SmutDetect - Feedback Wanted

Jamie, give yourself a pat on the back from me 😉

If your time allows it I would prefer a discussion/feedback about the application itself rather than its name. ) Thanks

Aw, c'mon, this is my best joke in years - surely I deserve a bit of credit (all it needs is a logo with a magnifying glass and even Jonathan would be happy!) I'm particularly proud of the "4" which I know all you 4ensicators love -)

The 4skins is a good one, I have to admit. D

What about "rosy", it can be used properly

as Urban dictionary definition wink

and acronym
rigorous
omnipercipient

Sorry for the name OT, I just tested the app and it seems like allright.
If I may, you have a typo

Aquirred List of Files/Images from

I presume it should be "acquired"
The -expConfig option is CaSe SeNsItIvE, not a problem, but you know…
Maybe having also the "Full name" and "initials" in the .config file would save some unneeded typing? ?
A "side app" to configure the .config fille would be a plus.
The link to images is not working for me, example

c%5CDownloaded%5Cskin%5Cchances.jpg

A very good start, as I see it. )

Fair comment (apologies for the diversion!)

Back to business…

Thanks for the testing - this is all stuff I kinda miss in the everyday coding. The spelling error is spotted well - need to change that.

Your comments about the CLI parameters are very valid and I plan on updating them. CaseSensitive Parameters are propably not well ) so I will think about an alternative.

The name in the config file is a nice idea as they will propably not easily interchanged by the investigators.

That the path for the linking is not working is not nice and I will try to investigate this as soon as I can get access to a windows test environment. (As I code under Linux)
Did you check the thumbnails there aswell? Are they displayed properly?

Thanks again for testing!!!

@jaclaz
I tested the latest version on Windows XP and indexed about 6 images for now. This was done using the latest JRE from Oracle.

I could reproduce your error of linking in Opera 10.6 and Firefox 3.6.8. However it worked in IE 8.0.6001 and successfully linked to the Images. This of course can not be a requirement for Windows users. At the moment I have no idea why the path resolution does not work for Firefox and Opera. The relative versions (thumbnails) work, just not the absolute ones. The tool resolves the paths to the images using the canonical method to find the true location. Somehow Firefox and Opera do not understand C/ something.

Opera formats the links like you posted (hence I guess thats what you used) changing the backslash to %5C which opera does not get, while if you copy the path into the address bar it finds it… using file//localhost/...
Firefox on the other hand does not understand how to handle c\ protocol (which is none) but understands the path in the address bar. Firefox however changes it to file///C/...
Firefox adds the root slash of a linux platform to indicate the relative position while opera adds localhost…
Removing the unique parts (ending with file//C/) it worked in opera and firefox but not IE.

The localhost or root slash version however worked in all - Quickly tested it (root slash version) in Linux with Konqueror, Firefox and Opera (all worked) D ) (Mac should handle this aswell as it is Unix based)

Maybe you have a better solution for me - I would be very pleased if you share any experience!!
Especially MAC experience (also about the above) would be very useful as I do not own one and getting access to one is very tedious. Thanks

A path that goes in a "href" needs normally to have forward slashes and not backslashes (but most browsers will understand backslashes allright).
The problem is that links are usually relative, if you need to use an absolute path, you need "file//localhost/" before
i.e. this
<fieldset><legend> 0% </legend>
<a href="C\Downloaded\skin\chances.jpg" titel="Link to the Image">Link to the Image</a>
<p class="item">C\Downloaded\skin\chances.jpg<br>0% 590x432 = 254880px RGB DetectorValue 0.0 YCbCr DetectorValue 0.0<br>Last Modified 2009-01-29|162504|+0100 Processed correctly true<br><br></p>
</fieldset>
should be
<fieldset><legend> 0% </legend>
<a href="file//localhost/C/Downloaded/skin/chances.jpg" titel="Link to the Image">Link to the Image</a>
<p class="item">C\Downloaded\skin\chances.jpg<br>0% 590x432 = 254880px RGB DetectorValue 0.0 YCbCr DetectorValue 0.0<br>Last Modified 2009-01-29|162504|+0100 Processed correctly true<br><br></p>
</fieldset>
But as said
<a href="file//localhost/C\Downloaded\skin\chances.jpg" titel="Link to the Image">Link to the Image</a>
will work allright on most browsers, though, for example in Opera the \ will be automagically translated to %5C in the address bar)

also, "titel" should be "title" ? .

The thumbnails do work (they use a relative path wink )

Sorry cross-posting. oops

IE 5 and 6 and Opera work with "file//localhost/" are you tellimg me that Firefox doesn't? ?

jaclaz

Thanks! - lol we posted both at the same time D hehe

is the localhost version better than the rootslash version? (will test the localhost thing in Linux in a bit)

You are finding so many typos lol - was propably automatic as it is "titel" in german. - Will put it on the TODO list - Thanks!!!

Just to confirm that both
file///C/Downloaded/skin/SmutDetect_Reports/…
(three slashes) and
file//C/Downloaded/skin/SmutDetect_Reports/…
(two slashes)
work on both Opera and IE 5 and 6

jaclaz

The localhost or root slash version however worked in all - Quickly tested it (root slash version) in Linux with Konqueror, Firefox and Opera (all worked) D ) (Mac should handle this aswell as it is Unix based)

- worked in IE 8 - but as posted above the 2 slash version does not work in IE8

IE 5 and 6 and Opera work with "file//localhost/" are you tellimg me that Firefox doesn't? ?

jaclaz

No just that I did not test that version yet 😉 - did now and it works in all browsers so far will use this version!

Thanks for your extensive support in this! I will try if the backslash to slash conversion will work in IE later as the html doc created in windows doesn't show the thumbnails in linux correctly. Might try this tonight / asap.

Thanks!
