Note: Because some virus scanners wrongly detect this file as containing mal-ware. I no longer compile the script file, instead an un-compiled version is referenced by the GUI. All the links etc will work with this version.

 

As of 8 October 2006

Make a backup of your existing CheckToppy installation or install this one into a different location.

 

Improvements:

- Windows GUI progress dialog replacing the character based interface.

- Added Sub-totals of the directories to the report.

- Added a Total Recordings to the report.

- Temp files located in temp directory now (instead of the CheckToppy root directory)

- 5 minute timeout if the routine stops for some reason (error will still be in the report)

 

When I release it, I will also include all the improvements from 2.6 too

 

They will include:

- Unit conversion in report…finally! Choose either GB or MB.

- HD size via ‘ftpd-topfield’ for slug and ICEBOX2 users, no longer need to use SSH, Putty & Puppy

- Ftp4t set to run in sleep mode from the beginning of the script and not be stopped if ‘leave running’ enabled

- REC extensions are no longer included in the file names

- PBK time sync timer is listed as PBK Time Synchronisation in the future timers list

- Non recording timers labeled as such in the future timers list

- Source files moved to source sub-directory

 

I guess the biggest improvement is the GUI progress dialog, which looks better, thanks Dave for your help with this.

 

The future plans include creating an RSS feed file (xml) and an upload to web-site option (they are a work in progress).

 

Cheers
