With long filenames the Spectate app can not only find every .exe file.
But fire it up. Immediately
Finding is the last step before execution.. Just finding and not firing 'em up is weak.
Yup I can catalog and find any file types...
I haven't done .exe's yet. but it should be easy.
Instead of a load picture or run video.. I'd fire up the exe
Thanks that will solve my problem with the few that I use.
Paint.exe being the main one.
Others can find and use the special routines and...
Blockage cleared.
I prioritize doing new video and curating 'em asap.
and
putting curation older ones on the back burner.
I'm always more interested in fresh fresh more than old and un cataloged stuff.
Any newbie young or old can benefit from looking at GREAT code that does everything a Searcher wants.
It is spaghetti and not to be feared.
It's all in 1 program
Learn to flowchart too.
I needed to do a flow chart when fixing the line wrap and highlight routine.
You'll need a PC and a copy...
Regular file systems are pathetic.
The biggest plus of having long filenames and a GREAT search, is I no longer have Video and Picture block...
Caused by having way too many videos and pics that are unorganized, so I have very little impulse to shoot more.
Not anymore for me and my Swampies...
I respect every inquiry... Just as if they were sitting right across from Me.
Waaaayyy more respect in person. I guess.
if you have windows give it a spin
check the source code if you want to see how simple this app is.
Everything you need to know about search is there.... Yup
You'll need to...
Sorry my first answer wasn't that thought out.
The first step in accessing the videos or pics... Is to create a catalog list of all files on a drive or folder.
THEN
I can open that list in any text editor and look OR just open the folder and look at the file names.
Having a very good search...
You are smart. Very smart. and thanks for the info.
Part of having long filenames; is the ability to rename the previous 8 character ones
My app has the ability to copy selected pics into another folder... For sending to friends....
It should be quite simple to change that to a Copy / Rename...
Using long filenames like I do is quite simple.
Not much programming is required.
First do a complete scan of the device, putting the details in a text file.
(the code exists in my source) if you don't know how.
Then create a simple search that will find the desired photo or video and Play /...
