Finished Programs / Re: DONE: Batch adjust shortcut targets
« on: July 17, 2012, 08:56 PM »

Well, I'm running out of room on the hard disk (c:) I was using, and need to transfer my contour plot images over to (e:).....

Using Batch Shortcut Modifier, adjusting all the present shortcuts to the images now on the different drive should be a breeze.

Question:  If I should decide to convert all the .png image files to .jpg (smaller file size), what would the RegEx code be for the shortcuts modification using BSM?  In other words, if any present shortcut contains ".png", change it to ".jpg".

My present BSM.ini file is as follows:

[General]
Folder=C:\5\QQQ\shortcuts 1_x_178
PathSearch=C:\\4(.+)
PathReplace=C:\\5\1
NameSearch=(.+)
NameReplace=\1


Thanks much!

SyncBack Pro looks promising, 4wd.  I'm curious if you use the compression option for back-ups?  If so, do you go with the default "standard/normal" level?

Compression would seem to be a plus for saving room on the destination, if that's an issue.

Thanks for mentioning SyncBack.

I'm not saying that I'd want compression.  Just wondering how you folks handle such small, quick back-up needs.

Investigating Robocopy, I see it's been superseded by RichCopy.  And then there's a competing XXCopy.  Those are just a few of the command-line approaches.

Perhaps not so much a request for someone to write a program, as just a query for best advice.

I have several folders that I'd like to back up to a USB flash drive.  Before bed at night I'd like to double-click on a desktop shortcut and have the assignment performed totally and flawlessly.

One way to accomplish the task would be a batch file, with copy commands for each folder.

xcopy c:\images\*.* /c /d /q /r /s /v /y  f:\images
xcopy c:\data\*.*     /c /d /s /q /r /v /y  f:\data
etc.

No muss, no fuss.

How can this process be improved upon?

For instance, specialized software that:

-- checks for changed files, and only copies those needed?
-- archives/compresses everything to save flash drive space?
-- pops up a final window/report showing that all copied successfully?

Please share your suggestions.

My apologies, 4wd.  I was testing with the previous version.

Current version works perfectly.

BSM is the best Batch Shortcut Modifier on the planet.

By the way, for those following, above in this thread was mentioned the program "Shortcuts Search And Replace."  That, too, is a fine program.  HOWEVER, for large jobs in my tests 4wd's BSM is about 100X faster.

Thanks very, very much, 4wd!
