Sometimes goes when the files we received inside folders. We import a organization folder with files inside and we have this problem.

1. Be able to schedule a restart in several hours periodically (not only daily)
2. Be able to schedule a restart in safe mode, and then other two hours later in normal mode.

Perhaps something you can use the built-in Windows Task Scheduler for?

Just too complicated for me. I want automation with AHK or any other script. A complete and powerful script without the knowledge and sacrifice a programmer needs.....

What would you be using this for?

-Ath (October 02, 2012, 04:44 AM)

It seems the capital question. To depure the system , I think.
Nevertheless I would like to try the process is not illegal.....
 

In the past I think I have tried to reenter in safe mode. We have to modify the msconfig I think.
I usually use Restart because I have so many times installed windows xp pro in the same pc, and ubuntu, as you may know.
What I am looking for is a flexible tool. But don't ask me the exact purpose because I only imagine.
I have six systems under xp. Suppose I want to do some task depending on the system, because each system is specialized.
I am trying at these moments windows 8 because possibly my future pc will goes with multiple virtual machines under w8. But i will continue with xp pro in the backfront.

 

I usually don't turn off my pc's. They are all the day on.
I have read the system degenerated after many hours turn on.
Depuring the system if often in safe mode.

so perhaps you have an idea what i am looking for, but I would to know is possible anyway.

I would like the most complete scripts for this purpose :

With these possibilities
- system restarts programmed each 20 minutes
- option to restarts in safe mode and program this option
- option to succesive restarts or even shutdowns if possible.
- restart and launch after some minutes a special program for that occasion.
etc.

What is the best ?
P.D. Not languages please, AHK is the best of course.

Finished Programs / DONE: Difficult Finder

« Last post by Contro on September 24, 2012, 04:23 PM »

Difficult Finder

Open a folder in a path predefined.
Open a folder inside a folder proposing his name after invoking the script by a definable hotkey.

I would like a snack for :

1. Using a hotkey run a script that open a window to propose the name of a subfolder
2. All the subfolders are from a given path . By example : Y:\GABINETE\PROYECTOS\
3. If the subfolder exists open the folder. If not simply return.

By example

I wish to open the subfolder 206

That is
Y:\GABINETE\PROYECTOS\206

P.D. I have a more difficult situation . I want to open all the subfolders from a list of paths is exists.
By example : I wish to open the subfolder 206 proposing its name in a window invoked by a hotkey.
Then open in these paths if exist :
Y:\Example\Path1\
Y:\engineer\path2\
......
y:\conta\


That is. Open if exist :
Y:\example\path1\206\
Y:\engineer\path2\206
......
y:\conta\206

I would like a fast script.

Thanks

What I use for finding tagged/personalized files is WordPerfect

-sword (September 15, 2012, 06:49 PM)

Take this into consideration. Almost any home scanner comes with a lite version and free with the scanner of a indexing software. And able to recognize the file properties more usual.
So I would like a free soft for this purpose.

Ejem for the indexing fields scanned.
It's a new world.
Scan a document and index with the OCR mantaining the original document.
I think is the system follows Qiqqa.
We have in the forum a good defender of Qiqqa.
I hope he sees this post.

I've been looking for similar needs.
You might take a look at Exiftool and ExiftoolGUI.
http://www.sno.phy.queensu.ca/~phil/exiftool/
It is more for use with photo and camera metadata but can also access some document metadata. They also have an active forum that may be of help.

Another that may be of help is Benubird http://www.debenu.com/products/desktop/debenu-pdf-benubird/.
I haven't tried it yet but there have been some discussion/postings here in the forum regarding it.

-bob99 (September 14, 2012, 06:19 AM)

I haven't try, but have microsoft word any utility to search for metadata ?

I use word xp or 2002.
I don't remember now.

 

-Contro (September 14, 2012, 06:35 PM)

I do not have the laptop with the program with me right now. But will check in the morning and let you know.
One thing I found in my search is that all metadata is not created equal. The term is used universally with programs but how the information (comments, descriptions, captions, etc) is saved varies. The Wikipedia page on metadata gives more detail and a better explanation than I can.

Another program I read about earlier today is Imatch at http://www.photools.com
It has also been discussed here in the forums a few times. I also checked in their forum section and it looks like it can do pdf's and maybe Word documents. And they say a new beta version is coming out in a while with more features. It isn't free but is much more reasonably priced than other programs I looked at. If it does what I need it will be worth it.

-bob99 (September 14, 2012, 08:43 PM)

I am studying this question.
I think in this post the best way is limit to the fields windows give : summary properties, word file properties, photo exif properties. Really I think is enough with the general properties.

Paperport seems to use these general fields.

Or even automate accountings capturing the properties metadata.

Able to search in an entire disk
Locate32 does, but not in the metadata.

Where are those keys ?

I haven't tried to do such searches, but I suspect that File Locator Pro could handle metadata searches.  I know that it has a setting to "search raw document data of processed files," and it's got many other settings for finding things other search programs can't handle.  There's also a freeware version, Agent Ransack, but I doubt that it has the same range of features.

-cyberdiva (September 13, 2012, 08:23 PM)

Trying
First I will try if File locator is able to filter all files whose author is JPR inside a folder.

I will comment.
Best Regards

My comments : No. I don't see the programs (Filelocatorpro or agentransack) search for the author of a document (pdf, doc, xls, etc.) or even search inside a field in the summary fields. By example resume/comments.

I am trying to find a soft for (windows xp pro):

Find all the file whose Author is :
Or contain determined metadata : comment, keywords....

By example find pdf with "psi" in the summary properties.

Exists ?

Best Regards
 

Is there a way to conduct a search of document "properties"? My goal is to
place information or keywords in a document's properties and then be able
later to search and find all documents of that type.

-----
I have several files whose filename is not adequately descriptive, so I've
entered values for the 'Title' and 'Comments' fields in the Summary tab of
those files' Properties. How can I search on those fields? I see no way to
do it in Windows Explorer. Thanks.
