If I correctly understood your request, it is already possible. You simply need to create an association with *Paul* as rule, to move files with "Paul" in the name in a desired folder. And you can do the same for other words. I recommend you to read the wiki for more info, for example this page:

That part I understand about making rules and what not. The part I was asking about would be having the system default a list of rules and locations based on inputting into a single box a name. Like an autofill ability, the name being the only thing that actually changes from one association to the next.

Edit: Like using Field one putting the new name in and the program shortcutting the name into the fields #2 and #4 and keeping the action of #3 the same.

Edit 2: IE> #1 Paul
Gets injected in to field #2 as *_paul.txt
Gets the move action automatically
Gets the destination rule C:\Users\Username\Documents\Paul

Finally the new DropIt version 8.0 is available! oooooooyyyyyee~!!!

- added support to auto-hide target image on the nearest side (auto-detected) :D VERY VERY LIKE
- added support to define the visible pixels of the target image when hidden (read 4.4 of the Guide) :D


##################
add please fix the visible pixels of the target image
and STOP GraduallyHide

for example:
GraduallyHideVisPx=16 and hardFixed position of the target image on the nearest side// STOP GraduallyHide

so//OKEY! solution => has been found!

solution
holding SHIFT I attached to the edge of the screen icon.
 so
that visibility is 8 PXl .. and turned off the auto-hide
All because I wanted to! thank you!!!
 
thus.
 top of the screen does not work.
Only the bottom left and right .. :(
##############################################
add please secret function
transfer to the main settings window program.

functions are:

GraduallyHideSpeed ​​= 10
GraduallyHideTime = 0
GraduallyHideVisPx = 6

uncomfortable, go in the folder
C: \ Users \ ----- \ AppData \ Roaming \ DropIt and edit them there.

better to move their to the settings

##################################################
(Gradually Hide Time)

Automatic time update
last
touch mouse
to profile

in the settings I specified:
GraduallyHideTime = 30 sec.

I want to
destination image has not disappeared timer 30 sec.
and
by the last access. touching him.
The timer autobrowse again in 30 seconds. and only
if within 30 seconds. there was not any touch
after disappearing
#############################33
Empower users. when matching extensions

change the destination path.

Example:

I have in the Downloads folder many files and many new folders.

My download folder I want to put things in order.

and not necessarily the download folder.. not important any folder in the system. I want to put in order.. even a Desk. or folder on drive D:\

generally not important.


Most importantly, I want to make a folder and drag and drop the icon Dropit all very spread in the destination folder according to the rules in the profile.


BUT

Here is an example..

I want to
order in the Downloads folder

there are many Jpg files

I selected a few, Jpg files and drag the icon DropIT
the program asks me: there is no Association for JPG files to create? YES

save Yes!

then I'm back in the Downloads folder, highlight the rest of the JPG files and drag them to the icon Dropit/

Now before you press the start button.. I want to change the path for these JPG files
I do not wantfold all JPG files to the folder PICTURES
I want to choose a sub-directory or change the destination path before surgery "START"

because all JPG files different
on the subject of.

Example: I have a Main folder : "MY FILES"
in this folder there are folders: files, video, pictures, music, lyrics, torrents, programs, Documents, and so forth..

Importantly, in each of these folders are subfolders.
for example in the folder "Pictures" folders
(Wallpaper, screenshots, pictures, different, Interesting pictures, animated images, and so on.)

now.. I want
when you need to press the "START"button

I was able to change the path to select subfolders in which I needed to transfer these files,

in this case, I rest JPG files would move to folder screenshots.
and the remaining 2 Jpg file from the Downloads folder move to folder "D:\MY FILES\Images\my_photos" <-here

for this I need to select / change the destination path in order not to make a big dumping ground for JPG files...
=============================
If you somewhere that it
 unclear, citing the response,
 I will try to
better
 for you
 write
to you
was
 a little clearer.
ask me I will answer..

Window processing - is the main window for an individual, phased, manual sorting of files and directories to the final destination.

This window ... the best thing that could come up for users who want to see before my eyes the whole process of moving fileswhere the user can correct the path for a specific file in the list of processing ..

it is the manual sorting of files lacking strong program Dropit.

I believe that the WINDOW "Handling Dropit" need to finish it to the best of interaction with the user.

Namely, add a couple of hot menu.
and a couple of context menu ..buttons and select
specific files in the list as well as reset vybyra files as well as reset the file marked as skip, and so on and later lay a screenshot made me. exactly how and what I would like to see in this box ..because all the trash on your computer is not possible to scatter in the automatic mode sometimes require it to disassemble and scatter in the correct directories without this program will translate everything into folders garbage .... the other day ... I will lay out a screenshot of what I would like to see in the program .. thank you. . Lupo //

@Jaeson: I'll consider to add the autofill feature in future.

