Import pictures from your digital camera

[dgemily]

This application is built by Jbt_f, I congratulate him for all work he does.

This script can import your pictures from your digital camera or from your memory card reader.

The script: (CopyPhotos.zip)
download the zip and install all the files in the same directory.
This application is built for the French team, and uses default repertories from the French team: C:\Program Files\XlobbyFr\applications\CopyPhotos\

If you use an other directory, edit “CopyPhotos.vbs” (with right click and “modify”) and then, change these lines:

Code: Select all

WavExeTool    = "C:\Program Files\Xlobbyfr\Applications\CopyPhotos\PlayWav.exe"
WavAudioFile  = "C:\Program Files\Xlobbyfr\Applications\CopyPhotos\Sound.wav"

make sure to specify your repertory.

To use it:

Use command lines to launch the import:

With Xlobby, create a button and assign it to an event os/execute file.

File: Root to CopyPhotos.vbs
Ex:

Code: Select all

C:\Program Files\XlobbyFr\applications\CopyPhotos\CopyPhotos.vbs

Argument : " repertory source" " repertory of destination"
Ex:

Code: Select all

"L:\DCIM" "C:\Program Files\Xlobbyfr\Images Photos\"

Copy from disk C: (my CompactFlash Reader, from sub folder \Dcim) to my local disk photo folder C:\Program Files\Xlobbyfr\Images Photos\


It will create a sub folder named with date of the import, if you don’t want this sub folder, edit “CopyPhotos.vbs” (with right click and “modify”) and then, delete these lines

Code: Select all

' This section could be removed (from here)
MyDate = Date
MyfolderDate = DatePart("yyyy",MyDate)

If DatePart("m",MyDate) < 10 then
MyfolderDate = MyfolderDate & "0" & DatePart("m",MyDate)
Else
MyfolderDate = MyfolderDate & DatePart("m",MyDate)
End If

If DatePart("d",MyDate) < 10 then
MyfolderDate = MyfolderDate & "0" & DatePart("d",MyDate)
Else
MyfolderDate = MyfolderDate & DatePart("d",MyDate)
End If


CopyTo = CopyTo & MyFolderDate & "\"

' (to here)

enjoy

I must admit that I ripped this script and modified it for my usage. It bothered me that it creates date-folder according to the CURRENT date, not the date that the pictures were created on.

So I modified it that it reads file created date and creates sub folders according to that. It also creates sub folder for year, i.e. d:\pictures\2004\20040913\.

Available in my extras archive:

Hy Dalanik,

dgemily/dalanik,

Thanks for the script.

I have one problem.

C:\Temp3\CopyPhotos\copyphotos.vbs "K:\DCIM\" "c:\Temp\Pics\"

Works. But my photos are in "k:\dcim\100_FUJI" on the memory card.

If i use:
C:\Temp3\CopyPhotos\copyphotos.vbs "K:\DCIM\100_FUJI\" "c:\Temp\Pics\"

I get an error in line 104 - Path does not exist.

The line that works creates a date folder and then a "100_FUJI" folder which i do not want. I just want all photos dumped into the date folder.

Am i doing something wrong or does it have to be this way?

Regards
Simon

the script copies the repertory and it can't only copy the pictures, if you want to do it, you need to modify the script but I can't tell you what you I have to modify...

later

[dalanik]

Are you speaking of my modified script or the original one? I believe my script works from subfolders - because my camera uses G:\DCIM\100OLYMP\ and my script copies individual files according to THEIR creation date - not according to the CURRENT date (as original script).

yes the original one,
Dalanik, I didn't try your script, (not yet)...

[edgley]

I would really like either of these scripts, but the links are down.

Could they be posted again please?

Thanks.

Download Visual Skin - the vbs script is included.

here is the original one : http://france.xlobby.com/forum/dgemily/CopyPhotos.zip

okay, so I have downloaded this.

First, there is an error in line 131. after looking at the script I changed it from wanting the alarmclock.ini to just a text file on my system.

It runs, but doesnt copy anthing over.

How can I check how far it is getting please?

I have even tried using it outside of XL, it seems to run ok, but no files are copied across.

edgley,
Where did you download the vbs from?
Is it from my last post? :

here is the original one : http://france.xlobby.com/forum/dgemily/CopyPhotos.zip

later,

I can’t understand… there isn’t line 134 on this script, the last one is line 122….

after looking at the script I changed it from wanting the alarmclock.ini to just a text file on my system

the vbs from my last link don’t use the alarmclock.ini (xevent plugin) but I did one script that it use xevent plugin and I did post it on the French forum, did you take the script from the French forum ?

Do you need to write something in the txt files? Or you want only download your pictures ?

Can you post the script that you are using and post also arguments of your event “os:execute file” in xlobby to execute the .vbs ? I will try to see what’s wrong.

Later,

[dalanik]

Make sure the XAlarmClock.ini file exists in the c:\Program Files\XLobby\plugins\XEvent\ folder...
