Super Update!

Now supports full console actions and running commands from a text file! Run fropmod ? for options.

 

Using the GUI:

Drag and drop a file to the dropbox at the top.

 

To set a date/time pair to the current date and time, right mouse click the control and hit Set to Now.

 

Hold Shift to use alternate options.

 

Hash is a slightly trimmed MD5 of the entire file, so large files will take a bit to compute.

 

Using the CmdLine:

 

FropMod uses a linear-style command line interface. Commands are linked together to perform tasks. Files are loaded using

fropmod f <filename>

or, to be compatible with native Windows functionality,

fropmod <filename>.
 
* Note that this mode will only function if the only parameter is the filename.

Avoid using wildcards in the filename, as they will not always act as excepted. If the working directory is changed, FropMod will correctly handle relative paths.

 

Every command after f applies to the file passed to f. There is no save command, so each operation is applied immediately.

 

If ? is used, the GUI is automatically suppressed and further actions are ignored. ? is not valid except as the first parameter.

 

nogui may be used at any place in the command string, except within parameters of other commands. It will suppress the creation of the GUI, and cause FropMod to exit immediately after all commands are parsed.

 

Attributes (a) use the following format: +-RASHOT (Read-Only, Archive, System, Hidden, Offline, Temporary). The attributes N, D, and C (Normal, Directory, Compressed) are documented, but read-only. The Offline attribute is not compatible with files on removable drives. Additionally, Normal only appears when all other attributes are removed.

 

Dates (d[m|c|a]) use the following format: YYYYMMDDHHmmss. Use the 24hr clock. I think these are broken right now (?) but if they work for you, great.  :blink:

 

Opening the file as an archive (z) extracts dependencies into a temporary folder, then opens the file through it.

 

Only 63 parameters can be passed through the command line (including both commands and their values) due to AutoIt limitations, but larger strings can be used in an .fm1 script, and be run fully.

 

FropMod Scripts (.fm1) are run using the e command. Technically they can be of any extension, but I may add action verbs to these files to run on double click in the future.

 

Format of an .fm1 script:

[FMScript]
;comment
command [parameter] ;comment
command [parameter] ;comment
;comment
...

In an .fm1 script, there is no limit to the number of commands that will be parsed. Limit one command per line, as the parser will break if they are stacked. Comments can be by themselves or in-line with commands, using a semicolon. All white space is trimmed off the end of a command, as well.

 

Scripts may be called from other scripts. Used properly, this allows for complex building of batch processing. HOWEVER, DO NOT COMMIT A MAJOR PROGRAMMING SIN AND CALL A SCRIPT IN ITSELF! This will kick off an infinite recursion that will quickly drag your system down to a speed at which an Apple 2 could compete. Moral of the story: be careful.  ;)

 

The sources use the WinAPIEx and Resources UDFs.

 

Here's the updated source and dependencies: fropmodsrc0.2.zip

Modifies timestamps and attributes of files and directory trees. Can be used to fix EPOCHed files in some cases. Supports Drag & Drop. Supports console actions and text file scripts. Included in the archive is the source, examples and compiled x86/x64 EXEs with icon.

cyberbit,

I wonder how many who downloaded it actually ran it? I only did so to check that it was indeed benign, given that you are unknown on the forum. :whistle:

Although you are perfectly at liberty to post only the compiled file, and in fact I will step in if anyone demands the source, both you and the community gain more if you post the original script. One of the great advantages of the forum is the chance to look over other peoples code and see how they did something - it is never too late to learn! And you will find people more willing to help if you offer something back. As an example, I would sugggest you learn how to strip unused constants and functions from your scripts using Obfuscator with the /StripOnly parameter - your .a3x files is 85k but I can get it down to only 13k by doing that. ;)

On another point, I am intrigued by your reference to "intellectual rights issues" as a reason for not posting the source. All I can see in that .a3x file are a few standard #include files (e.g. WinAPI, Misc, Crypt, GUIDateTimePicker, SendMessage), my NoFocusLines UDF and ~400 lines of not overly complex code which I presume were written by you. Just whose "intellectual rights" are at issue here? Please do not take this as anything other than a genuine interest on my part as to why you made that statement. And do not feel compelled to reply either - I am just being curious. :)

P.S. You might want to think about changing your avatar though. As you can see from the Forum Rules (I hope you have read them, by the way) "game" is not a word with which you want to be closely associated here. ;)

Hey Melba23,

Thanks for your reply, I always appreciate those who are helpful.

Being unknown is an unfortunate aspect of being new. I hope by trying to prove my non-malicious efforts my scripts will be more trusted. ^_^

I love the community of AutoIt and its open-source nature. I've learned countless things from you and other's UDFs, tips, and tricks. Learning AutoIt would be a pain without you guys!

I'll look into Obfuscator right now. That's a substantial size squish. ;)

In this case you're curiosity will be answered. I've had problems in other communities with stealing of rights to original work, so I ALWAYS start off any project with claiming "intellectual rights," basically an uber-abbreviated Creative Commons license. I do this often when I haven't fully completed a project, too, because if someone uses code that may do something unexpected due to unforeseen bugs, I don't want to get sued for the meltdown of a nuclear centrifuge. Actually, come to think of it, the EULA agreement tells you not to use it like that anyway. Heh. >_< A bit paranoid on my part, but I'm starting to trust this community more, so I'll slack off on that. Basically I'm wary of posting source for a project until I'm finished with it, unless I have a problem that I want solved or am in a good mood. I respect your genuine interest, and I hope that explanation suits you. :D

Just a quick note on NoFocusLines: I love your UDF. It's useful for all sorts of stuff. I'm still debating using it in FropMod because of the iffy "tabbing" capabilities. I'd much like my users to be able to quickly and easily TAB through the interface to select properties, but having no focus lines is a problem specifically with checkboxes, as there is no native "active" mode for Radio-style controls. I might use the control-specific settings in it, but I'm too lazy right now to implement it. ;)

Another reason I'm not posting the source quite yet is because it's very ugly and not really optimized too well. I'm working on that right now, actually.

Good tip on the avatar; didn't even think of that. I'll change it to P.B Solutions. XD

Regards,

Cyberbit

If you're using WinAPIEx then use _WinAPI_PathIsDirectory instead of _IsDir.
