Attribute Changer Beta 3

New update, I mostly changed the Gui, changed button positions, changed font size, read above for the other changes. I will try and add the ability to change time for files, so Ill be experimenting with this for a while, ill try to get a new update later today or tomorrow. Oh yeah I applied zach's icon for the program.

New update, this update adds a lot more features, please read above to see. There might be something I forgot to add that I changed, but Im sure you'll notice when you use the program. Also if you are having problems with things not working please read the "Instructions.txt" file first to see if your problem is answered there. If it is not then post a comment here and Ill try to help you solve your problem. Also if you notice any bugs or anything please report them here.

Enjoy

Here is something that isnt a bug but someone will probably come here and say it is. If you want to edit the date for a file, make sure that readonly is not checked, if it is then the date will remain the same. So make sure you uncheck that attribute before you change any of the dates. To make things easier in the future, ill add back buttons so you can go to the previous window. Hope this will prevent any problems in the future.

An idea....Alright how about I include some of the text of the first window, but on the first window there is a box that can be user edited(type in) where on the right side there is a box that has "..." as the button text, then when you click it it will bring the file select window. Ill probably change the start button to next.

Not sure if im gonna be able to add the drag and drop feature yet, im having some problems with acquiring variables and such, so its on hold till I find another solution. Ill probably release the next test which will make it easier to choose another app, I added a restart button and a back button. So are there any other suggestions and or bugs that I should know about before I get ready to release the next alpha?

New update, now it should be easier to do multiple files, read above for changes. What I plan for the next release is support to apply attributes to a folder, but I wanted to know what would be best, applying attributes to folder and all the files in it, or just the folder?

New update, read above for details, hope this update makes changing file attributes a bit easier.

What do you guys think would be useful features to add in the future?

• Encryption for file or folder only if hidden attribute checked
• Option to move edited folder or file to user choice location
• Ability to backup file or folder before adding encryption(if encryption is added)

Currently I'm just adding the finishing touches on the Folder Select ability, and then after a few testing, then we can finally go to beta testing. But I think it would be best if we used external scripts for some of the above features that could be added. Tell me what you think about some of the above, and maybe something else that would be useful instead.

I dont think it needs to comply with it, unless I plan on making it official and if I use the PA installer. Not sure if I need to, since this is entirely created by me, and most of the info and since we are in alpha testing, it would be just more work to do every time I wanted to release a new version, maybe once we are out of alpha I'll look into it.

Since I have been busy adding more features to the program. I was wondering if someone could look at the following Gui I have created and tell me what they think. I havent added any functions to any of the buttons so, if u wish to for me then feel free to do so.

Gui, Add, MonthCal, x6 y10 w180 h160 vDate, 
Gui, Add, Edit, x6 y200 w180 h70 vMyEdit, 
Gui, Add, Button, x16 y290 w80 h20 , Set Date For
Gui, Add, Button, x116 y290 w50 h20 , Cancel
Gui, Add, Text, x26 y180 w120 h20 , Type in date(or choose it)
Gui, Add, Radio, x6 y270 w60 h20 , C
Gui, Add, Radio, x66 y270 w60 h20 , M
Gui, Add, Radio, x126 y270 w60 h20 , A
Gui, Show, x131 y91 h325 w204, Choose Date
Return

GuiClose:
ExitApp

Im also planning on changing the Gui for the attribute checking window, make it look a little bit better.

K, well now that I have the folder select working, Im gonna do multiple files select, but Im not sure how to do it. Here is what I have so far, but I might have to write another script for multiple files, where it just shows the file name, not the file name+directory. Cause then things would get confusing. So can someone check my script so far and tell me if it is good. Thanks in advance

;Application Name: Ac(AttributeChanger)
;What it does: Allows you to change the attributes of a file, such as make it readonly, an archive, system, and hidden. Soon I will add support to change File Dates.

Well that is all of it for now, Im still improving it a lot, so expect an update to be out real soon.

New update, see above for changes, also I cant figure out y two of the features is being highlighted like its a link. So hope you enjoy this new update, and I plan on seeing your feedback to improve this program more.

Yup, a transparent icon would be cool, Ill look into that, maybe just remove all the extra white, now im looking into file encryption for files that only have the hidden attribute. Im looking into ccrytp, but im not sure what to do yet, how would you pass command line parameters to something like ccrypt? Ill keep looking into this, cause I want to make an update with this before school starts.

Alright, since the AC icon isnt finished I decided to make my own, and here is what I made, so tell me what you think.

Edit: Man this thing looks awesome as an icon, It has a transparent background, I have to say Im impressed with myself as I have never made something like this in photoshop.

New update, please read above for changes, also please tell me what you think of the new features and the new icon. Im still working hard to implement some encryption, but if you know a way that would be easy and bug free, then comment here, as I would appreciate any help with this program.

New update, read above for new features. Please test and tell me feedback on the new features. If you find anything acting funny post here, and I will try to figure it out.

Do you think that adding 7z support in my program would be useful? If so then Ill start to look into using the 7z command prompt version. So you can pack your directories and compress them, and you will have the ability to choose compression, like store, normal, etc. So please write here and tell me if this would be useful for Folders, and maybe I can try to find a way to do it for files, like putting the file in a folder that is named the same as file and pack that.

alright, I'll look into that, and I think I might be making an update real soon, but I havent been able to get 7z to work properly, cause Im having trouble with the syntax of the command version, so I will test my app out a lot and see if I can fix any little bugs.
