Select multiple files in the same folder from a list of file names

I'm a wedding photographer.  Each marriage record is 700-1000 pictures.  When our wives to order their photos, you must select each photo to download to the printer.  I want to know if there is a way to just a list in the folder search bar which will show only the photos in the list on this issue?  I can't get it to do 1 photo at a time.

Hello, Airborne4905!

If I understand, you have a list of files that you want to print automatically. Well, for this, you must create a script. Below I show you a simple script.

Now, assume that you have a d:\print.txt file that contains the names of the files in the folder in c:\users\public\pictures\sample pictures\ with a file name on each line, for example:
Greek.jpg
Dock.jpg
Forest.jpg

Then you have a file named print.vbs that contains the following script code:

Set objShell = CreateObject ("Wscript.Shell")
Set shell = CreateObject ("Shell.Application")
Set objFS = CreateObject ("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set objFile = objFS.OpenTextFile ("d:\\print.txt", 1)
strFileContents = objFile.ReadAll

arrLines = Split (strFileContents, vbNewLine)
For each strLine in arrLines
strFile = "C:\\Users\\Public\\Pictures\\Sample Pictures\\" & strLine
hull. StrFile ShellExecute' ', '', ' print '.
objShell.Run "mspaint/p" & Chr (34) & strFile & chr (34), 0, True
Next

objFile.Close

If you want to print all the files that you specified in your d:\print.txt file, you simply run the print.vbs file.

Note:
1. the strFile = "C:\\Users\\Public\\Pictures\\Sample Pictures\\" & strLine line contains the path to your images folder - if you need browse another folder, just edit this string (note that you must keep the double-bar reverse oblique to the reverse slash single-bar place that you normally use!).
2. the Set objFile = objFS.OpenTextFile ("d:\\print.txt", 1) line contains the path to the file where you list the images to print. Change the path to reflect the actual path of the file.
3. If you need a more elaborate version or some other questions about scripts, please ask questions in the Forum Microsoft Scripting Guys on http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en/ITCG/threads/.

I hope this helps!

    Make sure you download both files from there. https://helpx.Adobe.com/Creative-Suite/KB/CS3-product-downloads.html

    Compare the size of the file and you will have to perhaps disable all anitvirus during download and install it.

  • How can I download multiple files or documents in the same folder of destination without redirecting every time?

    I often download 20 or if another company system files and save them in the same folder on my hard drive. Is there a way to "fix" the destination for files or documents folder when I download?

    Hi BruceBear,

    When you download files, Windows usually saves in the downloads folder, which is located under your user name in the users folder on the drive where Windows is installed (for example C:\Documents and Settings\nom of utilisateur\Mes Documents\Downloads).

    When you save the file, you can choose to save it in a different folder. By default, some file types are saved in different folders. For example, if you right-click on an image on a Web page and then choose Save picture as on the menu, the image will be saved in the default photos folder.

    You cannot specify a particular folder to be the destination for downloads.

  • IMac is not able to share multimedia files with multiple users on the same computer.

    We just bought a new IMac that we were very excited.  We have phones Apple and iPads, replacement and ten year with a new Mac old PC made since.

    Now, the trouble begins. For more than ten years Windows had several usernames on the same machine and have been able to have a shared folder only for music, pictures and video that my iTunes program and others could acsess and share from several user names. This kept all in one place for new photos families by me or my wife and our 30 gigabytes of music that comes from our CDs was available at bolt of us. Now in train to implement on IMac should be easy but is impossible.  after transferring the music to my login information, it cannot acsess all files on my login. I am not even able to share or provide his acsess. I can move the iTunes folder to my shared folder. She can get acsess now but iTunes says that the library file is locked. I worked with care from Apple on the phone for that sold, but they believe it will not be possible without creating two copies of the 30 gigabytes of music for each of us. who would take more hard drive when it failed too.  Sharing is not any help. These files were before iTunes. I'm not pay 30 dollars a month to store in icloudcor use a google reader slow to the Internet connection when everything's fine here. Apparently Applow programmers do not believe in sharing of multimedia files between two users on the same device, even if a PC does that very well. My choice here is so far have duplicates of all the photos, music and videos loaded on the disc for me and my wife, charge all the media for an external hard drive which for some reason any all Apple programs will share, or return the mac to another PC that will be able to make several connections with sharing music and photos. Apple if you are reading this you are 10 years behind on that. Not everyone is born in the last five years and bought their music on iTunes to be able to use home sharing. Home sharing cannot help this. your applications should be able to be told to use the media files shared without import copies to readers of the user. I am very disappointed. Someone else has any ideas for that?  I have pictures, not iPhoto. I have a week more to be able to return it. I'm not interested in making a fake account that is always connected to share or maintaining of me constantly connected. It should have been easy, I had to be happy to play with new software.

    Photos, iPhoto and iTunes libraries must appear on an external hard drive that is formatted as shown below to be used by multiple users on the same Mac:

    So get a properly formatted external HD and move your iPhoto/pictures of her as well as your iTunes library.  This way all your iMac users can access and use both libraries.

    An alternative to the external HD method is to partition your internal hard drive into two partitions, one for libraries.  It is formatted as shown above and be large enough to contain the libraries and allow the expansion of libraries.

