This a program for analysing the .met files that eMule creates. Good for nosy
people. It will process the known.met file and show you all the information on
your shared files, current and past. From this you can export lists of ed2k
links, generate checksums for your files, export all the information in
spreadsheet format. As well as, of course, plaintext link lists.
In the clients.met you can see all of the users and their transfered amounts,
and associated credits. This is an approximate figure, and is a basis for how
fast people negotiate your upload queue.
In the downloads section you can view your currently queued downloads. With a
whopping big progress bar at the bottom, showing part boundries.
Lately it has added support to recreate .part.met files that get corrupted by
freak accidents or monster invasions. This is tricky but possible. More support
for this will be built into later versions of eMule with any luck.
Instructions are provided step by step in the program.
Note: This is a work in progress. That means im probably constantly working on
it, not neccesarily exclusively. So if somethings broken, it can be fixed.

/* Most of this stuff is obsolete.. A combined reverse score is no longer made.
#############################
# Reverse Score Explanation #
#############################
Since there was no real way set out to interprit your score, in a good way i
had to nut one out. With a few helpful suggestions along the way.
The score formula is worked on a clients uploaded and downloaded amounts to get
a modifier value used when calculating the score.. This is where the credit
takes effect. Now since every client you upload and download from stores this
information in their client.met file, you also store it in yours, in reverse.
Say client A downloads 5 megs from you, and upload 10 to you, thats stored in
both your clients.met files. From this, i can work quite a good estimate of
your credit. Of course, it cant be changed or hacked though.
The reverse score just swaps the inputs on the above formula, giving the score
as seen from a client say. So in calculating the credit, i average all of the
reverse scores, and multiple by the log(total uploaded + total downloaded). The
log.. bit is needed to differentiate from people whove been using emule for 5
mins to those who have been using for 5 months.

# Version History #
###################
v3.4.1547.41324
===============
Packaged up for new public release. Still test material, but its been a while.
v3.4.1544.38512
===============
Updated the dialogs for importing p2p ip lists to accept .txt files as well.
(antip2p.txt)
v3.4.1541.20537
===============
Added a download merge, alpha stage atm. Allows you to copy all applicable data
from one download to another, assuming they are both the same size.
This might be usefull if you download the same file in 2 different locations,
and want to combine both downloads into 1. It should work roughly ok.
Its available in the download tools.
Reordered the tabs in the download tools window, deactivated the part copier
and the other silly thing that was out of date, and mvoed their tabs to the
right.
The stuff in the repair window, and the colour key in the bottom of the
known.met slowly shrunk in size, everytime i compiled the app. Bit of a funny
bug to do with something. Done a dirty patch to resize them when the app
loads.
Started working on a help file, now i figured out how to make compiled html
help files.
v3.4.1534.33811
===============
Finally figured out how to use splitter bars right. See how crap a programmer i
am?
Fixed a couple of bugs, one to do with the initalisation of the browse button
when friends window is selected. (not initted / last initted state).
Fixed: Irc link in the about box. Also the bug has a 20% chance of appearing
now.
New release page under development. Now an option in the main toolbar.
Will download and parse .rdf/.rss xml news styles. It doesnt process all the
info, just gets what it needs.
It will write the files to the metmedic folder, and only redownload if theyre
over 2 hours old. Save hammering the news sites.
Release page redone with basic thread support. Save halting the whole app while
reading news.
v3.4.1529.36965
===============
Added the ability to change the colours of the progress bar.. (start, end).
v3.4.1528.22810
===============
Still trying to fix problems where 'send items to mule' and 'export part.met
crap' didnt work.. Should be fine now.
Added donkey noises..
Added a bug in about box.. Kinda broken for now, as it has a non transparent
border. 1% chance of showing.
Fixed bugs: Several options in the known.met context menu didnt work, if
missing files were not shown. Fixed all these, well hopefully all of them.
Good spotting omicron1.
Toying with new icons.
v3.4.1527.30898
===============
Format time mode was not filled in correctly when options dialog opened..
Now the correct option is filled in. (default, custom)
Version checking thread was murdered if it didnt finish in 1 second.. fixed
now.
v3.4.1527.24591
===============
Made a basic installer using Nullsoft's NSIS v2. Allows me more control, and
the ability to detect the .net framework etc. Now, if no .net is installed,
a warning is shown and the option to goto my download page is given.
Updated program with my new page url.
Added registry check for videolan in the previewer add form. If you use the
installer, it adds installpath and version into preferences. Failing this
it will search default program locations.
Added a version check button on the about box. It will give the option to goto
the download page if a new version exists. Rough for now. (halts app for 30s)
Fixed the 'auto locating of .met paths', so save you needlessly editing the ini
file, not that you have to anyway.
v3.4.1520.35696.RC2
===================
Checksum window rewritten to provide an automatic mode, and options to checksum
selected entries only. So now it can be called automatically when exporting
.sfv files. All options selectable in the context menu.
Also bugs fixed with the thread. Its terminated properly when the window is
closed, and the flags reset. So when opening the window again, it will work
right.
Bit of a serious bug fixed, crash when no ini file is present, a bug introduced
earlier, with the ini and preferences classes.
v3.4.1520.33334.RC1
===================
Finished merging options to the new options dialog.
Known.met Autosplit crash/problem fixed.
.SFV output redone, now outputs 3 styles.
old: 8.3 filenames, no paths. the short filenames are not guranteed to be 100%
new: long filenames, QuickSFV likes these.
best: paths + long filenames. QuickSFV handles these very well.
Fixed the case of no over-write warnings in the ouput module, and the case of a
double warning for clients.met csv output.
v3.4.1520.17725
===============
Fixed int16 port issues in the server window.. some ports were showing as
negative numbers, and the copy link thing didnt work.
Eyecandy.. The mule in the splashscreen now has weapons.. picked at random.
 This pic is plonked in the aboutbox, fullsize for now.. this might change if i
can cleanly resize it.
Fixed some bugs: All output stuff now shows a replace dialog, and wont save if
you cancel the dialog.
Known.met processing crash.. Except a few more of these sorts of crashes.
Its due to the new database format.
And went over the checksum form thingie, still seems to be working.
Log text box and progress bar going again.

