Is there a recommended free replacement for PTFB?  I find it's not working with some buttons...for example on one app I'm trying to auto minimize the app since it starts opened on bootup and it doesn't recognize the button.   Thanks!

I know there have to be programs that already do this but the ones I looked at seem to loose folders as they do the copying.  In a nutshell I have a directory of tv shows and a directory of movies on C drive.....they get recorded and converted to mkv on this drive because it's a local drive and the transfer speeds are much faster but after everything is settled I'd like to move them to a USB HD with more space...the catch is if they are in folders by tv show I'd like them to STAY that way...and in an ideal world if they are NOT in a folder by tv show in the copy process it would create one and bundle them up but thats just wishful thinking.  Some sample filenames are:

Elementary-S02E13-All in the Family.mkv  Elementary-S02E13-All in the Family.srt  Elementary-S02E15-Corpse de Ballet.mkv
Elementary-S02E13-All in the Family.nfo  Elementary.S02E14.HDTV.x264-LOL.mp4      Elementary.S02E15.HDTV.x264-LOL.mp4

Once Upon a Time in Wonderland-S01E02-Trust Me.mkv        Once Upon a Time in Wonderland-S01E05-Heart of Stone.srt
Once Upon a Time in Wonderland-S01E02-Trust Me.nfo        Once Upon a Time in Wonderland-S01E06-Who's Alice.mkv
Once Upon a Time in Wonderland-S01E02-Trust Me.srt        Once Upon a Time in Wonderland-S01E06-Who's Alice.nfo
Once Upon a Time in Wonderland-S01E03-Forget Me Not.mkv   Once Upon a Time in Wonderland-S01E06-Who's Alice.srt
Once Upon a Time in Wonderland-S01E03-Forget Me Not.nfo   Once Upon a Time in Wonderland-S01E07-Bad Blood.mkv
Once Upon a Time in Wonderland-S01E03-Forget Me Not.srt   Once Upon a Time in Wonderland-S01E07-Bad Blood.nfo
Once Upon a Time in Wonderland-S01E04-The Serpent.mkv     Once Upon a Time in Wonderland-S01E07-Bad Blood.srt
Once Upon a Time in Wonderland-S01E04-The Serpent.nfo     Once Upon a Time in Wonderland-S01E08-Home.mkv
Once Upon a Time in Wonderland-S01E04-The Serpent.srt     Once Upon a Time in Wonderland-S01E08-Home.nfo
Once Upon a Time in Wonderland-S01E05-Heart of Stone.mkv  Once Upon a Time in Wonderland-S01E08-Home.srt


As you can see each show COULD have a ( .mkv OR mp4 ) .. a .srt and a .nfo.....I have similar folders/files for Movies.  If someone could point me in the right direction I'd be appreciative.  I like the file2folder app but it did not appear to bundle while ignoring extension nor allow me to bundle based on showname...typically seperated from the rest of the filename by a dash ( - ) or a period ( . ) or another method would be the part of the filename before SxxExx.  Thanks for your time reading this.

There may be something that does this already but I've been unable to locate it.  In a nutshell I use Media center to record tv and Mediaportal to play shows....I have a "shortcut" in the menu of mediaportal that runs MCE but for a brief period while it's running the executable the user can see the desktop...I'm looking for a utility that will either blank the screen for x seconds or display a fake progress bar while blanking the screen until mce is fully loaded and running.  The same would be true briefly when exiting MCE and returning to mediaportal (the shortcut I use doesn't actually close mediaportal..it's just minimized so it comes back up fairly quickly compared to the load of MCE which I guess averages around 8-10 seconds.  The program could either call mce directly or just run and blank the screen while my "multishortcut" plugin runs.....the multishortcut plugin can run up to 3 programs at the same time when clicking the menu item so I could run the MCE program AND a small util to blank screen/provide status bar....or I could call the util directly and let IT call MCE.....I would however be using the same program to also call the Kylo web browser from mediaportal.   I'm trying to make the execution more "wife friendly" so to speak.

Has anyone heard of anything similar or can toss something quickly together in autohotkey that does the minimum of blanking the screen for x seconds while mce loads?  The rest is just pie in the sky hopes.  Thanks for taking the time to listen to my rambling.

I am requesting a program that given a list of filenames such as:

Airwolf-2009-06-11-0.tp
Airwolf-2009-06-11-0.tp.index.dat
Airwolf-2009-06-11-0.tp.inprogress.xml
Airwolf-2009-06-11-0.tp.timeindex.dat
A-Team-2009-06-11-0.tp
A-Team-2009-06-11-0.tp.chapters.xml
A-Team-2009-06-11-0.tp.index.dat
A-Team-2009-06-11-0.tp.timeindex.dat
A-Team-2009-06-11-1.tp
A-Team-2009-06-11-1.tp.AudioStats.xml
A-Team-2009-06-11-1.tp.index.dat
A-Team-2009-06-11-1.tp.timeindex.dat
A-Team-2009-06-11-1.tp.VideoStats.xml
Knight Rider-2009-06-11-0.tp
Knight Rider-2009-06-11-0.tp.chapters.xml
Knight Rider-2009-06-11-0.tp.index.dat
Knight Rider-2009-06-11-0.tp.timeindex.dat
Rockford Files-2009-06-11-0.tp
Rockford Files-2009-06-11-0.tp.chapters.xml
Rockford Files-2009-06-11-0.tp.index.dat
Rockford Files-2009-06-11-0.tp.timeindex.dat

will create a subfolder for each show (Airwolf, A-Team, Knight Rider, Rockford Files) or use the one that already exists and move each file to the appropriate show.  Ideally I'd like to run this daily from windows task manager at a set time to keep my shows organized.  If a file is open (being written to) the move will probably fail so the program should be able to handle this.   The path to the video folder would be passed on the command line....i.e.  filename.exe G:\Videos

There was a program for beyondtv users that did this but the author has vanished and the program now gives an "index" error of some sort.  Can anyone help us out?

What I'm basically looking for is an app to auto submit my entry to various sweepstakes I run across that allow entry once a day or once a month etc....if you feel that the auto submission is an issue something I could run which would just OPEN all the various sweepstakes pages in the browser for me to submit would still be beneficial.   If you are wanting to enter 20 to 30 a day it gets rather tedious to look up each one every day even with bookmarks.  I use firefox as a browser and do have lastpass which has a form filler option.  Thanks for your time reading this either way.
