Post New Requests Here / Re: IDEA: Create a containing folder by right clicking on a file

« on: July 31, 2007, 02:45 AM »

I'm glad to see my little thingie does the job

Should I wait to see if Andy's context info can be implemented into FileNanny?

-clif_notes (July 30, 2007, 10:46 PM)

Andy's information is very interesting. Knowing this, it should be easy to add a config GUI to add/remove the context menu entry. I don't know when i'll have the time to work on it because right now i'm in holiday AND i have work to do (tell me about working at home and freedom ) I think i'll have some time on friday so maybe we should consider that FileNanny is now 1.0 and will be 1.1 on friday

Here it is : FileNanny

[Select]

;; FileNanny
;; "Go to your room !"
;; by ak
Loop, %0% {
param := %A_Index%
SplitPath param, fileName, dirName
StringSplit rawName, fileName, "."
dirToCreate = %dirName%\%rawName1%
FileCreateDir %dirToCreate%
FileMove %param%, %dirToCreate%
}

Actually, a nice solution is to put a shortcut to fileNanny.exe in the sendTo folder. It works with multiple files.

I quickly created an icon because i don't like software (even crappy little stuff like that) without icon, but i'm not sure the picture is very obvious (i hate using the mouse).

It's a solution, but then the user has to install Fast Explorer, use it to create the correct context menu entry etc.

Anyway, i'll try to work it out until someone comes with a better solution (a single program).

It would be quite easy to make an AHK script that takes the file's name and folder, create a folder with the same name and move the file to this folder. The only "problem" would be to add the context menu item. I use fast explorer for this kind of stuff (until ContextMenu Commander is released ), for example i have a "ftp" sub-menu with several ftp locations i often use.

So if i had to face this kind of situation, i'd use ahk+fast explorer but i guess it's not user-friendly.

I really agree with nitrix, we should be able to select indexing (or not) for each alias individually. For example, i wouldn't use indexing to search start menu, but i definitely would to browse my mp3 collection.

Problem :

I'm using nitrix's alias to browse my music collection :


I decide i want to launch the second item, so i hit 2 on the numpad and then :


So jpgaiva's answer is : you can't use numpad with aliases because of fcalc. If that's the reason, i'm wondering if it could be set as an option, because i don't use fcalc but use the numpad a lot.

Hope it's clearer now

Yeah, Abterix is right, there's no code to send the variable in your script, so it's pretty normal it doesn't work

Abterix's code should work to test the script, then if it displays the variable correctly, replace the MsgBox line with :

[Select]

Send %v12%

Thanks for your answer. I also thought it could be an configuration problem, so i checked the options and didn't find anything. Actually i use numpad all the time with farr, the problem only occurs with this alias. Weird... Mouser, any idea maybe ?

Thanks nitrix, it works ! However, i have a little problem : i can't use numpad to launch a result. When i press a numpad key it adds the number to the search instead of launching the corresponding item. How come ?

Sorry i can't help you with that, i'd just like to know if you could share these aliases and stuff because i'm looking for a way to browse my mp3 collection just like you do. Besides, it would help to understand how aliases work because i can't find any valuable instructions (maybe i didn't search very well).

Great plugin, i'm trying it right now...

indexing, which will let farr be able to search through mp3 tag information, is coming, and will be a combination of built-in code for maintaining indices, and plugins to let other programs add meta information.

Maybe this idea is crazy, not faisable or simply plain stupid, but here it is. For a few days now, i've been using farr to search my mp3 library from time to time, and find it quite convenient. Maybe there would be a way to make farr some kind of mp3 manager. Mouser mentionned the upcoming database option, which could be an improvement for mp3 handling, considering the amount of files. But then i thought, it would be awesome to find a way to store id3 in a database and have farr search it. This way we could use lightweight players (like xmplay) and still have quick access to mp3. No more memory-eating programs like iTunes etc.

Maybe that's an idiotic thought, i dunno...

You could use something like Fast Explorer to edit context menu. It works fine for me.

Or you can wait for Mouser's "Context menu commander"

Really, i cannot understand why the Christ Redeemer from Brazil was elected. There's nothing great about it (especially compares to the other stuff).

Also, i love Easter Islands statues, it's a shame they're note selected

According to my poor AHK knowledge, i think it should be easily done with it. I can't give it a try right now cause i'm off to bed but i bet there are ahk experts here who will be able to do this in 5 minutes

Yes it does.

Very nice post BrokenNails

I used to use dbPowerAmp all the time too, but i've been disapointed with the latest version so i looked for an alternative and found Switch. Convert anything to anything very simply, i like it and it's free. The "plus" version offers a command-line ability that should very interesting with Drag n Drop Robot.

Also, i was looking for a nice alternative to Winamp and discovered XMPlay (thanks to *i don't remember who* on this forum) and i love it. You should try it.
