Magic Nodes 1.3b (IS OUTDATED SEE NOTE IN FIRST POST)

[Pablo]

Stupid first-time-user question:

I've downloaded magic nodes and put the script in my Scripts\Auto folder. When I launch MediaMonkey the menu items show up fine in the Edit menu. However, when I select "Create Magic Node" and enter a mask in the dialog box, there's no "Okay" button or something similar to tell the script to accept the input mask. <Enter> doesn't seem to work and if I just close the window no new magic nodes appear.

What am I doing wrong? Sorry about the ignorance.

That's very strange... there should be "OK" and "Cancel" buttons. Pressing enter doesn't currently work but it will work in the next version (for some versions of MM).

Which skin are you using? You can try enlarging the window in case the buttons are hidden, but it's very strange. The buttons should be located in the lower right corner.

[FurAnt]

I tried both the Aqua and Blue Monkey skins and tried resizing the window (even maximizing to 1200x1600) but no buttons. However, I just installed it on my laptop and it worked fine (I can see both the OK and Cancel buttons).

I'll try it again tonight on my home computer and see what the issue is.

Thanks for the quick response.

[FurAnt]

Okay, I'm stumped. I even tried copying my entire MediaMonkey directory from my laptop to my desktop and the problem still occurs on my desktop where neither the OK nor the Cancel button appears.


I also downloaded and reinstalled Windows Script 5.6 for Windows 2000 and XP to make sure everything was working.

All of my other scripts seem to work fine (although they are mainly export scripts).

I'll see if I can't dig up any other autostart scripts that use an OK/Cancel dialog.

[Pablo]

It looks as if the text box doesn't fit into the window. The buttons are located below the right end of the textbox, so if you keep enlarging the window rightwards they should eventually appear.

The position and size of that window is stored in the Windows registry, may be that's why copying the MM directory from your laptop didn't have any effect.

You can try the following: open the script file with a text editor (such as notepad), and look for the text

Form.SavePositionName

Erase the line containing that piece of text (the whole line should be something like Form.SavePositionName = "Remember position" ).

Let me know if that works.

Thanks for all of the insight guys. Yeah, Jiri responded that it's likely caused due to my DPI<>96.

So, I'm back at work again, but I'll implement these changes hopefully tonight. Thanks again all. Can't wait to start building some Magic Nodes.

Thanks for the help. I made the changes and I'm now creating my own magic nodes. It works by hitting Enter. Although I still can't see the Okay and Cancel buttons. I think I'll play around a bit with my screen resolution and see if there's some other things I can do to get it to work as intended.

Thanks again.

A new version of the script has been uploaded to the website. Details in the first post, and in the official Magic Nodes website:

As usually, feedback is appreciated!

Why didn't you use the Localize-Function for the Cover Types

Code: Select all

Function FormatCoverType(CoverType)
Dim CoverTypeDict
Set CoverTypeDict = CreateObject("Scripting.Dictionary")
With CoverTypeDict
	.Add 0, SDB.Localize("Not specified")
	.Add 1, SDB.Localize("PNG file icon")
	.Add 2, SDB.Localize("File icon")
	.Add 3, SDB.Localize("Cover (front)")
	.Add 4, SDB.Localize("Cover (back)")
	.Add 5, SDB.Localize("Leaflet Page")
	.Add 6, SDB.Localize("Media Label")
	.Add 7, SDB.Localize("Lead Artist")
	.Add 8, SDB.Localize("Artist")
	.Add 9, SDB.Localize("Conductor")
	.Add 10, SDB.Localize("Band")
	.Add 11, SDB.Localize("Composer")
	.Add 12, SDB.Localize("Lyricist")
	.Add 13, SDB.Localize("Recording Location")
	.Add 14, SDB.Localize("During Recording")
	.Add 15, SDB.Localize("During Performance")
	.Add 16, SDB.Localize("Video Screen Capture")
	.Add 17, SDB.Localize("A bright coloured fish")
	.Add 18, SDB.Localize("Illustration")
	.Add 19, SDB.Localize("Band Logotype")
	.Add 20, SDB.Localize("Publisher Logotype") 
end with


FormatCoverType = CoverTypeDict.Item(Int(CoverType))

Set CoverTypeDict = Nothing
End Function

Is it possible to create a Node for the Number of Covers? Would be fine.

Nice work at all. I'll have to try the new features.

Added and file updated .

I didn't know about that issue, thanks for letting me know. Actually I have the same problem. Does the same happen with other script-created nodes? In any case, it seems more like a MM problem so I'll wait for Jiri or Rusty report to see if I'm doing something wrong.

I replaced the format function by yours in the new build (thanks! ), but I'm still seeing the cover types in English .

That doesn't seem possible in the current framework, but I'll see how it can be implemented for the next version.

Hmm, I can switch between German and English and I have always the Rigth Language in the Cover-Type-Node (except Unknown)

Does the same happen with other script-created nodes?

I tried it now. Yes. it's a Problem in every Script-Created-Node. So lean back and wait


btw Unknown could be replace by:

Code: Select all

Sub FillCustomNode(Node)
	...
   	newNode.Caption = SDB.Localize("Unknown") & " (" & Count_Unknown & ")"
   	...
End Sub

I love the Localize-Function

Me too! I was running MM in English last time, so the cover types were of course in English.

Thanks for checking... it's nothing terribly serious, but I hope they're able to fix it soon .

Sub FillCustomNode(Node)
	...
   	newNode.Caption = SDB.Localize("Unknown") & " (" & Count_Unknown & ")"
   	...
End Sub

Yes, good tip. The reason why I didn't use the localize until now is that since it can only worl for some terms, it may result confusing for a new user. But it's probably time to put all the localizable strings in the script in the same place so any interested person can translate it to his/hew own language.

I've tried to make a node for albums added to the library within the last 7 days but I can't get it to work properly.
Can someone please tell me what's wrong with this code

Code: Select all

Albums added this week|child of:location|icon:top level|SQL filter:Songs.SongPath LIKE '%Mp3 Album%'|SQL filter:DateDiff('d',Songs.Date Added,Now)<7\<date added|sort order:desc>\<album and artist>

There are two small problems:

1) Only one SQL filter: qualifier can be used. Use AND to combine multiple conditions.
2) The database field is Songs.DateAdded rather than Songs.Date Added.

So, this should work:

Code: Select all

Albums added this week|child of:location|icon:top level|SQL filter:Songs.SongPath LIKE '%Mp3 Album%' AND DateDiff('d',Songs.DateAdded,Now)<7\<date added|sort order:desc>\<album and artist>

Thanks! It works perfectly
