Can you tell I'm just looking for a way to use the awesome built-in Check for Updates option?

Finished Programs / Re: IDEA: Faster boots combining hibernate and restart (Boot Snooze)

« Last post by skwire on March 19, 2010, 08:24 AM »

skwire, I tested it but auto-login did not work . I'm running Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bits, maybe that's the cause (other registry keys?).
And when enabling auto-login in Boot Snooze, the username is not set to the current user by default.

-snark_be (March 18, 2010, 11:44 PM)

worked on winxp
-mouser (March 19, 2010, 04:43 AM)

Like mouser mentioned, it works on XP for me. I don't have any Win7 systems with which to test on, unfortunately.

If anybody is up for it, please give this test build a try. It includes the auto-login feature.

http://skwire.dcmemb...ooze/BootSnooze_.zip

If auto-login is already enabled on your computer, this build won't offer anything new. As I mentioned above the changes/logic are as follows:

1) Username and password fields have been added to Boot Snooze's main form with a checkbox for enabling auto-login.

2) If enabled, the requisite registry entries will be set just before shutdown. DefaultUserName, DefaultPassword and AutoAdminLogon are the keys involved. DefaultUserName is almost always already in place.

3) If enabled and after the reboot, Boot Snooze will immediately remove the DefaultPassword and AutoAdminLogon registry entries. In other words, Boot Snooze will minimise the amount of time that a box is in AutoLogon-able state.

4) Boot Snooze does not save the username and password (even encrypted) in the config.ini file. Yes, that does mean the user will have to enter it each time. I'm open to discussion on this.

Command line support for this new option will come later. If this works well for you testers, I'll promote it to the next release.

Apologies for the delay in adding the auto-login functionality. I need to find a few minutes to add that in.

As an aside, keep in mind that this has had, obviously, minimal testing. In other words, I'd make some backup copies of your photos first.

Not currently. It's designed for a flat list of files.

Give this a test (source/binary included): File Punter

It's not fully feature complete as of yet but the core functionality is in there. It should be pretty intuitive.

1) Use the top section to create and add your match filters to the list.
2) Checkmark the rows you want to process.
3) Choose your method at the bottom and click Start. Progress and such is shown in the statusbar. You can cancel at any time.
4) All checked rows will be processed in order. You can move highlighted rows up and down through the list with ctrl-up and ctrl-down before clicking Start.
5) You can delete rows by highlighting and pressing delete.
6) The list is saved/loaded automatically when you close/launch the app. No other settings are saved at this point.

The three methods you can choose from are:

1) Copy files to destination. Self-explanatory.
2) Move files to destination. Self-explanatory.
3) Simulation only. This mode won't touch your files. It will just create a text report that will show which files matched your filters and their destinations. You can use it as a sort of "test run" mode. Keep in mind that if your filter matches a very large number of files, the resulting text file can get pretty large, too. Depending on path lengths involved, figure about a meg per 9000 lines/matches.

Put it through its paces and let me know how it works out for you. If it seems solid enough, I'll add in my usual Skwire Empire stuff and release it as a full-fledged app. Thanks and apologies for the delay in getting this to a release candidate.

To make my testing easier, can you provide me with a text file containing the filenames you're dealing with?

Now you've got me interested in AutoHotKey! It seems like it would, with some learning, enable me to automate a lot of the repetitive things I do.
-mickblu (March 11, 2010, 07:26 PM)

Oh, my. I would hate to use a computer without it. I've built my main "system script" up over the years to the point where vanilla Windows functionality is tough to deal with.

I don't know how old you are
-mickblu (March 11, 2010, 07:26 PM)

I'm 36. Not too old...not too young.

If you were to make up this app for me, would you provide it in AHK source or is that too much to hope for? I'd love to be able to learn from a master!
-mickblu (March 11, 2010, 07:26 PM)

I'm no master...but you're welcome to the source on this one.

What would it take to convince you to complete the project for me ?
-mickblu (March 11, 2010, 07:26 PM)

I'll work on it tonight. There really isn't much left to do other than some GUI bits and testing.

It seems that FileSieve crashes when faced with the 293,717 files that I have (and I only pointed it to the "fj" subset, "ma" has another 241,098) so, I guess, your mission, should you choose to accept it sir, is to demonstrate how AHK can do the job!
-mickblu (March 11, 2010, 08:23 PM)

I've no doubt AHK can do it.

If FileSieve doesn't end up working out for you, let me know. All my applications are written in AutoHotkey. You can find more examples of my work at my website in my sig.

For what it's worth, my custom app for you also has multiple input directories. Here's a preliminary screenshot:

BTW, have you checked out File Sieve 3 at all? The author is a great coder...I use a few of his apps. Comical is a favourite. Anyway, if File Sieve doesn't do what you need, I'll continue work on your custom app. Please let me know.
