      Oh right, a massive job then. Another thing will be the git repo – all the old folders will still appear in the code section – one way around it is to create a branch with the new structure and then make that master.
      Get it now, why do they all have to be prefixed esm if already in an ESM directory? As a matter of interest the mvccommon header and cpp which retrieve the game installation paths are in there as well. A practical workaround would be to assign that kind of info to a class property in a class module. VB also had .cls file extensions which helped navigation greatly. πŸ™‚

        Certainly Zork has drummed up a bit of interest – the engine update is 6 years back in the Github repo – no doubt that will change soon. πŸ™‚
        Would you believe there is a piccy of an odd sock at Wikipedia?
        Wikimedia sock
        From Good Things Guy the “Sock Loss Index” is:

        (L(p x f) + C(t x s)) – (P x A). In the formula, ‘L’ stands for ‘laundry size’ which is calculated by multiplying the number of people in the household (p) with the frequency of washes in a week (f). ‘C’ stands for the ‘washing complexity.

        There’s is surely another factor, the sub population of those who already have a collection of odd socks. Surely those folks would take extra care in order to reduce the risk of more orphaned socks? Seems to have worked over here – so far. πŸ˜›

          Good ideas, definitely in terms of a user running a portable MWEdit, if it is ever to be offered. There’s also MO2 which uses a virtual system, Wrye Bash has a fairly straight-forward looking directory structure.
          What is the purpose of the files with the esm prefix I wonder?

            Nice, esp. when there is a Spanish flea powder shaker on hand. Two dogs you know. πŸ˜›

            Concerning matters relating to the heart, Eartha Kitt advises to Speak Low:

            A little bit more upbeat with Coltrane:

            Speaking of which, always thought Coltrane’s Lazy Bird was some weird sling at Parker – but no! A cool mono version by Tyner featuring the well known “Bud Powell voicings” is on YouTube as a much later bonus addition to a much later compilation. It’s the best version out there. IMHUMOP. πŸ™‚

              Have you ever performed a facial recognition search on Google – apparently they have “results for people are limited” along with zero hits of images similar to the one you want. Weird, as there are so many other ways of doing it – Pimeyes and Yandex to mention a few – tried Bing image search, which didn’t throw up objections as much as not being all that helpful either – might be by design. πŸ˜›

                Sounds good. The compare list for the changes is really neat – tried reversing the order for newest first – it’s up to date. πŸ˜›
                Ok, asked about options – no – really helpful over there btw. πŸ™‚
                The two-dot compare is massive with overflow on display limits no doubt.

                  It’s on the B/W list, and, being a short film, on the shortlist. πŸ™‚
                  The Patient is an odd piece – especially if one expects canned laughter to follow everywhere Steve Carell goes. It has deserted him here. Cleverly scripted and filmed on a low budget, the rather depressing tale leads to a rather depressing outcome, the more so, as there are a few nudges in the later episodes hinting for the making of a sequel.
                  Have you seen Mona Lisa and the Blood Moon? Nice pace and cinematography versus dubious morality on a plodding script, the thing for me was the open-ended approach to the finish. It’s such a relief for the viewer not to be bogged down in the minutiae coming from a director’s choice of inserting ridiculous explanations for everything. πŸ˜›

                  There’s plenty of character jostling and contention in Sea Fever while the resolute Siobhan, the lead holds it altogether rather well. Not so much horror as unease with the evolving situation on the boat, and the sense of confinement from the limited possibilities of being on the wide-open sea in the clutches of said company. No hints indicating a sequel were spotted either, so fine with that. πŸ™‚

                    In most cases (for me at least) 0xc0000005 emitted by the VS debugger gives a pretty good indication of the source in the code of the invalid memory write. YMMV. πŸ™‚
                    Yeah it’s a funny one, pathing back then was limited by issues such as 8.3 filenames and the like, so I think Dave was motivated by dealing with the “root” path for Morrowind, and not worrying about anything else. Fortunately, things have moved on since then. πŸ™‚
                    Sounds an interesting range of options. πŸ™‚

                      If there’s no way you can open the file dialog in an IDE debug session, it’s a major setback. πŸ™
                      Have you made any decisions as far as the file dialog mentioned back here? The Listview is just about the most versatile thing around – any other third party variants are likely to do just about the same thing and add an extra cost in performance.

                        Confirmed – Exception code: 0xc0000005 the Wer report doesn’t show too much info though.

