A ’small‘ project in haxe, pt. 2: the problems

When I sent the tool to my friend to test it, I was expecting it to crash instantly. Because that always happens to my apps on his computer, no matter how much I test them before. Ok, a missing dll, not a problem at all. At least not at that time. I can be very persistent in terms of finding solutions to problems, which seem hard enough. I might have already found a temporary solution for a problem, but most of the time I don’t actually like these kind of ‘hacky’ fixes. (I know, that’s very atypical for a programmer, but having to include an additional dll file for such a simple program just doesn’t look very nice. And as always: the time spent doing that kind of research often helps me to understand the language and programming environment better.)

A ’small‘ project in haxe, pt. 1: the libraries

A friend once needed a small script to simplify the programmer’s daily life. Given an input path, a list containing file names and an output directory, it should only find all the files from the list in the input folder and copy them to the specified destination. Well, I didn’t have time back then (although I love to take a few minutes to create such small and helpful command line tools), so he assembled a quick ‘n’ dirty temporary solution in C#. More than a year later I needed a few sample files, so I sent him a list. Because we had ‘ListCompare’ to take care of it. (Fun fact: I came up with this extremely unfitting name and I have no idea why. It doesn’t compare lists, it compares a directory with a list. Very misleading title…) And as it is always the case with .NET: it just didn’t work. Finally, my chance had come to finish (…or better: start) this project. Shouldn’t take too long…

Release: [Tools] ImageMerge

Another simple tool I created a while ago is now available for download. As the name suggests ImageMerge was made to merge single layers into one image. I needed a software which can load multiple images, display any selection of them merged together and provide a real-time enabling/disabling and ordering functionality. Sure, there are dozends of great image manipulation softwares, but generally they take way to long to start (Yes, The GIMP, I’m speaking of you).
