Thanks for the help.  I ran the program as administrator and it worked!  Very nice program.  Now I can have my screenshots of my builds from Minecraft on my screen.

Great to hear.  =]  I'm glad you find the program useful.  Enjoy your stay!

Hi, creaky, and welcome to the DonationCoder site.

It doesn't want to work on my system
-creaky (April 22, 2014, 11:13 AM)

Are you running the application from a folder that is UAC protected?  If so, try running it from a folder that is NOT UAC protected.

I don't have any other ideas.  Could be something else going on with your clipboard...or some other application messing with it.  Does restarting ClipTrap help?

For some weird reason when I copy something ClipTrap is pasting to itself multiple times.  Two or three times.
-nkormanik (April 21, 2014, 08:33 PM)

1) Are you using any sort of remote control software?  RDP, VNC, etc?
2) Do you have any other clipboard management program running?  CHS, ArsClip, etc?

And I wanted to ask cause I'm a total noob at those things if there is any possibility to harm my PC if i use this tool a lot, cause it changes (as i understand) the registry too often. Just to be sure :)
-Stef (April 21, 2014, 08:54 AM)

IMO, no, there is not.  The registry exists to store settings and information and is modified constantly throughout a PC's session.  A lot more than you might expect, in fact.  My application only changes the necessary setting, via a documented API call, that determines the desktop folder and then refreshes the system using another documented API call.

If anybody else feels differently, speak up.

What about assigning hotkeys to paths/menu items for quicker switching? Ctrl+Alt+F1, F2, etc.  Something like that?
-c.gingerich (April 19, 2014, 01:43 PM)

If this catches on, I'll almost certainly change the simple edit field to a listview with add/edit/delete buttons and allow hotkeys.

Cool.  Thanks for the report.  I just uploaded a new version that adds a new option to set the desktop icon view as shown here in this thread:

PS(although some shortcuts of the desktop remain on the desktop after i choose another folder from your app
-Stef (April 18, 2014, 10:19 PM)

Those are probably shortcuts from the "All Users" desktop.

This is very cool. What API are you using to refresh the desktop if you don't mind?
-c.gingerich (April 18, 2014, 06:55 PM)

SHSetFolderPath to change the path and SHChangeNotify to refresh the desktop.  If you tried it, did the app work for you?

Here's an alpha build:  DesktopFolderSwitcher.zip

Usage:

  • Right-click the tray icon and choose the "Edit desktop paths" entry to add your own folder paths.
  • One folder path per line.
  • Add a blank line to put a separator in the menu.
  • Click save and then right-click the menu again.
  • Your configured paths should now be in the menu.
  • Choose one to switch your desktop icons to the path selected.

Some notes:

  • Obviously, this is still mostly a proof-of-concept.  Stuff should work, mostly work, or not work at all.   :P
  • No validity checking of those folders paths is currently performed.  Make sure they're valid.
  • When the program is first run, it saves the current desktop path and adds that path at the top of the menu.  This way, you should be able to easily go back to your default desktop path at any time.
  • No icon position saving.  I'm really really NOT interested in adding this functionality.

Tested on W7/64.  If anybody tries this, please let me know how it works (or doesn't) for you.  Please include your OS as well.

So, I have a working script but there is at least one caveat to this desktop folder switching like you want and that is the icon positions are not saved when switching the desktop from folder to folder.  How important is this to you?

I have some working proof-of-concept code that can switch the desktop and doesn't require a logoff.  I need to play with it a bit more, though.  Stay tuned.

Also in Build 49 format S01E01 is still showing as s01e01
Several attempts to set it to S01E01 work until shutdown, then display resets to s01e01

Hi, mahanaim, and welcome to the DonationCoder site.   :)  As you can probably guess, with the way the Windows file system works, what you want is not an easy thing to do.  Typically, it's going to require a low-level file system driver and that's well outside of the realm of a simple AHK script.

Beta build #54:  http://skwire.dcmembers.com/apps/epcheck/epCheck_beta.zip

This is mainly a bugfix build.  The blank profile bug should be fixed.  Deleting a profile should now delete the appropriate series' data folders (if a series doesn't exist on another profile).  I also added text to the status bar that shows which profile is currently selected.  This can be helpful when adding series (so you know which profile you have selected).

First thought: Contro, you REALLY need to invest in a good third-party file manager instead of always trying to make Windows Explorer do things it wasn't really designed to do.

Second thought: It sounds like you want what is known as a "flat view."  In a Windows Explorer window, have you tried the following?:

  • Press F3.
  • Enter *.* in the search field.
  • Press Enter.

When deleting a profile it leaves a "blank profile" and in folder it leaves one .txt and one .bak file (0kb) . . .
-vamiz (April 11, 2014, 10:12 AM)

Yep, this one I was aware of and I will fix it.  Thanks for the report!  :up:
