Post New Requests Here / Re: Windows Shortcut transformation

« Last post by Contro on May 01, 2011, 07:02 PM »

I have to revise the scenery third and fourth because at the present moment I observ in the

M:\Documents and Settings\JOSE\Escritorio\0486.11.DE.001 folder that I have the crono folder created with the corresponding subfolders. And with the shorcuts converted. Even the folder shortcuts converted.

I suspect that the logs offering the total shortcuts copied is not so fast. The script continues working even in the case of other execution in the scenery fourth where no shorcuts are copied.

I will try again and again over

M:\Documents and Settings\JOSE\Escritorio\0486.11.DE.002

I think this type of software is far away from possibilities of manipulating simple files.
I have seen in an ERP a way to functional organization of documentation because the docs are created from the program and control real dates of creation and modifications.
For doing this with an external script after the documentation is created I think is necessary go into the metadata.

I tried this just now, rather quickly, in xplorer².
It can generate the sorted file listing in just about any form you want and with various filters. That should be able to meet the requirements.
Then it can create shortcuts for all the files listed, as an immediate batch operation. The shortcuts are output to the Desktop folder by default, but that default could probably be changed.
Thereafter it gets messy. The shortcuts do not inherit the date. If the shortcuts pointed to a folder name which contained a date, then Xplorer² could sort on that text in the shortcut, so you could get a date order out of that.

None of this is automatic. You would have to do it manually within xplorer², though I suppose you could write a batch job to automate it - or some aspects of it.
An expert user of xplorer² would probably be able to do better than I.

You can download a free trial of xplorer² and try it for yourself: http://zabkat.com/

Really I need the scenery two.

The recursive copy I think is for replicate the folder tree and all the shortcuts to be copied. Don't go well. The shortcuts are not copied.

I think the soft may need to be revised or I am doing something bad.

Best Regards.

First Scenario

Expected : don't copy the real files
Unexpected : don't find any shortcut and creates only the folder CRONO empty. This folder contains 18 real folders and six shortcuts to folders. And inside contains more files, folders and shortcuts.

At the present moment I don't found a program able to sort by date according to the date the document was written (not copied) or an eml email file was received or sent.A pdf was scanned by the multifunction (not copied from a folder to another), and so on.
This is more near to the modification date than to the creation date. The organization program must be "enough clever" to decide in some cases what date select, but the aim is organize by "real" date......

In the case of pictures or images interest organize by the date the photo was taken. Or the date was modified or retouch ?
In the case of screenshots by the date was taken. Or the date was modified or retouch ?

When you modify an image with Picasa the program save the originals to a subfolder.
Meet all criteria is an exhaustive organizational program I haven't seen as an independent application over the windows explorer.

The target is organize the usual documental files by the order they were created "by your hand", not by your system.

I'll try and comment. I was looking the autoit function FileGetTime or similar in autohotkey. But I have another problem with eml files "drag and drop" from Thunderbird. When you drag and drop an eml file from TB the date creation, modification and last access is the date you did "drag and drop".
Really when I talk to reorganize by date I assumed the date you sent or received the message.
And then I think is not a simple function to do it in autohotkey......

Hello again.

What I need is organize by modified date, because a simply copy makes the creation date today       .
I need to maintain the original "creation" date of the file.

Hello skwire.

Owww. I have observed when I copy from one folder to another that the creation date file is updated to today in docs files. And the modified date is the date when that file was created.

Where can I see when the original file was created ?. In eml files from Thunderbird when I extract the creation, the modification and last access is the same.

I would like to know how determine the date of initial creation of that file, don't alter the creation date each time I copy that file to another folder.

In other words. Your program is doing well, but I don't understand why the creation date is modified when i make a copy of that file without modifying its content.

Please tell me how can I control this.

Best Regards

I try my very best :

The program don't work because don't organize by creation date file.

I would like :

a) Please don't skip the lnk files or shortcuts. Copy (don't necessary move) the shortcuts to the date folder associated with the creation of the original file.

b) Copy the habitual or documents type files (images, videos, pdf, doc, xls, dwg, or as you said excluding the hidden and system files) to the date folder according to his creation date.

c) The program explores the source folder and his subfolders and copy the files to the target folder and subfolders according to the date creation of the files.

d) The target folders and subfolders may be in this structure : 2011 , 04.2011 , 23.04.2011 or perhaps is better for international the english way.