3.4.1518.19984
==============
New options dialog. All preferences consolodated into a class now.
New .sfv output option, for known.met list. Uses current crc32 checksums
generated.
3.4.1515.442
============
Started adjusting the part.met database to use internal taglists. seems to be
paying dividends so far. Going over part.met related functions and making sure
they go, as i should.
Improved: Locating entries by ip in the ipfilter list, MM now locates the first
entry automatically. Should be a bit quicke now, and progressbar is enabled,
since people have lists with 13,000 entries in them.
Added basic error handling for the clients.met load function. Didnt have any.
Added date+time custom formatting, for those who dont like the odd default
style of time_t. no 12hr am/pm support as of yet.
v3.4.1512.42739
===============
Added a splash screen. Is shown before the mainform inits and creates its
components, and is closed 1s after this has finished.
Changed the colours in the part history bar to more reflect that of the mod i
been using.
Fixed: Last seen/Chatted times in friends window formatted properly now.
Log Window:
Added context menu with 3 options.
Select All : Selects all lines. ctrl A
Copy Line(s): Copies selected lines to the clipboard.
--
Clear : Clear the log.
v3.4.1510.30514
===============
Fixed the Gpl.txt link in the about box. File couldnt be found, ever it seems.
The url's shouldnt cause exceptions when they cant be found either.
Redone: deleting part & part.met function.. If it was broke before, its less
broke now.
Reworked (again): Internal storage for known.met stuff.. Just experimenting.
Now stores and reads/writes tags directly to a tag list. This means tag count
/order/availability is preserved through processing alot better.
Now, its irrelivant of whether is a tag is known or not.
The known.met editor (crude) will show the lists of tags for each entry, if
youre curious.
Gaps have their own class now, with one for a gap list. Probably gonna be
met specific, we'll see.
Added support for mods who like to keep active downloads in the known.met file.
These entries are highlighted, and their .part is put into the path bit.
(mind you its only matched by filesize/name).
So ideally, if you lose this download, right click this entry, select
"export / recover part.met file", youll be taken to the recover screen, and
press da button.
Should work roughly ok for now.

v3.4.1507.15983
===============
Added default path & registry investigation for the presets in the previewer
add window. Will attemp to locate isobuster and winamp via the registry, and
VideoLan Client & WinIso via default install paths. IF successful, these paths
are entered automatically. Also updated the supported extentions for these
files.
Fixed the 'Send to eMule' context menu from the known.met window.. This shell-
executes ed2k links for the selected entries, so if eMule is associated with
ed2k links, theyll be added.
Just a way to redownload old files you have had before, without having to hunt
down links and stuff.

