asalimpo:
It even gets uglier if you want your program to recursively scan folders on the target location, and move files out.
Then resource files for webpages must nt be moved as if they were standalone files even though they may match criteria for standalone files. E.g standalone .wav ,jpeg,gif would be moved to pictures and music folders.
But if their in a webpage resource folder, you'll hav to ignore them!

You forgotten it searches for only files on the desktop not a sub directory.

CodeHouse:


It is easier when the app gets the html extension, and then scan or read the file for the other links such as image location, css file, js file, etc and automatically create the corresponding folders and move them to the new location, try to avoid user input or interaction.

Are you saying the app will scan through the html file itself for reference links (which would all be in the page's folder created in the desktop) to resources move and create folders correspondingly to the new folder ones? I was thinking of moving the whole folder of the page saved. Since name will be the same for the file and its folder it just looks for a folder with that name.

asalimpo:

non tech users will be lost by the question. They view a webpage as a single unified file,like their pdf,mp3 etc and would expect the file to open the same after copying. They dont know resources are in separate files.
Yeah,I'm talking of pages saved from browsers.
Better,for the app to guess on behalf of the user to reduce the burden of decision making on them.

Fine I can now relate with it, users saved the page, then the software will do the house cleaning since the browser will create a folder in the name of the page saved. All it will do is to look for that folder whose name corresponds to the name of the name of the page saved and move it.

asalimpo:

a web page usually has resource files(css,js,jpegs,pics,icons) stored in a folder with the same name as the web page. All these have to be taken into account when copying the web page.

Hmmmm... Then the app should prompt the user if it encounter a web page extension to ask if there are any other files stored in a single folder in order to move it with the found page. But mostly this won't be necessary unless the user save the page with a browser. There's always a work around.

asalimpo:
Theyre other extensions:
Books= pdf,chtml,epub.
Source-code= py,java,php,c
text=txt
web-pages=htm,html,mht

copying files is easy. Copying webpages is harder.

Please explain what you meant by copying webpages is harder.

FCT go have less now, na rich kids they there.

CodeHouse:


How are you mate? I saw your post, has anyone given you the best yet?

It's only lariaoft o, He just needs to pay me.

Sometimes in thread like these all you need to do is to keep reading, you won't know what to write, I don't know whether am learning or what self. well sha. I look forward to the person that will make the last post on this thread.

seunthomas and dhtml are like Paul and Barnabas.


bible reference :

Barnabas wanted to take John, also called Mark, with them, but Paul did not think it wise to take him, because he had deserted them in Pamphylia and had not continued with them in the work. They had such a sharp disagreement that they parted company.

CodeHouse I sight you sir.

larisoft:


Thanks man. I will implement it soon.

Let me close this thread and you pay me or you reference back to me in your code. Paying me will make it yours now.

larisoft:


I dont understand what you mean, bro. Please elucidate.

I wrote a very short snippet in .cs I paste it in my desktop may be I downloaded it from my google drive directly to my desktop. I have a folder saved in C:\\RobotApp.

The app should allow me to create extension it will watch for, and where the folder should be saved.

Should I be Jealous ehn?



Oya turn back to my thread jor.

larisoft :

You didn't implement the custom extension module.

DebbieSean:
I'm happy for her..... In other news, Today is my birthday!!! Wish me well guys

Happy Birthday.

Make sure you party with some bread too o. Especially bread from Olajumoke's factory.

HaveFun.

I haven't see her wear all these revealing dresses is it because she just dey start?

larisoft:




I have solved your problem, bro. It took me an hour. its titled "Larisoft Clean Desktop". I will drop the larisoft name in it once its accepted as something useful and something everyone can work on.

The code is currently very basic, but serves the functions above.

If the guys here approve of my efforts, we can then work to make it better.


github :https://github.com/larisoft/cleanDesktop

You can download and install the app directly from

http://tfellow.com/larisoftCleanDesktop.zip

THANKS.

C#, cool.. don't conclude yet na, I hope we are going see more codes..But nice work, just that this PC I am using needs to update its framework, why no make it compatible to previous .net at least 3, just my opinion?. But yet still Nice work.

Urine:


It's already happening bro.

Bro, link me to where it's happening na, abeg.

I do use nairaland and google to test for network availability.

Sometimes in life, the best help you can offer for some people's problem is to allow them to solve their problems them self.

I look forward to that day in Nigeria, where tables will be filled with busy laptops and serious minded people punching keys for various reasons from securities, geo matters to as low as implementing how to download objects off the net.

