You now that this is not LEGAL ???

Read the post carefully: "OWNERS of Nero 6.....".The package allows you to change the serial to your personal copy. Naturally you would, wouldn't you? I cetainly did.

[Sir_SiLvA]

So then why is a SERIAL in the RegFile in the pakage ?

[majkinetor !]

Why don't U say your reall name, madam Albright


I don't like to repeat myself, expecially when I earn humiliating moderation points, but...

... shut your faulty moth madam


Anyway, there is Portable Photoshop CS version for all those who care, available on the same space... just search a little, I wont post a link because of this rude lady here, but I am sure you can all handle Google there...

For those who can't I recommend "Hacking Google" by Oreally.

2 Sir Silva:

So then why is a SERIAL in the RegFile in the pakage ?

Possibly because The Creator was too busy congratulating himself at his cleverness to remember to add instructions to correct the reg file??
You'll have to edit it anyway once you've put in your personal serial. Not too tough to do, I hope?

Of course all the fine folk of this forum will have already done so without bitching and moaning about it, I imagine. And if they haven't yet then shall they be consigned to the deepest darkest depths of hell to be tormented for all eternity by terrifying beings with pointy tails and dressed in red jump-suits.

2 majkinator !:

Hi guy, how's it hangin'? No thrills here too man, the supermodel business is in recession. I'm intoxicated, but not with this forum - sometimes it's like watching paint dry! Even icfu seems to have disappeared. Looks like Tiny Nero has stirred up The dreaded Tiger (subspecies Panthera tigris annoyensis) anyway so we may be in for a bit more kicking and screaming to relieve the boredom, with a bit of luck.

Hacker sure is fast with his asterisks - must have a bag full ready to pour over your posts!

[majkinetor !]

Don't mention trivial, badly done, low tech cylons in front off me - I am currently examing Build Your Own Reptile Robot & Anatomy Of Robots to see what exactly went wrong with this particular model (books can be previewed kindly at www.AvaxHome.ru among with some very cool jazz music and other highly interesting things)

Icfu has not dissapeard, he is in extremely borred state now.

But, you, my favorite Naomi, it seems like you are enjoying every slow micro movement of this community, probably searching the ancient books for correct meanings (I-Ching ?), probably for some seminar work of your night classes.... Must be that human race was overfeeded with super models singing, dancing, sayings "For the sake of the children" so new trends dictate you to take some serious sociological classes in order to stay in the buisnis.

Right ?

[1] Hardcore junction junkies, this is for you. Hermann Schinagl's excellent program NTFS Link Shell Extension puts junctions, hard links, and hard-linked directory clones just a right-click away.

It adds a REFERENCE field to the shell to display junction names and track the link count so it integrates nicely along with TC's custom columns and Lefteous' ShellDetails content plugin.

Unfortunately the useful icon overlay indicating a junction is only visible with Explorer.

NOTE: Hard links are no problem, but junctions (reparse points) are for experienced users only. To repeat Schinagl's warning:

"Junctions are nice feature, but also a very dangerous one.
Explorer gets weird, if you want to delete folders, which are junctioned.
Explorer does not only delete the junction, but also the files which are in the referenced folder.
To help you distinguish if it is a junction or a folder junctions contain small piece of chain in the icon of the folder."

And MS says:

"Never delete a junction point by using Explorer, a del /s command, or other file system utilities that walk recursively into directory trees. These utilities affect the target directory and all subdirectories."

Use the Delete Junction function provided on the right-click menu or mountvol on the command line.

If you ignore this you will look like him ------>

[2] Stream Explorer is a nice utility which gives a more detailed view of alternate data streams than is available with custom columns.

Convert archives in TC with ComArc / ArcConvert from Dirk Paehl

You can allways find the newest version there:
http://archivconvert.sourceforge.net/

Because I often use it, I implemented it into my TC.
To work properly ComArc and its included files have to be in the same folder as ArcConvert.

The Path to com_convert.exe should be in the Path environment.
I have it between my environment vars.

To use WinRAR or WinAce you should edit their path in ArcConvert's external.conf.

For my commonly used conversion operations the entries in the user menu are as follows (at this moment converts one single archive):

Code: Select all

menu25=-Convert 7Z/ZIP/CAB/LHA/TAR/TGZ/BZ2/YZ1/BGA/RAR/ACE archives
menu26=Convert to 7Z
cmd26=com_convert
param26=""%P%N" 7z"
menu27=Convert to ZIP
cmd27=com_convert
param27=""%P%N" zip"
menu28=Convert to RAR
cmd28=com_convert
param28=""%P%N" rar"
menu29=--

Now I would like to have batch file or autohotkey script for use in TC's user menu or its button bar.

Something like this:

Code: Select all

@echo off
FOR ....... read the lines of the given temporary file list
com_convert "%1" %2

If there's someone with better batch knowledges - like Sheepdog - he could write a loop into the batch which takes
"all needed parameters of some marked files" from a temporary list.

[HolgerK]

Code: Select all

FOR ....... read the lines of the given temporary file list
com_convert "%1" %2

If there's someone with better batch knowledges - like Sheepdog - he could write a loop into the batch which takes
"all needed parameters of some marked files" from a temporary list.

Try this:

Code: Select all

FOR /F  "tokens=*" %%i in (%1) do com_convert "%%i" %2 

Regards
Holger

[TychoBarfy]

Holger, some small questions. %1 stands for the temporary file list %L in TC?

And %% thats why my batches didn't work before
OK, I'll see.
If I'm too confused now I'll post tomorrow

[HolgerK]

Holger, some small questions. %1 stands for the temporary file list %L in TC?

That's right.
There was a similar question in the german board: http://www.ghisler.ch/board/viewtopic.php?p=83862#83862
And it works fine for this problem.

Regards
Holger

[majkinetor !]

U use %% for FOR variables in batch, while for the same command in console u must use % for. Run FOR /? too see for yourself.

[TychoBarfy]

There's a problem. The temporary list file is created correctly with
correct content, each line contains path and name of an archive
and com_convert shows
Unpacking
Repacking
Unpacking
Repacking
Unpacking
Repacking
...
in the console window as it should.
But no archive is converted.

[majkinetor !]

You should echo full command line instead of calling the app:

app arg1 arg2 arg3...

Use
echo app arg1 arg2 arg3

and see if those lines work when you paste them in cmd line.

Also, one typical error are long names and spaces. U should be carefull with this (U can use dos names, or place "" on filenames, like "%1")

[TychoBarfy]

Now it works.


Sample from the Starter menu:

Code: Select all

menu24=--
menu25=-Convert archives
menu26=To 7Z ...
cmd26=cconv3
param26=%L 7z
....
menu36=To ZIP ...
cmd36=cconv3
param36=%L zip
menu37=--

Content of conv3.bat:

Code: Select all

@ECHO OFF
FOR /F "tokens=*" %%I IN (%1) DO com_convert "%%I" %2

Path to ArcConvert folder is in PATH environment, conv3.bat lies in ArcConvert folder.
Or you write:

Code: Select all

@ECHO OFF
SETLOCAL
SET PATH=%PATH%;C:\PathToArcView
FOR /F "tokens=*" %%I IN (%1) DO com_convert "%%I" %2
ENDLOCAL

Note: empty folders are only supported by zip to zip and 7z to 7z, rar to rar and so on. Some formats even don't support empty folders
Be sure to quote paths or filnames containing spaces.
