Search Reset Script

[bertkessels]

Hi,

Here's a script for resetting any searches or selections after a certain amount of time of user inactivity.

I use it to solve the problem that one guests makes a selection and the next guest is confused and cannot find her/his favourite song, not knowing that she/he is looking in the selection of the previous guest.

What the tool does is simply resetting any searches or selections after a certain amount of seconds of user inactivity (20 seconds works ok for me).

The script installs the tool. Activating the tool (via the context menu) opens a dialog in which resetting can be turned on or off (default is off) and the number of seconds of user inactivity can be set.
All input is stored in the .ini file and reloaded at start-up of Silverjuke.

Hope you find it useful too.
Please let me know your remarks or suggestions for improvements.

Cheers,
Bert

Just place the file in your Silverjuke directory and Silverjuke will load it automatically.
Press right mouse button in Silverjuke to show the context menu and select Tools. There it should show Search Reset Tool...
Good luck.

I would like to know if you would consider expanding the functionality of this script a little bit

I want a way to view what people have searched for to give me ideas for new songs I don't already have

Simple thing would be to have you append a txt file with current search info before clearing the search

ideally (if possible) only append the txt file if the search query did not result in a match (this should be optional, so you have a choice between seeing all searches or just ones that did not match)

Thanks for the script

Hi, Great Script idea - I am having difficulty with it. I have it installed and it's telling me its active - But thats as far as it goes I start a search and wait for the 10 seconds I have setup but it doesn't reset the search. Is this script compatible with older versions of Silverjuke? Many Thanks

This script works for Silverjuke version 2.52 beta15 and up (caused by the use of the function lastuserinput, which is not available in older releases).
What version are you currently using?

Been missing something like that.

Thanks for the script. :)
