General Software Discussion / Re: Need to convert audio files while keeping original file dates

« Last post by publicdomain on May 12, 2021, 05:23 PM »

But because the dates have some sentimental value (kids' musical and voice performances from 1997-2004) I want to keep the original file dates and not overwrite them with the conversion date.

No conversion program I currently have will do this.  Can anyone help?

-Lolipop Jones (May 12, 2021, 04:39 PM)

Greetings LJ! If your conversion program has a command-line interface where you can pass the destination/resulting file name, making a program to snapshot previous dates for originals and "replaying it" on the resulting files is possible.

It could also be possible to make it if you already have resulting files having changed extension from .wav to .mp3. In such a case, the program would compare file name patterns and adjust/set the MP3 files' dates accordingly.

I'm open to making this tool with a little accompanying feedback from you. Cheers!

Seems to be an issue if you try to do to many files at once.



Was doing 16 files at the time.

General Software Discussion / Re: software which allows to move or copy folders in several other folders

« Last post by publicdomain on May 12, 2021, 03:18 PM »

I am looking for a software which allows to move or copy folders in several other folders
Or created folders in several other folders

-amaid (April 11, 2021, 11:06 AM)

Okay, we can have a checkbox to "Keep files" when checked. If unchecked it would be a "move" (actually a multi-copy, then source removal).

For example I have 5 folders and I would like 50 other folders to contain the 5 folders, but to do this manually, it takes a long time

-amaid (April 11, 2021, 11:06 AM)

How about having a "drag & drop list" where you can drop all the directories you want from Explorer OR having a "Browse for folder" button to add destination directories one by one. Guess we can also feature both ways to add folders? Time to brainstorm!

Hi,
I do that manually although it would be ten times easier with a software to do it for me. I'm going to try what Vic suggested, hope that'll work.

-velaris (May 12, 2021, 03:20 AM)

Hi V! Welcome to the fray! Feel free to brainstorm with us

-publicdomain (May 11, 2021, 09:05 PM)

Code's finished Disambiguation procedure is simply appending numbers in the "(#)" format.

Yes. Lets not confuse the folder to the file.

-nickodemos (May 11, 2021, 08:52 PM)

Roger. Since there's no GUI guess it would only add extension to disambiguate (should it happen).

I'm on it! This is a one-day code Cheers!

How about a generic FileToFolder.

-nickodemos (May 11, 2021, 07:18 PM)

Agreed: https://github.com/p...cdomain/filetofolder

Do you want file extensions to be clipped?

i.e. C:\Windows\Notepad.exe => C:\Windows\Notepad\Notepad.exe

I could also use an option to move to folder and each file would be moved to a folder from the name of the file.

-nickodemos (May 09, 2021, 08:26 AM)

Let's do this Nick! What would you suggest for a name?

(Perhaps "Subfile"?)

Do you want it to be a graphical program or would a straightforward non-GUI command do it for you?

i.e. form/dialog for detailed file renaming vs straight file operation(s).

Thanks J & T for participating.

So, we're heading to several Enfolder menu entries, each addressing your preference(s):

- Enfolder

Subfolder functionality assumed. Naming dialog selection populated by selected items' names.

- Enfolder date

Subfolder functionality assumed. Current date used in folder naming dialog.

- Enfolder browse

Would trigger folder browser dialog so you can choose destination folder & name.


Feel free to comment! This thread's welcoming of all the creative discussion

One for @Nickodemos with his suggested functionality + the simplified version you have in mind

@v:
two questions from dev to dev

-KodeZwerg (May 05, 2021, 09:28 PM)

My pleasure to answer K!

#1: It serves a fellow user in need, that's all that matters for this public domain project

Besides, making users happy == happy Vic

...On the technical side, this seminal app can be taken to a great state by giving it fine-grained control on files & sub-folder items, as well as on individual operations (copy/move/rename) plus other "goodies". The challenge for this initial release being to "flex" instant addition capabilities via registry vs creating a full-blown shell extension or doing a limited "Send to".

#2: I'd give this initial version a 2- (two-star) ranking. Why? Because it was worth enough for 1 user to request it & it was interesting enough for 1 programmer to code it!

1 + 1 rating for initial 0.1.0 version!

Cheers!
Vic

-publicdomain (May 03, 2021, 06:10 PM)

...pretty much done, yet smallish stuff has been "popping in". Current approach has its funky ways! Been squashing a race condition; it's proving worth it since a full-blown shell extension may be an overkill (sticking to registry in here)...
