| | Posted: | | | | Wigram, thank you for the feedback. I always appreciate that. Quote:
when the profile has discs but the location/slot fields are empty, the results show commas Yes, that's kind of by design. Whenever the result is multiple values they are comma separated, even if those values are blank. If not all of them are blank, the commas will help identify which is which. However, I agree that it looks stupid if they are all blank, leaving only the commas. I'll make a note of this, and I'll see if I can come up with an easy fix to remove the commas if none of the instances have a value. | | | My freeware tools for DVD Profiler users.

This will be fixed in 3.9.0 when it is released. Thanks a lot for looking at it. Now, I have a new problem. I had to re-install DVD Profiler after some layout problems. Those are now fixed. However, when I run Profiler Query and try to save a flag set, I get an error:  I downloaded Profiler Query again, to no avail. Did I break something?  | | | | Last edited: by Wigram |

| | Posted: | | | | No, I don't think you broke something. It could be that I have overlooked something. I have assumed that the Flags folder is created during install. It could be that it isn't created until you actually save a flag set in Profiler.
I look for the folder at Documents\DVD Profiler\Flags. Do you have such a folder? If not, try saving a flag set from Profiler and check if the folder is created. If so, ProfilerQuery should work.
Let me know, so I can fix ProfilerQuery before I release 3.9.0. | | | My freeware tools for DVD Profiler users.

...folder at Documents\DVD Profiler\Flags. Do you have such a folder? I do. Before re installing DVD Profiler, I took care of copying my flags (and HTML windows, reports, etc) elsewere and put everything back after re install. |

| | Posted: | | | | Ok, I wasn't remembering correctly. I actually check the registry for the path:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Invelos Software\DVD Profiler->PathFlagSets
It would appear that either the name PathFlagSets does not appear in that registry key, or the value associated with that name is blank. Could you check that? | | | My freeware tools for DVD Profiler users.

| | Posted: | | | | You got it!
I checked and sure enough, there was no key for the flags path (and none for reports, filters, layouts, etc., either). So I went in DVD Profiler and temporarily changed, in Options/File Folders, the path to flags. Upon checking the registry again, all path keys have appeared. And Profiler Query now finds its way. It seems to be a problem of the DVD Profiler install (or of the way I re installed), and not of Profiler Query.
Thanks for your prompt help! |

| | Posted: | | | | There is a bug in ProfileData.dll version 1.7.0 that shipped with ProfilerQuery. If you try to use "Credited As" as selection or presentation in ProfilerQuery, you'll get an error. This is fixed in ProfilerData 1.7.1 that comes with NameCheck. You can copy that file from NameCheck and put in the ProfilerQuery directory, overwriting the old file, and things should work.
Notice though: If you have Credited As in selection or presentation, saved from a previous run, you need to remove that and add it again.
ProfilerQuery 3.9.0 will come with the corrected ProfilerData.dll. | | | My freeware tools for DVD Profiler users.

| | Posted: | | | | Well, since it seems highly unlikely that the specs for Profiler 3.9.5 will change I have released ProfilerQuery 3.9.0. It works with both the current Profiler and the beta (so should work fine with 3.9.5 when it is released). In addition to support for the new features in Profiler, as mentioned in the NameCheck thread this version has a better interaction with Profiler when you double click a row in the result. It works even if Profiler is minimized. It also contains the fixes for commas (as mentioned previously in this thread). And it comes with the corrected version of ProfilerData.dll. | | | My freeware tools for DVD Profiler users.

It works even if Profiler is minimized. It does not work for me anymore. Double clicking used to call the Select by UPC routine and go to the profile. Now it just give the focus to Profiler and nothing else. Same problem in NameCheck. |

Thanks for letting me know. Looks like I may have to change the timing. Will update. | | | My freeware tools for DVD Profiler users.

| | Posted: | | | | It turns out that Wigram's problems were caused by Profiler running as administrator. For a program to send keystrokes to a program that is running as administrator, the sending program must also be running as administrator. Two things to be aware of: - Restoring Profiler will not be possible if it is minimized to the system tray, only if it is minimized to the task bar. - If Profiler is restored from minimized it cannot be minimized again unless you first click on its icon in the task bar. If Profiler is running elevated, even that will not work, and as far as I have been able to find, there will be no way to minimize it again without restarting it. This is not a bug in ProfilerQuery, but rather an effect of how Microsoft has implemented the ShowWindow API. I have modified the code that restores Profiler from minimized so it restores to the size it had before it was minimized. I have also added Advanced settings in the Tools menu. Here you can adjust the timings for sending commands to DVD Profiler, if necessary. Version 3.9.3 | | | My freeware tools for DVD Profiler users.

| | Posted: | | | | Anyone interested in a localized version of ProfilerQuery?I have been playing around with the idea of making ProfilerQuery translatable. I have tested translating a bit of it, and it seems to work fine. I just don't know if it is worth the effort of going the whole way. I wouldn't be translating the DVD Profiler terms, though. That would require a major rewrite since they are so intimately coupled with the terms in the XML file (which are always in English). So I would like to know if there is any interest in having DVD Profiler in your local language? If not, I'm just going to file this under "interesting experiments". If there is interest, I would also need people to do the translation. It's not a big thing, it will probably end up being somewhere around 100 strings to translate. But that's a later question.  Yeah well, Swedish was the only language I could reasonably well test it with. I'm guessing there won't be an overwhelming number of requests for that translation. But maybe French or German or Spanish? Let me know what you think! | | | My freeware tools for DVD Profiler users.
