| Is
there anyway to automatically filter Midi files based on their
quality? |
| We are currently working on such technology, but
it has a low priority and is difficult to achieve in
practice. The best we can currently offer is a way to make
the auditioning process quicker and easier. The software
does allow you to filter your midi files by their size. We
have found that the larger files tend to be of a higher quality
than their smaller counterparts, though this is not always
true. |
| |
| Why
are the search results occasionally inaccurate? |
| Whilst we are proud of the accuracy of Midi
Harvester, like a search engine, it can sometimes produce
inaccurate results. The software can be confused if a
website claims to have Midi files by a certain artist, but they
actually have Midi files from various artists. It is
possible to eliminate most such problems by selecting High
Search Accuracy. |
| |
| The
progress bar moves backwards half way through the search, what
is causing this? |
| The program may not know exactly how many web
pages to examine at the beginning of the search. If it
raises this estimate during the search, the progress bar will
drop back to reflect the amount done, compared to the amount
still to do. |
| |
| Why
are the titles of some of the Midi files muddled or don't make
sense? |
| The software determines the title of the Midi
files by looking at the text in the hyperlinks to them. If
this text is muddled, then the title in the list will also
be. The software is currently not able to filter ALL of the
junk. We are working on this, and hope to release an
update soon. |
| |
| Occasionally,
the search seems to stall half way through, and then start again
after a minute or so, why? |
| Certain web pages (containing errors) seem to
cause this problem every so often, we are currently looking into
it, and hope to have it fixed in the next version. |
| |
| Why
does the number of pages examined never equal the initial number
'Left to do'? |
| Some links to certain pages may be dead (give a
404 - page not found error). These pages obviously cannot be
examined. If the page takes an unreasonable amount of
time to retrieve, it may also be abandoned. |
| |
| What
is making the Internet Explorer 'Splash Screen' load up whilst I
am using the software? |
| This software reuses some Internet Explorer
functionality. On some older setups (e.g. Windows 95), this can
cause a splash screen to be displayed briefly from time to time. |
| |
| When
I download the Midi files from the list, Midi Harvester seems to
be slow to respond, will this be fixed in the next software
update? |
| Although it does not have any serious affect on
the software, some people have found this annoying. We are
looking into making the process more responsive for the next
update. |
| |
| When
can I expect an update, and what new features will there be? |
| We are working on a major update which should appear
around August. As well
as improving upon existing features, there will be a jukebox
facility. This will make auditioning and managing your
Midi files even easier. |
