Post New Requests Here / IDEA: Copy Files in Defined Order
« on: November 04, 2009, 10:56 AM »
Here is the deal;

I have a cheap but wonderful MP3 player. The device will play the MP3s in the order they were copied onto it. This is great because I only use it to listen to podcasts. I am able to add files to listen to before I am finished with the others and it will play it in the order it was copied to the unit. The unit looks like a USB drive to the computer.

My dilemma;

I download a list of daily podcasts usually weekly. I then copy them onto the player in the order they were recorded. I use Terracopy to copy the files to the player but when files are added to it, they are not in sequential order. Terracopy does not allow you to alter the position of the files once they are added to the program so I have to drag the files one at a time to the program in the order I want them copied.

Is there a program that I can drop my files into, sort them the way I want, and then copy them in the order to my player? Maybe an AHK script?

Thanks!

Post New Requests Here / IDEA: Sort and group directories by pre-defined sizes
« on: September 23, 2009, 03:16 PM »
I am looking for a program that can sort and group sub-directories into pre-defined sizes.
This is like the FILLCD type of program “but” to work only on sub-directories.

Example:

Directory Pics has sub-directories 1, 2, 3,……10

I need them sorted into directories of no larger than 4.5 GB.

The program then outputs;

Directory Pics with sub-directory A with sub-directories 1, 2, 3, sub-directory B with sub-directories 4, 6, 9 and sub-directory C with sub-directories 5, 7, 8, 10.

I have had a lot of friends lately needing Hard Drive recoveries with a lot of pictures in sub-directories . If the pics are not in the same directories or spanned across disks, they start to panic and want to know where the pics went. By keeping the directories together with maximum efficiency for storage size, my friends are not frustrated in trying to find their pics and info.

Thanks

Why you ask. Good question.

I do a lot of audio and video editing. There are a lot of third party hardware/software add-ons to control the software. Most are a group of buttons/wheels that connect via USB and then you set up macros to control the buttons/wheels.

Well why not use that extra/broken mouse? The only problem is that Windows will recognize the mouse but it is used just like the mouse that is already connected.

I have found a few programs on the net that allow two mice and two cursors. These programs will not allow you to program the buttons on the second mouse for a different purpose than what the first mouse buttons are used for.

Soooooo....there you have it.

Thanks,
Larry

Post New Requests Here / IDEA: Sort files and then move to new directories
« on: January 07, 2009, 11:44 AM »
I have an abundance of files that have the same prefix ie 123.xx1, 123.xx2, 456.xx1, 456.xx2 ect that need to be sorted and then placed into a directory with the name of the prefix ie c:\123, c:\456.

I only need to define the location of the resulting directory that the files will be placed.

A batch file or AHK program would be fine with me.

Thanks as always! :)

Post New Requests Here / IDEA: Download only new Podcasts from website
« on: December 19, 2008, 10:40 AM »
There are several podcasts that I listen to. I go to their website or archive page to get the latest offerings.
On the pages are several links to the podcasts available. I would like a program that will compare the files that I have
in a folder with the ones on the website and download only the ones that I have not downloaded.

I have tried numerous add on programs to Firefox but have not had any luck in being able to single out only the newest files.

An example of a podcast page I go to regularly is Buzz-Out-Loud tech podcast found at http://www.cnet.com/8300-11455_1-10.html

They do daily shows so there is a new podcast every day.

Thanks as always!
