Where did I put this image ?

Last night I could not sleep. Aunt Ester is coming tomorrow and I

promised here to show her some pictures I took of her many years

ago. I knew I had included those pictures in some nice family photo

albums I made with "PicturesToExe" but being married so many times

(to different wives of course) I had so many families and twice more

photo albums. How the hell I'm going to find aunt's Ester photos ?

I spent few hours running my shows but no aunt Ester. It was late

already and I was very sleepy. I thought to myself, how nice it could be

if only I had a small program to search for me aunt's Ester photos in

my over 200 shows.

So I unpacked my hoe and shovel rolled back my sleeves and get to

work. And here it is, my last creation, which I was too tired to name, so

just call it "Where did I put this image ?"

Two clicks only !

One click will open a box where you write what you are looking for.

It can be image name, part of image name, part of text, ...whatever.

On second click you will browse for folder or drive to make the search

in. Now just sit and relax, let the slave work. If you have many files it

can take few minutes. The program first will collect all your pte files.

Then it will check line by line for your desired search. Each time when

something is found, a message box will let you know. When search is

finished, you will find a text file called "Found.txt" in program folder.

(You can save the results if you want or just view them). In this file all

founds will be listed like these samples:

Name of file:

C:\Thailand\Chiang Mai Temples.pte

Path of image file:

C:\Thailand Photos\Temple.jpg

Line number: 644

Slide number: 40

Name of file:

C:\Thailand\Chiang Mai Temples.pte

Path of image file:

comment1=wat chedi luang Temple

Line number: 644

Slide number: 40

Name of file:

C:\Thailand\Chiang Mai Temples.pte

Path of image file:

object3_text13=Celebration at wat chedi luang Temple

Line number: 3531

Slide number: 13

As you noticed, the search will find main image, Image Object,

Text Object, Comments and so on.

I hope this program will make your life easier.

Obviously you can see I was half drunk while making this one,

so if you find any bug... just cook it

Where is the manager here ??? !!!!

(maybe now I will get some feedback...... ... huuummm...)

Well Granot, being of sound mind and good intent and not half drunk, I will accept great privilege of seeing if your latest is evidence sufficient to convict you of PUI. I want you to know though, this is a great sacrifice on my part. I've been shooting pix for 4 days in an exciting location and I am really more eager to do something with those photos. But true friend that you are, how can I ignore your blatant but sincere request for some response?

[boxig]

I appreciate your sacrifice but I need comment about my utilities and not about my poor mental state. So your sacrifice did not contribute a bit to my gloomy mood. What I need is the ultimate sacrifice, which means, some bored people (like me) who have nothing better to do than to check my utilities in and out. I promise to contribute all bugs found to the nearest National Park and even not to charge anyone for helping me.

But I have a devious idea: Any utility which will not get a feedback for 30 days will be removed (huumm... why I didn't think of it before...). But to get a bit serious, I am desperate ! There is no one to check my "AutorunMenuWindow". So as long as you are not willing to check the free utilities I lose nothing, but no check on "AutorunMenuWindow", which is a shareware, means I can't upload it yet and I probably lost few millions till now (or maybe some innocent people will be ready to buy a Beta version full of bugs ?).

I think my hangover is fading now and better do some useful things like going out to the grocery and buy some food. And before I go, "AutorunMenuWindow" is here.

Now, where did I put my 10-page review of Where did I put this image?

Guess my expurgated version will have to do.

This little utility works fine and simple. I wonder what you do with it?

I'm sorry Granot, don't know what has gotten into me.

Truth is - it is well designed and very easy to understand and make the two clicks. The program did work to find my test images. My only reservation is that in many cases I could probably just use Windows "search" feature. However, there are cases where I have many copies of similar, slightly modified, photos, where the ability to find the exact one being used in a PTE project would be useful. But with some tasks, it is hard to remember the existence of a utility that I don't use often. Know what I mean?

Conclusion: It works well and I found NO bugs! Thank you as always for making this stuff available.

And now, I will move to the more interesting (for me) AutorunMenuWindow. Maybe I can help you make it so millions of us would be willing to pay you for it.

Windows "Search" ??? - Ha, Ha , Ha...

Will it tell you also if the search is a main image, an object image, a comment, on what pte file and which slide number ?

Remember that search is done only in pte files and not in all your files and you get a text file with detailed results.

I'm sorry Granot, don't know what has gotten into me.

Too much drinking ?