                            Anything turn up – Galaxy no good? Get a feed from SoundonSound which unfortunately gets mostly brushed aside due to an over-cluttered inbox, they have quite a user base though – mostly from the UK.
                            The old M522 (bought locally) has acquired the Logitech Double Click Issue. No issue with humidity as it has been so dry. A few ideas on Reddit like this from I have found a fix to the MOUSE DOUBLE CLICKING issues without disassembly:

                            Squeeze the buttons for about 10 seconds (real hard, though be careful not to break it)- Shake it- Blow the underside of the mouse- Shake it again- Squeeze it again- Shake it again

                            It helped! as did revving up the double click a notch. The mechanical/optical Lightforce switch is still playing lively! πŸ™‚

                              Purchased at ebay two sets of replacement blades here and here for two different models of Phillips shavers – different sellers – and they turn out to be exactly the same product. Gone again is that old feeling of being led down the garden path of thinking ebay sellers have intimate knowledge of their wares. πŸ˜›
                              “We’re told that four out of five dentists recommend sugarless gum” – the high figure is because of herd mentality, see here. These days you’re doing well spotting a chewing gum which isn’t sugar free on the shelves. πŸ˜›

                                Hmmm, there’s Inno Setup on that list, but not NSIS. Only VS Enterprise is listed – no Community Edition is a bit of a drawback.
                                Oh blow, AIE won’t function on WS. In that case, a distant milestone, we wish for a MSIX installation for MWEdit tobe done in a sitting, no? There is this Python MSI Creator which might run on yours – can’t see much about shortcuts though. The Wix Toolset is free, but you have to be a one-time sponsor, willing here to throw in something – $10-20 dollars – but not per month. πŸ˜› OTOH it does indeed look like a few more hoops to go through before things actually get going without VS, and the clocks are ticking.
                                TBQH the current MSI installer works well enough, if folks don’t like it, we can refer them to the above issue if need be – and they can have their own two cents worth in the comments.
                                Time to focus on MWEdit. πŸ™‚

                                  Inno and NSIS don’t generate msi packages apparently – however why not try MSIX creation in Advanced Installer Express from the MS Store? First up in the MS recommended list. Pretty sure it deals with basic things like startmenu and desktop shortcuts, and then a couple of extra goodies thrown in for good measure. Seems like they have a well-established forum for reference, too. πŸ™‚

                                    What might be the best advice is not to converse ad nauseum with barbers on the subject of hair disposal for fear of a developing Sweeney Todd episode. πŸ˜›
                                    The 10 yr. old seedless Valencia orange keeled over, not completely though as the stems are still flexible. It’s always something in the soil being the root cause of the issue, so to speak.
                                    Grabbing a sweet sarsparilla from a retailer nearby isn’t as easy as it sounds, due to seed acquisition and propagation. Many of these plants produce seeds which require the digestive systems of certain birds for germination, which may not go all that well in a partly degraded environment. Finding them in their natural habitat also comes with the caveat of getting there before the wildlife, and occasioning any fruit found on our dioecious catch.

                                      They have been doing that for years now – and yep – should have coded it in PS. It’s yet another one to learn, along with the more Pythonesque AHK v2 – plus a bazillion other things such as Pascal for XEdit scripts.
                                      Haven’t received any feedback on it via NexusMods at least – one is always wont to ride under the banner of no news is good news – even though it could turn out to be a rather bumpy journey. πŸ˜›

                                        Neither here with the standard 23″ monitors, did find that a power reset of the offending monitor in a Windows session makes it go away – at least before the next power off. More testing with Sleep required.
                                        Updated TranspTester, might be worth a look at on Windows sometime – have you considered a virtual box for an older W10 build?

                                          Dr. Sleep paid too much lip service to The Shining in attempting to regurgitate old themes and tying up loose ends. Still, B+ movie might be worth a gander for the screams and tension if nought else appeals.
                                          Still haven’t got into any new series yet – my preference – (as the box is playing up as per) so sticking to movies for now.
                                          Was absolutely sure there was a mention of the number 42 (as a reference to a number of company employees perhaps) in one of the old movies from IA … – … or somewhere else – the memory of it is gone now. Anyhow did report the one from Anatomy of a Murder – in itself a fine movie, but not free, and won’t make it to FTA any time soon either. πŸ™‚
                                          Oh, and Stay is a fabulous movie – though we had a sly sneak into the Wikipedia plot line for verification of the ending. Also checked Google for the well-known artist Tristan Reveur. πŸ˜› Not a crowd pleaser though – according to some critics.
