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

General Software Discussion / Re: network activity monitor wanted

« Last post by Target on July 01, 2009, 08:14 PM »

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  )

LaunchBar Commander / Re: In Search of A Shutdown/Reboot/Hibernate App

« Last post by Target on June 24, 2009, 05:40 PM »

no credit due here, it's pretty much straight out of the AHK help file...

worth noting that windows (XP at least) already includes a command line to that handles shutting down (but not standby/hibernate - search HELP for shutdown). 

back when i wanted this functionality all the research seemd to indicate that the MS tool was a bit flakey, so I ended up using Andrej Budja's shutdown.exe (this app doesn't do standby or hibernate either).  The homepage for this app appears to be gone, but google turns up plenty of ref's to both the man and the app (posted here for convenience)

LaunchBar Commander / Re: In Search of A Shutdown/Reboot/Hibernate App

« Last post by Target on June 23, 2009, 10:38 PM »

don't know how this fits with Launchbar Commander, but you could try this little AHK script

[Select]

#singleinstance
;install, close.ico,close.ico

menu, tray, nostandard

menu, actions, add, LogOff
menu, actions, add, ShutDown
menu, actions, add, Restart
menu, actions, add, Hibernate
menu, actions, add, Suspend
Menu, actions,  show
return

Escape::exitapp

LogOff:
shutdown, 0
return

Shutdown:
shutdown, 9
return

restart:
shutdown, 2
return

Suspend:
DllCall("PowrProf\SetSuspendState", "int", 0, "int", 1, "int", 0)
return

Hibernate:
DllCall("PowrProf\SetSuspendState", "int", 1, "int", 0, "int", 0)
return

running the script generates a popup menu - select the option and you're done. 

If you've run the script in error, escape exits the app

tested OK on an XP SP2 (?) workstation

oh yeah, you need AHK to run the script (but not the exe)
