Cataloging of Spectrum programs and documents on the PC
ZXNet echo conference «zxnet.pc»
From Alexey Senilov → To All 8 May 2006
Hello Shadow Maker
Although this is an old topic, I'll add my two cents. In now long ago times I
wrote my own program, specifically for Spectrum software, under
called FileBase, and for some time I stuffed everything into it. Some of you
I've probably seen or heard of it. As a result, a database of 2700 records was accumulated, from all over
possible information (title, author, release date, author and release date,
size, comments, screenshots, etc.), plus for each program is stored
link to its file (trd/scl), and you can run it. Search and sort
are present. Then, in view of the quite considerable flow of new programs at that time, I
Stopped filling.
This is of course not a universal and not the best solution; it is only suitable for
own local collection, and then only with great perseverance for
filling. Although you can write it to disk along with all the software included in it.
You can give it to a friend so that he can see what you have, mark what you need, and
then it’s easy to copy all this to him in the program itself...
There were two attempts to promote it to a more global level, first under the auspices of
NetSpec (if anyone remembers this miracle), then in a new rebirth - Scentre
(hello Diver!). Both failed for different reasons.
If anyone is interested, I can give you FileBase (program + my database).
Sincerely, Thann Erannor aka ex-Boh/Image Crew.

Hello, Thenn
It seems that under Win there are programs that scan the screw and report identical files,
This means that the program can be located in different directories several times.
please advise names.

Hello, goodboy
File cataloging is always
requires def. "Personal"
rules I remember when I first encountered
with this problem paid first
on ie5.5 in the Favorites folderBookmarks
so here I apologize for the link in general
no number, just a description
one can only dream of each of them
and rely on intelligence
creator of the site.
I found a very banal solution,
Hungarian_nation or
a_air
b_book
c_coin
..
The trick is that the alphabetic nat
has the property of ordering in
folder according to the command.
Can be used in addition to this
3 letter nation
trd_game
scl_soft
tap_demo
Here I think the principle is also clear.
We put the extension in front and not in the back.
now let's move to global
level what's here
you can come up with
zx
--zx_dos
-+---e_shalaev1 - emulators
-+---r_SN - editor
--zx_win
-+---e_zx_view1 - emulators
-+---r_nnm - editor
--zx_dk - developer kit
-+---z88
--zx_games
-+-------g_trd
-+-------g_scl
-+-------g_tap
--zx_soft
-+-------g_trd
-+-------g_scl
-+-------g_tap
--zx_arc - All rar zip archives, etc. are stored here.
I usually put the title before the extension
I also add *.ext of the stored format
i.e. name.trd.rar or name.tzx.rar
very convenient and without compromising the name
But before that I turn over the RAR archive
in order to reduce the size and add
a commentary on the files of which in lifeyou won’t get it from anyone.. sometimes *.diz
they will only put that.. heh
-+-------games
-+-------soft
-+-------demo
-+-------emul
-+-------view
Just like that, using improvised means and
you can organize any directory without any hassle
Hmm, when organizing using this method you need
remember that the English alphabet comes first
then Russian, and in front of them all the numbers proudly stand
Note to cool programmers
There is a tzx format
so there are rumors that it's in
You can choke and comment
and Spectrum type and screensaver picture and kits
All in all a complete set...
I think you can also include a description
in place of a comment, which is in some sense a description
but that's not the point... :D

Hello, goodboy
goo> it seems under win there are programs that scan the screw and report it
goo> identical files
For example, in Total Commander (version 6.03 for me) in the file search mode in
In the "Advanced" tab there is a "Search for duplicates" function. I think it will do. A
For example, there is also a program called NoClone, although I have never used it.
