Slashback Software

Yes.

Text Ticker is used by many companies to distribute information to all employees. The executable and settings files can be stored on network shares or mapped drives.

Pass an .ini file as a command line parameter. Something like this:

\\path\to\txttick.exe /ini"\\path\with spaces\to\settings.ini"

The double quotes are required only if the path includes spaces.

To explain further, run Text Ticker. Use the Options screen to get everything the way you want. On the Settings tab set it to use an .ini file rather than the registry. Shut down Text Ticker. Copy the resulting .ini file wherever you want, naming it anything you want. (Literally anything; it does not need to end in .ini.) Use the syntax above in shortcuts or logon scripts.

Utilities to simplify network deployment are also available. Use the Contact form or email "TextTicker at SlashbackAssociates.com" for more information.

Text Ticker needs plain text files. It will scroll the contents of any file, but humans usually find more meaning in plain text.

Future version of Text Ticker may be a little more lenient, but it is unlikely to ever support Word or PDF files since there are too many variables involved in deciphering them.

Try changing to a different font.

If you're using Unicode or UTF8, support for these is being developed for the next version of Text Ticker. Would you care to assist with testing? If so, please use the Contact form or email "TextTicker at SlashbackAssociates.com".

Text Ticker only shows plain text. Perhaps it should have been named Plain Text Ticker.

However, support for web links (and possibly other HTML support) is actively being developed for the next version of Text Ticker. Would you care to assist with testing? If so, please use the Contact form or email "TextTicker at SlashbackAssociates.com".

Text Ticker 2.4 only supports single color backgrounds.

However, support for gradient, image, and transparent backgrounds is actively being developed for the next version of Text Ticker. Would you care to assist with testing? If so, please use the Contact form or email "TextTicker at SlashbackAssociates.com".

m3uEdit version 3 is much, much faster.

The first version of m3uEdit was written in 2000. The iPod was introduced in 2001. m3uEdit originally was intended to simply allow songs from an album to be played in the correct order.

m3uEdit version 3 is in beta testing. If you are interested in testing or offering suggestions, please use the Contact form or email "m3uEdit at SlashbackAssociates.com" for more information.

Listening to Dvořák? Try changing the font to one that supports Unicode. If Windows Explorer shows the filenames correctly, then the font it's using should work in m3uEdit. By default, XP uses Tahoma, Vista and W7 use Segoe UI.

See License.

Good question. It can be confusing depending on how a network is set up.

The intent is for each user and/or computer that might be running the program to have a license. For example, if your company has 100 employees but 50 of them use two computers at once, then you should purchase 150 licenses. If you have questions, please use the Contact form or email "Licensing at SlashbackAssociates.com".
