ThumbsPlus v10 Questions / Renaming mp4 file kills video

« on: 2018-06-05 09:06:16 »

Dear all,
I had moved from my Android phone (FairPhone2) some short videos to my pc.
At the original location (D:\somewhere) I checked and they were fine.
Copied them into the data base - still ok
Renamed them to something more useful than VID-123456789xyz.mp4
Now the poster image is gone and running them in any video display software (Windows Media player, VLC) the have just the length and some sound, but no image.
You can test with [link=http://www.daube.ch/zz_tests/Sample-FP2.mp4]this file[/link] (just rename to Sample-FP2a.mp4 when in the data base.

When renaming in the Windows explorer no such effect happens.
How can I get the video function back?

Edit:
There is a difference in lenght after the rename:
original    50'044'287
renamed     50'044'510
=> Hence it is obvious that T+ does something to the file besides the rename (which imho is in the directory and in the DB-entry and should not influence the file itself).

Other findings:
Moving the file within T+ into another folder has the same effect of destroying it.

ThumbsPlus v7-v9 Questions / DataBase error after hybernation

« on: 2015-01-23 12:19:32 »

Dear Gurus,

After wake up from hybernation (Thumbs+ open at the time of got to sleep) I always get the error:

Database Error - Invalid Database handle
The file replication service cannot stop replicting the system volume because of an internal error. The event log may have more information.
ThumbsPlus Pro Message <5015-8016>

Klicking OK just pops up the same message after a moment. I have not checked whether I can click it to an end... Need to kill T+ and start again.

Is this a known problem and will it be fixed?
My system is W7 x64 SP1, T+ is 9.1.0.3938

Only remedy is to close T+ before hybernating.

Thank You
Klaus Daube

ThumbsPlus v7-v9 Questions / Search db for pictures with specific date

« on: 2014-11-18 05:33:10 »

Dear all,

I try to find a picture in my database with this SQL statement (set up in Edit > Find > Advanced):
 tn.[file_time_iso] >= 2014-11-05

The result in Found Files is the complete database (all pictues)! Even with = rather than >= I get this whole list.
Adding a time
 tn.[file_time_iso] >= 2014-11-05 00:00:00.000
yields in a Databse error: Syntax error (missing operator) in query expression.

How must the query look like to get the pictures with the file_time_iso starting with november 5 of this year (2014-11-05) ?

ThumbsPlus v7-v9 Questions / Comments, annotations, keywords - where have they gone?

« on: 2014-10-10 14:38:48 »

I use Thumbs Plus since 1996 - hence my database has made several conversions. Now in v9 sp1 i discover the miss of all my comments/annotations and most keywords are gone.
I have looked into the db with MS Access 11 and see all my keywords, but no comments.



How to get this information back into view? Especially the comments/annotations are a great miss, because there i noted the source of images etc.
