This might be a bit on the side of the topic, but i didnt see a similar thread in CoC so i bring my hopes here.

I found a greasemonkey script for ignoring users on a phpBB forum, and its working fine (even in Opera), but i have a feature request for also ignoring posts where ignored users are quoted.

Script is at http://userscripts.org/scripts/source/50036.user.js if there are any takers.

TL;DR Lack of moderation is turning a forum to poo poo, please help make it readable.

Its not actually for this forum, you see. Its a totally different one. It doesnt even look like this one. The other one, lets call it 'the other one', does not have a ignore user function, or much functionality at all beyond the very basics. But it has discussion that sometimes is good to follow, so i read, and try to get all the usefullness out of it that i can.

And it uses phpBB, not vbulletin (and certainly not the particular SA brand) , so im not so sure the one you linked will work there.

fatman1683: Jan 8, 2004; .

Since Chrome doesn't have this functionality, and nobody's made an extension for it yet, I need an app with which I can open any file and then have that file copied to a specified location.

I want to be able to one-click torrents in Chrome and have them automatically save to the monitored folder on my torrent box, but Chrome appears to be the only browser that doesn't have this feature.

Anyone feel like helping me out?

edit: It would also be nice if it had an option to delete the old file after it's been copied.

Whimsy: Jan 8, 2001

A while ago I requested an application that played a sound whenever a certain key was pressed. Specifically, I wanted to hear thunder whenever I pressed the underscore on my keyboard. The application was called Thunderscore.

Due to a recent unfortunate mishap, my PC isn't usable and so I can no longer use Thunderscore. I've bumped myself to a Mac for the time being.

Basically, I'm asking if anyone who programs for Mac OS 10.6 as a hobby could re-create the application. It should have the ability to assign audio to key presses (or random sounds to all presses).

If anyone picks this up, you'll have my sincere thanks!

Open notepad and paste this in, changing X:\torrents to your torrent autoload directory:

code:

move "%*" X:\torrents

save as "movetorrent.cmd" (save it somewhere safe), then set windows to open .torrent files with movetorrent.cmd and set Chrome to auto-open files of that type.

I'd love some kind of foobar2000 plugin that would let me hold control and click a song to add it to my playback queue. A friend of mine figured it wouldn't be hard for someone familiar with the program, so maybe? Maybe not.

Gucci Loafers: May 20, 2006; Ask yourself, do you really want to talk to pair of really nice gaudy shoes?

I posted this is the software forum too, but maybe I can figure this out here too.

I've got a drive with about 100k+ of files with all of these spread across some 600+ folders amounting to a total of 300Gbs+. All the folders are named appropriately, 1,2,3,56,57,102,etc.

code:

Parent Folder
-1(Folder)
-2
-3(expanded folder)
+fileblah.001
+fileblah.002
+fileblah.003

What I need to do is put these files into a zip, of course I really don't want a 300gb zip, so I'm thinking I could do a bunch of 5GB+ zips.

My question is, is XCOPY capable of at least moving these all into one folder? Or am I going to have to program something to do this, and if so how would I figure this out in Java? I know a bit, but if someone could point me in the right direction, that'd help and I could probably take it from there.

xcopy can be used to copy entire directory structures, but it doesn't have options to delete the files afterward (i.e. move).

I'm a little unclear on what exactly you're trying to do; you'll have to be more specific.

If you want to stuff everything from folder '1' into '1.zip' and repeat for all folders you could probably script that pretty easily.

If you want to keep adding files from sequential folders until you hit 5 gigs (e.g. let's say it works out to adding everything form folder '1' and half the stuff from '2'), you'll probably want to write a program. Or ask someone to do it, since that's the kind of thread this is.

Or just zip the root folder with a zip program that lets you zip a file into multiple files(parts) of a specific size. I think 7zip does this?

That'd work too, but I just remembered that they'll need to be a several .txts in each folder, so when I upload these to the server it knows what to do with the files.

Yea, I guess XCOPY isn't going to delete anything which is fine with me, I actually really don't want anything deleted until I know once I've uploaded this, everything works.

