Folder Copier
This program is obviously O/T, i.e. nothing to do with Tek or any other T&M equipment.
I have a large library of mp3 files organized in folders containing one album each. I use to pick folders from it and copy to an USB memory stick which I then use in my car stereo.
My mp3 player, and probably many others too, plays the folders in the order they were saved on the memory stick and when selecting multiple folders in Windows for copying
the order usually becomes unpredictable. Therefore to gain more control and to avoid the need of copying folders one by one I wrote this program which saves the folders from the
Source List in the exact order they appear.
Dec 11, 2011 - New version 1.21
Changes from 1.2 to 1.21:
Bugfixes:
Error trapping for Target Drive not accessable added. This may occur the if USB drive is removed during copying or before copying is started.
Error trapping for Target Drive full added. This should normally not be possible since the Copy button is disbled if the available space is too small. However since Free Space is an estimate
it could happen if the actual size of the source folders is just a little too big.
Changes from 1.1 to 1.2:
Bugfixes:
Some buttons that wasn't disabled after a copy sequence now are.
New:
Menus.
Show Log File (File)
Recall and save source lists (File).
Option to use a log file for saved folders (Options).
Option to add a numeric prefix to saved folders (Options).
Help window from menu (Help)
Code to warn for if a folder which is about be be copied has the same name as an existing folder in the Target folder.
Changes:
Language selection moved to menu from About form.
About moved to menu from button on Main Form.
Selection of using Default Path moved to menu from tick box on Main form.
Saving Default Path moved to menu from button on Main form.
Some tooltips changed and some added.
Changes from 1.0 to 1.1:
Several changes and new functions.
Version 1.0
Initial version. Never published
Here's a screen shot.
When first started the program defaults to c:\ on both Source and Target disks. When shut down it saves the current paths which are restored the next time it is started. A default path
for the Source disk can be saved so it will always start with the same path. The operation is rather obvious so further explanation isn't really needed. One hidden feature though is
that you can double click on a folder in any of the folder lists to see the mp3 files. Then you can double click on any of the files to listen to it.
One note ... the folders in the target drive lists are shown in alphabetical order and not in the physical order i.e. the order they were saved.