v3.4.1506.26843
===============
Fixed a bug where the paths would not save if the main path combo box didnt
lose focus before the program ended.. Ie if you just browsed to a path and
closed MetMedic.. Funny one.
Added 2 menu items to the ipfilter context menu. 1 to copy the first ip of
the selected item, and another to copy the whole line to clipboard.
Added a new feature to the right click known.met menu. You can export entries
to part.met files. Might be handy for reviving old downloads or some crap.
Removed the nag when you try to repair a file part or smaller.. (<= 9,500kB)
It now hows for files <= 1kB.. and insults you for trying.
(On a side note, it would have shown for files over 2 gigs too, not so now.)
The checkbox that tells MetMedic to automatically locate default met files from
the emule path was off by default.. Is now on by default. Meaning once you set
the path, all the met files are found automatically
Added a bunch of presets for the download previewer add window.. Should make it
easier to use and figure out how to use.
v3.4.1506.22277
===============
Fixed another bug in the repair process, where it wasnt recording the last gap
if it ran to the end of the file. Should be good now. And i fixed that
exception (read beyond end of file stream).
v3.4.1506.1804
==============
Fixed a bunch of problems with the repair thing. should work again. Yeah call
me stupid for putting so many bugs in it. So sue me bitches.
v3.4.1504.31727
===============
Finished the gap editor, seems to be working ok now. Ready for some testing
anyways. The save buttons only saves the current part.met (for which the gaps
are displayed).
You can add gaps by part, or by entering the numbers direct.
Also edit and remove gaps.
Be carefull, this is not 100% idiot proof, and nor should it be. So keep your
wits about you.
v3.4.1495.35335
===============
Fixed bug with tags being dropped in known.met and part.met files.
v3.4.1495.14900
===============
Alot more class construction, consolodation and general mucking around.
New class files for known.met entries and part.met entries, giving them the
ability to load and save themselves, as well as work out their own stats
and return listview items based on themselves etc etc.
New class file handling the ini file. There will be a few redundant entries in
there now, so if youre anal about keeping things tidy delete it and let MM
recreate it. Not that those entries will do any harm. Saves window positions
of some of the sub windows now too.
Verbose Output is not an option, not a compile time option. Set it in misc
options.
Working on a generic download preview thing too. Allows you to add previewing
programs and assign them to certain file types. So you could assign WinIso to
all cd images, Winamp to mp3s, Video Lan and aviPreview to all video files etc
Seems to work pretty well at present. The AviPreviewC frontend is still there,
and is enabled if the path is set in the ini file. Cant be set from options
anymore. I use it, buggered if i know if anyone else does. Hell, i bet no one
reads this file even.
Most changes are structural and arent readily visible, except for
functionality and speed changes. (improvements, disimprovements etc)
But they require reworking off all related code areas, so take some time.
Bloody boring too i might add.

v3.3.1478.34837
===============
Whoops, the ipfilter.dat system was pretty damn slow. lots faster now.
This is a bit of a hotfix.
v3.3.1477.35431
===============
Added: Two pane known.met merging/swapper/differencer.
It allows you to compare two known.met files, and move (with merge) entries
between them. Handy for releasers who like multiple emules, and known.met sets.
Still in beta. A bit rough around the edges, but i think its functionally ok.

v3.3.1472.28225
===============
Fixed: Colour key, now jumps up when you hover the mouse over it. Move the
mouse to the listview, or left to the panel housing the checkboxes to hide it
again. Good fun. Now the colour key gets mashed when you size the window
small.
v3.3.1472.17847
===============
Added: Support for peerguardian p2p files. Theyre similar in format to
ipfilter.dat files, except they dont store block value. So ive made the
assumption that its 0.
When exporting these files, only the entries in red, or with a block value of
less then 127 are exported.
Ill add support so that you can change this value at some stage.
(make it more or less secure, in a sense).
v3.3.1471.19167
===============
Fixed: Ipfilter merging had a couple of holes in it. Some ipfilter.dat files,
the lines start with #? which caused MM to reset the first ip for that entry
to 0.0.0.0, which led to large ranges, and demolition of the file.
Also some special cases, large ranges were created, also demoloshing the file.
Now, if theres an error converting any ip or the block range, the line is
chucked.
Added: Clear List items to each listview context menu. VB.Net garbage
collection isnt immediate, but it might help keep down the memory profile when
working with large files.
Fixed: Known.met dupe handling has had a workover and a few bugs fixed.
You may notice green lines there now.
Files, that exist, and that dupes of other files that exist, are marked in
green now. These are strictly not dupes though, because if you removed them
from known.met, emule would just see them and rehash them.
Files, that exist, and have duplicates that exist, and marked dark blue now
because of this. A 'for your information' thing.
Similarly, files that dont exist, and are dupes of files that do, are marked
blue.
Files that dont exist, and are dupes of other files that dont exist are all
marked red.
When the stats merge box is checked, funny things happen.
The first existing file, that has duplicates that exist, will aqcuire their
 timestamps.
If, say, a missing file, that has existing duplicates is found, (it happens),
then this file becomes the master of this group. It acquires their path and
timestamp information.
This is to prevent the wrong file becoming the dupe master, getting all the
stats, only for emule to see a later one and rehash it. It seems to work ok.
And finally, an odd case where dupes were given the same path. so they had the
same path, name, fileexist status.. the first one gets the newest timestamp +
stats, and is set master dupe. the other just a regular missing dupe (of an
existing file).
v3.3.1470.18112
===============
Writing a class file now to handle the known.met stuff. More will follow
in good time for the other .met files. This makes the source easier to read
and understand and removes alot of stuff from the main source files.
The idea being basically that all the code to deal with the known.met files
will be housed in one class file. The same for the others eventually.

