Finished Programs / Re: DONE: Change (sub) folder(s) date based on newest/oldest file in the folder

« on: February 14, 2014, 12:32 AM »

Thanks for all.
I feel verrry sorry to say, but I am a bit lost now...
Got a bit confused.

1. I have installed DO v11b7 x64

2. This is in my F:\Directory Opus folder:
=

=

3. I have deleted the toolbar-button

4. Ini-file reads
[General]
Recurse=True
Age=1
DateLimit=False
IncFolders=True
FileDate=0
[Folder]
Modified=True
Created=False
Accessed=False

5.SetFolDate.exe is v0.3.1.4 (latest version)

==

Now, from here, so, more or less from scratch, what do I need to do ?

Thanks again!

p.s. I know about the regexr and all, but find-replace are limited to filenames only.
I have not found any tools that can modify folderdates based on dates in the foldernames.

Sorry - I can't get it working.
Feel sad to say that.... 

If the script is for a button, in Opus v10.x I need to add:
Rename PATTERN="*" TO="*"

as first line.
So:
Rename PATTERN="*" TO="*"
@script vbscript
Option Explicit
..etc.

Without that 1st line, I get an error.

In the Rename panel nothing happens.

Regretfully, sofar I have not found any tool (renamers or attribute/date time tools), regex or whatever
that changes the modified date of a  folder  based on a date in the foldername.

By the way, do you know a way to batch update folderdates based on a date in the foldername?
Like:
FolderNameXYZ 10-02-2014         with folder modified date 01-12-2013

then folder modified date to be updated to 10-02-2014

This is a regular thing, sofar I always updated it manually using an attribute changer.
(requires a number of clicks and is one by one)

In the above ( TO \1\\\0 )   the  '\0'  is the foldername.
can this be used as a variable?
 I don't know... 

together with set fn and select $fn , like in

Up front: sorry for the delay. Watching Olympics yesterday  

Currently I am still with the latest v10 of Opus, waiting for the release candidate or final, which will come soon I guess.

I have a number of items in my context menu, creating a Filenamed folder to copy or to move to.

For files with
date-time
seq.nbr-date-time
date  only
seq.nbr-date

above files are often a number screenshots, e.g. of program settings, or actions, etc.

and for files without date


=

The regex things, they work fine.

SetFolDate works fine with the existing regex.

I tried with the other options, non-regex, but it did not work out there.

=
http://s528.photobuc...zpsbebae824.mp4.html

1st regex: Create Filenamed Folder to MOVE to... (Date+Time)

Select ALLDIRS
"F:\Directory Opus\SetFolDateFM.exe" /r {ss} {allfile}

2nd regex: Create Filenamed Folder to MOVE to... (##-Date+Time)
Rename REGEXP PATTERN "(.+)(-|\s)(\d{2}|\d{3})(-|\s)(\d{6}|\d{8}|\d{2}-\d{2}-\d{4})(-|\s)(\d{6})\.(.+)" TO \1\\\0
Select ALLDIRS
"F:\Directory Opus\SetFolDateFM.exe" /r {ss} {allfile}

3rd regex: Create Filenamed Folder to MOVE to... (Date Only)
Rename REGEXP PATTERN "(.+)(-|\s)(\d{6}|\d{8}|\d{2}-\d{2}-\d{4})\.(.+)" TO \1\\\0
Select ALLDIRS
"F:\Directory Opus\SetFolDateFM.exe" /r {ss} {allfile}

4th regex: Create Filenamed Folder to MOVE to... (##-Date Only)
Rename REGEXP PATTERN "(.+)(-|\s)(\d{2}|\d{3})(-|\s)(\d{6}|\d{8}|\d{2}-\d{2}-\d{4})\.(.+)" TO \1\\\0

the
           Select ALLDIRS
           "F:\Directory Opus\SetFolDateFM.exe" /r {ss} {allfile}

does not work here...

