, etc will now
all sort on "ER" and then the date, and can all be shown as
"ER" in the filelist) (Detects the following stamps: "_#",
"-#", "-9", "-99", "_+",
"-+", " DD/MM/YY", " DD-MM-YY",
"DD.MM.YY", " DD/MM", " DD-MM", "
MMDD", "- DDD", " DDD", " YYYYMMDD",
"DDMMYY")
-
FILE
DELETION. You can now delete a file that is currently playing
back without having to stop the playback first.
-
RECORDING/PLAYBACK
STOP. You can now stop an active playback or recording from
the filelist by pressing STOP.
-
HELP.
Pressing RED key will display a help screen for
Archive operations
-
DEFAULT
SORT ORDER New option to have a default sort order. Will be used each time Archive is activated.
CHANGED:
-
FILENAME
SIZE. Despite the
Toppy API allowing extra long filenames, it's been shown that filenames should
be restricted to around 60 characters.
Filename is now a max of 60 characters.
-
CURRENT
DIRECTORY. Archive will
now keep track of the current directory and will return to the directory that
was last displayed.
-
PROGRESS
BARS. There is now
a configuration option to control the colour/style of the progress bars show in
the file list for playbacks and recordings.
FIXED:
-
If the last file on a page was
deleted it would have crashed the Toppy.
