Our tutorplayer installation which comes with Sanako study 1200 tutor on the teacher computer is broken

  1. image
  2. What’s with the non-existent path hard-coded here? Missing path delimiter? But that is not enoguh to fix the path: There is a student.settings in C:\ProgramData\Sanako\Study\Student\Tutor.Settings – not sure why tutorplayer is not accessing this file.
  3. Which is double annoying since I just had to enable MFF as default recording save format for some teachers that need dual track support which is buggy with MP3.

Manage some of your teacher computer settings per logged in user

  1. Another day, another hack, and inconsequential, unless of course you are in my situation:
  2. If you need a simple way to change some of your Sanako settings per logged in user
  3. but cannot use the logged-in user system built into Sanako Study 1200:

 

$path = "C:\ProgramData\Sanako\Study\Tutor\"

If (@UserName = "PRTOTECTTHEINNOCENT") Then	
; change the sanako default save to dual track supporting mff
	; prereq: customized settings files in the folder ready to rename 
	FileCopy($path & "mffTutor.Settings", $path & "Tutor.Settings", 1)
ElseIf (@UserName = "tplagwit") Then 
; change the sanako default save to dual track supporting wma, for testing
	FileCopy($path & "wmaTutor.Settings", $path & "Tutor.Settings", 1)
Else 
; keep the default mp3, but we may have to reset the tutorsettings on this unfrozen computer
	FileCopy($path & "mp3Tutor.Settings", $path & "Tutor.Settings", 1)
EndIf
; tutor.exe could be hardcoded to (re)load here
If ProcessExists("Tutor.exe") Then
	; determine: we could kill tutor to reload it, but that could be disruptive of a class
Else
	Run("C:\Program Files (x86)\SANAKO\Study\Tutor\Tutor.exe")
EndIf
Exit

Pretty obvious, but took me a while to figure out…

Why Sanako error Study files does not exist?

Well, it does, as the lower window proves. What gives? CAM05880

The Sanako student recorder play list always shows hidden files…

… not honoring the folder options in windows Explorer. Those and to manage (delete to remove from list) hidden files in the playlist window, you have to disable the hide in windows Explorer first.
