Hi Stani,

As a result I’m pleased to announce the release of Phatch which is a
powerful batch processor and renamer
This application is great!

Very easy to use, very effective, and it looks fantastic :slight_smile:

I developed the GUI in SPE with wxPython and wxGlade, of which the
source files are also included. As a wxPython developer you might be

interested in the source code of Phatch as it contains some new
controls unseen in wxPython land:

  • a list box with native coloured gradients and icon, inspired by the
    Mozilla Tools>Addons dialog box
  • a 100% native advanced tree control, which supports drag and drop &

control editing of its texts nodes (hard to describe, but you’ll get
the idea when you try it out, it is not based on CustomTreeCtrl)

  • grid control with real-time search filter and tac category selector
    I really hope these controls will be integrated into wx.lib, or at least be released under a less restrictive license like BSD or MIT. I think it can be useful for many wxPython devs.

Nice work :wink:

And one last thing, I couldn’t open the log (Tools->Show Log) because I’m on a non-english machine using windows, and all the paths in core/ct are strings and not unicode.

chaning USER_PATH solved my problem:

USER_PATH = os.path.expanduser(‘~’).decode(sys.getfilesystemencoding())

Thanks again,

Roee.
