Yeah, I just copied over my old folder. I just did it again and still shows .5.2.

I then created a new folder name and it shows .5.3 now. ;)

any chance we can get the fix sbe to process just one file, or to at least fix the last file in the set..?

now i just get the "need two or more files to process" which means i have to leave that last sbe in there. the command line will fix this last guy...

+t

i swear i am not bitching - i figured you wanted a bit of feedback...and thanks for stripping the "wav" outta the filename when encoding...

"fixing" takes samples from the previous or next track.  you can't just "fix" 1 file.  you can pad it with zeros, though. 

i can add the pad funtion when i get back to finishing it...

In the meantime, couldn't one simply add a dummy last track that is nothing but silence?

I've run into a possible issue with xACT -- I have a 300gig drive full of flacs and wanted to test all of the flacs before backing up the drive by overwriting a prior archive on another drive. 

I searched the drive for *.flac (finding around 9,000 flac files), selected all 9,000 files, dragged 'em into xACT and selected the test option from within xACT
Around 30 hours later, xACT completed its testing and I copied its test log into a word document (200 pages long).

Reviewing the log, I was shocked to find a significant number of failed tracks (probably 1 out of 50-60 tracks failed). 

To play it safe, I fired up the windows flac frontend and started individually testing each failed track from within the flac frontend.  Almost all of the trackes that failed in xACT passed without problem when tested in flac frontend.

So, I'm trying to determine whether this is an xACT issue . . . .

i've been extremely busy at work lately, so the last thing i've wanted to do in spare time is more coding.  when things settle down a bit, i'll finish it up and redo the interface a bit...

what happens when you try those same failed flacs in xACT a second time?  that could show if it's an xACT thing

they pass...

this has happened to me on an apple (osx) testing with ffp and md5, too...

but they always pass, either on a subsequent try or with another program doing the verifying...

Scott -- no worries, just thought I'd provide some feedback.

Macdaddy -- glad to hear I'm not alone

Great program for "normal" uses for sure.  I'm planning on creating md5 checksums of all of my flacs once I've confirmed verification to simplify the archive confirmation process . . .

Thanks

I like the new interface, but it doesn't seem to be working.
I pretty much only use this program for shntool, and so far, the only part that I've tested is the shntool "len" function

I can drag the files (they're 16/44.1 FLAC files) into the little window, but when I press the "get len" button, nothing happens.
also, when I click on the "clear files" button, again, nothing happens.  and when I click on the "add files" button, nothing happens.

as always, thanks for all the effort into this project
