Post New Requests Here / Re: IDEA: Create folder structure or path
« on: April 27, 2009, 03:28 PM »
Thanks for the suggestion!

This, however, is not what I want to achieve.  I found this free sw to do what I think you suggest to do with xplorer2: TreeCopy

But both of these two programs will create a whole tree of branches, when I only want one single branch!

If I want the branch \Documents and Settings\All Users\Documents\My Pictures\ (like in my first post) I would have to copy the 'Documents and Settings' level.  That would give me a copy that looks something like this:

D:
 | temp
     | Documents and Settings
         |  Administrator
              |  Everything below here
         |  All Users
              |  Application Data             
                  |  Everything below here
              |  Desktop
                  |  Everything below here
              |  Documents
                  |  My Pictures
              |  Favorites
                  |  Everything below here
              |  Start Menu
                  |  Everything below here
         |  Default User
              |  Everything below here
         |  User1
              |  Everything below here
         |  User2
              |  Everything below here

When all I really want is this:
D:
 | temp
     | Documents and Settings
         |  All Users
              |  Documents
                  |  My Pictures


Sure, I could use this method to create the complete empty structure, then copy my file to the desired destination, and finally use the convenient little DelEmpty-app by Skrommel.  But that's kind of an uggly solution...

So, suggestions please..?  :huh:  Is there maybe an easy way to do this already?

Otherwise, I'm thinking a program that adds options to the context menu in Windows Explorer.  When right-clicking a folder, the context menu would offer "Copy folder path" (implies from root to here), and when right clicking another folder, the menu would offer "Paste folder path" if one is present in the clipboard. 
If you do not want the complete path from the root, you could manually copy just a selection of it from the Address-bar, which places it in the clipboard, and thus makes it possible to paste with "Paste folder path".

Now, that'd be great!  :D

Post New Requests Here / IDEA: Create folder structure or path
« on: April 22, 2009, 05:24 AM »
I would like to be able to create a 'copy' of a path. 

For example, let's say I have a file in this folder:
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Documents\My Pictures\

I would like to copy this file to D:\temp so that the path becomes like this:
D:\temp\Documents and Settings\All Users\Documents\My Pictures\

Now, I would have to go to D:\temp, create the first folder Documents and Settings, then enter that folder to create the next All Users folder, and so on, before I can copy my file to that location.

If possible, I'd like a right click option in Windows Explorer to select 'Copy with path' and then 'Paste and create path'.

I hope I have managed to explain myself?

Thanks!

Here's a few:

When I inserted a (fried, as it turned out) USB memory stick.  Probably made in China, eh?

I started to move a file a couple of years ago.  I suppose it's still on the move: almost 3 million minutes is more than 5 years, isn't it?

Don't remember what file I wanted to play, but it couldn't have been a good one...

And finally, the new and all-improved Paint Shop Pro X as a new Corel product:

I really appreciate the option to not have them asking this anymore!  :huh:

Hmpfr!  Insulted!  ;)

I have 256MB of RAM!  Ha!

Seriously, though, it is my work computer, where I normally use only Office apps.  I'd have a hard time motivating my IT support I need more power...

At home, where I have a more up to date system, there is no noticable flickering.  Still, the method proposed above feels...  I don't know... Optimized? :D

Doing that update even when it's not necessary, just because it makes no noticable difference is the first step towards bloating, don't you think?  I was around in the middle of the 80's and the first home computers.  They could run incredible games and apps on just a couple of MHz of 8-bit processing, using a few kb of memory!  Then you really had to optimize the usage of the limited available resources!  Today, you need 512 mb of memory to feel comfortable...

Anyways, this little comment is - of course - in no way meant as criticism towards Skrommel, who makes a fantastic job with all these little amazing gadgets!  After all, we are working with a 'simple' scripting tool that probably isn't that focused on optimization in the first place.  Or is it?

Many thanks to Skrommel for his work and inspiration to fiddle around with this myself!

Hey!

On my Win2000, the tray icon flickers irregularly.  Maybe because it is an old PIII 700MHz office machine..?  :-\

Anyways, I made some modifications to stop this:

;somewhere in the beginning, where other variables are initialized
currentIcon := 0

;in the CHECKMUTE-routine
If mute=On
{
  If currentIcon <> 5
  {
    Menu,Tray,Icon,IdleMute.exe,5,5
    currentIcon := 5
  } 
  Menu,Tray,Check,&Mute
}
Else
{
  If (active="1" And enabled="1" And running="0")
  {
    If currentIcon <> 3
    {
      Menu,Tray,Icon,IdleMute.exe,3,3
      currentIcon := 3
    }
  }
  Else
  {
    If currentIcon <> 4
    {
      Menu,Tray,Icon,IdleMute.exe,4,4
      currentIcon := 4
    }
  } 
  Menu,Tray,UnCheck,&Mute
}

This only replaces the icon when it actually changes, eliminating the flickering.

Maybe this is completelly unnecessary on all the Tera-Hz super mega machines out there, but it works for me... :)
