@Paul Keith: Yes, it's similar but I think kalos wants something more automated where he doesn't have to manually copy a line to the clipboard, etc.

Some questions:

1) How many target text files are we talking about here?  Unlimited?

2) When you say "click a shortcut key", do you mean clicking a button on a window or do you mean pressing a hotkey combo like ctrl-1?

Living Room / Re: How to send fax through high-speed internet connection?

« Last post by skwire on July 08, 2010, 08:35 AM »

Sorry, I should have clarified that I do this from a printer/scanner/fax combo (Canon Pixma MP830).  Though, I can't see why it couldn't be done from a modem in a computer along with some fax software.

If you have a cell phone with [free] long-distance, you can do what I do when I need to send a fax.  I simply forward my cell phone to the fax number and then fax to my cell phone number (which is a local call but forwarded on to the fax number).  It works a treat for me on the rare occasion I need to send a fax since I don't keep long-distance on my house's landline.

You own video2mp3.net? About the ipod it seems mine will not work with the Mp3. Only Mp4. Strange

No, I don't own http://video2mp3.net.  I wrote a standalone application (that has the same name) that you can get here:

Also...there are PLENTY of coverter apps that will take a YouTube Flash video (FLV) and convert them to MP4 and M4A formats.  I'm not sure I really need to re-invent the wheel here...

Hmmm...now that I think about it.  Are you wanting something that will convert the YouTube video to an MP4 video?  Or, do you want something that will extract the audio portion only of a YouTube video to MP4 format?

As an aside, I thought all iPods could play MP3s?  My daughter's Nano plays them just fine.

Mucho thanks once again Skwire, I do believe that this will provide a genuine boost to my productivity.  I'll drop you a donation as a token of my appreciation.

-deano (July 04, 2010, 03:45 PM)

You're welcome.  I'm happy to help out.

On a technical note would you be able to explain how you did it?  Was it all autohotkey or something else?  And would you have the source code?  As I said way back at the top of this thread I am trying to learn how to create different kinds of programs on Windows and would like to make things like this for other people as well.

-deano (July 04, 2010, 03:45 PM)

The interface is all AutoHotkey.  The grunt work behind the scenes is done by convert.exe from the ImageMagick suite and tiffinfo.exe from the LibTIFF suite.  I use convert.exe to do the rotation and converting from TIFF to JPG (using the "/rotate #" parameter).  The tiffinfo.exe I use for determining how many pages are in the TIFF file.

AutoHotkey is superb for making front-ends that utilise commandline executables and/or DLL files.  Initially, I had intended to use the GDI+ library to do it all but I couldn't find a way to get the number of pages in a TIFF file using it so I wrote it using IrfanView doing the image manipulation.  However, I remembered that you wanted to use this at work and IrfanView's license doesn't allow that without paid registration.  I then rewrote it using the current ImageMagick/LibTIFF method, hence the delay in getting it to you.

Does that help clear things up?

Superb, it works!  Many thanks.  I love a simple app that does exactly what you need it to do

-deano (July 04, 2010, 03:21 PM)

Great.  I'm glad it's working for you.  =]

Just one thing; i clicked Help,About and the message box is empty.  Presumably this would have the answers to these questions;

* What does Edit, Launch File do?
* What do the Get data... and Update highlighted... buttons do?

-deano (July 04, 2010, 03:21 PM)

Doh, forgot to take out the Edit, Launch entry.  As for the other buttons:

• Get data from focused row -- This will populate the the radio button cluster and the output directory field below the listview with the data from the focused row.
• Update highlighted rows -- Let's say you just dropped a slew of TIFF files on the listview.  Highlight them all, choose a rotation, set the output directory field and then click that button.  ALL highlighted rows will be updated with your entered values.  It's a quick way to set the rotation/output data for lots of rows.

Give this a shot and see if it's what you had in mind.  If so, I'll set up the typical webpage, write a help file and release it.

« Last post by skwire on July 02, 2010, 02:46 AM »

Yeah...no kidding.  There's little I can do about it, though.  I would guess it's because of the keyboard hooks and such that are part of the autohotkey.exe which gets embedded when you compile a .ahk file (even if your code doesn't use the hook).

Since FileBucket now handles folders as well, the methods could be renamed from "Copy files" and "Move files" to "Copy" and "Move".

-Lesmo16 (July 01, 2010, 12:49 PM)

Good point.  I'll change that.

BTW: What about "Delete" as an additional method for File Bucket? Could do the same as Deletist.

-Lesmo16 (July 01, 2010, 12:49 PM)

I really really really hate messing with user's files more than I have to.  If I did add something like this it would be a "Delete to Recycle Bin" method.

Oh, one more thing.  Did you want the original TIFF "repaired", so to speak?  As in:

1) Extract all pages.
2) Rotate them as needed.
2.5) Make new multipage TIFF from rotated files.
3) Convert them to jpg/pdf.
4) Move them to desired destination folder.

Your thoughts?