  • Highlight the files, done Windows double job with them to the same folder. Huh?

    So often, when I copy files, I note several if I do not quickly, Windows (XP 64-bit) is suddenly double job with them in the same folder.  Usually when I'm using the control button and clicking several with my mouse.  Is this a bug?  Not sure who in their right mind would want this feature.  How can I get rid of this constant irritation?

    Hello 2vsllsk,

  • I use Thunderbird on multiple computers to the same gmail account but I have a laptop with little memory, so I need this laptop only to download a few files

    I use Thunderbird on multiple computers to the same gmail account. I have a small laptop with very little memory and it runs out of disk space when it downloads all my folders. I would only download some of my file on the laptop, but keep all the folder on my other computers because they do not have problems with disk space. When I unsubscribe records in 'manage folder subscriptions' then he cancels his subscription on all my computers, not just the laptop. When I go to 'Properties' on the folder and sets 'retention individual police' these settings are not applied at all. What can I do?

    All of the messages in each folder will appear in your message list. But this does not mean all the bodies of messages are downloaded, if you have properly configured the parameters of the disk. If what I described above stuck in your settings then Message body should be downloaded only 'on demand' when you click on each message.

    To confirm this install the addon glodaquilla, which has a column "on the disk" that indicates if a message is on the disk. If you want, after you have installed the addon set Thunderbird to work offline, so it does not download message body when you click in the list of messages.

  • Why are some of my file names have black fonts and some in the same folder have blue fonts?

    In the same folder, some of my file names appear suddenly in blue font and others in black letters. What is the meaning of the different colored fonts?

    Open Windows Explorer.  Click Tools > folders and select the view tab.  Scroll down to "Display encrypted or compressed NTFS files in color" selected?  Change the display of the Explorer WIndows if you change this option?  Generally, the encrypted files are shown in green and compressed files (i.e. zip files) are indicated in blue, while the normal files are represented in black.  They can also be colored differently if they are on a different partition or files have been created while the computer is connected to a different domain.

    I was wondering if it is possible to have multiple windows of the same file open at the same time in Windows XP?

    Thank you!

    You're welcome, Dave. If you click directly on a file, it will be open only once.  That's why I gave an example of starting with work stations and by navigating to the folder (open indirectly).  You can access a the desktop folder in C:\Documents and Settings\\Desktop.

  • Had a project done with first elements 11.  All media files and PRE files were in the same folder on an external hard drive.  Received a new computer, loaded first items 11 (which of course doesn't recognize not all previous projects as it is)

    Had a project done using first items 11 (the file exported and posted on youtube).  All the media files and PRE files associated with this project were located in the same folder on an external hard drive.  Got a new computer, responsible for first 11 elements (which of course doesn't recognize not all previous projects because it is a new installation) and now cannot open the original project to make some adjustments (connected to the external hard drive of course)...  Even tried to open the last saved auto program as well, no luck.  Just get a shell of the original project, but no real media file is passed in. Then get a prompt asking you where the file "rendering-3090026..." (20 More digits) is located.  Looking for C drive and external hard drive without success. Help!

    Which operating systems are involved - old and new?

    The external drive has the same drive letter on the new computer as it did when it was used on the other computer?

    Where are the video preview and the old led, Audio preview files compared to new? See Edit Menu/preferences/Scratch discs?

    Are all the place where is the file... messages just to render files? If all are for rendering files, what happens if you click ignore for their

    messages? Can you enter into the project and render it again if necessary and proceed with the project?

    Please see the bulletin. With the above information, we will decide which way to go? It seems that a media disconnect situation has developed in

  • Several files in the same folder on vCenter sysprep? What Miss me?

    KO.vmware.com/Ko/1005593

    OK - this is a great doc for sysprep files into the correct folders, but I'm confused on multiple versions.

    It is said to put multiple versions of Windows 2003 sysprep in the same folder (svr2003) and even for XP.

    Are we supposed to use only the most recent version of the sysprep file? We cannot put multiples of the same file name in the same folder.

    I know it I'm missing something simple here someone please report.

    Thank you!

  • Print to pdf in the same folder the original file

    Is possible to automate this process:

    1. any application, choose Save as pdf (print to PDF or print to a pdf printer).
    2. Save the file in the same folder the original file;
    3. set the password (no copy) this new file?

    Thank you.

    Gianluca.

    The original and the PDF files have different extensions, so they can be saved in the same folder.

    Regarding automation you might see if you can use Automator to do. Find it in your Applications folder.

    Where the photos are normally stored on a Mac computer? In the folder images in the Finder on my Mac, I have a file named "Library.photoslibrary Photos" i.e. 28.52 gb and another folder called 'iPhoto Library.migratedphotolibrary' i.e. 4.95 GB, but then I have also on the 160 other photo and video files in the same folder. But in my Photos app, it says that I have 6 260 'elements '.

    The pictures that you have imported into the photo library are, by default, stored inside the package (not file) "Library.photoslibrary Photos" in your pictures folder. The 'iPhoto Library.migratedphotolibrary' package would contain photos that have been stored in your library, iPhoto at the time of the migration.

    The other files in the pictures folder are that: other files. Also, they can be in libraries if you imported and has not deleted the copies lying around in the images.
