Try posting this on a WordPress developers forum, there might to be enough off the shelf plugins that a developer ought to be able to put it together for you for $1500-3000 plus maintenance fees. What you're describing would bill for at least 100 hours including initial setup and support. There's a bunch of software as a service sites that might offer what you're looking for in the $5-75/mo range

If you're in the USA and this is a Democratic campaign, SmartVAN is also an option, though has less of the volunteer management. I've used both. The mobile app integration and turf cutting for canvassing is better with SmartVAN but NationBuilder is the better "general" campaign solution. If you need free, CiviCRM is an option though it is a lot more work to get up and running. I'm always looking for advice though. Want to PM me on Twitter? @PerennialFuckUp.

I've never used C# before, I've never made a GUI before, this hasn't been thoroughly tested, I'm a shameful programmer and the source will probably make people upset.

Ptarmigans posted:Request Fill I want to make love to your face Thank you! The only weirdness has to do with what I'm assuming is some kind of Regional setting: If you look at the "Time between captures", it's like it's reading it as a clock time, rather than an interval, to the point where if you replace the "12" with "00", it goes back to 12 automatically. What you're seeing actually does function as a 5 minute interval, so it's not like it's broken, it's just kind of funny to look at. nexxai fucked around with this message at 17:40 on Apr 29, 2018 |

Would someone take another crack at this? It works and I actually use it all the time, but it crashes a lot now. Also if file size and CRC-32 are the same is a 3rd check really necessary in normal circumstances? Hogburto posted:Is making a duplicate file finder a little too large in scope for this thread?

What would be the desired output format from this? Do you need to machine read it or do you just want the list of duplicates for human consumption? How do you use the output? Yes, the 3rd check is necessary because you can't know if the files are the same without actually checking if they are the same inside. The most you can do without is to say for sure they are not the same (e.g. because contents cannot match if checksum does not match). EssOEss fucked around with this message at 10:03 on Aug 8, 2018 |

The previous program had a function to delete all but 1 file from each matched set that I used to use after double-checking the file list for anything strange.EssOEss posted:contents cannot match if checksum does not match

# ? Aug 8, 2018 10:17 |
|
So the goal is to delete duplicates? Does it matter which one? This seems like an easy app to make but having some more specific requirements on what it needs to do would be good. Be as specific as you can. The byte for byte comparison is necessary if the checksums match. A matching checksum says "these might be the same" - you need to check the contents to make sure.

I think it looked like this before? Might help in the duplication process.

Can anyone make me a tampermonkey plugin which automatically replaces SA emote abbreviations with the correct image? The specific use-case is that I'm reading an old LP from the archives where the author used more emotes than are now supported by the forums, so in longer posts they just start showing up as the bare text, which annoys me.

Humble Request Problem: I, like probably every other IT professional and other disciplines, get emails from offshore recruiters that don't read what I do and offer crappy positions. I never want a 3-month helpdesk contract in Boise. I own a house in New Jersey. This is all in Gmail. Description and requirements: I want to have some kind of one-click solution to take the domain name they're sending from and instantly create a filter which will then mark all future emails from that domain get marked as read and then deleted. I'd rather not report them as spam because I worry the filter will block legit recruiters. It needs to be easier than the current manual steps: select "filter messages like this," change From to "*@shittyrecruiters.com", clicking "Create Filter," then selecting "Mark as read" and "Delete it" then clicking "Create filter." If it helps, I'll screen-record an example. Nice to have features: Make it a single button that's clickable as a Chrome extension. I leave it to the request filler as to how this will work. Another good feature: your Paypal or Venmo address to receive $20 from me for doing this. I'd also like to be able to share it with other professionals; whoever creates this would be a hero to many people. MJP fucked around with this message at 15:04 on Sep 13, 2018 |

Want to add from IMDb into adjacent columns: director, top actors, synopsis, avg rating, number of raters. The input is your Excel/csv file and the output is what exactly? Do you prefer to add new movies with a GUI or just adding to Excel and re-running? Just thinking out loud: Should be doable with IMDB data, but user will need their own API key which I think is free. A quick google search tells me there are two other movie databases but similarly neither respond to anonymous requests. May as well use IMBD if that is the case. I think the way I would do it is; take Excel input, populate all the titles and rate limited fill them in depending on the API's rules. Maybe show a progressbar or simple GUI with all the titles filling with data, then export when done. Maybe store the discovered data for any future executions because I'm thinking things would get hairy if supplied a 1000 row excel.

I'd like a copy of this if it gets completed (my spreadsheet has 3600 rows, though). I think you'll run into issues not being able to determine which IMDB entry belongs to which movie. Even with Plex scraping and fairly good movie names I had to manually identify about 100 of the 3600 entries on mine. Maybe if the entries had IMDB tags (i.e. tt3778644) but without that I think the margin of error can be quite high on scrapes. I really wish there was a way to export the Plex metadata for a library (info, album art, etc).

I doubt there's a way around the need to manually review every entry, but I don't mind. It should be fairly clear just flipping through it if the scrape is wrong. On the bright side, it probably helps that I have my sheet in Movie (Year) format rather than filenames. e: I guess one way to do it would be to make the script interactive and prompt you to either confirm or provide a correct IMDb link if it's not very confident that it has a match, kind of like FileBot? Or to have an interactive mode where you have to do this for every entry? KOTEX GOD OF BLOOD fucked around with this message at 22:20 on Sep 24, 2018 |

Including the (Year) in cloumn A should increase positive matches - "datapoints" specifies what data will be copied into Excel Caveats: The Excel file is not saved automatically, and must be done by the user once complete. Columns are not labeled automatically, but that wouldn't be too hard to add. Incorrect movie titles ("Mask" should be "The Mask") will not be corrected. Only searches movies. Screenshot:

Holy poo poo I can't believe this works!! Thanks so much. Is there any way to increase the likelihood it will find a match? It seems to be finding info probably 75% of the time. How does the threshold value work? Also PM me your paypal address. Thanks again, very excited about this!
|
# ? Oct 8, 2018 19:22 |
I think the best way to get a match would be to ensure every movie has a year. But you can adjust the "titlematchsimilaritythreshold" to a higher number as well. Sadly the API doesn't provide it's own confidence indication on searches. If you can't seem to get some movies to match please post or PM them and I'll take a look. One thing that is I forgot to make clear; that API has a limit of 1,000 queries per day so it'll take at least 2 to fill your sheet. The script is not smart enough to stop but it will just stop editing the Excel when it stops getting valid data back.

Yeah, I got myself an upgraded api key through their patreon account good for 120,000 queries a day for $1. Thanks for the offer, hopefully I’ll be able to figure it out on my own and just plug in the rest manually. Interestingly, setting the threshold value to 1 seems to yield the best results.

Humble Request Problem: I need to append two or three characters to the end of a PDF before sending to a vendor. But after doing this manually in explorer for many dozens of times it gets old. Example original PDF name is "part.pdf". Description and requirements: I would like a Windows Explorer right-click pick list that lets me rename the PDF as "part_-.A.pdf" or "part_1.pdf". The list ideally has a list of options from A-Z for the first format, and 0-10 for the second. The list is just long and doesn't require clicking arrows or scrolling. I have a big monitor... Nice to have features: Makes a fart noise to cheer me up. But the fart noise can be disabled. Or it magically knows where to look in the PDF file itself to see what the rename should be, because it's in a revision control block. The latter sounds implausible. Note: this isn't really something for a batch software I think. The PDFs are generated throughout the day and it's onesie twosies.
