The rise of AI photo enlarging programs suddenly made my old small photos interesting again ♥

However, when I list them in Desktop Win 10 Explorer, the order is not only to my liking. I would very much like an option to also have the pictures listed according to HEIGHT x WIDTH, so I easily can sort the result. Otherwise, if they all are enlarged the same, say x8, portrait format versions easily get too high / too large.

I would want to list the pictures in HEIGHT x Width (not just the usual WxH) order (low-height ones first) and then mark some of them, to drag them to my new enlarger.

So, the app should read the dimensions, and list them,, and allow me to drag a part of them to my bigjpg.exe.

Explorer doesn't offer this HxW feature.
Do you?

Edit: or do you know a program that does?

Skrommel's MoveOut will do the job. So just forget about the following request

Someone at DC once wrote a coding snack that would meet my need - but I can't find it!  (yes, I can! (https://www.dcmembers.com/skrommel/download/moveout/)

In a folder I have a lot of (sub-) folders that each have a photo file - or they have a full html, including the wanted image (JPG, BMP or PNG, but always larger than a thousand pixels).

# I want a script that will collect these photos and rename them and move them all into a single folder #

The new file name should of course merely be the name of the "Move from..." folder (plus 1, 2 etc if need be).

Do we already have such a program?   :-\
Or are YOU the one who would care to write it? ;-)     :Thmbsup:

General Software Discussion / any shit browsers I can use?
« on: November 22, 2022, 06:28 AM »
Is there an Internet browser (Windows 10 x64 desktop) that I can use to enter an elderly site that apparently has been abandoned, so it no longer has what it normally takes? The site used to be acceptable some years ago, and now I want to visit it again, but I am prevented by my various browsers. Of course the site may have been invaded by wicked people,,, but my security programs are reasonable, and I am willing to check it, even though the situation reminds me of an medieval map showing the ocean next to Norway - the text in the waters said "here be dragons"...

Nowadays most sites "know" what size monitor, I have. So they often refuse to offer me bigger image dimensions, than they think I could possibly need! But of course I very often want larger dimensions images (for editing), than the 1920 x 1080 pixels my monitor merely is.

My idea & request is a script that would tell these sites, that my monitor screen really is 3840 x 2160 or (even better) 7680 x 4320 pixels, please?

Best regards,

General Software Discussion / Speedtest of my Internet browsers :-(
« on: January 22, 2021, 06:22 AM »
I've upped my Internet connection (from 300 Mbps) to 1,000 Mbps download speed.

I was very surprised to not notice any improvement!

After removing advert blockers and other apps, I still didn't see any difference in the speed online, so I began wondering what on earth could be wrong. I mean, you should notice a difference between 300 and 1000, shouldn't you? (The answer is Yes!)

First off, I checked what my own IS (=Internet Supplier)'s speedtester (https://kundeservice.yousee.dk/bredbaand/loes-problem/hastighedstest) had to say: 138 Mbps down. Hm... that was a disapppointment by itself - not even close to the 300 I had been paying for, not to mention the new 1000!

I downloaded a series of Internet browsers and tested them at once. By "at once", I mean: Download, install, run! No apps or settings of any kind, just paste https://www.speedtest.net/ >Enter >and click GO!

I was in shock: The results were all in the area of 43 - 124 Mbps. They should kiss a thousand !!!

      Mbps:
Brave:    44
Opera:    44
Vivaldi:    54
Internet Expl: 97
Firefox: 108
Chrome: 124

Later, an in-browser-app for Edge: 154MBps

I have been in daily contact with my IS, but has been put on hold until Corona allows them to visit my home again.

But then one of their technicians phoned me and asked eh... have you not tested with Ookla Speedtester's APP? You should! This was the first time I heard about it: an app for local speedtesting (https://www.speedtest.net/apps). I now have it (Speedtest by Ookla) and my online connection apparently is, as it should be (I have not fully reached a thousand, but almost): 826⁺Mbps

But the various Internet browsers are still wheelchairing at 43 - 154 Mbps. How can my Internet browsers all be so extremely slow?

WHY, oh, WHY?!!
