Finished Programs / Duplicated Folders/Directories...

« on: April 13, 2023, 06:13 AM »

Hi All

I have not posted for yonks, but still check back here every now and then...  I have a question or request if anyone is bored...

I have scanned the forum, and can't find anything relating to this...

Anyway. I am trying to find something that will scan for duplicate folders/directories. In that, a whole folder has been copied elsewhere and now two versions exist. A crude method could be that it simply checks the number of files and the names of the files (bur would be better if content/checksum were checked also).

I use onedrive, and if I scan for a file often it comes back in more than one destination. I am sure this is there I have accidentally copied a folder or uploaded the same images more than once.

I know I can use a filededupe (I created a command line one myself, which is why I now know I have duplicated folders). I appear to be using so much space on duplicated stuff, it is so annoying!

Anyone got anything that can do this at a folder level?

Cheers

Hi

Sorry, only just got round to testing this!

I downloaded getmail from the link you supplied, but immediately, Windoes Defender said it malicious and not to run it?  Any ideas if it is dodgy?

Post New Requests Here / Auto print Email Attachment

« on: July 21, 2017, 08:15 AM »

Hi All

Not posted he in a long time!!

What I need, is a simple standalone prog, perhaps minimised in the systray and sits a monitors a given POP email account r something like a GMAIL account ( I would obviously need to set the username/pass etc)

Then, when it find an email, it automatically prints (to the pc's default printer) any attachment to the email (not the whole email body itself, just the attachment).

Could have added options such as the option the delete/forward the email after being processed
Set the time delay for the check
 etc

But essentially, that's it.

If no one is interested, I will put together myself, but just putting it out there if anyone wants to give it a go, or if anyone is aware of something like this already?

I really do want it as simple as possible, and nice and portable?

Cheers

Hi Derk

I think you have tried to over engineer the solution.  A single process/app could do everything you have said in one go.

Also, it depends what you are actually trying to capture. Do you have a real life example of something you want to capture?

Finished Programs / Re: SOLVED: Plea to developers: 1-step app to rotate iOS videos

« on: August 13, 2014, 06:00 AM »

There is a program called VirtualDub, (www.virtualdub.com).

Go to :
Video -> Filters -> Add.. -> Rotate (and select whatever rotation you want).

Not seamless, but does the trick

Afraid I won't hit the date either...   

So near yet so far.  The only option missing now, is the ability to restore a file from a backup.

I was hoping to have more time over the past two weeks to finish, but Christmas got in the way....

I will just have to release it late, as a non-nany-2013-app.

Some current screen shots...

A request....

If anyone is up for helping me test, please let me know.  A good chunk of work is done so far, but still quite a bit to go...

Isn't it called the NANY CHALLENGE?  or is it supposed to be easy..... 

I don't expect it to be as smooth as silk....  But I'd rather try and do something I've not done before...

Out of interest, what problems do you forsee? 

What funtionality should it have?

Any ideas??

« on: November 27, 2012, 07:25 AM »

I appreciate that there is software out there that does this already, this is partly for my satisfaction....

What I am looking to create is a backup application, that will allow you to back up from your pc to a friends.  Therefore, giving you effectively 'unlimited' backup space (well, whatever space they decide to give you).

In addition, you will have an option to back up the a removable drive and to an FTP server (which many people might have access to anyway).

Its very early stages, so I am open to ideas and imput if anyone has any?

Cheers

Couldn't you just order by the File type column in explorer, and select the first to the last in the list (of the extension you want)?

This is going back a bit!!

Yes, I believe it works on Win7, but I haven't looked at it for some time...

Give me a little while and I'll find the source code and check it again!

Blimey, I hardly remember what I did this morning, let alone what I was doing nearly 5 months ago!!

Umm, not even sure where I put the source code for this, I'll see if I can find it, complile it up and put it back on here....
