Hi Bruce,
I'm very happy to see you are still being super-productive, and I'm
looking forward to all your creations. (smile)
The volume control is certainly a cool feature of my RodClock, but so is
the manner of time announcements, that is, the repeats of the
announcements, and getting rid of the A.M. and P.M., not to mention the
soothing female voice.
Your clipboard app sounds really cool.When I need to get output of a
folder, I use a shortcut I added to "Send to," which runs the following
batch file:
(Note the colon characters, or REM statement, at the start of each line
are batch file comment tags.)
(When I want a specific kind of output, I just edit the batch file,
change the parameters, and run it.)
Start of code:
rem Appends alphabetic file list of specified folder to file specified
:: line below inserts a break in output file to facilitate readability
:: between subsequent uses of this batch file
echo ----- bookmark ----- >> "c:\my documents\zip\dirsave.txt"
:: /s switch in line below forces full path of each file
:: so, remove /s switch to list filenames only
:: Note that you have to use a default folder for the output
dir %1 /b /ogn >> "c:\my documents\dirsave.txt"
:: Next line opens the file with the program associated with .txt files,
normally, Notepad
"c:\my documents\dirsave.txt"
:The next line saves all the .wav files in a folder to a m3u playlist
:dir %1\*.wav /b /ogn >> "c:\my documents\dirsave.m3u"
:If you then move this file to the folder where the files reside
:you could just open the m3u file and Winamp would know the full path of
each file in the playlist
End of batch file
So, Bruce, that's how I do it.
Keep up the good work, my friend.
Take care,
Rod (smile)

Hi Rod,
It sounds like a nice feature for better sound quality.
I also have written a new Cuckoo clock program that works using several
file formats
and has adjustable volume. The present one which is on the app list only
uses the
WE Object Model Playsound and that is limited to no adjustments or file
types.
I got sidetracked on 2 other projects but will introduce mine soon and
maybe all
of them as one app.
One which also has the File to Clipboard in it, and probably all my
games. For I
am going to merge them all as one executable program that would also
work as a stand
alone outside of the WE App scriptor; as someone in PA. had requested
for users that
have no screen reader or not GW's reader.
It will also have it's own Jukebox or Mixer Player. Allowing you to
select what list
of music to play, how many times to replay it and adjust the volume and
replay and
more.
The thing I got side tracked on is the Clipboard app and it works but
have been adding
features to it. A quick sort routine which I already use in the
Uninstall program
will be added next for I do sorting of the file list selected in the
ClipFile app.
That ClipFile app allows you to select a batch of files and add or
append to the
clipboard list then if you wish, sort them,or open them and transfer all
the file
data to the clipboard.
I am working on other options like save all data to another file as well
along with
the sorting and such...
Having this Clipboard app called ClipFile brings another feature people
do not have
in programs. The ability to select files using Windows Explorer then
actually extract
the file names only and place them on the Clipboard text area.
By doing this it allows you to open files selected, copy it's data, copy
them as
well and also paste them just like the clipboard already does, but gives
you hands
on the names themselves...
I have been doing this the last 2 weeks and getting close to finishing
it as long
as I stop adding features to it.
Hopefully your app will work well.
Bruce

Hi everyone,
I thought you might be interested in a neat little app I put together:
a clock which can use Winamp to announce the time.
It takes a wee bit of smaarts and work to set up, but I think it's worth it.
Here's the URL:
https://www.gwmicro.com/App_Central/Apps/App_Details/?scriptid=1394
I hope you enjoy it, as much as I enjoyed putting it together. (smile)
Take care,
Rod Hutton
