Now again. Batch Image Resizing Software. And is based on ImageConverter made of Eric-Paul. Unlike his version, this one save your images to JPEG.

The source code, I could not manage is the following.

CheckForIllegalCrossThreadCalls = false;

I got Error message.
Since I am using “BackgroundWorker”, I hope it goes well.

Anyway, it’s very fast to scale your images.
There seems to be some mysterious features of Windows, and it’s magically save JPEG image format. It was not necessary to enter specific values for compression or anything, just the size.
Then voila. You have it.

And this part, I wanted to do something to avoid errors, because the user can delete digits.

NumberUpDown

But it was actually difficult.
Anyway, after many hours of hassle, I tried the test and see what happens. And look at that, it said nothing and worked just fine.
When I checked the saved images, the scale was changed to the default size (- 1024 pixels in this case), the value I wrote in the “numericUpDown” properties.

I wrote the code as follows:


string s = numericUpDownMaximum.Value.ToString();
if (s == "")
{
 MessageBox.Show("You must input the Max value.", "Max width is empty", MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Stop);
 return;
}
else
{
 MessageBox.Show(s, "Max width is not empty", MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Stop);
}

And ran the program. I deleted numbers, and tested. Then answered the “1024″.

Wise Microsoft again! It is without saying anything but “Handled”.

If you want, you can download it from here.

Finally!
It did not take 48 hours, but 26 hours and almost everything works fine. Now you can download my MIDI files and software, but not the MP3 yet.

The server has changed the settings and I seem unable to do anything about this problem.

Please try to download the software files from here.

If the specified link does not work, copy the entire link and paste it into your browser address bar.

I will try to update other software and MIDI files, but it takes some time.

Thank you for your patience.

Long ago, I used EditPad and I liked it.
I downloaded a new EditPad Lite now and started using it.
It is very small program and is very fast. Actually its TAB-Pages make it very convenient.

Just Great Software Author says:

EditPad Lite is a general-purpose text editor, designed to be small and compact, yet offer all the functionality you expect from a basic text editor. EditPad Lite works with Windows 98, ME, NT4, 2000, XP, Vista, and 7.
EditPad Lite is free for non-commercial use. That is, you may use EditPad Lite if you do not get paid, directly or indirectly, for the work you do with EditPad Lite. Registered charities may also use EditPad Lite. If you want more editing power or need a text editor to use at work, check out EditPad Pro.

However shortcut stuff doesn’t work on Vista x64.

As I wrote, it did not work at first.
I then changed it this and that … and now it works. I’ll explain how to do.

My system is as follows:
Vista x64
Visual Studio 2008

If you have trouble using the “IEvolution” with windows 7 x64, you should try this too.

  1. You must copy the “iecore.dll” to the Window\System
    (NOT sysWOW64, Nor System32)
  2. In Visual Studio, “Tools -> Choose Toolbox Items” and on “. NET Framework Components” tab, browse “IEvolution2.dll”.
    (You can do the same with right-click the Toolbox and select “Choose items …”)
  3. When you open the Demo Project, you must add “references” to IEvolution, and then right-click the project name and select “Properties”, then “Build” tab.
    You must change the “Platform Target – Any CPU” to “x86 “.

That’s it!

When you create your own project, you need to make it No.3.

Now everything works!

This way, you can work with the latest version of IEvolution3.12.

IEvolution is freeware and you can download it from the following URI:
HiComponents

It’s available for both Linux and Windows (NEW: 64 bit version).

I am using it!

LMMS is a free cross-platform alternative to commercial programs like FL Studio, which allow you to produce music with your computer. This includes the creation of melodies and beats, the synthesis and mixing of sounds, and arranging of samples. You can have fun with your MIDI-keyboard and much more; all in a user-friendly and modern interface.

Warning!

  • The program is installed in “Programs (x86)” folder by default although you downloaded 64bit version, and you have to change the folder when you install LMMS.
  • You cannot change the language of the interface. I want English, but it’s blend of Swedish and English.

  • AutomationEditor: thread-safe handling of AutomationPattern pointer

Read more about LMMS.

Only one thing has changed from previous version.
Now you can also use drag-and-drag technology for input file instead of opening one by one.
Skin components have also been updated and it is probably better.

GPW – Password Generator has been updated to version 1.0.6.2708.

I deleted a few letters and numbers such as:
letters “l, O, I” and numbers “1 and 0″.
Now they will not show up as your password.

I deleted them to avoid typing error.
They are similar to one another and easy to read errors and write errors unless you use “Copy and Paste”.

It took so long to upload files to the server. There are too many who use this server right now. My site has limited clients at one time that I know now – actually only 5 clients. Petty!

Current version of MidiToWav is 2.0.3.102
And Wav2X is 1.0.2.15

BASS FILE has been updated, and I update MidiToWav.
And audio components have also been updated, and I update Wav2X.

For the sake of simplicity, I have packaged them in separate files. And you can download it from here.
Note:
If you are satisfied with the previous version, you have no reason to download them.

When you want to install a antivirus program on your computer, you will be asked to uninstall your previous antivirus program you used. Setup can continue but not recommended…You do have such an experience, do you have not? The problem is that you have already uninstalled it, but the Setup program says that you still have it.

Kaspersky Lab (they made wellknown antivirus program) has a solution.
Download their software in order to delete your previous antivirus software from your computer.

I had been using McAfee Internet Security Suit and it worked fine, system started quickly and suspicious files were removed, although sometimes I did not know that it was not at all likely.
It is their technology that detects so-called “Artemis” which is not the same as the original. Perhaps cracked. Anyway, someone has changed the original file and let others download it.
McAfee treats them as Trojans, but Kaspersky doesn’t seem to be doing so. It makes me nervous.”Which one is right?”

I test “Kaspersky Pure” now.
How good it is, I do not know. It starts very slowly on my PC, it takes almost 2 minutes, McAfee took only 1 minute. And ever since I installed Kaspersky Pure, Windows Sidebar works but gadgets shows different order each time I start Windows, as if I had a virus or so. :)

I tested a compressed file which contains the setup program and DAT files, and so on.
Virusscan engine starts very quickly, but so what.
It was 100 MB file and took nearly 20 minutes to scan, and I started to get tired of waiting until it was done, and while it took so much memory so that I could not do anything else.

McAfee VirusScan is one of the few who discovered viruses in PC cleanup software I told before (Yes, it infected a programmer’s IDE), so each time you cleaned up your PC, your PC infected by virus.

To be sure, Trojan horses are not viruses. But question is which of them should I trust.
The answer is both. I do not have to be paranoia, I think.
If you do not want to receive not one suspicious file on your computer, then McAfee is choice, otherwise it does not matter, I think. If you have accidentally installed the so-called “Cracked software (Patches, Keygen, etc…)” in your computer, likely you are infected with Trojans, but McAfee virusscan will remove most of them.
There is on-demand virusscan also if you are concerned (for example by NOD32). If you are still worried, there is a webservice – VirusTotal – Free Online Virus and Malware Scan (http://www.virustotal.com/). VirusTotal is a free virus and malware online scan service. You send the suspicious file to their server and they will check it with several virusscan and you will get results soon.

However, you decide whether to keep the file or not.
