Hi all, I know it''s deprecated, but people seem to still be using win32-changenotify, so I thought I''d see if I could make it pure Ruby. Also, I thought it would be a good opportunity to test passing a custom Win32::Event object. I''m mostly done I think, but I''m having trouble unraveling the FILE_NOTIFY_INFORMATION struct buffer. Please check out the

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?

For future reference, it looks like we should avoid DONT_RESOLVE_DLL_REFERENCES in any extensions. http://weblogs.asp.net/oldnewthing/archive/2005/02/14/372266.aspx Regards, Dan

Hi all, I decided to check the responsiveness of the pure Ruby vs C extension versions of win32-changenotify. I setup this little file generator program: a = [] 10.times{ |n| a << Thread.new{ File.open("File_#{n}", ''w''){ |fh| fh.puts "test #{n}" } } } a.each{ |t| t.join } The pure Ruby version did not do so well. In some cases it

Hi all, I''ve checked in some code to win32-changenotify. Unfortunately, it doesn''t work right. I need some help. I don''t understand what, exactly, I''m supposed to pass to ReadDirectoryChangesW() for the 2nd argument, nor how to read the data back out. There''s also a WCHAR issue that needs to be worked out with regards to the FileName

Hi, I''ve got a newbie question--sorry if this is covered elsewhere, I parsed through the archives for awhile and didn''t see it. I''d like to listen for whenever a file is renamed (e.g. foo.txt -> foo.old) and then magically change it back. This sounds odd, but I''m working with a stubborn application and this will actually make things work nice. So, if I do:

Either I''ve been up too late, or the timeout value passed to Ipc.new isn''t actually saved anywhere. Am I wrong? Anyway, I''ve added docs and a test suite for win32-ipc. Feel free to take a look and make sure there aren''t any glaring errors. Thanks. Dan PS - I''m hoping to release win32-event 0.2.0 and win32-ipc 0.1.0 this weekend unless there are

Is there anything in the utils to capture a screen ( or maybe just a window) and save to a file. I have this, but I have no idea where it came from, but it gives a corrupted image Paul # -*- ruby -*- # screen capture -- # This script runs with a Ruby/DL which is included in ruby-1.7. require ''dl/import'' module ScreenCapture extend DL::Importable dlload

Well, I''m going to release the first version of win32-taskscheduler today. For now, I''ve kept the API about the same as it originally was because I was spending way too much time futzing around and I wanted to get something out the door. For now, I''m calling this a BETA release, with the API subject to change. See the ''Future Plans'' section of

Hi all, I committed win32-driveinfo 0.1.0 to CVS.

Hi all, Well, what''s in CVS at the moment is what I''m planning on releasing tomorrow, unless anyone has any objection. Please test, check out the docs, etc. Let me know if there''s anything fatal I''m missing. Regards, Dan

Hi, I should have win32-changenotify and win32-semaphore out this weekend at some point. Then, the next version of win32-file. And after that? I don''t know. What do you think we should tackle next? What interests you? Different mutex flavors? IE controllers? Exchange interfaces? I think we should probably look a little more at what Python has going forward, too. Just a

Hi all, The topic of creating a unified API for open3 for Windows came up at RubyConf 2004 this year. Park, I was wondering if you would mind if we modified win32_popen so that the API matches the open3 library that ships with Ruby. This also means deciding whether or not to leave in the open2, open4, and posix stuff. I guess it doesn''t hurt to leave this in, although Open3.open4

Hi all, I''m trying to get new tracker items to automatically send an email to this list, so I may run a couple of tests this week. You can ignore them. Heesob, can you please take a look at Bug 1806? I''m not sure if it''s possible or not, but it seems like a reasonable idea if it is. Regards, Dan __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?

I''ve finished updating all the packages for now. All the sample scripts for all the packages have been moved to doc/examples. So, things should be stable for a while. Shanko, any chance of creating new installer based on the current releases? Dan __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
