General Software Discussion / Re: Configuring Directory Opus for Fun and Profit
« Last post by 4wd on February 07, 2014, 08:12 PM »
Just in case no one's noticed, DOpus 11 is available as a public beta, (and has been for a month or more).

Quite stable, haven't had it crash or cause any damage yet, (been using it since beta 3, I think).

Is there a translated version of their policies?

2014 version - PDF, still in French.


Confidentiality

Every document deposited on hubiC is replicated in 3 different OVH datacentres in France. Only you* will have access to your data, using your login and password.

Honestly, how is replicated data ensuring confidentiality?

If, as shown in your image, you only have the one folder left after the rename then you could try adding:

Select ALLDIRS

before the SetFolDate command to select the folder, (well, all folders really).

Ideally, you'd set a variable to the folder you want to create and then use it as an argument to both the Rename and SetFolDate commands.

v0.3.1.3 - Added: Can run in no GUI mode using last saved options.

Here's an example UserCommand for DOpus:

Code: Text [Select]
  1. <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
  2. <usercommand backcol="none" hide_from_menu="no" textcol="none">
  3.         <label>Adjust_Timestamp_NG</label>
  4.         <user_label>Adjust_Timestamp_NG</user_label>
  5.         <icon1>#usercommand</icon1>
  6.         <function type="normal">
  7.                 <instruction>@dirsonly</instruction>
  8.                 <instruction>Go {ss}</instruction>
  9.                 <instruction>&quot;C:\SetFolDate2\SetFolDateFM.exe&quot; /r {ss} {allfile}</instruction>
  10.         </function>
  11. </usercommand>

@dcwul62 - in case it wasn't obvious, my remark about the GUI was the usual dry Aussie humour coming out  ;)

Albeit with a rather obvious grammatical screw-up  :-\

« Last post by 4wd on February 06, 2014, 09:10 PM »
I honestly despair at moments like this.

1) Read a URL from the text file
2) Execute Firefox, (or Chrome), with it as an argument.
3) Go to step 1

Exactly how is this any different from what you are doing for IE?

ie. Replace this:

Code: Autohotkey [Select]
  1. if (A_index = 1)
  2.   wb.Navigate2(URL . A_LoopReadLine, navOpenNewForegroundTab) ; Navigate
  3. else
  4.   wb.Navigate2(URL . A_LoopReadLine, navOpenInBackgroundTab) ; Navigate

with this:

Code: Autohotkey [Select]
  1. Run, Firefox.exe -new-tab A_LoopReadLine, C:\Program Files\Mozilla\Firefox

NOTE: Because I don't use AHK, YOU may have to tweak that line.

I don't use AHK
Code: Autohotkey [Select]
  1. #NoEnv  ; Recommended for performance and compatibility with future AutoHotkey releases.
  2. #Warn  ; Recommended for catching common errors.pongo ; inicial por error al compilar sobre esta línea.
  3. SendMode Input  ; Recommended for new scripts due to its superior speed and reliability.
  4. SetWorkingDir %A_ScriptDir%  ; Ensures a consistent starting directory.
  5.      
  6. FileSelectFile, filepath
  7. loop, Read, %filepath%
  8. {
  9. Run, Firefox.exe -new-tab A_LoopReadLine, C:\Program Files\Mozilla\Firefox
  10. sleep 100
  11. }
  12. return

Your original question was that you wanted to open a list of URLs in Firefox, have you tried it?

firefox.exe -new-tab URL1
firefox.exe -new-tab URL2
etc
etc
etc

Do you want to open a list of URLs as per your original question or do something completely different?

You're opening a set of URLs, there's no need to automate Firefox - just call Firefox with the URL as an argument, (Firefox' commandline args).

Code: AutoIt [Select]
  1. Run(@comspec & ' /c path\to\firefox.exe "www.thisisatest.org"', '.', @SW_HIDE)

You can probably call Chrome the same way.

but autotab, you can not control the time for individual screens, some need longer times.
-chris051873 (February 01, 2014, 10:15 PM)

Opening a set of files with their default program is easy, (you just tell the system to open the file), cycling between them is easy, (switch between visible windows), even having different times for each file isn't too hard - the problem I see is if you have multiple files of the same type.

eg. .xls - these will normally open as tabs within the Excel program, (IIRC).  So not only do you have to switch to Excel, you then have to find the correct tab and switch to it - and there's no guarantee that the method of switching to a particular tab is consistent across programs.

You may be able to force each default program to open each file in a new window, however this requires being able to pass a parameter to the program to tell it to do it, (possibly), and there's no guarantee that the same parameter will work for every default program.  To get around that, the easiest way would be to edit all the relevant filetypes so the default action is to open in a new window, (if the program allows multiple instances).

« Last post by 4wd on February 01, 2014, 08:42 PM »
Seems to me that something that opened selected files and then just sent Alt+Tab every x seconds is all that's needed.

The cycling of application windows means that for all intents and purposes, the computer is pretty much useless for normal input operations being reduced to a simple looping slideshow function.

Or a basic frontend to AutoTab, that allows you to:
1) choose files,
2) saves the list,
3) opens them,
4) then starts AutoTab.

« Last post by 4wd on February 01, 2014, 05:47 AM »
Why do you want to only have the files open for x amount of seconds?

To close the default program would mean either:
a) sending it a WM_CLOSE message and hoping it respected it without putting up "Are you sure?" requesters, or,
b) killing the task, which is a rather dirty way of doing it and considering you want it to do it ad infinitum would probably lead to an unstable system.

What is the ultimate purpose, maybe we can suggest something else.

Typing filetype on the Start Screen should get you this, (I'm guessing since I use Classic Start Menu and type it in the search box):

Edit: likely the encryption is messing it up.  I'm not sure what all these encryption protocols are.  So I don't really know if SyncPlaces supports them.

So you're using FTPSw (FTP over SSL/TLS) or S/FTPw (FTP over SSH) ?

General Software Discussion / Re: Firefox Bookmarks and Settings Sync?
« Last post by 4wd on January 23, 2014, 01:05 AM »
The fly in the ointment seems to be if the FTP uses a port other than the default.  I cannot find anyplace to put the port number in SyncPlaces.

FWIW, you could install ownCloud on your webserver and then enable its Mozilla Sync app - you can then enter the details of your sync server into Firefox/Pale Moon/Waterfox/etc - I just started doing it, (running ownCloud on a VPS).

« Last post by 4wd on January 21, 2014, 05:26 AM »
Just as a matter of interest, Fujitsu transferred their HDD assets to Toshiba back in 2009 - your HDD is over 5 years old, (2008 model).  Even though SMART says it's fine, if it's your main computer or you use it heavily, I'd probably look at replacing the HDD now or in the near future.

Depends on your mindset of course - I generally wait til they go toes up  :)