Note : If you prefer the criteria "move" files then :
1) move lnk files according to the creation date of the original or linked files to the date folders. And mantain the lnk files in the source folder.
2) move rest of recognized files according to the creation date to the date folders in the target folder.
Your initial program may accomplish my target if I simply copy my initial folder to the source folder for this operation. Then I will not lose any link with Goldmine.

Or perhaps you may propose copy or move the files.

Best Regards


Note : I think the hard situation may be when you encounter in the source folder a shortcut to a folder. Because in this case need a loop in an array to control the files. Or even - I certainly take care of not repeat inside the source folder a shortcut to the source folder - an endless loop that is controllable in an array.

I tried ContrOrganizer.

1. First I create a sample folder in my desktop with some files in it from differente creation dates.
2. I created the destination folder in my desktop and execute the program.

The program only create the subfolders : 2011  ,  04.2011 , 23.04.2011 because assume the date the files were copied to the sample folder I supposed.

Now I'll try to see the behaviour of soft when I tried with a shorcut in the sample folder. I observ the correct conversion to shortcuts in the sample folder orienting to the destination folder.

What will happen when a shortcut in the sample folder is found ?

I will comment

In other tasks, works or projects the folders are personalized and created in reason to the necessary themes. Are creative works, the folders are different according to the individual task.

Even the use of some folders created in a date or month date.

So I need to reorganize........

In the screenshot I refer to  task 0340.10 , but imagine if I have to resume several tasks like 0340.10 , 0472.11 , 0502.11 .

Ouwwww. I forgot to tell that in the dedicated hard drive the photos are organized by the download date to my pc. In the dedicated hard drive O:
I used the format day.month.year, but the way I have seen year . month . day is good for me too.

Nice indeed.
I'll try. But I made this observation :
1. When I work usually don't have time to organized by date, so I organize by themes. A screenshot of my peculiar situation :

I translate to make understand : received documents, sent documents folders. help folder, components folder, photos, proofs, temp, security copy, final revision, and so on.

For a first organization is more powerful organize by themes usually , but when the work grow or even interacts with one or two more is difficult to control.

In my peculiar case i have other problem. I am plenty of space with seven real hard disk in my pc. I have a dedicated hard drive to photos and videos, another to documents data, and so on.

In this way what I put in the photos folder are shorcuts from the original ones in the images hard disk.

I use the CRM Goldmine to link to real or convenient folders , so if the proposed above soft move the files and convert the original ones in shortcuts I will not able to find my original links.

That's the reason because I need a simply copy or transform or my original files in shortcuts in the date data organization.

The date data organization is a way to "remember" the all project.

I am working in a way to present extensive works in chronos way and linking by themes in a special document for third persons. And then burn into a CD/DVD. So first I am able to convert all of the shortcuts into real with the splendid script Short2Real made in this same forum by 4wd .

I think this soft may be useful to many persons, because offers the opportunity to revise a project or folder organization in other way.

When you present a work to third persons is where the date organization is more relevant.

I am doing something wrong with the last version 1126. When I execute the program propose copy file mode. I observ the log perfectly created but I don't copy anything.

The screenshot :

I'll try now with the first version and comment.

Owwwww. I put off the mark in See file actions (SAFE-DOES NOT ALTER FILES)
but when I push Sort button nothing happen.

I am using windows xp pro sp3 spanish version.

Go right because I am using two monitors.

At the present moment I think is not enough for my purposes.
The solution or answer for many is reorganize images and videos of a party.
For me when I create a task or project I follow an organization with folders : documents received, documents sent, help received, messages, outgoing special documents and so on. For me is better the possibility to organize in crono folders by shortcuts, and finally if need converto to real links in chronologically order.

Is much powerfull I have seen until now.

one thread look for a snack, the other one for a made program.
One was created first. And the second after.
I will take a good look in the other. I think this soft don't exist.
I have seen similar soft for organizing multimedia, but very poorful.
