Post New Requests Here / Need a specific type a renaming utility or script

« on: February 18, 2023, 11:10 AM »

Posted this on a few other forums but they all were locked for various reasons.




As the image shows I have many files that I would like to move to proper folders. I need these files to move to these folders. This is just a limited example as I need all files to be moved into their proper season folder.

[Select]

Y:\TD\_Work\Mobile\Game.Theory.with.Bomani.Jones.S02E02.AAC.MP4-Mobile.mp4
Y:\TD\_Work\Mobile\Gold.Lies.and.Videotape.S01E05.The.Monster.AAC.MP4-Mobile.mp4
Y:\TD\_Work\Mobile\Graveyard.Carz.S16E02.AAC.MP4-Mobile.mp4
Y:\TD\_Work\Mobile\Full.Swing.2023.S01E08.AAC.MP4-Mobile.mp4

Y:\TD\_Work\Mobile\Game.Theory.with.Bomani.Jones.S02.AAC.MP4-Mobile
Y:\TD\_Work\Mobile\Gold.Lies.and.Videotape.S01.The.Monster.AAC.MP4-Mobile
Y:\TD\_Work\Mobile\Graveyard.Carz.S16.AAC.MP4-Mobile
Y:\TD\_Work\Mobile\Full.Swing.2023.S01.AAC.MP4-Mobile

The script needs to be able to read the files name to the season:

Full.Swing.2023.S01
and then move it to the folder:
Full.Swing.2023.S01.AAC.MP4-Mobile.

I have looked through many websites today and many that I found just want to make a folder with the file's name instead of moving it to a season folder.

This is for Windows 10 batch file. Making folders is not necessary but if possible adding that would be even better at saving time.

Also wanted to add that I would be just running this inside only one folder. No need for paths. Just move files into designated folders.

--edit
I was asked to clarify. Not sure where I am not clear.

My current method.
Remove all video files to one directory.
From there move files by hand to previously created directories.
If a new directory is needed I use a files2folders app that is installed.
To get to a proper season format I manually edit the folder's name and remove episode numbers.

[Select]

@echo off
for %%a in (*.*) do (
md "%%~na" 2>nul
move "%%a" "%%~na"
)

That script is not needed as it does all files into individual folders. I do not need all files in their own folders. Almost every script I found currently is some form of this.


If you looking for more information than this I can not provide more as everything I am doing is done by hand. I know just enough about scripting to modify simple code to suit my needs but beyond that, I am at a loss. My career path was military/construction/nurse. Nothing with coding.

General Software Discussion / Run software on GPU to compress images?

« on: January 10, 2023, 10:50 AM »

I compress PNG images with GitHub - fhanau/Efficient-Compression-Tool: Fast and effective C++ file optimizer as this is the best compressor I have found. As with any software that compresses a file, it takes time. I was wondering if there was a way to offload the compressing to the GPU to see if there is an increase in speed.

Post New Requests Here / Possible to get a GUI for this program?

« on: August 29, 2021, 09:19 AM »

https://fbdtemme.github.io/torrenttools/

I work with torrents and try to help others out the best I can. This program is excellent, yet command line only.

I was wondering about a GUI that is editable to be able to add more trackers to it.

I was hoping it would be so that you could click on all the trackers you wanted to create a torrent for, and it would run through the list.

Not sure if I am being clear to someone who is not familiar with torrenting so if more information is needed please ask.

General Software Discussion / Kodak AIO Printer

« on: July 05, 2019, 02:57 PM »

I have spent hours trying to track down how to get the software installed on a Windows 10 machine. Anyone here have any luck in doing so?

WIN10 installs something so that I can read the card that's installed and print but I can't install the AIO software driver so that I can access the scanner from the computer.

Post New Requests Here / I work with classics movie files

« on: May 11, 2019, 09:17 AM »

Background:
I am a member of a forum where we have access to many old movies. Many will never be released by the companies that hold the rights to them. Most are recorded on VHS tapes from the 80's and probably will never see the light of day again if we loose them.

Now for the request:
I would like to be able to get some conformity to the naming of the files. So would need something that I could open, go to the file in question, click on it, and then be able to manipulate the name.

Here is a general name by scene standards that I wish to imitate.

Modern.Times.1936.REMASTERED.720p.BluRay.x264-SADPANDA

1) Box to write name
2) Box to write year
3) Box to write misc
4) Drop down to give encoding size
5) Drop down box to give rip type
6) Drop down box to give encoding codec

Would it be simpler to have an INI file? E.G. Ten generic listings and how you set up the INI file it could either be a box to write in or a drop down selection? If something is not selected or written to then it does not add to the name. Standard naming has a period instead of spaces through the entire name.

1) Left blank so I would be able to write in it
2) Left blank so I would be able to write in it
3) -- so programs knows to look at the INI file and get drop down options

INI file might look something like this? Or just each new line below a number is an option.
1:
2:
3: --
3a: SD
3b: 480P
3c: 576P
3d: 720P
3e: 1080P
4: --
5: --
6: --
7: --
8: --
9: --
10:

Once done possibly make a NFO file with the name so information about it can be given? Possible check box to create one and another to open after creating.
Maybe an option to create a folder with the new name and move file and create NFO into it.

Being very descriptive so you get a real idea what I am asking up front. To me this seems a big ask but I am not sure how easy/hard it would be to program something along these lines.

After thought, this is not really needed in the program but would be a nice overall add. The ability to add names to given spots. E.G. a faded name that vanishes once you type in that box or use a drop down menu.

