| Python's .py Windows Association | |
|---|---|
|
Date: 11/10/2012 Tags: python | Posting for future reference: Windows is not passing command line arguments to Python programs executed from the shell. This solved my problem with passing arguments to python scripts without invoking the python binary first. |

| Converting audio samples to dB and back | |
|---|---|
|
Date: 26/4/2012 Tags: audio | I've been writing a tool to normalize lots of audio files at once, as well as convert between various loss-less formats (particularly FLAC and WAV). In doing that I needed a way of converting between the raw audio sample maximum and dB. So I present to you my C functions for doing so:
double LinearToDb(int32 linear, int bitDepth)
{
uint32 MaxLinear = (1 << (bitDepth - 1)) - 1;
uint32 ab = linear >= 0 ? linear : -linear;
return log10((double)ab / MaxLinear) * 20.0;
}
int32 DbToLinear(double dB, int bitDepth)
{
uint32 MaxLinear = (1 << (bitDepth - 1)) - 1;
double d = pow(10, dB / 20);
return d * MaxLinear;
}
Another code snippit for Google to index.

| DeleteFile failure on long paths. | |
|---|---|
|
Date: 8/3/2012 Tags: win32api | Symptom: DeleteFile fails with ERROR_PATH_NOT_FOUND (3) when passed a path with a length greater than 260 characters.
This manifested for me when I copied a Windows XP home folder to a backup drive. The "Temporary Internet File" folder contains a lot of files with very long names. When you put those in a sub-folder with a long name, the total path length of those files tips over the 260 character limit. At that point Windows Explorer just fails to do anything useful on those files. In my case I just want to delete them. So I was poking around with i.File in an attempt to work out why these files can't be deleted. Turns out DeleteFile simply fails with super long paths. The way around this is to share the drive with the long paths on it. Then map a drive to a deep sub-folder to reduce the file's path length to under 260 characters. THEN delete it using traditional methods. |
