Bug reports / Re: Where are the Settings kept?

« on: April 25, 2017, 06:23:41 PM »

The bold selection says (save)  to registry (current user), but  nothing is placed in the registry until you use this option. The answer from bmartino1 makes sense as to why I cannot find any of the settings until I actually save them using the save options menu.

"there is a hidden hfs ini file inside the executable along with the default template."

Edit: I see now why I was mislead about where the settings are kept. When I checked the registry all I saw was a single entry with a name of Default. What I did not realize was that the settings are written to the registry as one big single string. I went under the assumption that the individual settings would show as separate entries and thought there were no settings there

As I mentioned in my post, I know about menu -> Save options, but I don't want to save anything. I'm just curios where the settings are being kept for use  by hfs. The settings  are still present somewhere when none have been saved. Maybe rejetto can answer this.

Bug reports / Where are the Settings kept?

« on: April 24, 2017, 11:58:21 PM »

I ran the latest HFS (2.3k) on a new system and the app created context menu reg entries, but I'm curious where the other settings are being stored.  I know there's a save options menu, but I'm wondering where the current settings are being kept since changes are not lost after closing hfs. Under Debug, I can see the customized options so they must reside somewhere.

Bug reports / Re: No archive since 2.3f

The selections file is the file created by HFS. It is a tar file and I must have uploaded it as a rar. The zip file is the actual folder that I tried to archive for you to test with. I'm pretty sure all this is being caused by HFS trying to follow the link during the archive. The _OOBE.lnk points to Z:\$W8i\$_OEM$_81\_OOBE.cmd, the _DelayedShutdown.lnk points to
C:\Toolbx\MacroCreator.exe Z:\$All\$_OEM$\DelayedShutdown.pmc -s and the __W8SetScaling.lnk is pointing to
Z:\$All\$_OEM$\_W8SetScaling.cmd. If you look at the paths of each link, you will see parts of them that ended up in the tar.

I have no idea what you are trying to tell me. What do these links have to do with archiving?   
My point was that a .lnk files should get archived like any other file. Standard archivng apps have no problem with these.

i tried to reproduce the problem but to no avail.
i created a folder with name $_OEM$ and selected it for archiving: all was well.
can you send me a tar file with the problem?
anyway i tried opening the archive with both 7-zip and total commander.

Hi rejetto, I sent you a PM because the the rar is more the 500kb and I can't append here. I think the problem has to do with .lnk files. If you test with a directory including a few link files along with other files, the archive function gets confused and does strange things. the .lnk files should be treated like any other file. Normal compression programs don't have a problem with .lnk files.

Where are these templates everyone is talking about? Can someone give a step by step example how these are used?

I have no idea what template I'm on. All I see is the hfs.exe and a hfs.vfs that I created via the GUI. I've just
started using this program. I don't know how to implement different templates.

Here's another problem with Archive. I have five files listed  from which I select three. Only two end up in the archive.

Code: [Select]

DelayedShutdown.lnk                                 545  3/07/2014 19:24
DelayedShutdown.pmc                                  94  3/07/2014 19:32
_W81OOBE.lnk                                        659  2/05/2014 19:04
_W8SetScaling.cmd                                   435  9/15/2015  1:13
_W8SetScaling.lnk                                  1081  3/16/2014 15:25

When I select all three .lnk files above, _W8SetScaling.lnk does not get included in the .tar

i think it has something to do with the file name, HFS has a hard item supporting files that are outside a certain character range. I have found that if the folder name is with in "a-z" or "1-0"  (only letters and numbers!) then it should work, i believe the "$" is causing issue for it, as HFS is unable to determine the folder / file...

it also looks like your tryin to share a temp directory!

http://superuser.com/questions/64471/create-rename-a-file-folder-that-begins-with-a-dot-in-windows

I use $ and other special characters in folder names to influence the way my folders are sorted. I renamed the folders without any special chars and I still get garbage included in the archive. Whatever  method HFS uses to create the tar file, it isn't working for me with folders. If I select individual files, that seems to work without problems, but I have only done limited testing on that.

@click-click: those files/folders looks like to being generated by your operating system (Windows 8.1). What kind of folder are you sharing?...

No. All folders created on the z: drive are mine. I am sharing the whole z: drive with my other PCs. It looks like archive is broken as is. As I mentioned before, 2 of the folders shown in the archive don''t even exist  on the drive.

I have 2.3g installed, but archive seems to be broken because when I check a single folder, I get an archive with that folder + 1 extra + 2 non-existent folders . Also, not all filetypes are being saved.

Bug reports / Re: Drag and Drop and Add to HFS don't work

« on: October 25, 2015, 10:58:18 AM »

Now that's weird. After having this problem I did not try HFS anymore. If I recall correctly, I had tried HFS both as Admin and non-Admin and the results were the same. I have rebooted since having that problem and today, after reading your append, I tried HFS again and it now works if running as non-admin, but does not as Admin. This is the first time I've used an app where admin rights caused a program to malfunction. Usually it's the other way around.   

Why would different privileges be cause for drag and drop not working?

Also, HFS always shows Fully downloaded in the log even if I cancel the download. It would be good to know if a download was successfully downloaded or not. Is there any way HFS can determine if a download was cancelled or interrupted and give the appropriate msg?

Bug reports / Drag and Drop and Add to HFS don't work

« on: October 23, 2015, 11:54:51 AM »

I just downloaded HFS 2.3g to give it a try and did a simple test in easy mode on my localhost. After I start HFS, I get a virtual drive on the left hand side with nothing in it. If I try and drag files there, nothing appears. If I add to HFS via the explorer context menu, nothing appears. The only way I can add files to the virtual drive is to Add files... from the context menu for the virtual drive.  My system is Win7 32-bit.

What did I miss doing to get the other 2 options for adding files to work?

Thanks ..
