Ultimate Conversion Compressor (UCC)

Progress Update

A little update regarding the UCC Batch/VBScript Hybrid update I talked about and previewed in my last post.

So far big chunks of the UCC script have been updated to use Batch/VBScript Hybrid codes eliminating the need for console output for them and using GUI msgbox type interface or at some places dropdown selection boxes and/or text Input boxes.

Now, while it appears I don't have much more of the script to convert from pure batch to batch/vbscript hybrid, the completion of the script upgrade will still take some time as it will need to be thoroughly tested and tweaked before it is ready to be released.

When the time comes to begin the complete script testing I will attempt to recruit help, hopefully this time around there will be more people answering.

That's it, no new preview shots I'm afraid.

Have a great day

Progress Update 2

Updating/Upgrading UCC to Batch/VBScript Hybrid format is technically complete, I am about to begin the testing stages.

Below is the complete list of changes so far:

• Bug Fix: Fixed bug that prevented Records.ini for CIUv2.0.3.9 to be created when the conversion is only 1 disc
• Major Update: UCC is now a Batch/VBScript Hybrid, large parts of the scripts have benn updated to use VBScript codes through Batch commands
• New Feature: Completely NEW VBScript based User Interface, no more CMD Console Outputs
• New Feature: All previously used command line menus & prompts have been replaced with GUI alternatives using free .NET based external tools created by Rob van der Woude (http://www.robvanderwoude.com)
• New Feature: UCC Will now verify that ALL REQUIRED option in Settings.ini file are defined and if any of them isn't defined will display an error message and stop.
• New Feature: ISO Creation now have an error check at the end of the operation, if no errors occur conversion will continue and finish normaly but if an error occur an Error message will pop-up notifiying the user that ISO creation failed and they need to create ISO files manually.
• Feature Changes: ISO Creation is now completely quiet and being performed using PowerISO Command Line Tool instead of ImgBurn.
• Main Compressors Update: FreeArc, 7-Zip & WinRAR all uses their respective GUI version during compression now instead of the Command Line version

At this point I would like to extend an open invitation to anyone who is interested to join me & help test the new Batch/VBScript Hybrid version of Ultimate Conversion Compressor (UCC).

If you are interested in giving me a helping hand testing the new version and experience the new MsgBox based GUI please PM me and I'll send you the details and files.

Thanks for your help and have a great day

EDIT: Already found and fixed a few errors during my initial testing
