In the past BuildConfig.DEBUG wasn’t reliable (when combining Eclipse and ADT), but on Android Studio with Gradle it can be used safely and hence there’s no need to duplicate the functionality.

Fails on some files (gets stuck forever while capturing the first frame).

Happens often with Matroska. 1.0.7a introduced a workaround (-Wo) with ffmpeg’s argument order that worked with other file types.

It just makes more sense

Being based on System V, it’s quite different to most other Unix-like OSes, might be a good target for x-platform enhancements

[...]the bar icon is vanishing after a while

Originally reported by Tomasz Strózik

Example given:

$ find $DIR \(-name "*.avi" -o -name "*.wmv" -o -name "*.mpg" -o -name "*.mp4" \) -exec vcs -dt -ds -n 12 -c2 -H 200 --jpeg --quiet {} \;

Works on avi, mpg and mp4 but fails on wmv with
Failed to capture frame (at second xxx.000)

Processing the same file directly works:

$ vcs -dt -ds -n 12 -c2 -H 200 --jpeg --quiet File.wmv

Take advantage of Nougat style notifications to display more information to the user.

See https://material.io/guidelines/patterns/notifications.html

Possible design elements:

1. “App icon”: Network type? AFAICT setting it to the actual app will replace the status bar icon.
2. Header text: Provider
3. Timestamp: Time of the last update
4. Large icon: Network type, bigger?

Since the introduction of Material, icons should be white. The black icons only display as such in a subset on devices.

v2.0 will be a rewrite in Python.

Thanks Toni. I was hoping I could simply run `$ vcs-1.13.2.bash -? **/*.mp4` to create contact sheets for all videos in all subfolders, but it sounds like I’ll have to use a wrapper script. Would you consider adding this in a future release for a donation?

My reply:

I guess you’re using zsh-ish globbing there.
That’s not something I use so I didn’t even think of the case where recursing could be so simple.

It was a bit of an overlook on my part not to have the option to output to the same directory as the video, probably because recursion always required a wrapper in my head.

Accurate readings, free, ads-free what more can I ask for! Hope you don’t mind, I modified it and replaced the status bar icons :) Kindly add history of network type used like what my other apps that I am using (2g, 3g ,4g, lte network monitor by Sun Light) for me to get rid of it because of it’s unlimited ads and slow loading. Thank you very much!

Currently off Google Play due to failing to meet a deadline on policy changes.

Currently unable to re-stablish due to being away from my keys

This is a continuation of  FS#354 .

Temporarily using pre-rendered PNGs in 1.5.1, should try to re-design icons to render properly on Android 5.0 and up.

Introduce new names in 1.12 ( FS#120 )

Remove old names in 1.13 or 1.14 (this)

Reported by Terry Parrott

Reports that the app won’t auto load despite having the option enabled.

Reported on Oreo.

Presumably related to FS#370.

/dev/shm isn’t really intended as an alternate temporary location, and VCS’ temporary files can easily grow too large for it too.

As a possible alternative offer a first-run choice of temp-dir (maybe suggesting /dev/shm).

When the resulting contact sheet is too thin, the meta-information header is cramped and fields overlap.

With the new script I'm getting issues the following error:
No compatible version of getopt in path, can't continue.
Enhanced getopt (i.e. GNU getopt) is required

The homebrew's version of vcs has this at line 186:
declare GETOPT=/opt/homebrew/opt/gnu-getopt/bin/getopt
While Toni's just uses whatever is on path:
declare GETOPT=getopt
… which on macOS is non-gnu version of getopt.

The issue is on line 186. Brew version has this:
declare GETOPT=/usr/local/opt/gnu-getopt/bin/getopt
The trunk version has:
declare GETOPT=getopt
When I backport the most important change you did in the trunk version ('`fx:image.mean` > `fx:mean`') then indeed the error messages on '.mean*100' are gone.
