similar to: Next release of win32-dir?

Hi all, Dave Burt mentioned the possibility of adding symlinks to the Dir class. http://www.sysinternals.com/ntw2k/source/misc.shtml#junction There is also Autrijus Tang''s symlink Perl module at http://search.cpan.org/~autrijus/Win32-Symlink-0.04/ Looks easy enough, but it only seems to work for directories, not regular files. Should we add this to the Directory class, or simply

Here is some Ruby code for creating junctions on NTFS volumes. These are the main routines: Dir.junction?(dir) => true if dir is a junction Dir.reparse_target(dir) => returns the target of a junction, or dir Dir.create_junction(junctName, existingTarget) => creates a junctName junction pointing to existingTarget (also used (Dan''s?) GetLastError code and did some simple

I tried to download/compile/install win32-dir, but I couldn''t get it to go. Over a private email Daniel Berger had me... "Curious. What platform are you on exactly? Try modifying the extconf.rb file. Add ''have_library("SHFolder")'' above ''have_library("shell32")''. If that doesn''t work, try uncommenting the other

Hi, I''ve got a preliminary version of the pure Ruby version of win32-dir in CVS. However, I was hoping to work out the Unicode issue. Run this: from = "C:\\test" to = "?????" Dir.mkdir(from) unless File.exists?(from) Dir.create_junction(to, from) It works, but my explorer (and dos) window shows the name garbled. I don''t think it''s a font

Hello win32-dev team! I''m going to read and post where I can in attempt to be helpful. At the moment I am to busy to try to provide any help, but if the time becomes available I will ask and see if I can be of help. Zach

Hi all, Should we make the same change for win32-changejournal that we made for win32-changenotify (i.e yield an array of structs rather than a single struct)? Any objections?

Hi all, In lieu of Timothy''s pure Ruby junction code, and Zach''s VC++ 6 issues, I decided to just rewrite the dang thing in pure Ruby using Win32API. That will solve''s Zach''s problem and make it easier to add Timothy''s code, which I plan to add (slightly modified) to the 0.2.0 release. The code is below. One thing I have a question about is how to

Hi, Try as I might, I just cannot get Dir.create_junction to work with FFI in the ffi branch of the win32-dir project. The problem is the REPARSE_JDATA_BUFFER struct. I''m just not sure how to set those members, specifically, the PathBuffer member. The target looks good, it''s UTF-16LE encoded, but I can''t make it work, despite trying several ways of defining the struct,

I am working on and will be publicly showing ActiveRecord some love around the time of the RubyConf*MI [1] in late August. My main focus is getting AR to better handle inserts, updates and merges when working large sets of data. It can improve improve performance by 400% to 600% in preliminary benchmarks. I am coding this in a way so it can be patched to AR easily, and with that in mind

Hi Zach (or anyone with VC++ 6), I was hoping you would test a couple things for me. The first thing I would like you to try is replacing "#include <shlobj.h>" with "#include <shfolder.h>". That, or try including both. If that doesn''t do the trick, the next thing I''d like to try is commenting out all the rb_define_const lines that were

Another nicety may be handling network drives. I''ve been using a ruby script which manipulate using the "net use" command to map network drives, disconnect network drives, query to see what drives are connected, etc..., but it''d be sweet if this type of functionality was included in win32 package. Maybe usage like: nd = Win32::NetworkDrive.new(

Is there (if not, can we get) the functionality to query for workstations in the local workgroup or domain? Zach

The thread starting with this message: https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-package-devel/2019q4/004745.html described problems Rich Heiberger was having with package checking on Windows. It appeared that during the tests of examples, an old version of the package was loaded but the new tests were being run, causing lots of confusion and trouble. I reproduced the error, and I think I've
