Post New Requests Here / Re: Sort files

« on: November 19, 2018, 04:17 AM »

No, there you should enter destinations folder initial name, like "Anything", my app would add "Anything" to Destinations Rootpath with proper number added like "Anything_1" or "Anything_0001" i will fill it up with zeros to match created folder count.
If you need to tweak starting number, i can add that too.

Hello and welcome to DC!

I could do such i guess, i would need to know:
- Do you need a filemask? ( like *.* )
- Will this operation only be used on a local machine with local drives?
- Must files be sorted in any way? (it would copy by creationtime)
- Do you need a GUI with buttons for all or prefer a CLI like "splitfiles.exe 500 c:\source\ c:\destination\" ?
- Do i need to concern about UniCode Filenames (filenames with non-Latin characters like japanese or greece and similar)
- From point of my logic, no subfolder support should be included, is that correct with your request too?

As a sneak preview on how i understood that search and replace thing, feel free to check this out,

small teaser:


I had not much time to test so heres the basics on how i implemented it:
Do things like you should, drop files etc, checkbox files etc.
Now on Editors side, activate the search replace function like shown on above image.
All things that you checked will be included for search replace function.
This is absolutely alpha status, not optimized, if it is something like you wanted to have, tell me and i do optimize its working.
For now target files will be loaded twice, that would be optimized at first :-)


BTW Search Replace just work on Edit fields with text, when i take above image:
top first field "Target" down to "IconLocation" can be tuned that way.

Also, most respectfully, are you taking over this programming request from skwire?

I didnt knew that it was a request to Skwire. Forget about my releases, i be quit now.
I really did not want to cause any kind of trouble, i was just interested in topic and the "how-to" part.
So please excuse my intrusion into this matter.


Regards,

KodeZwerg.

[ Invalid Attachment ]O, Zen Master KodeZwerg, a thousand pardons please for not responding sooner!  I got completely carried away with other matters in life and failed to thank you promptly.  I do appreciate all the work you have done on this programming.  And I hope you are having FUN with this project.

I downloaded the latest version of Shortcut Tuner.  I then inserted a folder of URL shortcuts.  I have NOT yet tried any LNK files.  Some of these URL shortcuts had the Google icon but others did not. I wanted ALL of the URL shortcuts to have the Google icon. I checkmarked the IconLocation and IconIndex boxes and clicked "Apply to All".  I got an "Unspecified error" message.

So, I then checkmarked the URL shortcuts that did NOT have the Google icon and tried to "Apply to Selected".  I received the same "Unspecified error" message then as well.  Attached is a screenshot of the URL folder, the program UI, and the error message.  I hope you will explain to me what I am doing incorrectly.

Also, most respectfully, are you taking over this programming request from skwire?  And, is there any chance a search capability (for URL and LNK files) will be built into the program?

Thank you again.   [ Invalid Attachment ]

To your found bug: fixed Version can be downloaded by clicking on this link.
I am really sorry, since this is a one man project and betatesting also just me since no one is interested, when i build this app, it was for .LNK files only, later i quick added .URL support.
At that point i missed to include proper save function for different filetypes.
Actually it tried to open a .URL file as a .LNK file = your found error happen.
Best of all, fixed another bug too by inspecting save routines, the build you have would overwrite same file again and again instead of changing filename :-)

To Icons: I do admit, due the way windows works, sometimes on the filebox a wrong icon appear (a blank one)
This is a victim to my threading approach, i somehow cannot fix it back to first version where all looked good all the time.
Second, on Editors page the bigger Icon may also not display correct one, same error like above.
As soon as you click ".." and just click "Ok" you should see now whatever icon actually is used.
I am sorry for this steps, i will try to fix that too but having trouble with access right for my nested threads.

To Search Request: I could easily add. Lets wait for Skwire release if that a) works better for you and b) your feedback decides :-]

To how you tried: That is exact way to use it
small how to again:
 - first drop in something (folder / files) to play with
 - as soon as "loading Icons" appear in status bar you may start to set files checkbox
 - then select any file to be used as template
 - modify template to your needs
 - then set checkboxes for what to unify (in your case IconLocation and IconIndex)
 - then click on "apply to selected"
 - done.

Post New Requests Here / Re: Looking for a scrolling rich-text displayer to show an AUP

« on: November 15, 2018, 05:40 AM »

What to say. Its done :-]

Total simple made, looking like above heavy paneled version, about design we can discuss, no problem

I added a batch file to show you basics.

@ECHO OFF
ShowRTF.exe eula.rtf
echo %ERRORLEVEL%
rem there are 4 possible return codes
rem 0 = Cancel
rem 1 = Accept
rem 200 = File not found
rem 255 = no Filename specified

Okay, that i understood way better and i am on it.

@timmy2: Upload your EULA.rtf so i can better set default width/height for dialog-box to your needs.

Hello, i have absolute no idea what you want to have.
Can you append a sample file that you want to read?
A small window that can read RTF aint a problem.
But what should buttons OK and CANCEL do ?

Please explain a bit more and i am glad to help you too

First threaded version for your pleasure is here.



