This shows great potential! I'll definitely be watching the development of this. A little off-topic: have you thought of adding this sort of this to WinExpose? I remember you said that development of it has been suspended but I think this would be a great addition to the traditional expose' window tiling. It'd also add something different to the concept of window switching. Also, any word on the development of Cubic Desktop? I hope that hasn't been suspended as well because it was really shaping up to be a permanent fixture on at least this desktop.

Thank you for all the hard work you put into these projects!

Thanks, matonga for the answer. I'm making my version in C# and XAML. It's much simpler to manipulate images from XAML (just few lines of code), and make the animation.

That's great, the more options users have, the better (and if they are gratis options, then better yet!).

Hope to see your version soon.

Is this yours?

Does this also display psd files?

No, it's not mine. I tried to download it, but couldn't

The author is from... Cordoba, Argentina? Hahaha! Good to know another argentinian is doing this kind of stuff!

Oh by the way, new version shows text below the preview, and has antialiasing (will be uploaded soon).

Has anyone tested it in a multimonitor setup? (say, put the window spanned through the two monitors and try see if it keeps scrolling smooth).

I've already ask you to add another popular movie files such as .mov,.flv,.m4v
How,do I edit the music player ini file,I hope you will read everyone comment/ask question,thank's,appreciated

[Sranshaft]

That really is a shame regarding Cubic Desktop. I hope one day you'll be able to get back to it as I was really looking forward to see where you took it. It was a great piece of software even for it being alpha / beta.

Good luck on this project and I wish you many successes with it!

[Björn]

Will you be able to integrate this in windows explorer or will this be impossible?

[matonga]

@Husaini HB:

Current supported video formats are the same as supported by Windows Media Player, as I'm using DirectShow. But I restricted them to .avi, .mpeg and .wmv, it should support .mov with the correct codecs but gave me a lot of headaches so it is not included.

I really want to support those formats, but it is too complicated and can't figure how to do it yet.

The only option I'm trying to figure out is somehow use VLC Lan Player to decode videos.

Edit: I forgot: to edit MusicDesktop.ini, just double-click on it. If this doesn't work, open a Notepad and drag and drop the file onto it.

@Björn:

I don't know how to integrate this into Windows Explorer

Maybe I can make a Finder clone instead? I'll need help with that as I don't own a Mac

Ok,maybe you can add another movie files,thank's

{{UPDATE}}

The new ver is more stable,but I got this warn when opened pdf file,thank's

what do you use to take your desktop screenshots?????

Here's an article discussing how to add band objects (toolbars, etc) to Explorer. It's in C#, I wasn't able to find anything in Delphi, but hopefully it might shed some light and point you in the right direction.

Extending Explorer with Band Objects using .NET and Windows Forms

Edit: Here are some more links that are in Delphi. They look like they might be a little old but they should be helpful, nonetheless.

do you have a website

[Sranshaft]

Sorry, what do you mean by 'Do you have a website'? If you're asking whether or not I have a personal website for myself and my projects, no I don't. If you're asking if there's a website for that particular article, the title of the article is the link to the website.

Wow!!! Let's see:

Extending Explorer with Band Objects using .NET and Windows Forms

100% useful. It's in C#, but it uses COM and interop, so it's kinda very useful to understand Band Objects (I didn't know they had that name).

http://www.bsalsa.co...s_band_obj.html good, but horribly implemented (IMHO). I'll try to do a better implementation of this. As Flying Cow is open source (re-read first post, edited minutes ago) it will include such thing if I can do it.

http://www.delphi300...le_2950.asp?SK= not too useful, explains how to install a band object but not how to write one.

http://www.delphifr....e.aspx?ID=21741 talks about the www.bsalsa.com example mentioned above. Edit: oh, it includes some bugfixes to the original code...

http://www.plugins-s...emos.html#iebar this link seems broken.

I must say: Sranshaft: thanks for all this information! This is really appreciated and I now have some more lots of stuff to do, such as determine how to get the currently selected file (so as to scroll to it in the Flying Cow band object).

[Sranshaft]

Anything to help mate! It's a pleasure to see such fine work, especially when it's free and open. Besides, anything to see this integrated into Explorer is well worth the effort! Now if only I knew Delphi... hehe

Sranshaft:

I found this:

Implementing a Folder View

What do you think?

If I understood this document, the user would be able to choose between Miniatures, Mosaics, Icons, List, Details (sorry if misnamed any of them, I have a spanish Windows) and now Flying Cow...

Edit: Me ignorant, hahah, I read about folder views (IShellView), it seems to have nothing to do with what I was talking about...

[Björn]

Woohoo

Maybe the FindeXer author may know lots of how to implement in explorer.

On your keyboard just press "Print Scrn SysRq" key,open Paint-->Edit-->Paste--Save as

Do these help at all?

http://www.ddj.com/s...cleID=184402922 - code is in C++ but it should show you how to format the SendMessage call.

And this is the MSDN page regarding FM_GETFILESEL - http://msdn2.microso...y/bb774185.aspx

This should do what you're looking for. It will return the currently selected items in the active file manager (Explorer) window. Using this, you should be able to manipulate however you want. I'm still looking for a way to change the selected item but I'm sure it'll be a SendMessage call.