Might make it easier for people to flog them and use them in their own crappy
programs too, as long as they obey the license its ok i guess.
Anyways: Dupe handling is alot easier to do now and has been re-enabled for
known.met files. Works good as far as i can tell. The Split options is now
working too, equally well.
Adding: Known.met entry editor. edit basic info in the known.met entry.
So far, supports file name and the stats.
Adding: IpFilter.Dat adder.. a form allowing you to add your own entries.
Added: General additions to the class files too.
v3.3.1467.37912
===============
Rewrote the IpFilter class file, now its smaller, more efficient and more
usefull. Dupehandling is now available for loading and appending, which are
basically the same thing now. Check options for turning off the dupehandling.

You can elect not to merge duplicate items, which touch, but not overlap.
For example:
Merging touching items.. (descriptions are merged too, truncated here for this
80 column text file)
000.000.000.000 - 000.255.255.255 , 100 , LOW_ID (invalid)
001.000.000.000 - 001.255.255.255 , 100 , Internet Assigned Numbers Authority
002.000.000.000 - 002.255.255.255 , 100 , Internet Assigned Numbers Authority
003.000.000.000 - 003.255.255.255 , 100 , General Electric Company
004.002.160.064 - 004.002.160.079 , 100 , Werner Media
->
000.000.000.000 - 003.255.255.255 , 100 , LOW_ID (invalid), Internet Assigne...
004.002.160.064 - 004.002.160.079 , 100 , Werner Media
Example of collision.. where the block value determines which one overwrites..
061.072.000.000 - 061.077.255.255 , 200 , KOREA TELECOM
061.073.042.000 - 061.073.054.255 , 100 , Kornet-Xdsl-Sinchon-kr
->
061.072.000.000 - 061.073.041.255 , 200 , KOREA TELECOM
061.073.042.000 - 061.073.054.255 , 100 , Kornet-Xdsl-Sinchon-kr
blah blah
Is there any need for this crap? who knows. Doesn't matter now. It's done.
v3.3.1467.23630
===============
Added: Support for IpFilter.dat files. Present, you can load, save and merge
files, and do some general weeding. On a single load, no dupe checking is
preformed at present though. This will come i suppose.
But, very compilcated dupe merging is preformed when you append a file.
Based on their block status, if ranges collided they are altered to fit
around, inside or outside each other. A lower block takes priority over
a higher block value. (lower = more secure, block harder).
Fixed: The autopath location thing got the wrong dir for the downloads window.
changed from the incoming dir to the temp dir.
v3.3.1465.37536
===============
Using an installer now instead of the rar file thing.
Nice one, easy to use.. Just install. Once u set the path, each subsequent
install will know the folder. And it wont overwrite your ini file.
It does store 1 thing in the registry,
HKLM/software/Metmedic/Install_Dir= "place you installed it".
The uninstaller should remove this.
It also wont add a new uninstall entry for every install.
This is the plan for a nice no overhead installer anyways.
Just converted it to the Gnu Public License.
Read the GPL.TXT file for more details.
Added copyright notice and link to gpl.txt to about box.
v3.3.1465.25253
===============
Fixed: The listview sorting class. Now its where i want it to be. Its about 3-5
times faster, and shouldnt throw any overflow, underflow, interflow exceptions
anymore.
Also blank strings always sit at the bottom of the list now.
Also, the horizontal position isnt reset every sort. Glad i fixed that.
The lists used to be sorted twice every time a column was clicked. odd.
blah blah gloat.
v3.3.1463.28855
===============
Fixed: A bug where metmedic wouldnt investigate the default shared path
(the incoming folder) if its the only shared dir.
Fixed: That exception you get when selecting a path. You probably know the one.
Anyways, a new thing will automatically locat the default .met files for you,
 and the default incoming path when you select emules config path in the
options.
This procedure is executed everytime you play with the path thing, so it can
be turned off. If you desire it so.
Source tree cleaned up alot. Now i can release it as i go. Maybe some sap will
try and work on it.
v3.2.1459.38319
===============
Rewrote the part file repairer.
Should work infintely better.
Has a sensitivity property now. This is the number of bytes metmedic will
consider a gap. Metmedic scans the file looking for blank sections, or 00's.
Files can normally have 00's in them, and this can lead metmedic to falsely
report them as gaps. It normally doesnt matter, unless it finds an excessive
number of false gaps, then it might be getting dangerous. (untested with
emule and all.).
So unless youre a genius, stick with the presets. If you know the .part file
is an archive, high sensitivity should be ok. If metmedic warns you about
excessive gaps, increase the value.
Typically a part file will have a dozen gaps in it. maybe 20 at the most.
50,000 is too much.
v3.2.1458.32543
===============
Added: Support for some new server.met tags.
String: Version
Uint32: LastPing (a new one)
Uint32: UDPFlags

