Finished Programs / Re: DONE: Basic Pop-Up Notice/Reminder Window
« Last post by nkormanik on June 03, 2016, 02:51 AM »
Chris, would it be possible to show the current time -- that is, when MessagePop executes?  Just the static time is all.  No dynamic updating to the real current time.

Exactly as you show the current date, in your example file.

For instance:  User is running a long statistical analysis in a math program, and ends the series of statistics steps by having a batch file run which calls MessagePop.  He/she knows when the stats program started -- let's say, noon.  He/she goes away, comes back around 4pm, sees MessagePop display the time 1:30pm.  That was the very end of the stats analysis, when batch file calling MessagePop fired up.  Thus he/she knows that the entire stats analysis took one-and-a-half hours -- from noon to 1:30pm.

The new countdown timer is pretty cool, too.  Not what I was asking for, though.

Here, by the way, is the C# code someone else did to solve the issue.  Author gave permission to post.:

Code: C# [Select]
  1. using System;
  2. using System.IO;
  3. using System.Linq;
  4.  
  5. namespace FileOrganizer
  6. {
  7.     class Program
  8.     {
  9.         static void Main(string[] args)
  10.         {
  11.             // Options
  12.             var filePattern = "*.url";
  13.             var filesPerFolder = 10;
  14.  
  15.  
  16.  
  17.  
  18.  
  19.             var currentDir = new DirectoryInfo(Environment.CurrentDirectory);
  20.  
  21.             var files = currentDir.GetFiles(filePattern, SearchOption.AllDirectories);
  22.  
  23.             var sortedFiles = files.OrderBy(x => x.Length).ToList();
  24.  
  25.             for (var i=0; i < sortedFiles.Count; i++)
  26.             {
  27.                 var sourceFilePath = sortedFiles[i].FullName;
  28.                 var targetFolderName = (i / filesPerFolder).ToString("X8");
  29.                 var targetFolderPath = Path.Combine(Environment.CurrentDirectory, targetFolderName);
  30.                 var targetFilePath = Path.Combine(targetFolderPath, sortedFiles[i].Name);
  31.  
  32.                 if (i % filesPerFolder == 0)
  33.                 {
  34.                     Directory.CreateDirectory(targetFolderPath);
  35.                 }
  36.  
  37.                 File.Move(sourceFilePath, targetFilePath);
  38.             }
  39.         }
  40.     }
  41. }

Chris, is there a code I can include in the .ini file that would show the current time (that is, when MessagePop executes.  not dynamically updating to current time.)

Really appreciate your work.  Thanks so much!

Thanks Lintalist, a lot of work you put in there.  Seems to do the job as advertised.

Skwire, unless you or someone else wants to add anything, this one looks solved.

Skwire, if you want to make it.  Surprisingly dividing a sorted collection into sets, say, by size, is lacking presently.  Go figure.  I'd think there would be a desire to have such functionality.

There IS the ability to separate based on other criteria, such as extension.  I think you yourself made such a program already.

Excellent suggestions all.  Thank you!

Though I will definitely keep your code and try it out, the solution I did the little task with was a Firefox extensions called Shelve:

That did the trick.

Thanks again!

Thanks to both of you!  I'll look into the program mentioned.  Always good to have another tool handy.  Skwire, if you do have the chance and inclination, go for it.

A friend of mind wrote some C-sharp code that does the job, too, more or less as requested.  But one must edit the code a tiny bit, and then compile.  Not sure if I should somehow post his code, or what.

Post New Requests Here / Transform list of url links to copies of the actual web pages
« Last post by nkormanik on March 17, 2016, 12:45 AM »
Folder A contains one simple text file with 10 website urls: Sites.txt

Have web browser (any) visit the 10 sites, and save the corresponding 'page' of each visited site to a separate file.

At the end of the process..., Folder B will contain the 10 files, 'xyz_01.html' ... 'xyz_10.html', from the list in Folder A.

Any thoughts and help greatly appreciated.

I seem to recall a program for what I'm asking.  If you know of one, please mention it.  Any and all thoughts appreciated.

I have 600,000 midi files, in a single folder.  I'd like to move/organize into folders.  100 midi files per new folder.  Sorted by size of files.

So, the smallest 100 midi files will go into, say, folder 0001.

Second 100 smallest midi files will go into folder 0002.

Etc.

Will need to create all the required folders.

Assume same drive for all actions.

Prefer to leave original filenames, though adding a prefix (suffix?) would be okay.  That's actually how I'll handle this little chore if I have to on my own.

Solution should be able to handle any sort of file, so others out there can find this topic and use solution for their own interests.

Thanks much!

