I got one. I would like a Windows app that does this:

1. I give it a folder name

2. I give it a target size

3. I give it a file extension (or a list of extensions)

3. It searches the folder (and optionally subfolders) for files that total up to the size limit with a good degree of randomness.

4. It copies the chosen files into the clipboard so that I may paste them onto another drive, or it can copy them for me.

I have a large music collection. I put a portion of it onto my usb drive to listen to on my computer at work. I would like to have an easy way to fill the drive with random files.

Any takers?

You could make a random playlist and let your musicplayer save the files to your drive (it will error once full).

Or better yet, suggest someone would write a programs that takes in a destination folder and a playlist (.m3u probably) and saves all the music listed in the playlist to the destination folder. That way you could also make mood playlists for instance, or special-event type of things.

I'd like to request a program to do focus on mouseover (Windows platform). I know you can do it through the registry, but I'd like to be able to have it on computers where I don't have access to the registry. Also a lot of the computers don't have .NET or anything fancy.

This program is almost exactly it, except I don't want the copy/paste functionality with the mouse buttons.

Microsoft's Tweak UI powertoy can do this.

Does anyone know something that works like an FTP client only with local files?
i.e. I want to drag and drop files into a queue then hit a button and have them all copy over at once to the folder of my choosing.

Something like supercopier(click the supercopier 2 beta link) will do that.

I don't know if this would be considered simple or not, but I have always wanted a quick app for changing IP addresses between several statics and DHCP in windows. Shortcut keys, some kind of interface profile manager, or even something as simple as a command line script. This is an app that is pretty specifically useful for someone in the networking world, so I can understand if there is little interest in making it.

WinIPS lives in your systemtray and enables you to quickly switch between static addresses and DCHP.