v3.2.1281.31575
===============
Just polishing this up for a final release. Looking for someone else to take
the project on. Final release wont be perfect, but should work ok, with any
luck.
Rewrote: Clients.met database, loading and saving functions to handle new
format. Can merge different client.met versions too. If they have extended
information from mods, beware though. (damn those mods, and this .met format)
Started Adding: Gap editor.. part of the downloads tools.
v3.2.1262.36097
===============
Added: VideoLan preview support. For video files in the download list. Head to
options, Video Previewers.
v3.2.1258.38003
===============
Added: Yet more verbose output. Only enabled by setting build configuration.
(Or by me only) Might make it an option someday.
Reworked: Options dialog now has tabs, as there is a bit of stuff gathering
there.
Added: Now reports build type on startup, to hopefully save a bit of confusion
when i send the wrong thing to testers and crap.
Added: Friends window now warns if a file other than emfriends.met is
processed. Improved code that does the same thing in other respective windows.
Fixed: Usual few minor niggles and bugs.
Few code improvements. Using Enums instead of groups of constants.
v3.2.1253.39260
===============
Disabled: The Dupe features. (except colouring). Never bloody worked anyway,
and this will be merged into emule itself shortly. (known.met dupe merging).
Added: Backup feature for metmedic.. Automatically backup any files it
overwrites. (not a backup feature for metmedic). 3 levels of protection.
Added: About box size now saved to ini file. Cosmetic addition.
Added: Splitter bar in the log window. Cosmetic addition.
Misc bug fixes and code improvements. More to come too i would imagine.
v3.1.1246.31330
===============
Fixed: Bad function which is used to grab a list of shared dirs from 3 files.
Now it will work alot better.
Fixed: Crash when processing downloads with no category.ini file.
Fixed: Problem getting list of shared dirs when category.ini file is not there.
Bad code, how did this happen i wonder? Not like me at all.
Fixed: About box was 0% opaque. (transparent). Kinda makes it hard to see.
Fixed: Problem when writing string + string tags from structure. Could cause
corrupt known.met file. (length of first string was written twice).
v3.1.1244.33129
===============
Improved: Ui design with regards to the download tools window.
Fixed: Slight outdated code with respect to the new tag parser/old tags/
known.met files being saved. (the exclude useless info checkmenu)
v3.1.1244.23152
===============
Fixed: That blasted index error when no met files are specified in ini file,
or there is no ini file. Should all work nicely now.
Fixed: Hybrid importing has been redone to a certain extent, can now load the
part.met files it produces. Sub part copying should be faster now too.
Improved: Support for unknown/unneeded/unhandled tags in known.met files.
They are loaded straight into a tag structure array, and are written as is.
Still a few fixes associated with this though, now that i think of it.
v3.1.1243.33478
===============
New tag parser added. Should make processing unknown metfiles alot easier.
Preliminary edonkey multi-part -> emule part converter.
downloads, right click -> maintanence -> tools.
misc bugs fixed, more to fix. (ini problems again)
v3.1.1226.30363
===============
Added: Clipboard submenu to known.met, server.met and downloads lists. They
let you copy information about selected entries to the clipboard.
Improved: The progress bar in the downloads screen. Hopefully. Wont get
invalidated by the tooltip or messed up when the form is resized. And as for
the tooltip: Hover the mouse to bring it up. And it remains until the mouse
 leaves the picturebox.
Partially Added: Tool window for downloads. Will give you the ability to copy
parts between downloads, and do other tricky stuff. (Does nothing yet)
Debug: Used #if structures to make some of the try..end try structures only
be compiled in release builds. Making it easier for me to debug in the IDE.
Means nothing to you lot.
Fixed: Crash when selecting entries in the downloads list. Odd one.
Fixed: Other problems associated with processing part.met files.
v3.1.1221.19044
===============
Redone: Loading part.met files is now a bit more bombproof. It should pick
around those corrupt part.met files that people like to keep so much.
v3.1.1219.28841
===============
Fixed: More delimiting problems, with paths stored in ini file.
Added: Checkbox in options that allows you to ignore all unknown tag messages.
Fixed: Coloum sizes not being set on load if the ini file existed. (bad logic)
Fixed: Stats: Transfered column can be sorted again. (known.met)
v3.1.1218.29567
===============
Fixed: Bug where files werre not located on hdd if they had a "," in their name
or path. Now use "|" for a delimiter.
Fixed: Crash where MM had to verifiy a files existance.. save dialogs and
stuff. Nuff said.
v3.1.1212.26702
===============
Updated: Version number to where it should be.
Fixed: Checksum window. Slider now sets proper priority. Status box shows
thread status and priority. Window is resizable now.
Other tool windows are becoming resizable now.

