Maybe this was posted already. Heh.
Can someone cook up a program that when run, separates every file in a directory into a folder based on its filetype, then names teh folder whatever the extention is.
It would ignore folders already placed and only separate files in the directory.
Also, it would ignore case (jpg vs JPG).

Call it Directclean or something.

1000 internets to this person.
I love you [person who does this].

Alright, I've made this one. Hopefully it's what you are looking for. It's written in pure C, so it might make your computer explode if not used properly. I've tested it on quite a few directories without any problem, but I reccomend you try it out on a test dir to see if its doing what you want.

http://www.tinyappz.com/wiki/DirSort

It's a simple command-line program:
code:
DirSort <dir-name>
I've included my hideous source-code, but you'll need the bstring lib if you want to compile. Also, it's strictly for windows as it makes heavy use of the win32 api.

Thanks Friend.
Your prize of 1000 internets is awarded.

One thing though, any chance of reversing that program too to get an app that dumps all files in all folders (or as many levels as you designate) to dump into a certain directory.

Id have a sorter and a mixer...would be useful.

How'd you guys learn C# if you don't mind me asking.
Is there a kickass book out there somewhere you all recommend?
Id like to code programs and I'm trying to learn.

I've been using a tiny goon-made application that somebody posted in SHSC years ago named UnzipDL. Unfortunately my hard drive failed yesterday so I've lost it and I can't remember said goon's username.

Basically it's a single executable and an ini file which contains a location, for example 'C:\Unzipped'. Then you download a zip with Firefox and tell it to open it with UnzipDL and check the "do this automatically for file like this form now on" checkbox

After that, every time you click on a link to a zip file Firefox automatically downloads it and the contents of the file are immediately extracted to the location you set in the ini file into a folder with the same name as the zip file.
For example if the unzip location is 'C:\Unzipped' and you download the file 'abc.zip' then the contents of the zip file are extracted to 'C:\Unzipped\abc'

The program has absolutely no UI except for a small "unzipping" notification that appears in the center of the screen. As soon as it finishes extracting the zip the program exits.

Anybody feel like making this? Or if the original creator is reading this, can you post it again? I'm pretty much dependent on it now

Whew, This was a challenge for me because im a C# newb.

It works with firefox and windows context Open with dialogs.
It doesnt pop up and say its unzipping in the center, but it does unzip.

If it explodes im sorry, i stopped after all the static and public non-static stuff boggled my mind.

I named it DickyUnzip but i can change the name if you want.

Youll need to download a patcher for UTxtheme.dll or whatever.

There is a flash app for a free add-on to FIFA 11 where you buy/sell player cards (using in-game currency)

The commands are sent in http plaintext, what I'd like to do is be able to send a customized http command that makes the auction time for cards I'm selling 60 seconds (the lowest the flash app allows is an hour)

Interesting. I'd like to take a stab at this in C# but i'll have to know more.

edit: ^^ well nevermind then
