Projects

Some of the donations has been used to buy the StarBurn SDK. This version of SizeMe contain the registered version of their dll. Thank you Anton A. Kolomyeytsev and Artem A. Berman for the help!

There are also some small updates here to:

• Updated the tooltip bubble on ISO-creation list
• All paths are now shown with long filepaths

Teaser, teaser, teaser!
From the first day I start working on SizeMe I’ve got several good requests for how the application should work. One of the requests was a “musicmode” function. I liked that idea so much so such function will be available in the next version. SizeMe will then round v2.0 and it containt a cool modechanger between normalmode and musicmode. I’ve been thinking of a “backupmode” too, since many of you use SizeMe mainly for backup. But that is for the future.

To show you my progress, please check out these pictures:

(These pictures are developer pictures in progress and there is some missing features like options that are not shown here)

I have also decided to start on the Multilanguage support for SizeMe, but I haven’t found any good solution to integrate that yet.

It would be great with some feedback on this. And remember if you’re good at graphics, design, layout or anything in that direction don’t hessitate to contact me for some god’ol icon creation 🙂

SizeMe has just been updated to version 1.8.4

Key features in the update:

• ISO-file support!
• New eye-candy so it doesn’t look so ugly 🙂
• Removed the donatebutton and replaced it with a more discrete button
• Added hotkeys for quicker support

Hotkey list:

• F2 – Change label on the ISO-file
• F4 – Update new sizes
• F5 – Rescan current directory
• F6 – Comparison style: Linear -> Big
• F7 – Comparison style: Switched
• F8 – Comparsion style: Random
• F9 – Scan new directory
• F10 – Scan parent directory

There are requestes for features that are added to the list, the next annoucement of SizeMe is the brand new MUSICMODE feature for your mp3-player! The next release will containt that feature!

Please check out the Usage link and help me write documentation for this thingy. I have not much sparetime on this util and it would be best if someone else wrote the docs.

Thank you for every donations, I have not yet got my hands on the StarBurn SDK, but I’ve manipulated it a littlebit so their nagscreen only shows a moment. When the donations reaches the right amount I will buy it.

I have also played with the idea to implement the Nero SDK into SizeMe, that way you can burn the stuff with the Nero engine directly from SizeMe. Could be a pretty cool feature, please comment it 🙂

SizeMe updates are around the corner. I’m finished with the new ISO-creationmodule, and it is working good now. It will be released when the donationmoney is enough for the StarBurn SDK 🙂 I have also contacted the StarBurn developerteam to hear if I can get a freeware version of the library without the nag-screen.