v2.3.1211.38749
===============
Redone: All the layout logic and all form layouts have been tweaked.
Added: 2 columns in server window for new file limits saves in server.met.
Servers can now report soft and hard file limits.
Fixed: Spelling mistake. (Aspusa)
v2.3.1210.34436
===============
Added: Last Seen column in the clients list. Now its been fixed in 28x series.
Hopefully Fixed: Errors caused by old or missing ini files. (like the one that
was distributed with MetMedic. (kayfam)
Few minor code improvments.
v2.3.1206.19651
===============
Fixed: Menu items that did nothing. (emfriends append, and checksum generation)
Improved: Dupe checking still further, but emule still doesnt like the
known.met files MM creates. Will get this fixed soon.
v2.3.1204.23168
===============
Fixed: Bug where repair would reject part.met files in certain situations.
v2.3.1203.18843
===============
Existing problem: After saving a known.met file, with dupes merged, emule tends
to rehash a bunch of files. bad..
Fixed a bug where a failed .part.met repair could render program kind of
inactive. Locked in processing mode actually.
Tided up known.met window quite a bit.

v2.3.1201.32162
===============
Second pass to the dupe check added. It catches dupes in the files that dont
exist. Dark red indicates a group of dupes in files that dont exist. Their
stats are merged into the first dupe found.
Adjusted the count when saving known.met files, its right now.
v2.3.1198.24902
===============
Repairs: Dupe checking repaired.
Didnt catch all the dupes. Should do now. Now shows progress bar of this
process.
v2.3.1198.17251
===============
Fixed: Problem with merging client.met files when dupes were present. Now saves
them right. If an error occurs when loading a client.met file, it is truncated
to that point in memory, and therefore will save correctly up to that point.
With any luck.
Known.met:
Optimsed part history loading slightly. Maybe not noticable.
Merged stats are now saved if present. Finally. heh.

v2.3.1197.27287
===============
Fix: Crash when loading known.met file with no shareddirs.dat etc
Redone: About box layout. Added link to readme.txt
Progress bar colour has changed.
v2.3.1197.17258
===============
Redone:
Known.met loading and processing has been redone. The complete file is loaded
into database. Then as its displayed, dupe checking etc is preformed and
entries are appropriately flagged. This means a file only needs to be
processed once, and if you change dupe options or what ever, just repopulate
the list.
Explanation of coloured entries:
 Gray: As before, files not present in shared dir structure.
Dark Blue: This file is a duplicate of another, and its stats have been merged
into the first instance of this file with a valid path.
Dark Red: Dupe of another file/entry, but no stats merging.. Impossible
situation. We'll see.
Classification of a duplicate entry:
It does not exist on the hardrive, and is a duplicate of a file that presently
exists. Caused by moving shared files from one folder to another, which
forces emuleto create another entry in the known.met file, and a new set of
stats.

v2.3.1194.19668
===============
Fixed issues with 64bit stat and known.met. Should load, display and save
correctly.