@biber: GraduallyHide still needs some improvements, I know.
I'll consider to add secret functions to Options in future.
To customize destination folder, I already added %UserInput% abbreviation, try it ;)
I'll consider to add support to edit destination in the process window, but I'm not sure to add it because could be very complex to support all actions.

Can I just say what a wonderful application, it's really helped me a lot and I've made a donation!

Could I ask for a little bit of help though, I can't see what I'm doing wrong.

These are the tasks I desire to perform with DropIt.

Code: Select all

COPY My Documents (C:\Users\Tom\Documents\) without My Music/Pictures/Videos, to another folder.
MOVE .mkv and .mp4 files from (D:\Downloads\) folder, but not from the Completed folder to another folder.
These are my associations.

Code: Select all

C:\Users\Tom\Documents/**My Music**;**My Pictures**;**My Videos**
D:\Downloads/**Completed**;*mp4;*mkv
The COPY association copies everything including the music/vidoes/pictures folders but come up as failed.
The Move association moves all mkv and mp4 files.


What am I doing wrong, would someone please help me.

Thanks.

Hello,

not sure if this is the official forum for DropIt, but i will give it a try.
I am new, but i have already created a few associations, and rules, so I got a little familiar with it.
But I can't figure out how to do the following. Maybe someone will give me a hint?

Use-Case:
Merge multiple PDF documents into a single one

Today, I use a command line similar to the following:

Code: Select all

"C:\Program Files\gs\gs9.07\bin\gswin64c.exe" -dNOPAUSE -sDEVICE=pdfwrite -sOUTPUTFILE=new_pdf_file.pdf -dBATCH c:\temp\Scan0001.pdf c:\temp\Scan0002.pdf c:\temp\Scan0003.pdf 
I would like to automate this with DropIt, by executing that external command. So I would like to drop any number of Scan*.pdf files onto DropIt and get:
- a single result pdf
- delete the original files

Any hint how to achieve that?

thanks, Till

@TomMartow: these are possible solutions to your requests:

Code: Select all

C:\Users\Tom\Documents**/**My Music**/**My Pictures**/**My Videos**
D:\Downloads\Completed\*mp4;D:\Downloads\Completed\*mkv
@skywalker007: currently it is not possible to obtain that kind of automatization with DropIt (you can send single files to external programs using Open With action, that support commands, but not concatenate them)

@User36: it was an old issue that seems is back. What OS version do you use? I'll do some tests.

DropIt installed on media center computer with Windows 7 64bit
Its happens when XBMC 13.2 run on startup and Start minimized to system tray setting selected in DropIt
from my 5 times restart tests, 2 times system tray icon not visible

by the way Start on system startup DropIt setting not working
this is on install version, not portable
added manually DropIt shortcut to Startup folder
XBMC don't have startup setting, so need also add shortcut to Startup folder

Hey,
I'm not sure if this has already been asked for but a quick search didn't return anything related:
I think it would be great if we could use regular expressions in custom abbreviations and - even better - use backreferences like \1 \2 etc. to access "stored" (in brackets) strings from the rules.
Would be great if this could be implemented but anyways, thanks for this great program!

Dropit how to stop "do you want to create ass for it" msg

#1288 Post by ronhexy »

Ok, no mater how i try to limit the process of a folder or specify specific extension... i always get all files unrelated files and subfolder to prompt the question "do you want to create association for it"

It's a bad start as i don't really need to drop files into the arrow, but i ratter droping files in a specific folder (many user named folder that need to be sorted in their own subfolders).


What i did among many trial and ERROR, ;-)

RULE: *username1**.avi;*.flv;*.m4v;*.mkv;*.mov;*.mp4;*.mpeg;*.mpg;*.wmv;*mp4
(That should only affect video files from the folder "username1")

This my only rule so when it monitors the folder, it keep asking about "do you want to create ass for it" for all other files like jpg ect

WHAT GIVES?

Despite having written up my post favorite forum title in a long time, I'm going to have to merge this with the existing DropIt thread.

Edit: I somehow left off "favorite forum" from the above post so if it didn't make any sense, that's why.

Unfortunately I'm very busy in these months, so I have very limited time for it.

Anyway, some answers:
@giulia and Kalagon, maybe in future (added to my list of planned features)
@ronhexy, you can check "ignore unassociated files/folders" in Options to avoid it
