If you would like a forums upgrade or an AV gift certificate or whatever just let me know. Thanks!

I've recently been hired at a company that's deemed me fit to manage inventory as part of my duties. Currently, this means keeping a few googledocs spreadsheets updated with item names, serial numbers, date in/out, and if out, where the item is going to. The "live" inventory is reconciled monthly, then the master inventory list, which contains every item to ever come through our doors, is updated with the new info. I'm wondering if there's any way to streamline the process a bit. We have a Wasp cordless bar code scanner, which works nicely, but isn't an amazing help by itself. Would it be feasible to have a small program written that has a(possibly editable) drop down menu of the items we carry, a button for whether the item is coming into inventory or leaving inventory, a text box for the items serial number, and a text box for destination, if any? The idea being that when an item comes into inventory, we can select the model from the drop down box, scan the serial bar code, and push a button to have a googledocs spreadsheet updated with the new info and a time stamp for when it was added. When an item leaves inventory, we would just select that it's leaving, what model it is, scan the serial, input the destination, and then the program would find that item's line in the googledocs inventory sheet and update it with the new timestamp and info.

I need to download the targets of 300 links on a particular web page. I have no desire to right-click + "Save As" 300 times, but I also don't know much about scripting. Could someone please write what I'm sure would be 8 lines of code that would take me days to learn? Edit: I should add that the links are all of the form '<a href="Filename_base_####.ext"> Filename_base_####.ext</a>', where "Filename_base" and "ext" are the same for all 300 targets, and the #### range from 0000 to 0299. Edit edit: This is for either Windows 7, or for Linux. Either is fine, though Windows would be easier. Edit 3: Question answered in a different thread. Was directed to the Firefox extension DownThemAll!, at http://www.downthemall.net/. Consider this request satisfied! Grundulum fucked around with this message at 21:18 on Nov 25, 2013 |

I'm looking for something that will allow me to quickly sort a bunch of photos I have. Basically the interface I would like would have the picture, and then a yes/no voting system using keys on the keyboard or clicking. Clicking one direction would cause the photo to go into one folder, and another key would put it into a different folder. An additional, but unnecessary feature would be that you could click once to change the orientation of the picture. So for example, if the picture is upside-down, I would just need to click once to flip it right side up instead of clicking rotate 90 degrees, rotate 90 degrees. Thanks so much!

I've been re-ripping my CDs lately, but some things I've lost, so I'll just have to keep them mp3s. I'd like to just copy everything into one folder, then run some sort of script that will check for duplicate tags and delete mp3s in the case of duplicates.

I'd like to request an app for Windows that, when the user runs it, will take files from a certain network location and place/replace them with files on their local machine. I know it sounds stupidly easy and I think it can be accomplished with a batch script but I'm not sure where to start.

Thank you! This is great. Is there a way to select a certain file rather than a directory (is it just \\server\path\thing.exe)? If I want to create a directory with mkdir is there a way I can set permissions? If I use xcopy will it retain the source directory's permissions? And (sorry) if the directory path has a space in it do I need to use %20 in its place? Sorry for all the questions. I have limited resources to test this with, and when I do it can potentially jack up an employee's work software, so I'm trying to get it right the first time.

TheEffect posted:And (sorry) if the directory path has a space in it do I need to use %20 in its place? xcopy "c:\path with space\file.txt" "\\server2\other path with space\" What I wanted to say is that you can just type help at the commandline to get available commands and that you can just type something line xcopy /? to get the available switches. All this stuff is pretty well documented on the internet as well. Typing mkdir /? shows me there are no specific options for creating permissions directly with mkdir, which means doing that will involve using some other command. (e: apparently called icacls ?)

There are some users in my Windows Network that create new Folders for certain tasks, to make things quicker they copy an existing folder tree and paste it to the new location. The folders start out empty and are filled with files oder time. I'd like to request an app (or windows explorer extension?) that automatically changes the folder icons, depending on their state. Basically folders with content show up differently than empty folders.

I was wondering if a very simplistic (famous last words) YouTube app was possible with the following functionality: One single window, with a drop-down at the top, listing your subscribed channels (by default only showing channels that have new videos), and the selected video below, and a preferences window where the user can input all their login info, sorting prefs, and other items. Yay/Nay? Hopefully for Mac, as that's what I'm on, but other systems would surely benefit from such an app.
