Mover (wcx): Packer plugin to separate files per number or date ...

[franck8244]

Yesterday I made a little wcx plugin to separate N files from a list for a french user. I have modify the dialog into english string (messages error are still in french, lazy me )

how does it work (consider this as the readme) :
-Number of file :
You have a file list with 1500 files and want to separate them into N folders (regarding only number):Select them all -> Alt+F5->choose 'mover' ->check Separate per file number->put a value in the edit box (between 1 & 10000)->press ok

The plugin creates N folders containing the desired number of files , the last one contains the "rest"

-Separate per date
Filelist->...->check separate per date
If you do not check other boxes it will uses only the year to create folder
otherwise the folder structure can be (example):
-Use day : 20050523 , 20050530, ...
-Use month : 200505, 200504

Folders will contains files with corresponding dates
That's all...

Wow, great ! Works quick and simple ...

Even some finetuning to do :

- if I select "Use day" option, it would be nice to have the according method automatic selected. (same for entering a number of files)
- if I deselect the method, it would be nice to have the options cleared.
- the path at the packing dialog is just ignored ...
- typo at the pluginst.inf (should read "type=wcx")

... keep on coding, it is very handy

Great plugin!

One thing...

Separate files depending on filetype:

-one folder for all .ZIP files
-one folder for all .EXE files
-one folder for all .GIF files

and so on...

the path at the packing dialog is just ignored

Yes it is, this is a plugin to help the user to "separate files", copying them would take too much time...
You should also not use it while in branch view (subpath is also ignored) : I have added a message in the dialog

For "auto selection" : it's not a "form", the dialog is included in a ressource file and I do not know how to update it (I'm knew to this kind of programming)...You can customize the source code
Pluginst.inf corrected

Separate files depending on filetype

Added

the link is the same, source code and french version can be found near the zip file...

Correct link to download the new version :
http://fgartemann.free.fr/TCMD/Plugins/Mover/Mover.zip

the link is the same

For me the link was not the same, it was an old version...

Thanks for the improvements and the source code

Nice, thanks!

I found a bug, if a file don't have a filetype, file gets deleted.

Corrected , files without type (extension) will not be moved...

I hope you haven't lost important data...

The next step would be to separate files by a content plugin field

It is necessary that together with files descriptions from files.bbs and descript.ion moved.

separate files by a content plugin field

It can be done but working with wdx is a pain... I won't add this into the plugin myself (someone else can... sources are there for)

It's the same for file.bbs or descript.ion ...

Hi,

for me it doesn't work as expected .
I have 9 Files and want to seperate them each in one single directory.
So i run the mover and enter 1 into the "Files per Folder" field.
I then get 5 ( ) directories, 3 with one file, 1 with 2 files
and 1 with 4 files.

My filenames are :

Code: Select all

DesktopOrganizer(PTBSync)-de.zip
hangman41.ZIP
menuApp104.zip
Mover.zip
procexpnt.zip
ResHack.zip
tclocklight-040702-3.zip
wcx_Mover_eng.zip
xpdfsearch_1.01.zip

The distribution is:

Code: Select all

Dir 01
DesktopOrganizer(PTBSync)-de.zip

Dir 02
hangman41.ZIP

Dir 03
menuApp104.zip
Mover.zip

Dir 04
procexpnt.zip
ResHack.zip
tclocklight-040702-3.zip
wcx_Mover_eng.zip

Dir 05
xpdfsearch_1.01.zip

Please fix this too.

Best regards

Clas

Confirm, I get simular error when splitting 9 files to folders with 1 and 2 files in each folder, when I select 3 or more files in each folder it works.

Sorry...,
I have no time at the moment but anyone can modify it ...
Even though I'll try to do it asap

[franck8244]

Here is the corrected version (now splitting is correct )

If you want to know : I was increasing the number of file per folder each time a new folder was created, the things is I used the current value-> 1+1 = 2 , 2+2 = 4 , etc

Great tool. Thanks for it.
It would be nice if it used other languages next to French (at least English)

If I use 'per Date' and select 'day' and 'month' together - it shows an info (I can't understand it - it French) and separate files 'per years'. Why?