Due to the fact that I don't have anything doing for sometimes now and due to thethe e-wars, e-bashing and e-i_sabi_pass_you that has been happening in our hood here programming (though topics are maybe forbidden to reach FP )

1. I want a desktop app that will act like an AI. Anytime I paste anything on my desktop it should move it to the appropriate folders. based on its extension. I have these folders (types)

I want a clean desktop with only those folders.

Musics
- mp3
- wav
- avi

Pictures
- jpg/jpeg
- png
- gif

Videos
- mp4
- mov
- flv

Custom extension
Let me say I work with AutoCAD which has .dwg as its extension, your app should allow me to create my own extension to work just like the above extensions.

Others
For the ones the robot didn't recognize.

OOP should be strongly used. Let it get muscle please.

You can add other features o. It might not necessary be in GUI, cmd too is allow.

Well, we can vote for people by just liking their posts (you post the link to your codes/exe/zip/github or anything).
Posts that got shares na baba.

Please this is not really a competition but rather a challenge (what's the difference self lols). You can use any language of your choice. We must see your codes either use pastebin or github. This will help improve our programming skills and we gonna know the quack programmers, the guru (everyone is) and the ones that only have mouth-compilers alone. Please post the link and maybe screen shots to back it up.

Pardon my English oo. (English/Programming lecturers)

SkinnyDude:
i'm already experiencing it. ND graduate now, seeking for an I.T. placement. all the places i have been, no vacant. and i actually like the feeling and heat.. it stops me from relaxing and being lazy, thinking that am still young.. i'm 21 this month.

Sometimes in Industrial Training stuff (I perceive it's 1 year) all you have to do is to write up a CV and present, if your skills are flashy they will consider you.

gabylzy:
i couldnt read it tho.. cos i jst woke nd the write up is long buh i knw t entails one thing "SUFFERING"

Read it, it will help you/

Nice write up.

Nice, just like my boss has said dhtml.
But I think you need to change the color of the text under these images brad.jpg, jon.jpg and chuck.jpg.

NightReaders.

nollyj:

Like seriously you own that site? I know you are a Nigerian lols. So you are on Nairaland. Haba you've been making money now, which be 1 million again you don make pass that one now..

I love your tuts bro. Learned from them v well.

CodeHouse:


Lol.. mate, im still away and my blackberry is faulty, hence the reason we dont communicate like we used to, got me another phone... will add you to my new whatsapp number.

Like seriously? You need to see the different kinds of reasons that my head has been pondering upon due to the lack of our communication. I've sent a mail before you post this, you haven't reply. Please be in touch-able o.

ENOUGH OF THE ENGLISH CORRECTION, DO THIS PROGRAMMATICALLY.

System.out.println(all_programmers == null ? "They've moved to the States." : "There are programmers.";

Adding to problems day by day. He kept mute all these while, now "until Somalia is Stable, Africa won't be stable." God na you hand we dy.

Nice one bro.

Why not change the colour of the text in Night mode to white, the black gray won't help readers' eyes.

agabaI23:
Nice
It is nice because some people will during the course of the vocational training discover that getting a university degree is not what they want and will not bother going for JAMB in addition to the advantages you mentioned

In some countries, they call it gap year though it is not compulsory

That's why it should be compulsory in Nigeria. Many will definitely make it during or after the vocational training.

What do we do to catch the attention of Nigerians to this idea?

Fynestboi:

lalasticlala:

You guys should help.

Due to the situation Nigeria met herself now and with the way education is being run in Nigeria, I would like to suggest if the Senate can pass a bill that will ensure every graduates from secondary school to go for a compulsory one year or two years of vocational training before seeking admission into university or other wise go to any other higher institutions.

Now to me, these are the features and benefits :


Features
1. A student can go for any vocational training of his or her choice.
2. Vocational training centres are accredited by a private body or government (any which way) after a request from any interested vocational centres.
3. A certificate is issued to the student which will be among the requirements of every university. Validity must be ensured here with sound database keeping which will be checked by universities for validity and to avoid corruption.

Benefits
1. Reduces mass admissions.
2. Reduces unemployments even after graduation from university and there's no white collar job, such student can use the skills gotten to live.
3. Makes students to grow and learn about life and morals before going into university which reduces illegal acts such as robbery, prostitution and cultism etc. after gaining admission.

Now this is it. I want to know what Nigerians think about this my proposed bill. What other advantages and features do you think of, will this approach really help us Nigerians, or is it a bad shot. Please I want serious minded comments, The moderators know how they can help.
Thank you, though I don't look forward to any bashing.

Sorry for any typos and bad alignments, I typed on a phone.

9jawebdev:
its an interesting feature. You will need to have a restful http api.

Sorry I do not know much about blogging, was helping someone dig out info. Does that means there's a way I can implement this feature in the blog something similar to a WordPress plugin.
