Achilles Posted January 18, 2008 Author Share Posted January 18, 2008 Ah, thank you! Much appreciated.You welcome...To everyone, how long does it take you to download all the comics? I'm averaging 50 around seconds... but then again my internet connection is pretty miserable.. I'm just wondering because I don't know if anyone else would see the reason that I should create a GUI so that you can select which comics you want..

HeffeD Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 The current list took me about 15 seconds to download, but I can see choosing which comics you want to download being a useful feature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Achilles Posted April 13, 2008 Author Share Posted April 13, 2008 Fixed a bug I was having with the Breakfast cereal comic... It should work no matter what time zone you're in now.

theguy0000 Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 today's achewood comic was too big for my screen...may be helpful to add a scroll bar if needed The cake is a lie.www.theguy0000.com is currentlyUP images.theguy0000.com is currentlyUP all other *.theguy0000.com sites are DOWN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Achilles Posted April 14, 2008 Author Share Posted April 14, 2008 Wow! You're fast Thanks!Your new explosm link finder is greatly coded!Thanks to you too! today's achewood comic was too big for my screen...may be helpful to add a scroll bar if neededI've thought about doing that but I wouldn't have any idea how to.UpdatedThere is now a GUI that will let you select which comics you want. The progress bar is also now contained on that GUI. An ini file saves a history of what comics you like and don't like so you don't have to select each time. The code for the program has been significantly reduced again... It's now more orientated towards the individual functions (my learning of OOP affects my AutoIt scripting...). As always, thanks for the replies and let me know if you encounter any bugs or want any comics added.

HeffeD Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 Get Fuzzy seems to mess things up. I can retrieve all comics except Get Fuzzy, which produces a blank tab. If Get Fuzzy is added to the list of comics to download and view, all tabs up to and including Get Fuzzy are blank. The two after Get Fuzzy are the only ones shown. Yes, a scrollbar would be nice if you can figure that one out. Nice work on the script. I really enjoy this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monoceres Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 Can confirm the same problem here, everything worked fine until the new GUI came along. Broken link? PM me and I'll send you the file! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james3mg Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 (edited) Re: scrollbars...what if instead of using pic controls to show the comics, you wrote temporary html files and displayed them through an IE COM object on each tab...then it would add the scroll bar as necessary, automatically. Is it purposeful that your GUI doesn't add a taskbar button? It's easy enough to fix in the code, but it's kind of annoying for a default style. Did you have a reason for doing that? One more thought for an addition...what if you added a 'previous' button that would let you view past comics (maybe up to 30 days...most places probably don't keep their old comics online past that anyway) by just subtracting the number of days from today's date and reloading the appropriate files for that date? And I see a blank tab for Get Fuzzy, but everything before and after it works. I've selected Calvin and Hobbes, Dilbert, Garfield, Get Fuzzy and Peanuts.

Re: scrollbars...what if instead of using pic controls to show the comics, you wrote temporary html files and displayed them through an IE COM object on each tab...then it would add the scroll bar as necessary, automatically.I might try that if Achewood keeps on producing massive comics strips.Is it purposeful that your GUI doesn't add a taskbar button? It's easy enough to fix in the code, but it's kind of annoying for a default style. Did you have a reason for doing that?I think you mean a tray icon because there is definitely a taskbar item for this, just like most GUI's. If that's not what you mean let me know, but if it is what you mean then yes, I do hide it on purpose because it would serve no purpose in this script.I'll look into your suggestion.
