Would anyone be interested in making a Windows 7 desktop gadget that does a slideshow of animated gifs? If you know javascript well enough I am pretty sure it is just a question of modifying C:\Program Files\Windows Sidebar\Gadgets\SlideShow.Gadget\en-US\js\slideShow.js The reason I'm asking is I downloaded all 125 of these and a desktop gadget seems like the easiest way to make them in to animated desktop backgrounds.

I've been wanting to sort my >1TB collection of pictures that are in Canon's CR2, Panasonic's RW2, and regular DNG RAW formats. Preferably it would organize by date folders in this fashion (nested folders): YEAR -> YEAR_MONTH -> YEAR_MONTH_DAY. I've found a program that does exactly that but it's Windows only and doesn't support Panasonic's RAW format (the program is called PhotoMove in case anyone is interested). The latter isn't a big deal, I could use Adobe's converter to convert them to DNGs. Could someone write up a Python script (preferably in Python3) that will do this by reading the picture's EXIF data (date shot) and would work on Windows, Mac, and Linux? I tried doing this but its a bit beyond my skill level at the moment. Or maybe someone knows of a script or program that will do this?

How feasible would it be to have a text overlay for images that showed info you'd normally need to hover for. I'm guessing javascript is the way to do it. For example, any given fan site will have a gallery of thumbnails that you click to go to the bigger stuff. http://photos.adele-adkins.net/thumbnails.php?album=62 (work safe) If you hover over any thumbnail you'll get basic information about the link beyond it, specifically the destination image's dimensions. It wouldn't be thumbnail's dimensions but rather the information that displays when you hover the thumbnail (found plenty of javascript solutions that would report the thumbnail's dimensions). Looking at the Source it seems that stuff like that is included in the Title section of the href. Such as: code:
Basically hoover up any Dimensions= text and overlay that on images (maybe white text black shadow/outline). Is that possible? Perhaps with a keystroke toggle like Ctrl+Alt+i so it only gets run when you want it to. Edit: Positioning on the image isn't really important if it's difficult to find the bottom right corner, especially if you can toggle it on or off with a shortcut.

Would somebody be able to either write me or link me to an app that already exists that can take a folder full of files and arrange them into new folders for burning onto the smallest amount of DVDs? I believe this is called the bin packing problem. OSX preferred, Windows will do as well. Both? You can have my first born.

I've heard 'Burn To The Brim' mentioned for this, but I've never used it and don't know if it has a Mac version.

Would a sleep timer for Windows 7 be simple enough to write? I'm talking about a program that could have a timer value in seconds as a command-line switch and perhaps another that can be sent later as an abort if I decide later to not go ahead with the sleep. In fact, exactly like the Windows shutdown.exe command, but allowing me to put my machine to sleep (as opposed to shutdown or hibernate, which shutdown.exe only seems to handle.) Right now I have a sleep button on my keyboard that I hit, but sometimes I want to leave my PC doing something for the next X minutes/hours and being able to schedule sleep would be great. I've no idea what the sleep button calls, as this Logitech Internet Navigator keyboard is no longer supported and I think I'm just lucky it works at all.

I'll take a look, thanks. At no point does it specify sleep per se, but maybe the other terms it uses are the same thing.

In case anyone cares, this worked. I had to write a batch file that would pop up a message window to say it was going to sleep in X minutes, and a shortcut to that so I could run it as admin. PsShutdown wouldn't work unless it had admin rights. I might improve it by allowing me to pass the number of minutes to wait through the shortcut, rather than having to dig through the filesystem to edit the batch file, but I doubt I'll use it enough to care. Thanks again.

Hey, I've asked for something here already, but this time you might be saving future heartbreak in my family and I will pay you. Is there someone out there willing to write an .exe that completely freezes all input into the computer and displays some message on the screen, like "Stop playing World of Tanks again you goddamn retard we're on to you" (preferably in red comic sans) and plays an mp3 on loop of someone in an obnoxious singsong voice saying "12 hundred United States dollars" over and over really really loud? Thanks in advance!

