Process Tamer Has Fans, Part FourThis is just the little program I have been searching for. It does exactly what it was developed to do. Change the priorities of certain programs as they get to raise the CPU level to an annoying point that the system slows to a crawl. By lowering and raising the priorities of certain programs at crucial times stops the system from overloading and stalling. A must have for anyone who wants to speed up their system at crucial times.

Coding Snack: Photo Downloader Kiosk Hello, My robotics team runs a tournament every year for younger kids. An idea of mine for this year's tournament is to have a continually running slideshow of pictures on one of the projectors. It would be great if I could have a computer set up with a media reader where people (coaches, spectators, etc) could insert a card and download their pictures to the computer to be immediately added to the slideshow. So, here's my idea: a kiosk-like program that allows a user to download all or some photos from a memory card (I've got one of those read-all-card-types readers that maps to four drives) to a folder that I specify in a config file (probably on a networked computer e.g. \\mycomp\slideshow\) in a datetime-stamped folder (to avoid name conflicts) with a minimum of user effort. Kind of like one of those photo kiosks that can be found at Walgreens, etc, but much simpler. Just a spash screen, a photo-select screen for once the user has inserted a memory card, a copying screen, and a done screen. Or something. I am a programmer, and if nobody is interested I will code this myself, so don't spend a lot of time on it. But, the members of this forum are much more talented than I am and so I'm sure you could whip something up easier than I could. Thanks, Nick Click here to read about and download the utility written by DC member to do this.. |
