I coupled that with an autorun.inf file and its on both camera cards

-wreckedcarzz (July 02, 2009, 07:09 PM)

watch out, cos there's currently no way of exiting the script if you don't want to run it.

to 'fix' this add the lines

if errorlevel
    exitapp

immediately after the fileselectfolder line (script will quit if the users cancels the dialog box)

more choices than you can poke a stick at

PicPark1 is intended to be run at startup - it scans for removable drives on a 2 second loop, and when one is found, scans for eligible image files and moves them to the destination folder (stored in the ini file).

PicPark2 is intended to be run once - insert your card/key/whatever and run the script.  It will scan for eligible image files and move them to the destination folder (stored in the ini file).

PicPark3 is intended to be run from the device itself.  User will be prompted for a destination directory (no ini file for this one).  Could be autorun on cards insertion

for 1 + 2 users will be prompted for the destination folder on the first run to create the ini file.  Any subsequent changes will need to be done by hand

if you want the opportunity to view the images before moving or copying you might look at this thread - https://www.donationcoder.com/forum/index.php?topic=15218.0

thanks for the tip, but both the mentioned apps look (to me) like network hardware monitoring/management tools rather than traffic meters

what he's looking for (in his words) -

What I was trying to identify was what was actually chewing up my downloads when I didn't have any torrents queued to download. It may be torrent handling for uploading or something else but I can't tell as nothing seems to track the data going through the firewall and relates it back to the function generating the traffic

General Software Discussion / network activity monitor wanted

« Last post by Target on July 01, 2009, 07:50 PM »

a friend of mine (a serial downloader) is looking for a tool that will 'log' his net traffic, ie which app's are generating traffic, and how much (up and down)

Personally I have no use for anything like this so I'm of limited assistance. 

That said, we've tried several network 'meters', but none of them show traffic by application (only as a cumulative figure).

any suggestions?

General Software Discussion / Re: ms word question - how to align already type decimal numbers

« Last post by Target on July 01, 2009, 05:34 PM »

to align existing text you have to set a manual tab stop

select the text (block), then toggle through the tab types till you get the decimal (click the tab stop icon in the top left of the ruler), and finally click in the ruler where you want the tab set.

note that you will need to also manually add tabs to replace any default/automagical ones in the text, ie unless you do this the one you just added becomes the FIRST tab which will likely play havoc with your layout

can't help you with the second part though (I've never used it  )
