Message Details
This discussion has caused me to review the HTTPJolie command "refresh".

Today it does this:
                                                                                 
    PerformPendingDownloads();

I plan to change it to:

    TriggerMenuItem(PluginConstants.FORMID_Main, PluginConstants.MENUID_Form, "Online", "Refresh Online Profile List...");
    PerformPendingDownloads();
    TriggerMenuItem(PluginConstants.FORMID_Main, PluginConstants.MENUID_Form, "View", "Refresh Collection List");


And I will add an option equivalent holding down the Ctrl key for the first item.

Any comments?

I'm not finding information on holding down the Ctrl key. Can someone jog my memory on how that changes things?

Oh I see now, and I guess it was never officially documented.

Yeah, but you need to combine the command with Ctrl-down, and I don't see how you can do that through HTTPJolie. But maybe I'm missing something?

Maybe not missing, perhaps overlooking the fact that HTTPJolie is hosted by DVD Profiler internally. There is nothing an external program can do, that HTTPJolie cannot.

I was thinking HTTPJolie, not AutoItX. You can send commands over TCPIP using the TCPSend utility that ships with it. TCPSend could be launched with the scheduler.

Or you could schedule the launch of DVD Profiler itself, with the command file option, which would include the menu command for refreshing profiles.

And then there is DVDPFauxAPI and the CommndOnEventGUI which could probably do the same thing based on a database event, such as opening the database.

Lot of toys in the sandbox.

Yes, but that was five months ago. Surely something as basic as being able to get profile updates without having to refresh the entire online profile list every time could've been fixed by now. The repeated downloading of that largely-the-same block of data using the CTRL trick actually creates unnecessary traffic for the server.

Well I respect and benefit from your efforts as a major contributor to the database. So if there is anything you think a plugin or tool could do to make things easier for you to do that work, please make the request or suggestion and I promise to do my best as a "tools" guy to do my pert.

There are already tools by GSyren that might be able to help. For example, with his tools, you could schedule the refresh overnight or on whatever schedule you choose. Then you would not have to wait when you are ready to work.

I am curious as an experiment. Could you provide the Profile ID(UPC.Locality). We  have tools that access the online database internally. It would be interesting if those tools can see pending profiles.

Gunnar if you want to experiment, I think there are a couple of internal commands that I could add to HTTPJolie if the existing ones don't do it.

Well, you got it done, that's what matters.
