tip for installing in Slacko

#76 Post by don570 »

Tip for installing in Slacko....

If you are installing Right-click in Slacko I recommend that
you first install gtkhash, but it must be this updated version-->

http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... 008#586008

Then install Right-click-5.4.pet

You must be careful though, because previous versions
of gtkhash might cause damage to your installation of Slacko!!!!!

new version 5.6

minor fix

1) A message in Bacon recorder was changed

2) Removed wrong instructions in ffconvert.

They were dumb instructions :oops: I've studied ffconvert and
I now understand how to use it now.

I haven't been around lately so I don't know if someone has suggested this yet. How about adding compression options? You know, Compress file to 'formatx', Compress folder to 'formatx', Uncompress here, Uncompress in 'foldernamedafterfile'. I think .tar.gz and .zip should be enough to compress to, and include more formats to uncompress. What d'you think?

It's not my script but I could probably rewrite it so that the user
chooses the destination. Jemimah has a feature in
Fluppy linux to make the folder into an email attachment. I should
look into that feature to see how it's done.

new version 5.8

#85 Post by don570 »

new version 5.8...

Upgraded to conversion_audio-1.5.

This app gives a menu option for
audio files to 'Convert to mp3' or
'Convert to wav'.

I give a rough estimate of time needed to convert.
(It should be accurate if you have a fast machine) and a window will
show the conversion process.

hi don570

hows about, right click on a binary to run ldd on it in a terminal

I looked at Fluppy to see how attachments to email
are handled. Jemimah wrote a simple script to add
the attachments but it's for the 'claws' email program
which supports launching with a file to be attached to
your message. Not many people use the claws email program
so I won't put it in.

Are people forgetting that the user is supposed to

give user the question 'to add to existing archive or

new version 5.9

improvements:

1) additional preset for ffconvert 'WMA2WAV'
to help inexperienced users convert wma audio files to wav

2) 3 additional right click options added for audio.
The most important being converting wma and flac audio to wav

I'm glad to see someone is working :lol:

I'm working on a package that will rename files in a folder.

For instance does anybody know where there's a script to rename
files in a given folder according to modification date

fileX fileY fileZ to fileX000 fileY001 fileZ003

(the sorting depends on modification date of the file
rather than alphabetical)

I have been researching examples of file renaming on the internet
to see what is possible, but didn't find this particular solution.

______________________________________________________


I think I'll do 'ls -t' to generate a file with the names in it.

then do 'cat -n' to put numbers on the line.

then make a loop to go through the file line by line.

It'd be very useful, I'm using it sometimes under Windowze ("FileMenu Tools" application).
Could be something like this?

Code: Select all

#!/bin/bash

# batchaddnum by SFR'2012
# Usage: batchaddnum <folderpath> (DO NOT USE ENDING / PLEASE!)

FOLDERPATH=$1

# Dump all filenames from FOLDERPATH into temporary file
# 'ls -t' option sorts filenames in date order ('-tr' for reversed date order)
# 'tail -n +2' removes "Total..." line
# 'egrep -v '^d' removes directories and '^l' removes links
# next 'cut's to leave only filename

ls "$FOLDERPATH" -A -o -t | tail -n +2 | egrep -v '^d' | egrep -v '^l' | cut -f2- -d ':' | cut -b 4- > /tmp/batchfileslist

# And finally rename all files adding numeric suffix

CNT=1
while read LINE; do
  OLDNAME=$FOLDERPATH"/"$LINE
  if [ ${#CNT} -eq 1 ]; then CNT="00"$CNT; fi
  if [ ${#CNT} -eq 2 ]; then CNT="0"$CNT; fi  
  NEWNAME=$OLDNAME$CNT
  mv "$OLDNAME" "$NEWNAME"
  let CNT=10#$CNT+10#1
done < /tmp/batchfileslist

rm -f /tmp/batchfileslist
exit
It's just an example, not optimized nor extensively tested, but works with hidden files as well as spaces in file- and foldernames, excludes folders and symlinks, and should be easy to expand.

Also, I've been thinking about using find FOLDERNAME -maxdepth 1 -type f, then stat -c %Y FILENAME and then join times and filenames and use sort...

Hope I saved you some time.

Thanks for the info. I didn't see it in time so I used
my own crude method. :oops:

You can test it here.



http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic. ... 812#612812

I have prepared a nice right click option package
to do renaming of filenames with lots of features
but I found a nasty bug so I can't release it!!
I'll continue to work on it.

New version 5.9.1

#94 Post by don570 »

New version 5.9.1 of right-click

I added or changed three apps

1) Baconrecorder 2.7 - just cosmetic changes

2) Rename-files 1.3 - I wrote this to make some simple changes
to filenames when the files are in a folder

3) dependency check by RSH - version .3 -- uses ldd command

It is still being improved by RSH. There is a better version that will
check libraries.