I think this might be beyond the scope of this thread but I don't know anything about programming. If this is too large of a project can anyone point me in the right direction of where I could get this done for payment? I work in retail and every summer and winter I need to make floorplans for the store. What would make my life way easier would be a program that could first make a floorplan (I attached what a typical blank floorplan for one department that I use now) and then allow me to enter what sections are needed in that department and their size. For example in sports I need to place hockey sticks, hockey equipment, sleds, etc. What I was imagining would be that I could input each product class, for example 'Hockey sticks' which is 4 segments, and the program would allow you to drag it onto an aisle and occupy 4 segments of the aisle, or drag hockey so that two segments are either side of the aisle. It would be great if I could see all of the product classes that still need to be placed on the floorplan, and if it would list how many segments I have filled/free on the floorplan and how many segments I have left to place. Thanks for any help with this.

Hi friendly programmer people! I switch languages between Danish and English a lot when I'm typing. But I also have crappy spelling in both languages, so I would very much appreciate it if I something could be created that switches between built in dictionaries with a keyboard shortcut. In particular I use the Windows 8 Mail and Skype apps but I also use Firefox and Office 2013 on the desktop so I guess that would need something separate? Would appreciate any help!

I would love to point an app at my music folder (containing all the artist folders) and read the folders and subfolders (but not song title files) to get output in the form of a text file like so: Artist Name 1 (tab)Album Title 1 (tab)Album Title 2 Artist Name 2 (tab)Album Title 1 Artist Name 3 (tab)Album Title 1 (tab)Album Title 2 (tab)Album Title 3 and so on (THIS REQUEST HAS BEEN COMPLETED, THANK YOU) pwnyXpress fucked around with this message at 17:52 on Jul 17, 2013 |

I'm trying to monitor an executable to find out when it accesses a file in a .package to find out which files in which order it accesses next. Event occurs in executable. Executable accesses share.package/res/share/foo.txt Executable accesses share.package/res/share/foo2.txt ... Event ends. I need to know what foo2.txt and the following files are. I know which line in foo.txt it's accessing, but the event is random and I can't determine it. Is this something beyond the scope of this thread, or is there an existing program that could assist me?

It'd be helpful if you could tell us, at minimum, which OS you're using. Also, do you know which language this executable was written with? If your executable will run on FreeBSD or Solaris, you could potentially use DTrace to intercept the IO request and print the information you seek.

I'm running Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit. I do not know what it was programmed in but the majority of its supporting files appear to use LUA and HTML for in-game elements. It's a main game executable and as far as I know there's only Windows clients. The conditions to trigger the event necessitate it to be running and logged in. edit: I'd hazard a guess it's either .NET or a C variant.

You could try Process Explorer to see which files the program has opened. It probably won't help you determine the order in which they were opened, but it's a place to start.

I'm looking for an FTP program that can be set to run only during certain hours and turns off at the appointed time - and supports auto-resume. Right now I cobbled together WinSCP portable command lines and Task Scheduler but I have no faith that the program is stopping when it should or even that it is working correctly (worked the first day, no files downloaded last night) and pretty much is limited to syncing the remote directory. I only get 15 GB a month with free download hours from 0230-0730 so it is a bit of a pain in the rear end to get anything without staying up late. Ideally I'd be able to que up the files for download and see the program running in the foreground. Forums upgrade/AV/etc for anyone who wants to take on that task or can recommend me a program that fits the bill (I have tried googleing it with no luck).

This sounds like it would be pretty easy to bang out in Python - I may do it in the next couple days if nobody else gets to it. I don't know how hard auto-resume is, but I see some discussion on it with a quick Google so it doesn't look too bad. Edit: I haven't looked to see if there's already something out there either.

You should just use rsync and ship it with a python library you ran through py2exe. 2 binaries, 100% functionality

I've continued to search and found that CuteFTP has a schedule option - this is good, but it still doesn't stop downloading at set hours, so I've been looking at external programs to kill the program manually at 0730. I am still interested in whatever you come up with though! (I'd really prefer being able to download individual files vs syncing whole directories, though).