Added:
 - kung-fu skills

Removed:
 - lameness

You might notice on Screenshot that many options are gone now. Technical they are still avail, just set invisible.
You might ask why? I have so much trust in myself that the point of speed has no more bad effects.
That will currently result in this situation:
If Folders are dropped, all subfolders will be scanned too.
I would like to hear feedback on that decision I made.

Bugs/Limitations:
 - i need to lock save things, please wait until dropped files are fully loaded (as soon as statusbar tell something about adding icons....)
 - you cannot drop that fast anymore (i already try to dynamic thread this sucker)
 - some icons are wrong/blank, especially .url files show that behavior now, i am on it...

For interested how I now doing stuff:
 - Mainthread (GUI) will search for files on drop. This search aint threaded yet since without files no work is possible, i might change that...
 - When files are gathered a new thread populate found files in list
 - When list is filled a new thread will add icons to entries

I am proud to anounce my final non-threaded Version of this utility.

If you missed how it look, heres a teaser


I had a dream.... samurai skills and wisdom of zen combined with red bull, all that resulted in another performance boost.
You wonder hows that possible, i basically hacked myself into listview control to exclude and include icons in my own way during Window refresh :-]

This will result in a, how to say, gui will not look good for a few moments

For now, since no error reports arrived, this will be my last update before, if at all, i put all operations in own threads.


Enjoy,

KodeZwerg.

Post New Requests Here / Re: Request: Ahk script to extract archive to subfolder of current directory

« on: November 13, 2018, 01:00 PM »

@Scripters, why dont use List command to get archive content to compare? Just my Idea to Script stuff where i aint have any idea at all :-]
At least that way i would go if i write a batch file.

@chashnniel For Zip fileformat that is easy action to get content. But as said, i have no idea on how to get Archive filename.

There exists some multipurpose CLI dearchivers that can list content, as more archive formats needed as more my first of all zip only variant would fail :-)

« on: November 12, 2018, 03:34 PM »

Hm, though LogFusion looks like a fine log viewer, I'm afraid it doesn't handle the json-like format that is currently output by ProcessWatcher. We'll have to wait for mouser to choose another format before LogFusion is useful in this context.

-Ath (November 12, 2018, 02:01 PM)

Or put up a request to convert file. If you append me some small examples (before/after) i write one for you.
Until now i did not have time to test this application at all. LogFusion is also unknown to me.

Post New Requests Here / Re: Request: Ahk script to extract archive to subfolder of current directory

« on: November 12, 2018, 03:29 PM »

If a teamproject is possible, i could offer the part where files get extracted (zip) without need to decompress to temp folder.
I could integrate full zip function inside own app, so checking if there is a file in root of archive aint a pain to me.
I could do a CLI, like first parameter is zip filename and second root of destination folder.
The hotkey part, how to get archive filename, how decide destination name, there i am clueless.
Okay, as destination root i could easy extract archives path, but still no idea how to get a archive filename just by pressing some keys.

If such is helpful, let me know.

Next logical evolution is made. 64bit.

You will find it here.


Some tweaks to GUI added.
The box is now splitted into 3 arrays, first for checkbox/icon, second for filename and last for path.
It will always sort by path+filename.

Added:
 - button to copy Hint Text for Target is dynamic avail on left side
 - Hint Text for Target if it dont match my calculated one
 - checkbox to skip Icon loading during a drop, this will extreme speed up the box!
 - doubleclick inside box, no need to guess what it does. exact! it format drive.... erm.... Execute file :-]
 - faster file searching on folder drops

Fixed:
 - reduced internal memory usage by switch to other types; thus that, many many things recoded
 - filedetection improved
 - iconextraction improved

Bugs/Limitations:
 - Application should work great with .lnk files that contain either a Filename or a Pathname as Target
   other types still not supported
 - when you click too fast in box (not fast enough for a doubleclick but still fast) app might crash due pointers that aint exist.
   64bit is not that graciously like 32bit is.

Enjoy!

I hope you like it, some response at all would be nice.

don't get discouraged if a requester does not reply promptly.. there are 2 ways to think of this:
1. try to be like a zen samurai artist who creates things and does not care about whether they are used
2. or just wait patiently until eventually someone gives you thanks, even if it might be a year later

-mouser (November 10, 2018, 08:40 PM)

My zen spirit talked to me, thats why i release my latest build to open public :-)

With my samurai abilities I successful sliced some found bugs out.
 - big icon display bug (if pressed inside box on empty place, a folder icon was shown)
   now my dwarf icon will be used as standard.

Ninjas visited me and wanted that I add more tweaks. I submit and done :-]
 - missing actions for labels with checkboxes on left added
 - missing colors added to all controls

In dojo during a trance session my old master showed up and whispered in my ear, let people show how different Windows work.

If able, compare big icon with listviews small one.

To mouser and Skwire, I admit forgot to mentioned that i recoqnized your "Look good" words. So thankyou too.

If more interested could test and tell bugs, I guess I would not need to release that many builds.
To me it is just fun project, made as good as I could.