I'm still not sure what you're wanting exactly, but when I have similar problems, I open Explorer to the root folder and craft a search that shows all the files I want, then I select them all and copy to wherever.

For example, if I have a bunch of .jpg files spread among a bunch of folders and nested to various degrees, I search for *.jpg, then select the results and copy/paste.

This works on Vista/7.

Weird, outputting .zip files from 7zip should be the same as doing it with windows or whatever. I think winrar does this too.

I've tried this but mass selecting and searching for 300GBs+ of files make Windows Explorer crash and I'm even on a relatively new Intel C2D plus I'll probably doing this several times in the not so distant future.

Anyway, if anyone wants to write a program or script this is what I need. A program that goes through specified folders, pulls out what's inside and compresses those files.

Steps
1)Looks through the directories, all the folders are named such as 1,2,3,45,47,655,656,etc
2)Copies these files
3)Puts these into a zip with a name such as 1to50.zip
4)Pulls index information from \index, and into the zip, basically copies all *.txts
5)Does this for every 10GBs

If someone could program this, that'd be awesome. I know a little java, and if someone could point me into the right direction I could probably do it. I think :ohdear:

EDIT I did mess around with 7zip, command line but I didn't figure out a way on how to pull the information from the subdircts without keeping it.

Not enough info given.

Are all the folders under one parent dir, or are any folders nested in other folders?

Do any files inside of each folder have the same name as files in other folders?

What about the .txt files? Do they have conflicting names? Are they all in the index folder...like \656\index\*.txt?

1) They're all in one parent directory, and then 600+ other directories.

2) No

3) They're in \index and those .txts files need to be in each zip.

Don't worry about it, this thread is always kind of dead; the last big bump was Sept 27 to Oct 21.

Anyway, if I'm reading that right you could use Notepad++. Under Settings->Preferences->Misc you can tell it to "Update Silently" and it will watch the file and keep the editor up-to-date. You can also right-click the file's tab and enable read-only mode, at which point you basically have a log viewer.

Edit: Just tested this and, while it works well, Notepad++ has to lose and regain focus for it to update. Just a heads up.

If you open up the script for editing you can change the width percentage.

You will also find instructions for making it resize specific page elements instead, so you can have it just resize the forum tables if you don't mind doing a tiny bit of css/javascript. The SA forums are already set up for you.

Not sure how active this thread is anymore, but I have a request.

There is a flash app for a free add-on to FIFA 11 where you buy/sell player cards (using in-game currency)

The commands are sent in http plaintext, what I'd like to do is be able to send a customized http command that makes the auction time for cards I'm selling 60 seconds (the lowest the flash app allows is an hour)

Basically so my cards will sell faster. I know this is possible as people on the forum for the game have done it, but won't share how.

Here is as far as I've got, a screenshot from wireshark of the relevant command the game sends, basically want to change the duration to 60 seconds. Also the buy now price can go as low as 50 but the webapp limits it to 200, it'd be cool to modify that as well

If there is already a way I could do this that'd be cool. Just something fun to mess around with.

I have a webapp account someone could use to test, and I'd be willing to pay a bit of money for your time.

Fermunky: May 30, 2003; The monkey is NOT impressed...

Cross posting this from another thread I made.

Need a smart folder organizer script/app specifically for my music

I'll spare you how I've gotten to this point, but here are some tid bits of what I have prior to asking my question... All my music files are named "Artist - Song.mp3" format. ALL ID3 info was wiped, and then updated with only the Artist and Song titles. Then iTunes was used (intentionally) to try and organize the files into folders (all songs were in a single folder). I was not aware iTunes would use a \Artist\Album\ folder structure, so now I have a zillion \Artist\Unknown Album\ folders...

I would like to use some sort of folder organizing script or app that will basically run through all my folders and anything under \Artist\Unknown Album\* moved to \Artist\*

I really do not care about having my album info in the ID3 tag, or being able to organize it by the album info. I know this may go against popular MP3 organizational methods, but I do not really share my stuff with anyone else, and do not use any MP3 player features like making playlists based on genre etc.

Thanks in advance for any info.
