Is there anything that fit's into the general XYplorer style of functions but isn't implemented yet (but can be done through scripting)?
I'm looking for something that could be fun to create.
Perhaps it will be useful and interesting. Archive with thumbnails and descriptions.
Convenient to keep old files in the archives, but there is a drawback to this method - poor visual perception and search for the content.
I suggest to make our archives which were more convenient for work, search and indexation.
Most often, information is sought in two ways - to browse the directory (on the cover and title), or any local search.
In this way, each file should / want / must provide a description - pictures, and text.
Well suited for this standard image files - jpg. It is possible to introduce a comment - the necessary textual information.
The concept:
a) Combine image files .Jpg to .Rar archives
b) In the files .Jpg add the necessary information.
1. Archiving your files
Better to use WinRar. Then a bit of advertising the application
. In the subsequent work with archives WinRar tracks changes to files and offers to add them to an existing archive. Though other programs have a similar function.
2. Attach a picture illustrating the contents of the archive command (Save as .bat file):
Code: Select all
@echo off
if /I %~x1==%~x2 exit
if /I %~x1 NEQ .jpg (if /I %~x2 NEQ .jpg exit)
if /I %~x1 NEQ .rar (if /I %~x2 NEQ .rar exit)
if /I %~x1==.jpg (
copy /b %1+ %2 "%~d1%~p1%~n1 rarjpg.jpg"
) else (
copy /b %2+%1 "%~d2%~p2%~n2 rarjpg.jpg")
At the end of the name to add the word
rarjpg to use color labels(name:*rarjpg*) to distinguish files from simple images, and to open such a file in Portable File Associations™ (*rarjpg.jpg>C:\Program Files\...)
3. Add a description, which will be available for indexing by search engines, and file info tips.
You can use IrfanView: Image\information\IPTC info\Caption...
Obtain the file, which can be edited with an illustration and description.
Example image, save and open in WinRar or 7z:

All this can be done by hand, but it is better to automate. If you are interested and have the opportunity to write a script.
P.S. My English is not very good, but I hope to have written clearly.
Honestly, I don't know! (I know that TC uses them as comment database)