v2.3.1193.27865
===============
Improving: Gui should be lots quicker when resizing and lists are updating.
(actually their updates are halted for the duration of the process).
Added: My progress bar, which is much more efficient. (only redraws and checks
system idle state when it changes, which is important when its called 50,000
times for a process)
Added: A combo box to store the last used paths for each met file. Stores 6 at
the moment. But no reason why it can't store 200 or so (except speed).. Depends
how many met files people have. (i have lots coz i work with them)
Fixed: Sorting bug where name column in the friends list wasnt assigned a sort
catagory. (ie it didnt sort correctly)
Fixed Hopefully: Issues with dupechecking not working in the known.met section.
It should be ok again. Needs more testing.
v2.3.1190.29901
===============
Reworked: Consolodating friends functions into context menu. Adding exception
handling.
Fixed: Clients.met saving produced 60% garbage. Nice one.
Added: Remove entries from the clients list. Why Ive seen garbage client
entries caused by Fat32 crosslinking. Clients with rediculous transfer amounts
are shown as corrupt in the list.
All Functions Consolodated into a context menu.
Fixed: Another crash associated with server.met section, and reorganised the
window. Buttons have been moved into the right click context menu. (well the
functions). All the windows will head this way i think.
Fixed: crash when saving server.met file.
Added: Option to save log file to disk, and keep it truncated to a certain size.
Not perfect yet but working ok.
Added: You can now select the alternate line colour in the log list.
Added: Download functions.
Reset partial hashset: This deletes the hashset from the .part.met file, which
forces emule to redownload it when resuming that file. *May* help when you
constantly download corrupt file parts..
Change local file name: Self explanatory.
Renumber download: Changes the number assigned to the .part and .part.met
files. Already an option, will be moved here from the button basically.
All added to the download context menu.
v2.3.1189.15576
===============
Converted to Vb.Net.
First Public Release.
Added: Friends list.
New interaction between friends and clients list:
If friends have been loaded already, they are automatically shown in the
clients list. And if a emfriends.met file is present with the clients.met
file, it is also loaded and shown. (but not added to the current friends
list).
Interface has been reworked a bit. New toolbars and coloured Listview controls.
Known files list:
Grey text indicates files that do not physically exist.
Clients List:
Colours range from Blue -> Red (They have high credit -> You have high credit)
Green for invalid/corrupt/rediculous entry
Icons represent base client (emule, edonkey, mldonkey)
Log:
Lines alternately coloured just for fun i spose.
Html Links:
All replaces with proper clickable links that launch default browser.
All Listview Controls:
Column Widths are now saved in the ini file, so resize them to suit your
screen. You can hide columns by shrinking them right down. (width = 0 pixels)
Status Bar: (bottom)
Second number from the right: Indicates number of entries in visible ListView
control.
Right hand number: Indicates number of entries Selected in visible ListView
control.
More error checking: Dialogs will be shown when an error or exception is caught,
and details written to the log window.

