That's right. And don't you forget it.

Nina, hold the mouse over the avatar and it will tell you what user number you are in the status bar on the bottom of your browser.

Yeah Lynne, thanks, I got it when Five told me.


You know I'm just being sarcastic, right?

And, I need to stop grabbing a bunch of threads that need answearing at the same time (in tabbed browsing) and not hitting refresh when I finally get to the post!

Some of you seem to think that the _number_ of posts is related to the character of the poster - this is a bit naive, isn't it!?

Sorry for my first dl link. I didn't know that in times of a _world wide_ web one of the leading freemailers offers filesharing links that are only valid in one country. Anyway ... here is the link to the Trader's Little Helper homepage where you can find some info and download the install prog (worldwide I hope):

PS: Probably over the next weekend the new version 0.9 will be released which can handle sector boundary errors.

Fine prog, works ok, thanks a lot!

Not really. The number of posts is related to whether anyone knows who you are or how active you are in the community. This is the internet. Don't you think it would be naive to run an executable file from an unknown person?
Would you eat food that someone you just passed on the street gave you? Take drugs from a stranger? They may be a saint or a serial killer, but you just don't know.

Anyway, now that the guinea pigs have tried it out so will I.
Thanks for sharing your work.

I've released a new version (0.9.0.47) of Trader's Little Helper. Added is the ability to fix sector boundary errors. Upcoming version 1.0 will be able to encode files.

Quite useful. Thanks a lot.

This is scary ... at last even I can get to the point where I can actually put up a post with confidence. Check and repair in a one stop shop. Little Helper is a ripper.

Wel done!

Is anyone else having problems decoding FLAC Files?

I get the error:

To Test:
flac -t [INPUTFILE[...]]
Ignore and Continue?
Yes or No?

I'd like to get this working because it looks like a great program.

[Five]

double-check it using FLAC frontend (link in my signature).

if it works with FLAC frontend, it is probably a problem with Trader's Little Helper.

if it gives the same error with FLAC frontend, the problem is with your files.

...also (of course) try decoding some different FLAC files and see if you always get that error or not.

hope this helps

[jaguaracer]

ya, I've always used FLAC frontend. I just upgraded to the latest version too thinking there was an issue there but nothing solved.
I tried decoding the same files with FLAC frontend and TLH and they work fine with FLAC frontend but not TLH.
And yes, I've tried decoding many FLAC files.

Quite perplexing, especially if others are not having this problem.
Wild guess, but I'll see if I can mess around with the FLAC decoding engine (if possible). My guess is that it is set to automatically test the files then decode, but this testing action action is not being recognized by TLH.
Thank you for your help Five. Maybe someone will chime in with the same problem (and hopefully a solution).

Never seen this before when testing/using my prog. Please tell me the following details:

1 - on which tab ('Test encoded files', 'Decode files', both?) do this occur?
2 - do this happen every time or only with some files?
2 - is the quoted code above the error message that comes up with an extra message box (the exact words, file name)?
3 - what is written in the log window after this error had shown up?
4 - Windows version?
5 - did you install some flac program after you've installed Trader's Little Helper?

1. only under decode files. testing works fine.
2. with all FLAC files. SHN decoding works fine.
2. the message I posted is a dialog box that pops up with Yes or No being buttons I can press. 'Yes' will ignore and try to decode the rest of the files (but the same error appears with all the others), 'No' just cancels the whole procedure.
3. Just says
there were errors
decoding files aborted.
4. Windows, yes
5. No. I had FLAC 1.1.1a installed and ran your program: error. Then I uninstalled both FLAC and your program. Got 1.1.2a FLAC, installed then re-installed TLH. Same error still.
