General Software Discussion / Re: Controlling certain facts in a folder

« Last post by Contro on December 14, 2011, 04:08 PM »

Here we are :
Subfolder   ------- PDFInfoGui --------- Explorer
07.2010                         37                   41
the main folder contains :
16 pdf.
                                                                               16                                                             16   (expected value, I'll make seperate proofs if necessary)
This subfolder contains ten folders more. One of them contains one subfolder. And this subfolder contains 6 subfolder more.
04.07.2010----------------------------------------------- 0 ------------------------------------------- 0
04.07.2010.pinza levantada ----------------------------     0 ---------------------------------------       0
04.07.2010.vuelco fotográfico móvil --------------------     0                                                               0

pant.envio.25.07.2010 ------------------------------------


I will continue in a moment.

But I think that I am making a mistake. For some reason windows explorer examine rar files containing pdf.
And seems this is the difference.
I will confirm after supper.

I have observed I obtain 355 files with PDFInfoGui analyzing the target folder
and with Explorer 363 files.
I don't know the reason but I will try what I am doing bad.

-Contro (December 14, 2011, 02:56 PM)

It could be that the the pdfinfo.exe file doesn't recognise a few of the PDFs you have.  It seems to work for the most part, right?  I can add a feature which shows the total number of pages in the list if you'd like.

Wonderful indeed.
As you see I have found at the present moment diversity of situations. And the same result.

I have obtain screenshots if necessary.
I have observed I obtain 355 files with PDFInfoGui analyzing the target folder
and with Explorer 363 files.
I don't know the reason but I will try what I am doing bad.
After export the results obtained with PDFInfoGui to a csv file I open that file with CSVed and export to excel. In excel I obtained the sum of all the pages : 1136 pages.
PDFInfoGui offer interesting information about the pdf files in the columns.
At the present moment I don't know why the number of files encountered is not equal with PDFInfoGui and Explorer. May be repeated files names.

How can I configure ?

-Contro (December 13, 2011, 04:51 PM)

You can't because PlayTime doesn't support that format.  For a list of formats it does support, look here:

http://mediainfo.sou...t/en/Support/Formats

Regarding PDF files, I can write you a quick app that will display how many pages a PDF file has (among other bits of PDF metadata).

Interesting questions for some. Non-trivial.
What do you intend to use the data (sums and counts) for? Does it matter how accurate it is?

I quite like the idea of being able to count or "stocktake" things like this.
It seems to be a classic accounting problem, but I don't have any experience or knowledge of how it might be done in this specific case. I suppose estimation could be a pragmatic approach - rather than actual physical counting, I mean.

Off the top of my head (so apologies if this seems a bit rushed):

Document files:
Depending on the accuracy required, I think it might be useful - if not necessary - for document files to have some definition.
For example:

• to define what is meant by the unit "page" (e.g., A4, Legal, A2, A3, etc.) - so storage unit size would be defined.
• to establish what languages/alphabets you will have in those documents (different alphabet systems may have different packing densities).
• to define what font and point-size you are assuming is used - so density per page could be a concept.
• to define average word-length.
• to define what max, min and average word density would be estimated for the classification of a page-unit. (e.g., do you want to call something with only 5 words on it "A page"?)
• to establish how to cope with pictures (images) in a document, and whether they cover a part of a page (and how much) or a whole page, have captions, headers, etc..
• to establish how to cope with handwriting in a document.
• to establish how to cope with documents (e.g., .PDF or Word files) which have no actual text but only images of pages with words on (this could imply the need for OCRing the documents).
• do you need right-to-left or left-to-right reading/parsing, or both?
• do you have landscape or portrait oriented pages, or both?
• what to do with a frequency estimate for blank pages?

Then you might need to have (say) a function to define the typical density of words, by page.
Physical paper pages could be various sizes, but I suspect you'd have to define a normative/standard size.

Audio files:
Not really sure about these.
Should be able to use standard tags of some (e.g., mp3) to get duration (time). I'm not sure, but that might even be a file property for audio files - if so, then Windows Explorer would presumably be able to display it as a column in details view, same as file "Comments".

Video files:
Not sure at all about these.
Do they use standard tags for things like duration (time)? (I don't know.)

You might like to ask the question over at Quantified Self, where they have been looking at similarly knotty problems - e.g., Effect of One-Legged Standing on Sleep
Mind you, I reckon some of their theories haven't got a leg to stand on.

I have seen something of this in Google. Count the number of pages of pdf files containing in a folder. usually shareware.

What for ?
I have received a request from the judge of my city about a process I open with a usb key with digitalized documentation telling me I must present in 48 hours in written context.
With Windows explorer I have detected
362 pdf
88 word docs
216 eml files
671 jpg
497 png
4 amr files
etc.

Controlling certain facts in a folder

I have a folder containing subfolders and files.
I would like to find a software for :
a) Count the number of pages for file type. By example : number of pages of pdf files. Or even by group of files : number of files of pdf and doc files.
b) In audios file control the duration in minutes.
c) In video files control the duration in minutes. Able to sum durations of all video files inside the folder and subfolders.

I know some utilities to show the size of the files, but I would like with these special parameters.

Best Regards

Any partial solution is good for me too : a soft for counting pages of pdf files in a folder and subfolders.....

General Software Discussion / Re: Multi-Search String for Windows xp

« Last post by Contro on November 15, 2011, 03:54 PM »

The first one to examine : the freeware WanyWord.
I put a big folder. And is working for a while.
I think this program covers all possibilities. Inside the files or search inside the file names. But the concept of text strings seems strange to me. I am not sure now that the program search for parallel strings at the same time. Only for a set of strings considering a word, couple, or a all sentence. But not two sentences separated by a , or ; or : , etc. So I think is only for a chain.

Nice help indeed. I was trying myself.

DWGicon.dll from the first link for some reason don't give result on my pc under windows xp pro sp3 32 bit.

So, the simple and effective solution of : Open the file in Notepad (or some other ASCII or HEX editor) and read the first 6 bytes , offered by your second link is perfect.

I have tried two programs more from

http://www.cadstudio...z/dl_file.asp?ID=111
(is not english, seems from Polland and the option to examine and browse to the dwg to study is : procházet
But for me is equal or less confortable than the simple and effective solution of the notepad and read the first 6 bytes)

http://www.jmsware.com/index.html

The AVE is perfect as a browser for the occasion. And with a look we can determine the version of several files.

and the other program
AcadPVI Shell Extension from the same web I am having problems just now because distort the contextual menu. .... :
A Screenshot :

Shutdown and enter again don't solve the issue.....

Thank a lot for your help.
