General Software Discussion / Re: tool to check if TIFF files compressed ?
« Last post by skwire on June 25, 2009, 12:23 PM »
i wouldn't mind having a GUI for the tiffinfo program. who knows, it might come in handy one day.

Here you go:  tiffInfoGUI download

maybe an AHK front-end for tiffinfo would come in handy for non-TC users. :)
I could easily code this up...however, is there enough interest?  Speak now!

No GUI necessary, btw. command line tool would be perfect :)

The Unix "sort -n" command will do this easily. 


skwire@hankoku ~
$ clip
1. some text
10. yet more text
1011. Text
2. more text again
4. more text

skwire@hankoku ~
$ clip | sort -n
1. some text
2. more text again
4. more text
10. yet more text
1011. Text

skwire@hankoku ~

I've attached a Win32 binary version of the Unix sort command.

I am not sure how reliable these plugins are with TIFF compression because all TIFFs I've got are with LZW. You should try by yourself.
-fenixproductions (June 23, 2009, 10:43 AM)
The first plugin recognises the LZW, jpeg, Packbits and zip/deflate formats.  The second one recognises the LZW, jpeg, and Packbits formats.

@tomos: maybe you can try this LibTIFF tool - tiffinfo.
tiffinfo works as well and recognises the four formats listed above.

Can you post a few examples of both types of TIFF file?  Maybe there is something in the header that can be read to determine if it's compressed or not.

In a past job, I wrote C and Java (not Javascript) code along with Oracle Forms code.  These days, I do almost everything in AutoHotkey along with Perl and PHP when needed.  Other languages that I've written viable code in include VB/VBS, Python, and Ruby.

Consider this AutoHotkey code:

Menu, Launch_Menu, Add, Assassin's Creed, Launch_Menu_Handler
Menu, Launch_Menu, Add, Grid Racing     , Launch_Menu_Handler
Menu, Launch_Menu, Add, Deadspace       , Launch_Menu_Handler
Menu, Launch_Menu, Add, Silent Hill     , Launch_Menu_Handler

Menu, Launch_Menu, Show

Launch_Menu_Handler:
{
    If ( A_ThisMenuItem = "Assassin's Creed" )
    {
        Run, c:\path\to\assassin's creed\game.exe
    }
    Else If ( A_ThisMenuItem = "Grid Racing" )
    {
        Run, c:\path\to\grid racing\game.exe
    }
    Else If ( A_ThisMenuItem = "Deadspace" )
    {
        Run, c:\path\to\deadspace\game.exe
    }
    Else If ( A_ThisMenuItem = "Silent Hill" )
    {
        Run, c:\path\to\slient hill\game.exe
    }
    ExitApp
}
Return

Obviously, change the paths to suit your games/system.

Give "Simple Word Gen" a try:  Download

There is no sophisticated algorithm at work here...just a simple, random c-v-c-v-c pattern as you requested.

this does seem like a perfect candidate for a coding snack though, so maybe someone still wants to try it.
I'll whip something up...shouldn't take long.

AutoHotkey code:

!6:: SendInput {F2}^v{ENTER}

is there any way to just take the name till you get to the first "-" and ignore the rest?  Would seem to be easier to do that.

Keep in mind that that logic won't work for one of your examples:  A-Team

Their logo isn't orange, but VibeStreamer can do this.

Thanks for the plugin.  Would you consider adding support for the +sall feature in FARR?  Alternately, you could add support for the 'extended results' setting in FARR.
5193
I guess I was unclear in my Python script post, but it also adds the zero-byte files with correct modification dates >__>
I just tried your script...very nice work.  =]

It's not that slow.  :(  I gave it a test on a folder with 5200 files (184 folders) in it and it was done in around eight seconds.

vixay, try the latest...it should keep the timestamps properly.

Bahaha...the recursive spiral of doom.

Some further thoughts. The test zip file i created has 18,375 files and weighs in at 3.27 MB. That must mean that the filenames storage takes up that much space. And that zips don't optimize that part? or something else?
Yes, the filenames take up that much space.  I tried it with compression and it didn't make a difference in size.

Scanning for files was slower than everything/locate, i don't know how they do it, but they can scan filenames super fast. just a thought, to see if it could be sped up.
It's not the scanning that's slow, it's the creation of all the zero-byte files that slows things down.

The date/time is not preserved for filenames. This was not an original requirement but when i think about it, it's better to have that information preserved  (not required though). If it will make the program slower then it should not be there (or maybe as an optional thing).
It shouldn't make it too much slower.  I'll add it in.

Can you share your ideas on how you did it? You used IZarc to compress, did you just use flags for the command line , or dump the filename list and then create the zip?
Just command-line flags (izarcc.exe -a -r -p -c0).  So, the flow goes like this:

1) Recursive scan through source folder and re-create it using zero-byte files in user's temp folder.
2) Zip up temp folder with relative paths set.
3) Delete temp folder.

Does that help clear things up?

Download Zero Zipper and see if this is what you had in mind.

Is there a way to recreate file/folder structure from source to target but without any content?
better yet, is it possible to zip it up?

I have this mostly done but have some questions.

1) Do you have need of the recreated zero-byte structure?  Or, do you just care about the resulting zip file?  The reason I ask is that if you don't, I'll just build the new structure in the user's temp folder and delete it when I'm done.  Make sense?

2) I currently have the zip being generated with relative paths set.  What this means is that you can unzip the resulting zip file to any folder and the structure will be built there.  Is that okay?