v2.3.113
========
Started work on an automated backup system
Improved Part.Met loading function, now with better error reporting.
(upgraded to help with the backup system)
v2.3.112
========
Fixed an overflow error when loading part.met files.
Added client base output in the client.met csv output function.
v2.3.109
========
Added a log window, logging all programs events and errors and stuff. Probably
not perfect
yet but it works nice. You can now skip those annoying 'unknown tag' errors,
since theyre
all logged.
Probably a few other fixes too.
v2.3.106
========
Will now remember last path used in a dialog. Saved to ini file.
Total size of shared files displayed in the coulumn header (known.met window).
This
is total for the list, so will include dupes if present. Its just a rough stat.
v2.3.105
========
Fixed a bug where error messages loading the known.met file would cancel the
load
process unneccesarily.
Added a temporary ignore for a funny tag in 25b.. 03 0100 18.. whats this for#
v2.3.103
========
Played with code tidying some parts up. More processes use the progress bar.
Went over dupe checking, merging routine.
Problem with the dupe checking routine was if you remove a dupe present in the
shared
dirs, emule is only gonna rehash and add it back to the known.met file.
So to prevent this, leave the checkbox checked. (Only a dupe if file does not
exist..)
Also duplicate files will now have unique paths. (paths won't exactly match the
files,
but theyre dupes anyway, so whats the difference).
Re-enabled the dupe merging routine now these things have been cleared up.
Dupe merging wont happen on known.met files that are appended at this stage,
though
everything else applies.
v2.3.101
========
Bunch of bug fixes here..
Fixed up block renaming: Updates listview with new names.
Fixed tabstrip at the top becoming deactivated when process fail.
Fixed crash when pressing cancel on open dialogs and stuff.
You can now load additional known.met files.
Added support for SlugFilla's part history which is saved into the known.met
file.. Bloating it immesurably.
Loads and saves this part history properly. You can also leave it out if you so
desire.
Clients.met files are now saved with the right version number..
v2.3.99
=======
Ini file name and exe filename updated.
Will now delete old ini file when making new one.
v2.3.98
=======
Added pictures to a few buttons.
Made a new icon.
Tweaked a couple of things here and there.
v2.2.96
=======
Mucked around with known.met loading a bit. It now says properly when it finds
an
unknown tag. (shows hex-edit view, which is usefull). These bad tags are still
loaded, and will be written when the known.met file is saved.
v2.2.95
=======
Muddled around with known.met loading. Dupechecking now applies as the file is
loaded. Repopulating wont show files excluded here, so reprocess. Better dupe
handling combines all the stats for dupe entries into the first one loaded. And
the first valid path/filename is used.
Client.met saving added and working good.
v2.2.94
=======
Added basic filesize formatting, for those having trouble with this.
Trying to fix it..
v2.2.93
=======
Name change: to MetMedic, as chosen in forum.
Alpha additions (not fully tested as of yet):
Autoloads emfriends.met file when loading client.met file.
Friends are now listed to the right if found, and that line is bolded.
Merging two client.met files.
Slow.. if transfer amounts are different, they are added.
Is not a cheat, wont increase your credit one bit. Be warned.
May only make you think you have lots of credit, causing your head to swell..
v2.2.92
=======
Fixed bug where you cant change the details of the last server in the list.
Improved the add server function, should work now, and ip's shouldnt get messed
up. Fixed up columns. (sort by databaseid, and last ping, hidden sort columns)
v2.2.91
=======
AVIPreview by Aj support finalised, and a front end built in for the AviPreviewC
program. (supports all options).
v2.2.87
=======
AVIPreview by Aj support added. Right click on a file in the part.met view and
 select preview. (after setting avipreview path in the options.) Updated the
method used to remove selected items from the known list. Now uses the same
method as the server window.
v2.2.85
=======
Added option to leave out useless info when saving known.met file.
Completed server.met editing functionality.. Right on a server in the list to
rename or edit description.. Remove selected servers from the list. Add servers
to the list.. And save all servers present in the list to a server.met file.
+ a few bugs associated with server section fixed.
v2.2.81
=======
Fixed a bug with another unhandled tag.. Combination string/dword one. No sure
way to distinguish it from gap tags.. Maybe a source fix in emule might abolish
these unneeded info tags for good.
Working on server.met editing.. Youll be able to delete, add and edit servers in
the list. And save results.
+ Other stuff lost in the whisps of time and space.. Since tears in the fabric
of
space and time has been theorised as possible, i guess thats where they went.
v2.2.79
=======
Fixed a bug where certain clients.met files would load right if you had uploaded
or downloaded more than 1 gig to a person. (overflow error calculating the
score)
Adding other file size formatting options.. half done now.
v2.2.77
=======
Download renaming added.. Select a block of downloads, and renumber them,
starting at a certain number.
Some guy suggested it, easily enough done.
v2.2.76
=======
Numerous bug fixes to output functions. Nearly all were busted in some way.
Silly
bugger. thanks for testing that bob.
Note: you may have to rehash all your files because of the way the filehash was
cut in half. It happens. :)
v2.2.75
=======
Added an options window. Just csv output options for now.
More stats added to the download section. I can work out how much of the has
actually been downloaded, and compared to the file throughput, work a rough
(or exact) compression ratio. All good fun. (since emule uses zlib compression
on transmission packets)
More changing crap around.
v2.2.71
=======
This version is unsupported, its like half way between releases. heh.
Half fixed a bug with file hash's.
Added some output options. Write a met file from the current known file list.
And csv output on the clients window with reverse score.
New ini file format in there somewhere too.
v2.2.66
=======
Fixed a bad bug with known frame not showing when you select its button while
being in the server tab.
General number formatting improvments. Ping time formatted in server section.
New stat in server section (files per user)
v2.2.61
=======
Second Release: 15-12-2002
Fixed a bug in the about box. (link would crash program). Thanks Bob-m2tm for
that.
Disabled the tab buttons while the program is processing something..
Safetyguard.
Fixed title bar in open dialog box. Now tells you what you are looking for.
Fixed crashes when pressing buttons when you shouldnt.
+ some other crap im sure.
v2.2.57
=======
Added a fix for an extra tag in tarods server.met files. The tag seems to store
Max Users for that server. Less than half the servers report this information.
But for the ones that do, ive used the max and current user count to work a
rough
loading statistic for the network. 2/3 full it seems. :)
v2.2.55
=======
Mucking around with file size formatting. Elandal[ARC] has been reccomended
a standard for formmatting file sizes. Interesting.. Testing stage now anyway.
v2.2.54
=======
More columns fixed up.
Changed nags about missing shareddirs.dat and preferences.ini
v2.2.53
=======
Fixed a bug where program would crash when you have an empty shareddirs.dat
file.
Thanks ASK for that one.
v2.2.52
=======
Added Server.met support.
Fixed column sorting. Now faster, and file size columns show formatted numbers.
Misc bux fixes.
v2.2.50
=======
First public Release: 13-12-2002
Prior to this emule was a bowl of chaotic pea and ham soup. It was a jumbled
form, whose purpose was to attemp to interprit the complex .met format.
Tibetian monks worked tireless solving the complex partial implicit
differential equations..
Mammoths were cloned and used as beasts of burdeon to drive the turbines needed
to power the parrallel processing matrix..
