I have developed two PC (Windows) based helper apps. I am at the stage where I could use some help in shaking them down. They are both located at my web site www.the-gordons.net. Follow the download link on the bottom of the home page and note the userid and password instructions.
The first app "File handler", provides via a telnet IP session, a graphical interface to the HD-1000 Linux system. You can do all of the common file operations in a graphical manner. In addition you can open and edit text files with something a lot more friendly than vi. It works on all the mounted HD-1000 volumes (flash0, flash1, flash2, flash3, flash4, and smb) a rudimentary manual is provided. It is available as a Zip archive of a complete setup and install package,. Written in VB6.
The second app "Art Pack Builder", allows you on a stand alone PC, (No network required) to dynamically build an art pack through a graphical interface. It constructs the collection in a standard Roku format, allows for selection of the icon, music, and pictures; has preview windows and filmstrip like editing (rudimentary). Stores the pictures in alphabetical order after renaming them so they show in the order desired. Makes building art packs a snap. Provided in the same format as the file handler.
I will field all questions at my emnail location [email protected], and provide help. All I ask for is feedback.
