Thread: I'v had a thought! - Make Hibernation Better?

It would mean the same song playing from the same place each time you started the PC up.

What if you had removed that song from your playlists?

I'd thought of that...

If you happend to delete the file it simply wouldnt play.

would puting computer into hibernation, just at the end of the last song, with random selected, select a random track each time computer is resumed?

See the EWF/minlogon thread. Using components from XPe it's possible to achieve what you want.

I think we need to put a sticky up or something, because a lot of people don't realize what we've got going on here. Anyways, yeah using EWF we can create a hibernate once, resume many (HORM) image. I haven't checked yet, but I imagine that you can do it even without making the filesystem readonly since it's just the special version of NTLDR that does it. If that's the case then the frontend could always update a file with the last action (playing mp3, video, radio, etc.) and then on resume it should always read that file to see what it should load up. But that's up to the frontend developers.

Your right, we just need frontend support for this kind of thing.

Just installed EWF ...

It does exactly what i wanted .... thanks.

mick.

yeah...i just stumbled uppon the EWF HORM document.

Awesome work guy!

STICKy please..


one question though.
does EWF and HORM improve hibernation times or just boot times

If I make changes with ewf enabled... can I then commit the changes afterwards, by typing, ewfmgr c: -commit -live ??

mick.

ewfmgr c: -commitanddisable -live
ewfmgr C: -enable
EWF will then be enabled on the next restart.
