HamMultiPlayer has many controls :

Main Interface :



Preview(s) : Where are displayed files scanned. (Left mouse click shows video in BigDisplay, Right Mouse click opens previews options).
BigDisplay : Where are displayed previews when (left) clicked.
TreeView :TreeView (where are displayed drives and directories). You have to select source(s) by clicking boxes.
ListView : Where are displayed files found after scanning (this is just a list display, not a tool like Window's Explorer). Few operations can be done using right mouse click...
HamCPU : Displays CPU activity (must be activated in preferences and can be set to Top or Bottom of screen).

...

One of the slowest thing in HamMultiPlayer is drives/directories selection before scanning. Many users told me that it was boring to always (re)select paths when starting !
Then i have decided to create a faster way for selection.

History Scans Management lets you "recall" previous scans selections.

First time you start HamMultiPlayer, "History" button is disabled (no history).
Every scan will be saved inside a file called HMP_History.ini (stored in your system inside : %temp%\HAM ). This is a new option of v0.115.
This file will keep Date, time, number of files found and directories found. It is nearly the same thing than your internet explorer history...



Select History on main interface. You should see the following window :



Date: Lines are sorted by date (newer first)
Files : Number of files found.
Paths : Number of available paths / number of scanned paths last time.

1/2 means => 1 path available over 2 found last time. Color is Orange, that means path availability is partial.
0/1 means => 0 path available over 1 found last time. Color is Red, that means path or drive has been removed.
1/1 means => all paths are available. Color is white.

Paths Names : Paths display => Path1 + Path2....

Clear List : Delete History file.
Delete Scan Item : Remove one line from history.
Load selected path : Get paths and add them to treeview.
AutoScan : Will start scanning/loading without waiting.
Cancel : Close this window.

Note :

- Duplicates are removed and only newer is kept (displayed on top of list).
- If you wish to recall an history and adding selection before scanning, uncheck AutoScan.