I have not yet testen your vbscript..  cause I am not sure..
Do you suggest I create this in the rename panel?
Actually I donot want to have too many buttons, reason why it is in the context menu with me.
Personally I think context menu items are much 'easier to work with' than buttons.

Anyway..

thanks for yr help!

Oh, by the way ... it is perfect for me now (Opus)

where needed I added:

---
Select ALLDIRS
"F:\Directory Opus\SetFolDateFM.exe" /r {ss} {allfile}
---

Without using this, i.e. whilst using SetFolDate in the 'normal' (conventional, non context menu way), it works fine as well.


Have not tested it with Total Commander (donot have that) and also I have not tested it with explorer.
Assume it will work fine with those as well.

Sel alldirs got me an error, unrecognized command or something.
the /p source thing, well, i just got that from that forumpost as apparently it could be used as a parameter or so.
there is a difference though between using it and nót using it.

Q: when will images be displayed in the preview?

Thing is, if one is uploading a few images with about the same name e.g. screenshots of steps taken
say:
step1
step2
step3
step4

one might forget how step4 looks like (except for using an imageviewer, of course)




maybe also add a kind of remove button?



Keep up the good work!

Hello again,
I am not sure how to set a variable, but have spent quite some time on searching on Opus support site.
Up front: I have _no_ knowledge of the DOpus programming stuff!  I always try this, try that, try so-and-so, which is costing a lot of time.
Then again... frankly speaking, if, for me, it would not sense spending much time on trying to familiarize myself with DOpus programming:
except for the few tweaks here and there, I use it pretty much in default settings.

Anyway, somewhere in some forum thread I found  ' /p {sourcepath}  '
http://resource.dopu...iewtopic.php?p=43750

and added that to the setfoldatefm.exe line, so it now reads:

//
Rename REGEXP PATTERN "(.+)(-|\s)(\d{6}|\d{8}|\d{2}-\d{2}-\d{4})(-|\s)(\d{6})\.(.+)" TO \1\\\0
"F:\Directory Opus\SetFolDateFM.exe" /r {ss} {allfile} /p {sourcepath}
//

Can this be avoided?

No problem  of course

Thanks for the work.
Solution is indeed very close. I need to select the folder and click on the button.

Tried to do the same without a toolbar button, but adding: "F:\Directory Opus\SetFolDateFM.exe" /r {ss} {allfile}
to the existing move to folder context menu.

=


=

But that did not work out properly, regretfully so.

The newly created folder is nog selected, maybe that cannot be changed... and is normal behaviour.
When I select the folder, SetFolDate window, of course, disappears and should be brought up again from the taskbar.

The 'select folder' + 'adjust timestamp' should be skipped and should be done automatically.

Again.. maybe I asking something that is impossible. Really don't know.
The button works fine though.

THanks

No, I did not say that...  don't get me wrong.
The interface is fine.

What I did ask is if it possible for specific tasks to run it 'silently' (without interface) in combination with the regex.
For all other tasks and users the interface should definitely remain in place.

If not, forget it, I will use the interface, just like I do now.

« on: February 05, 2014, 07:25 AM »

Hello again,
The below steps I am doing -very..- often.

In Directory Opus I have a number of items in the context menu (right window pane), that saves files to folders named of the filename.

e.g. I have files like.:
this is file1.txt
this is file2-01-01012014.txt
this is file3-01012014 12:34:56.txt

in the context menu of Opus I have a few commands that will save the files to new folders like:
folder this is my file1
folder this is my file2
folder this is my file3

2nd step is that I use setfoldate to change the dates of the newly created folders to set to newest filedate/

A bit this way

=

=

To move files to a folder I use various regex

e.g.
Create Filenamed Folder to MOVE to... (Date+Time)
Rename REGEXP PATTERN "(.+)(-|\s)(\d{6}|\d{8}|\d{2}-\d{2}-\d{4})(-|\s)(\d{6})\.(.+)" TO \1\\\0

Sofar, everything okay.

I doNOT know if the below is possible(!)...