Skrommel's Software / MoveOut: Please allow "Recursive" option
« Last post by nkormanik on March 12, 2015, 01:09 AM »
Suppose c:\downloads\ contains some downloaded zips, with some pdf files in them.  I unarchive these zip files, and now have folders (let's say xyz1, xyz2, etc).

I would like MoveOut to go recursively into all the subfolders it finds in c:\downloads\, and if/when it finds pdf files, to move those pdf files over to c:\library\pdf\.

What do you say?

Thanks!

make 100% sure that your files are tagged properly
-skwire (February 13, 2015, 01:27 PM)

Anyone have a suggestion on a program which automatically tags mp3 files -- by downloading any needed info from the Internet?

Manually tagging a huge collection of tunes would be nearly impossible.

Thanks!

Move a number of files (let's suppose pdfs) from Folder A, to Folder B.

Create in Folder A corresponding shortcuts to each moved file, now in Folder B.

Any suggestions?

Assume that Folder B already has lots of files, and the ones you are moving over will get mixed with the rest there -- not a simple matter of moving to an empty folder.

Thanks!

General Software Discussion / Re: RightNote Revisited / Review (in lieu of a RN forum)
« Last post by nkormanik on January 22, 2015, 01:28 AM »
Question:  I'm really curious why RightNote is free.

One generally thinks, "free", must not be so good.

However, RightNote seems to be a great outlining program.

Yes, there are the two charged-for versions, standard and pro.  But the free version is super as is.

Please explain.

Thanks,

Post New Requests Here / Two-monitors, open full-screen on SECOND monitor, NOT FIRST
« Last post by nkormanik on January 20, 2015, 04:16 AM »
Just a quick question, not really a request for a program -- that is, unless you think that's possible....

Setup is laptop + TV via HDMI cable.  My preferred image viewer program is ACDSee.  I can get the ACDSee program to appear on the TV.  But when I double-click on an image to make it full-screen on the TV, the full-screen happens on the laptop.

I really need for full-screen of the image to appear on the TV.

Really frustrating.

Any thoughts appreciated.

4wd is indeed correct.  Just by turning off the "Show all Commands in SubMenu" under the Options menu, "Move to..." now appears directly in the right-click context menu, exactly as I was wanting.

Many thanks, 4wd.

Hope others might possibly find this discussion useful.  I sure have.

Skwire, another one done.

Moo0 RightClicker Pro is similar to FileMenu Tools, but pay-ware.  FileMenu Tools is donation-ware.

A fourth point:

4)  If someone can code "MoveStuff.reg" it would be interesting to study that code, and see how it can be done.

FileMenu Tools is super.  I'm using it, in fact.  And the "Move to..." does in fact work.

Three points:

1)  What I ask for above would be one less step in the 'move stuff' process.

2)  For some bizarre reason FileMenu Tools pops up in the context menu in all sorts of seemingly random places.  In a long context menu (thanks to myriad goofball extra context menu entries, probably) it takes time to hunt through and find "FileMenu Tools."  What I've requested would hopefully appear consistently toward the very top of the context menu list -- I believe there is a way of designating that to be so.

3)  I'll bet a lot of other people would like the direct 'move stuff' route I suggest, as opposed to loading and configuring FileMenu Tools.


Short of what I specifically am requesting, FileMenu Tools appears to be the best bet, however.

All appreciated advice, Iain.  What would be involved in meeting my specific request would be a registry entry, a somewhat complicated one.

Coded and saved to file: MoveStuff.reg

One double-clicks on that file, and..., presto, from then on the context menu will contain "Move to..." after selecting various items, and a set of sub-menu folders to choose from.

MoveStuff.reg would have to be open to editing, so that people could put in their own folders, and change around as needed over time.

In order to write such a file a 'programmer' would have to have some intimate knowledge writing registry entries.

« Last post by nkormanik on October 24, 2014, 03:40 AM »
For XP there was such a free program, called FolderTargets.  Unfortunately it does not work at all in Windows 8.1.

I can't find any program out there that can replace it.

Idea is to select some items, folders or files.  Right-click on them.  In context menu there will be an item:  Move to...

Putting the mouse pointer on that ("Move to..."), a sub-menu will come up, listing various pre-defined 'targets' to move the selected items to.

Click on one of those, and the selected items will head to the proper folder.  Lickety split.

Example:

Move to...
     Books
     Music
     Video

Furthermore, if possible, the "Move to..." should be placed at the TOP of the context menu list that pops up, or close to the top.  (Less searching for it among the other riff-raff.)

The key is to have the sub-menu with the specific target folders.  It's a pain searching for these if they are not right at hand in such a sub-menu.

Any suggestions greatly appreciated.
