Re: Standardize Track Numbers

The reason I posted these, rather than more elaborate things that I've done, is that I find XY the most useful with a big handful of micro-utilities. In fact, you could think of just using the interface that way (mostly - some things it does are pretty elaborate). So even though these are hardly sho...

Standardize Track Numbers

Since I posted that last, I thought I'd post this too. It's pretty straightforward, but handy. This standardizes track numbers to two digits, padded, with a dot space on the end. If there are three or four digits, it assumes a CD was present and puts it in ##-##dotspace. It cleans off old formatting...

Since Don is improving caps handling, I thought I'd post this.

This takes a filename and corrects the caps - mostly, and conservatively - if a file is in Title Case. I use another script to handle roman numerals, for example, if I need it. Or to convert to and from roman numerals. I mostly use this for media files. The beginning has a refresher grammar guide fo...

How about putting "File Special" in the context menu?

"File Special" in the right click mouse context menu would be consistent with WIndows, would make sense right beneath "Rename Special," and I believe it would get more use generally.

rename b, "JustASingleFile.jpg", , , 8; //Flag 8 = increment on conflict This will rename a single file from "JustASingleFile.jpg" to "JustASingleFile-01.jpg". I would expect a single selected file rename to not be identified as a conflict to increment - even if one is ...

Re: +++ BREAKING NEWS: XY Switches Programming Language +++

Don, I just read this whole thread. I've been trying to ignore the forums lately and let you get your work done. But the way things stand now, I've got to put in my two bits: 1) You are an amazingly patient and gracious human being. 2) XY does what it does extremely well. 3) Don, have fun doing what...

I find this tiny little utility for creating PDFs from JPGs Useful

Here's some commented, exceedingly simple, code with links in comments. This program is extraordinarily fast. I just gave up my Adobe subscription so was looking for a quick, free, command line PDF tool. This handles some needs very well. It doesn't do any OCR. It isn't very sophisticated. But it's ...

Re: [AHK] redirecting Windows Explorer to XY

Thank you, for the third time, for all your work and your recent updates. This is a very nice script. :appl: You liked my little AHK for opening the 64-bit context menu on Win Right-Click. Win key is a little finicky, so it has to be done this way: ;***XYPlorer*** ;Shows 64-bit context menu on Win-R...

Autosize =0 Still Keeps a Restricted Size

I have truncate files in the middle set (very nice feature, btw) -- but autosize = 0 should still autosize to full, no truncate width, imho. This happens even with single pane and few columns.

XY, character sets, and cmd.exe

I'm an American and know too little about character sets and command line programs - especially where I don't need to see the output at a command prompt, just let a utility talk with XY. My main reason for this is my love of classical music and weird results I get between various programs. After som...

Re: +++ BREAKING NEWS: XY Switches Programming Language +++

Good luck, Don. This is such a mature, feature-rich app, and so well tested and debugged, letting it sit for six months or a year won't hurt a thing. As is, XY will be keeping everyone happy in the meantime. Regardless of where things go in the future, you've really created a fantastic tool as it st...

Re: [AHK] redirecting win explorer windows to XY

Mostly, I just wanted to give you a sincere thank you. Here's another: Thank you! :appl: The only odd thing about this- and this is my bad for not knowing enough about AHK - is that if one pauses the script, it still continues operating: One needs to exit in order to turn it off temporarily, which I...

This is a few years old, but still incredibly useful. Thank you - really! Solves a problem with several programs I really wish had a custom browser feature - and had even requested of the developers in a couple of cases. I went through the control panel (so far) and updated the excludes for Win 10. ...

Re: Is the easiest way to script downloading a file from the net Paste Clipboard as Item?

*facepalm* How I missed/forgot about the download command I do not know.

*I didn't mean download it into the clipboard. If you have a URL in the clipboard paste as item will download it.

And thank you for your time!
