No, we never tried Wine but the team has already rejected this solution because it wants a native Linux software, not an emulation or a virtual machine, mainly for performances reasons.

Hey guys,
I was just wondering, given Master File Table entries on an NTFS system, how would one retrieve the directory of the file? I understand there's an Index attribute somewhere, but i'm not sure how to read the index and convert it to a path or position.
Example of a file:
- Directory path: C:\Archives\
- Filename name: 09011105010CITV.txt
- Full directory path: C:\Archives\09011105010CITV.txt
I made these two files and ran a scan on my Master File Table. Using a custom built Hex Viewer, these are the two hexadecimal outputs of the files: MFT output[^]
Those are the blocks of data in the Master File Table. Now i'm going to try and see if I can try and figure out how to link the two together, but otherwise can anyone else lend a hand? Thank you.
Much appreciated!

This is a fairly large subject; I suggest you start by researching here[^].

Well, I already have all the MFT reader running. Turns out I just need to parse the Index Root Attribute and read the indexes. Turned out to be quite simple. Thanks anyway

Hi All,
If I have 4 threads created, can I set any one thread to run for a specific amount of time. If yes , if there any APIs available for this.
|
|
|
|
|
I don't think there is any direct API way of doing what you require. I'd suggest that the thread that is to run for only a specific time, should be designed to check elapsed time in a looping fashion along with whatever else it is supposed to do. Once the elapsed time reaches the allowed time to run, it can then end.

To control the thread externally, i.e, from another thread, you can do a SuspendThread[^] on it after the specified time has elapsed.
This is not recommended in cases where the thread being suspended holds locks or synchronization objects.
In such cases you can send events to the thread to suspend itself.
But then the thread must be designed to handle such events.

One word for you; Redesign. Even if you succeed in creating that mess it would look horrible just opening 10K items in a menu, and a contextmenu at that.

Ignoring the fact if this is userfriendly or not, it shouldn't be impossible to create something like that.
With 100 hierarchy levels and 10000 items, it's not needed to have the actual 10000 items in the menu at the same time. You can add the sub items when their parent is opened, rather than adding everything at once.
e.g.
Visible menu:
File | Edit | View | History | Bookmarks | Tools | Help
That's 7 required visible items. Now when the user clicks on an item, for example Edit, you'd insert the appropriate sub items;
Undo | Redo | Cut | Copy | Paste | Delete | Select all | Find | Find again
Now you've added only 10 items, since you can ignore all the subitems under File, View, History etc.

I would suggest you have 9,990 too many. Nobody can possibly navigate that many items (nor would they want to) in a main window menu, let alone a context menu. Go back to the drawing board and re-think what you are trying to achieve.

I hope that is a typo. If not there is something horrible wrong with your design. Having 10K menu entries is simply not the way to design an application. One word comes to mind, Refactor your design.

I take it there are tons of functions being called by these menu items that are technically the same, but are just applied on different data, with different options, in different modes of operation, etc.. Provided this is true, you should seriously consider all these entries to be replaced by a call to just one dialog box that lets you select all the extra parameters you need. Do that with all menu of your current menu items and see how many individual function calls you end up with - I bet it's less than a 100. If not then this is the most weird application I've ever heard of, apart from MS Word.

Please consider usability, especially when designing UIs.
I've come to understand that UI design is very involved and it is a winning factor between competing products.
You must first think if you yourself will use such a software.
In this case think of selecting a random menu item every minute.
Run that through your mind for some time and see if you give up using it.

Think the main rule is that if the user have more than 8 menu items to choose between, then you should consider redesigning the GUI.

Hi All,
i want a library/dll through which i can convert jpeg images to mpeg4 video format and vice versa.
i googled and found FFMpeg, many sample codes use the exe and do the conversions; i donot want that way, i want any library/dll to be linked to my project and then i will be using the api(s) directly!
Can you please suggest me any open source like or easier that FFMpeg?
Note i am doing this in VC++!