I would like to have the rename syntax (see above) to also include a way that setfoldate is executed default newest file recursive
so I donot need to do the 2nd step.
i.e. when I do a move to folder named after filename, then the folderdate is automatically adjusted.

Is this possible?

« on: January 14, 2014, 03:26 AM »

This proves what I am trying to say.
When selecting 'All' (top level) copying is slow and CHS skips things.
Then go to 'New' (select New in the tree), copying is fast, nothing is skipped.

Maybe a workaround could be: CHS to startup selecting 'New' by default, i.e. startup folder='New'
Currently 'All' is selected.


Of course, that is not an answer as to why CHS skips copying, because too slow, in case 'All' or 'Old' is selected.

Try this:

2. Go back to 'All' then select 'New'
any delays?

3. Go back to 'All' and copy text
how fast ?
4. Go to 'New' and copy text
how fast?

when I select subfolder 'New' then it is much faster.

Yes, it is a problem, i.e. you can only delete after posting - otherwise it's start again in a fresh page :-(
I was thinking of starting a thread asking for a couple of minor improvments in forum software - I know there was talk about changing the whole thing, so not sure if there's incentive to improve current forum soft.

-tomos (January 12, 2014, 11:50 AM)

Maybe another small improvement _could_ be the notification system:
If you reply on a thread that I am following, I will be notified.
Any other additional comments from others: I donot get notified.
Example: I got a notification of this posting.
But no notification of the reply from mouser, nor from your (last) reply.

later, oh .. and add other video formats to be allowed to be upload.

Back to CHS - I did not understand your previous post. Thanks for clarifying: "not sorted" - more :-(

I have 30,000 items in Old'.
I have about 150 items in 'New'.
As it is now working well here, it seems clear that the problem (again here) was with too many items in the 'New' section.

You have almost 600 items in 'New'.

• First question is: *why* do you want to keep them in new/ not move them to old? (Related question for mouser below.)
• Second question is why not try it with less than 200 in 'New' and see if it works?

Query for mouser: is there an advantage to keeping an item longer in the 'New' folder?

-tomos (January 12, 2014, 11:50 AM)

Frankly, I don't know if this is the cause of the problem. Thing is, if I take captures quickly, then CHS is unable to follow and starts skipping. Maybe it is something between Windows clipboard and CHS and something to do with buffers, I don't know  
Some years ago, I had a tool (written in Visual Basic) and in case of large volumes of renaming files, it sometimes used a lot of CPU sources and crashed in the end.
After some communication with the developer he increased some 'buffers' somewhere and it worked fine ever since.
I don't say it is the same, I don't have any knowledge of programming whatsoever,but as CHS is taking (too) much CPU resources and skipping things, I was thinking of the buffer-thing from the past.

Anyway.. it is upto Mouser

@tomos
Just for good order's sake: no, I think it is not sorted out.
The thing is, I only launched a completely 'fresh' just unzipped portable CHS and used that to create some clips.
(the CHS I normally used was not running)
With this 'fresh' new version, everything is running fine.
But then again, what about my old database ..

Anyway, likely it has something to do with the database  (?)

As for attaching files. Thanks for the screenshot. Seems only possible when modifying a  post that was already sent(?)

I did not test it, but what would happen if:
- I create a post
- attached a few files
- then decide nót to use them
a. how then to remove them?
b. if I doNOT use the 'link inline image' drop down, at the top, but send the post anyway (see attachment)
can these attachments be opened?
again: I  did *not* test it/give it a try  :-)

Exited existing CHS (portable)

Extracted/launched latest (nov.) version (portable)
Everything fine, captures all within a second.
Also, nothing 'skipped' when fast capturing one immediately after the other.

Bottomline, I guess, database got too big.
Donot want to loose old clips. Exporting database .csv is no option (sorry)
Exporting clipcontents separate .txt files, I think it still seems to be in the pipeline.

see earlier posts:
- Database size
- Export to single .txt files (adding date-time)


oh, btw:
new 593 clips
old 10570 clips
