I was wondering how to:
create a droplet that saves to a relative filepath.
let's say the droplet is on the desktop in the folder "batches" and this folder also contains the folder "output". Everything that gets dropped will end up in the output folder.
I've noticed that photoshop saves a fixed path to this folder. This renders the droplet useless on any other computer than my own.
Even further pondering:
Is it remotely possible to let photoshop prompt the user once for a destination. This could also be an acceptable solution to the above.
Thanks in advance for any comments,tips,remarks,etc.

In my experience, the best and simplest way to handle this is to make a working copy of the files you want to transform. Then when creating the droplet, choose "Save and Close" to overwrite the source files.
The danger of this method is that the user will overwrite source files. However, this can be remedied by creating a script or Automator action around the photoshop droplet. It would first copy the files to the destination, then run the droplet.

When I create a new STM32CubeIDE project, it default saves it to my /Documents directory. This isn't too bad except I like to have a folder for each application so that it isn't just a bunch of files. I tried creating a folder called "STM32CubeIDE" to save new projects to, put it gives me an error: "overlaps the location of another project".
I've done some googling and found that this issue also exists in Eclipse (which makes sense) but couldn't solve my problem from those solutions.
I was also wondering if there is a way to move all of my existing projects to this newly created folder? Last time I tried, the IDE flipped out on me and couldn't find my stuff.
First of all, do not call your folder "STM32CubeIDE" if this already exists. Use a different name, because this is normally used by default and it may cause issues (probably the reason why you are getting that error).
When you install or update STM32CubeIDE it gives you the option to choose where you want your default folder to be. For example, my default folder is
C:\Users\%USERPROFILE%\STM32CubeIDE\workspace_1.6.0\
Now if you want to use different folders for different projects, there are two options:
You can Export your project (application) to a desired folder and then Import it using the File tab. This is a good method if you want to make backups, or just want to make sure that all relevant files are transferred correctly to avoid "missing file" issues.
The other method (my favourite) is to simply copy you project folders and paste them to a different folder, wherever you want to put them. Then you simply open STM32CubeIDE, go to File > Open Projects from File System... and chose your project. You might get a pop-up about software compatibility issues (if you made an update), etc. but this should open up your project and show it in the Project Explorer.
I am making a winform application whereby I am using some images to show .It works fine when run . But what if I want to take the exe out from the debug folder and use it in some other machine then it will give exceptions that it can't find images on the same path(its obvious as it is not there in that machine path).
Idea to overcome this is to make a setup out of it,but that too is a tedious task.
Can it be possible that we can accomodate all the other sources(like images) used in the project in such a way that it should go along with the exe ?
It's a kind of an odd error, because the *.exe file in the Debug folder is created after adding all the resources into it. And that's why the *.exe file gets lager in size. But it will be a problem if you have mentioned the paths of the resources (like images) manually.
To avoid that always use the properties panel to import resources to the project and this will create the Resoures.resx automatically. Then all the resources will stick to the *.exe file.
But if you have mentioned the paths manually you must provide them in the targeted computer which you are going to use the *.exe file. To make it more easier, give a path in the same folder where the *.exe file exist.
For example give simple paths like (#"image.jpg"), without giving paths like ("C:\Users\Sam\Pictures\image.jpg").
And create a setup including all the resources like images, databases, etc.
I have been making a simple program on my computer using Dr. Java, and I would like to know how to move it to my android on AIDE. I can easily get the files onto the android, I just can't figure out how to make AIDE compile and run them.
Thanks!
Using My Files or the file browser you prefer, move your entire project directory into a folder call AppProjects. Should be fairly easy to open from there. Also you will want to make sure the directory is set up correctly. If all else fails, you can always recreate the project using AIDE and copy your java files into the java folder and XML files into the layout folder, and your images and icons into the drawable folders. These folders are automatically generated by AIDE so you don't have to create them.
You can copy the source files normally as you do with other files but Desktop's Java is not always same as Android's. So it needs some more coding and editing to make the code work as you want. But if the code is so simple, it can work.
I'm trying to make a simple batch for windows that will basically sync two folders, the catch is that the files in the folders can be named arbitrarily and the snyc should be based on the checksum. I've only found information about xcopy that compares the timestamp so I'm wondering if this is possible in a simple matter at all.
Here is the scenario I'm trying to manage, you've got the "Import Folder" containing the files named A_2.bmp and A_3.bmp and the "Target Folder" containing file A_1.bmp.
File A_2.bmp is infact the same file as A_1.bmp, just with a different name and thus should be skipped, A_3.bmp should then be copied over to target folder and icrementally renamed to A_2.bmp.
This probably sounds more like a work for patching software, but I'm looking for a solution that doesn't require building patches all the time and is open for the user (so he can just drop files into the import folder and run it whenever the need arises)
If there is software for such a thing that is free and can be distributed without installing I would also consider this a good option, but I haven't found anything.
I'm thankful for any advice and help on this matter so thank you very much for your time and help!
You have this command line utility :

You can then make a bat who simply test the checksum of the files
I want to display the version on the installation dialog pages of nsis, by reading the version from a text file, but i have to copy this on the destination pc where the executable is run, but i want that the text file is not copied on the user's pc but is only read from,
that is,
i want to include this file into the exe, and read text from it to display on the nsis dialog pages, but not copy it anywhere on the pc wherever the exe is run?
is this possible? or is there any other way of doing this?
In general, you can use $PLUGINSDIR constant. It is de-facto temporary directory on target system and you can put there something and use. Following code will copy the file into the temporary directory on the target machine, but whole directory will be deleted after the installation completion. (InitPluginsDir is needed somewhere before)
InitPluginsDir
File /oname=$PLUGINSDIR\blah.txt "..\myfile.txt"
But in your case, it could be better to solve it in some other way. You can define some constant containing version number and use it in the code, can't you? The !define command could be in generated file so you can automate it...
