Video Renamer - Pete - 12-18-2024
Well the holidays are upon us and I found myself going through some 20+ years of 'home videos'. The problem is files like CG54671.MOV doesn't tell me much about it. So I was thinking if only there was a way I could watch a bit of the vid while changing the file name, and maybe also move it to a different folder. Well, I suppose that is all possible by setting up the player in one part of the screen and a couple of File Explorer windows adjacent to the player, but what fun is that?!
So I'm putting together a little something for Windows that will be less obtrusive and more fun to use. I'd like to post what I have so far, tomorrow maybe, but I'm a bit reluctant. The reason is the code contains statements that have a potential of file loss if something goes horribly wrong. So if you guys think I should post it, I will include that warning in the post above the code.
This is a fun project for me, because it utilizes some new tricks made possible by the QB64 Developers. The program makes use of _MESSAGEBOX, the folder and file dialog additions, and I even through in Spriggsy's Recycle Bin function.
Happy Holidays Screw that, Merry Christmas!
