| | Posted: | | | | Thank you ever so much. I wish HTTPJolie worked on my machine. But I'm glad it will work without it.  | | | | Marty - Registered July 10, 2004, User since 2002. |

| | Posted: | | | | DvdpScheduler 2.6.5Minor update. In a previous update, integration with HTTPJolie was disabled if HTTPJolie could not be contacted (for example if DVD Profiler was not running). This could leave it disabled even after HTTPJolie was again made available, without the user noticing it. I have added an indicator to show the integration status:  There has also sometimes been a timing issue that prevented command files to be executed when HTTPJolie was not used. The name of the command file could be pasted inte the wrong field. I have added extra waiting to try to make sure that this doesn't happen. I have tested it several times and it has always worked OK, but I cannot guarantee that it will work 100%. Please let me know if you see it fail again. | | | My freeware tools for DVD Profiler users.

| | Posted: | | | | DvdpScheduler 2.6.6Something, most likely a Windows update, has caused a certain command in AutoItX to stop working. This made DvdpScheduler hang after it had finished a backup. You had to close and restart it for it to start working again. I had hoped that the latest version of AutoItX had fixed that, but apparently not, so I had to find a work-around. This now works as intended again. | | | My freeware tools for DVD Profiler users.

| | Posted: | | | | DvdpScheduler 2.6.7The timing of the backup didn't work as intended, instead it reported that the backup took less than a second. Wishful thinking. Not a big problem unless you had configured another task to run after the backup, in which case DvdpScheduler would not wait for the backup to finish before trying to run that task. | | | My freeware tools for DVD Profiler users.

| | Posted: | | | | DvdpScheduler 2.6.8Well, it seems that the fix in 2.6.7 didn't work quite as intended.  Trying to watch the progress window in DVD Profiler turned out to be a little more complicated than I initially thought. I found out that the progress window is always there, only it is invisible when not needed. If HTTPJolie is used, I no longer check the progress window, because HTTPJolie will tell me when a command file is completed. When HTTPJolie is not used, I still have to check the progress window, but now to see if it is visible or not. That seems to work. Please note that selecting to start DvdpScheduler on Windows startup is not a good idea if you use HTTPJolie. DvdpScheduler should be started after DVD Profiler is running, otherwise it will sense that HTTPJolie is not available, and disable HTTPJolie integration. You can start DVD Profiler and DvdpScheduler in the proper order on Windows startup by using SlowStarter. Just make sure you give Profiler enough time before starting DvdpScheduler. | | | My freeware tools for DVD Profiler users.

| | Posted: | | | | DvdpScheduler 2.7.0 I had long planned to add "On demand" as a scheduling option, and I finally got off my butt. It's basically the same as if you have "Once" with a passed date/time, but it's more obvious that this is never intended to run on a schedule, but only when you press the Run button. Please note that when a task is scheduled to run, your PC needs to be logged in. There is no way to control DVD Profiler otherwise. If you're not comfortable leaving your PC logged in, then "On demand" is probably the only useful option. That lets you start a single or multiple tasks with just a click of a button. I use that a lot, but I guess your milage will vary. | | | My freeware tools for DVD Profiler users.

| | Posted: | | | | I don't know if this is something that anybody is interested in, but anyway ... When I looked into adding a new command type into DvdpScheduler I realized that the code was really badly structured, so I decided to rewrite it from scratch. At the same time I added some improvements, the most significant of which is that all tasks are now run on background threads so that the program does not become unresponsive while a task is run. I also decided to make the user interface a lot more compact, and not open additional windows when adding events and tasks. I decided to only use HTTPJolie for integration with DVD Profiler, since sending keystrokes between applications is a lot less stable. So you do need HTTPJolie for this one.  DvdpScheduler 3.0PS DvdpScheduler 2.7 is still available for those who prefer that one. | | | My freeware tools for DVD Profiler users.
