Forum: MyHappyList - a simple MyList manager 303b6m
thanks for this. aom parsing takes way too long indeed.
Always good to see new software, and good to see that your link on the software page is this thread!
I just think it makes sense for an AniDB specific program to have information about it on AniDB itself. :d
Yep, agreed. Now if only some other people would do the same.
I opened the program and this error appeared.
I clicked OK, I opened it again and there was no error.

Did the program start properly after the first time? Or is nothing happening?
Version 1.1 released 2q3113
The program now makes it easy to update to newer version as they come out. There has also been several bugfixes since version 1.0.
it here: https://github.com/ReFreezed/MyHappyList/releases/latest
Note: Move the cache and local folders from the old program folder to the new one to preserve settings etc. These folders will automatically be moved to your %APPDATA% folder next time you run MyHappyList, so you only ever have to do this once.

The first time the error occurred in the image.
I clicked OK and had it open normally. There was no error.

Alright. Thanks for the report.
I went to use it again and I think I discovered something.
If I select the executable and then click the open button (highlighted in red square) the error message appears. But if I get 2 clicks on the executable, no error appears and opens normally.

Oh, that's interesting. It happens for me too. I've never pressed the Open button before, I don't think. I'll look into it.
Update: Ok, this should be fixed in version 1.1.1.
Does the delete function only serve to remove the MyHappyList file? Or does it remove the AniDB file as well?
"Remove from List" only removes the file from the local list in MyHappyList - it does not touch MyList on AniDB.
"Delete from MyList" does the opposite - it updates MyList on AniDB without removing the file from the local list.
I should probably add that no part of MyHappyList ever deletes any physical file from the computer. I think AOM has that functionality, if I correctly, which is kinda crazy. This post was edited by ReFreezed (551283) on 03.09.2018 05:56.

Drive-by comment here, (especially given that I'm not currently using the software), but if you were to delete the entry from local list and not AniDB (or vice versa), you've just created a synchronisation error?
That point aside, if it doesn't already exist, a "delete from both" button would also be a good idea. If a deletes the physical file and only deletes the item from 1 of the lists (by forgetting to delete it from both), that could cause issues upon reconciliation.

@CDB-Man
Here's the way I use the program (call it the "intended" way or whatever )...
- I add some new files.
- MyHappyList hashes the files and checks if they're in my MyList. If not, they get added automatically (if that option is enabled).
- I watch the files.
- I mark the files as watched and remove them from the local list as I go, before finally moving the physical files off my computer to some remote permanent storage.
I'm not sure why anyone would delete any file from MyList, unless them being added was a mistake in the first place which is why the "delete from MyList" function exists. If a physical file is deleted then the MyList state for that file should be manually set to "deleted", as completely deleting the file from MyList will make you lose its "watched" status and date added etc.
Also, having a lot of files in the local list would probably become messy as files aren't grouped by folder or anything (like in AOM) - it's just a long flat list. If it turns out s don't usually remove files from the local list and would like the local list to be completely synced with MyList then maybe it makes sense to have a "delete from both" button (and have more file/MyList management features in general). It's just not how I intended the program to be used. MyHappyList currently shows a list of manually added local files and their status in MyList on AniDB.

I see, so if I get this right, the local list is a list of files pending to be updated to AniDB? Like a temporary buffer?
The rest of your explanation makes sense otherwise.

It's just two separate lists: the local list (of actual physical files) and MyList, and some connections between the two. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Maybe calling MyHappyList a MyList manager is a little misleading because you're really just managing/listing local files and their respective MyList entry (if there is one).
Hmm, if the local list is non-temporal, then this part of your "flow" seems contradictory:
If it is a non-temporal list (like AOM, minus the sorting by folders, etc), then I would expect no files to be removed from the list? That files are being removed makes the local list sound temporal, but your latest reply sounds non-temporal.

I guess another way to describe how I use the program is as a playlist of files I haven't watched yet, and as I watch files I remove them from the playlist. I'm not sure what you mean by temporal or non-temporal. Do you mean temporary? If so then yes, I expect files to be listed in the program for a limited amount of time.
By the way, if a physical file is moved or deleted then MyHappyList will ask what happened to it so the list always stays current.

Features 2b3d6h
And that's about it! The limited set of features is by design. The reason I started making this program is that AOM makes me sad with how slow, memory hogging and totally overkill it is. I just wanna watch anime and mark things as watched as I go. That's all! Anyway...
