here is a little example how to create a folder from sm. i used rl´s hint with the cmd.exe. set your windows\system32 folder(that contains the cmd.exe), set a path where you want the folder to be created and give it a name. then just click go and you´re done.

Cool. I could see the internal workings being useful for creating subfolders automatically when launched that a plugin might need, to hold samples or something.

we have to thank rl for this 😉

Nice one! 🙂
I've create a new version in a way in which I would want to be able to use it.
The cmd.exe is found automatically, this is important because you may want to give the end user of your plugin the ability to extra create folders, there windows installation may not be on a C drive (mine isn't).
If it's ok with you I'll be adding this to the Developer Toolkit.
Cheers 😉

hm, Exo, I don't think that would work in all situations. The name of the windows folders is not necessarily drive:\windows. Better to just use "cmd.exe" since it is most likely in the PATH and found automatically (or use the environment variables: %SystemDrive% or %SystemRoot%)

Ahh! thank rl I never realized it found it automatically.
I'm getting some weird behaviour with this actually, the folder is getting created within a folder I never specified. For example I did a test creating a folder called "tom" in a folder called "Developer Toolkit" now what happens is I get a folder called "Toolkit" and the folder "tom" is within that.
Seems a bit strange any ideas why that is?
**Edit** seems to not like spaces, I think that's whats causing the issue.
Cheers 😉

...no idea... but i´ll try to reproduce the problem you had. i´ve never tried to create a folder inside a folder. let´s see what happens...

I found the fix, the path needs to be enclosed in quotes "".

Just remember to put quotes around the dirs & files...
/c mkdir "c:\Samples\Test"
/c del "c:\Samples\Angular Momentum.wav"
/c copy "e:\Samples\Angular Momentum.wav" "c:\Samples\Angular Momentum.wav"
/c ren "c:\Samples\Angular Momentum.wav" "Loopasoopa.wav"
/c move "e:\Samples\Angular Momentum.wav" "e:\Samples\Angular Momentum.wav"
/c move "e:\Samples\*.wav" "e:\Samples\"
These I use in this manager I am working on at the moment on a friend of mines request. Of course it goes out of hand quite easily...
Edit....removed image.

this looks awesome 😍

For the first time I can just scroll through my library of waves or audit for instance my sample CD's, what I like I copy or move to HDD. Easy peasy harvesting a bouquet of samples to cook up some music.
A friend of mine requested this, and as I recalled Kirkagur's browser, it is just perfect for such.
There is a lot to be done still, but as it is now it works reasonably well, all commands done by cmd.exe are very fast, and the browsers refresh correctly everytime after a command trigger.
philter5 ·
i was just flashed by ideas coming up in my head when i saw it, some kind of stimulus satiation... 😉 i just wanted to say that i can imagine a real great sample library manager or something like this
AngularMomentum ·
BTW, would you like to have it?
sunsynth ·
Everybody want it dude 😉
cheers, Walter

I'll make an announcement in the registered user forum when it is done...requests can be made there then...all are welcome! 🙂

YOU're the best!
