I was looking for a goal to learn me the Java language, so I decided to make a WYSIWIG dune_folder.txt editor. Here is the result:

New Version 1.5 (January 22nd 2013)
DuneEditor v1.5


Mac Version 1.5 (January 22nd 2013)
DuneEditMac v1.5

Screenshot:


It is meant to be used as a postprocessor to for example DuneExplorer (I tested my application with the dune_folder.txt generated by DuneExplorer).

Just unpack the zip file in a folder and run DuneEdit.exe (windows only). You might need to update to the latest JRE version (6, update 27).

First open the dune location with the toolbar button. After that select a directory in the tree panel and the image shows how Dune would display the screen.

The program then allows you to visually edit the dune_folder.txt settings for box location and size (by ways of a resizeble/draggable rectangle), padding, number of rows and columns and the scale factor of the icons (scale cannot be set individually, only for all of them together).

The color button will switch between black and white for the resize rectangle. Snap allows you to only step dragging and resizing in increments (visual presentation is not correct, and probably never will).

Things still to do:
• Support for Captions on/off
• Center button
• Support for default (-1) box settings
• Other good suggestions


Reason for the change: asked by pvi25 Changed version info and version date.

Would be really helpful, but I can only choose C: as a harddisk. No other disks are visible.
I'm using Win7/64

I have only dune_folder.txt file generated by myMovies and there nothing to edit, but program itself is most wanted, lot of users asked about possibility to adjust visual layout of their favorite scraper programs..

like yaDis, Zappiti.. Dune Exlorer and so on.

Can't you open other disk when you click on this toolbar icon?

yaDis is still a problem, because they put some strange non-ascii characters in the dune_folder.txt. Not very difficult to get that working.

I'm impressed, what documentation did you use? I'm trying to make something similar where the user can browse the index on his PC to remotely start playback, but there are so many parameters it's driving me nuts...

I used this document:

and a lot of trial.

Oh well, sounds like I'll just reduce myself to the basic parameters such as folder icon and background.

Are you sure you are on the latest java version (update 27)? I had the same problem when I tested it on my laptop and it was solved when I updated to the latest java version.
