Javascript function stringToDate() added #javascript #datetime

I have updated my page with Javascript functions for date calculations and added the function stringToDate() which formats a DD[-./]MM[-./]YYYY formatted date to YYYYMMDD for use in Javascript to compare with other dates, for example.

The Blogspot Stack 1.2.8 for Stacks with RapidWeaver

Version 1.2.8 of the Blogspot.stack was released on 28 Nov 2019

If you purchased this stack, you can download the latest version via your Paddle account.
If not, you can read more about it here .

Changes, additions and fixes:

• Google reduced the number of posts returned at a time to 150. Therefore some internals would jump to the wrong set of posts and so skip some posts that would then not be visible in the Archives-list.
• An error with an unused variable has been fixed.

Hardware crash VM and invalid backup #crash #hardware #raid #backup

Due to a hardware crash last night of the VM where my virtual server is, eh was, running on, and a backup that occurred to be invalid, some recent files and images are now gone forever, unless one of the two failing SSD's can be recovered tomorrow.

So if you want to download something, and the file the link is pointing to, is missing, let me know.

I am now trying to get as much as I have saved back online.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

SetEXIFData 7.8

A new version of SetEXIFData , my GUI for exiftool by Phil Harvey , is now available:

v7.8
(09 Juni 2019)

New:
- Added a '%-d', '%-s' and '%-t' as placeholders when renaming files. The '-' indicates that dates and times will be formatted with a minus-sign: YYYY-MM-DD and HH-MM[-SS].

Changes:
- The preset 'Artist' does no longer save nor read the camera-data to its presets. Use the new preset-menu on the Camera-tab for that.

Fixes:
- Fixed the usage of the placeholders while renaming files. The placehodler %s and %t sometimes read incorrect date/time data and so could have messed up your new file names.
- Fixed the usage of the checkboxes with the dates. DateTimeOriginal is not modified anymore when 'Set the EXIF Create Dates/Times...' is unchecked. When 'Set the EXIF Create Dates/Times...' is unchecked and 'Set the File Creat Date/Time...' is checked, and you specified a static interval, the interval is added to the EXIF date and then used to modify the Finder's dates.

SetEXIFData 7.7

A new version of SetEXIFData , my GUI for exiftool by Phil Harvey , is now available:

v7.7
(10 May 2019)

New:
- Added a 'Save as set...' popup menu to the 'Camera'-section to just save your camera-details.

Note : if you used the Artist-preset to also save camera-settings, you should now transfer the camera-settings to this new Camera-presets possibility. In v7.8, which will for this reason be forcibly released on May 31, the Camera-settings will be removed from the Artist-presets.

Changes:
- Changed the text 'Image(s)' in Notifications into 'File(s)', since also movies can be processed.
- Changed the text 'Drag images ...' in the main window into 'Drag images and/or movies ...'.
- 'Autofill' checkbox for 'Caption/Description' now omits the file extension from the file name.

Fix:
- Fixed the display of an ampersand (&) in set-names: a saved set with a name like 'You & me' was shown as 'You  me' in a popup-menu.

The Blogspot Stack 1.2.7 for Stacks with RapidWeaver

Version 1.2.7 of the Blogspot.stack was released on 05 April 2019

If you purchased this stack, you can download the latest version via your Paddle account.
If not, you can read more about it here .

Changes, additions and fixes:

• The use of the jump-break or 'Main page as summary' can break formatting of a post where DIV, SPAN, P and or PRE tags are used, because the closing tags would be missing. The Blogspot stack now tries calculates which closing tags are missing from DIV, SPAN, P and/or PRE tags, and adds them when needed. This ensures a correct display of your posts. But ... you should really limit the use of these tags in your posts, because even this smart solution might not work as expected.
• The 'Show comment count' now uses your Disqus shortname. In previous versions, it uses a hardcoded test-counter, so please update to this new version.
• Implemented Sparkle-updates so you can now update to new versions from within Yourhead Software’s Stacks plug-in .

SetEXIFData 7.5

A new version of SetEXIFData , my GUI for exiftool by Phil Harvey , is now available:

Version 1.2.6 of the Blogspot.stack was released on 03 April 2019

If you purchased this stack, you can download the latest version via your Paddle account.
If not, you can read more about it here .

Changes, additions and fixes:

• The 'jump-break' from Blogger is now honoured, regardless of the 'as a summary' setting. This means you can now add 'Read more...' links to single posts yourself, as you wish, without having to switch to 'Summary'-mode for all posts. A jump-break is added by entering  <!--more-->  in your text on the spot where you want the text to break. More info about the jump-break
• The 'Read more..' link is now only added when the length of the whole post is not equal to the length of the summary.