1: {Movie Name}
2: {Movie Year}
3: -- {Resolution}
3a: SD
3b: 480P
3c: 576P
3d: 720P
3e: 1080P
4: -- {Riptype}
4a: VHSRip
4b: UnkownRip
5: -- {Encoding Codec}
5a: DivX3
5b: DivX4
5c: DivX5
5d: Xvid
6: --
7: --
8: --
9: --

General Software Discussion / Qucik Pop Menu for pasting text

« on: April 02, 2019, 09:54 PM »

Quick Pop Menu is something I found on this site while reading others comments.

I was wondering if anyone knows of a simple text pasting program that has a similar setup as QPM? Currently using 'Clippings' on FF and while that works it is limited to just FF.

I have seen other recently threads about text expanders and looked at them but many are just way to 'heavy' in use. Just looking for a simple hotkey menu setup that I can expand to my hearts content. What I would tend to use them for is large pasting of text that could be hundreds if not thousands of characters at a time.

Post New Requests Here / IDEA: OMDB movie parser

« on: April 09, 2017, 12:41 AM »

I deal with a lot of classic movies on a website I help moderate. I currently use a GreaseMonkey script to generate a basic BBCode NFO. [https://gist.github.com/cletusc/8d26902f46fe6b3ed850] This no longer works as intended since IMDB changed the layout of the pages. It still works well enough but I have been for a long time looking for something stand alone.

So the idea is to use OMDB.com API to gather the information and the parse the information into a given template. Be nice if each had a spot to make a template as you wanted. Here is an example of the OMDB api data return.

{"Title":"Soul Eater","Year":"2008–2009","Rated":"TV-14","Released":"07 Apr 2008","Runtime":"24 min","Genre":"Animation, Action, Adventure","Director":"N/A","Writer":"N/A","Actors":"Laura Bailey, Chiaki Omigawa, Micah Solusod, Brittney Karbowski","Plot":"Set in the Shinigami technical school for weapon meisters, the series revolves around 3 duo's. These pairs are a partnership between a weapon meister and a human weapon. Trying to reach a ranking of \"Death Scythe\" (and thus fit for use by the Shinigami) they must collect the souls of 99 evil humans and 1 witch. However, forces outside of the Academy make it more challenging of a feat.","Language":"Japanese","Country":"Japan","Awards":"N/A","Poster":"https://images-na.ss...kwOQ@@._V1_SX300.jpg","Metascore":"N/A","imdbRating":"8.0","imdbVotes":"8,175","imdbID":"tt1214085","Type":"series","totalSeasons":"1","Response":"True"}


Example of a possible template.

http://www.imdb.com/title/%imdbID%/

Runtime: %Runtime%
Genre(s): %Genre%
Language(s): %Language%
Country: %Country%
Plot:

%plot%



Cast:
%cast%

I admit I would rather have IMDB for all the cast/director links but figure OMDB might be easier to work with.

Post New Requests Here / [IDEA] Book Tracking 1.1

« on: February 24, 2014, 08:39 PM »

I posted this in another thread and was told I would get a better response here. So full copy of what I said is below.

I have always been into books. I am between 3-4000 read books so far in my life. During this time I have tried on multiple occasions to try and track down everything I have read with various levels of success.

Of the many programs out there they really do not do simple tracking very well. Some start out well and die. Some just don't have a clue. Others are kitchen sink varieties and the idea gets lost.

After using mousers epCheck program I was thinking that if something along the lines of this could be had it would be great.

Simple and basic program that can collect data from a stable website like worldcat and keep relevant information at hand.

Tabs for author, series, name, and year.

So far there is not alot out there. Many just fall short. Calibre does not come close since as you add books it gets unwieldy. Use of a spreadsheet is time consuming without out import.

I do not want online since as we have seen over the years things change or they get bought out. Or worse they go offline and all data is lost.

Dreaming but if anyone has an idea it would be great to hear of it. And I already read everything in this forum and others, so most things you might post I probably already looked and and dismissed. So I would imagine it would have to be a hard to find program. Also freeware.

The Form Letter Machine / Custom date

« on: February 10, 2014, 07:42 PM »

What I am looking for is the ability to add the option of date in the future. Either by the hour or by days.

I do many pasting of basic information and this program can help but in playing with it I notice that while there is a fine degree of being able to customize the date there seems to be no way to add future dates to it.

I would like to be able to add in the custom date something along the lines of:

Default:
%A, %B %d, %Y (%I:%M%p)
Monday, February 10, 2014 (08:32PM)

Possible adjustments:
%A, %B %d+3, %Y (%I:%M%p)
Thursday, February 13, 2014 (08:32PM)

As you can see if I was able to add +3 to the date it would change the rest of the information.

It would also be nice to have an option of adding a countdown or count up option to something.

IE:
Bob you have till the agreed upon due date Thursday, March 30, 2014 (47 days) to get the project completed.

Finished Programs / SOLVED: Simple clipboard request

« on: December 07, 2010, 07:04 PM »

I have looked everywhere. While I found one software that was nice and worked well it was not what I really wanted. CopyPasteXP20

What I need is a simple way of Copying text to the clipboard and then when I paste back to something it paste in the order I copied/cut in.

IE I copy 1,2,3,4 I want to past back 1,2,3,4. So far all I can find is clipboard programs that want to expand the clipboard to hold in memory all text copied. That I don't need. Once pasted back to something it should be deleted.
