Creates 1000 folders in 2 seconds.

Honestly, this is all it does. I'll release the very simple source, but just wondering if anyone wanted anything else added before I release an exe and source?

How it works, just so everyone understands

Two separate modes.

Manual Naming
Input your own names for the program to generate.
Can be listed together with commas for faster input,
Ex: "Apple,Banana,Clementine,Dorito"

Will be split into it's own respective folders to generate.

Single Name
Name folders under a specific name, multiple times (up to 1000).
Ex:
Name: Pictures
Quantity: 1000

Result: Pictures_1 to Pictures_1000 will be generated



Basic features, just looking for what people think.
Kind of a gag product, more then a serious development. If anyone actually would like something like this with a ton a features, suggest away and request it. I'll create a full fledged File and Folder management application.

Nice program.
This is useful. I like the theme Looks like the theme I first used for Project Giveback

Perhaps add the ability to name them?
Create folders that have a hierarchy and name them.
Also, the ability to make multiple folders in a hierarchy level would be great.

Example:
Biology > Homework > Other

The layout of the program is rather convuluted considering its purpose. Control alignment is bad.

It also looks like the iSynthesis theme which is incredibly ugly.

Good job though if you're new to program. As PJR said, you should add some from of tree view so people can create branches of directories and stuff. Then, once you've done that, maybe add JSON support. E.g. import .bashfull file which can read like:

{"folders":{"animals":["cats, dogs"],"music":{"rock":["Queen"],"0":"Indie"}}}

and then create folders for it. Something interesting, idk.

I used the FlatUI theme I had laying around, just waiting until I finish an application using it. The controls are pretty terribly programmed though.

Ex: Can't select an index with the Flat Listbox, which looks incredible. So it's kind of a trade off.

You can name the folders, I didn't explain how it works yet because it kind of would be pointless since it'll change.

I'll create a basis however.

I like the hierarchy idea though.

First of all, I asked for feature advice, not criticism.
Why? Because the context in which this was made was to see how fast I could do it, at 3 am.

So yes, I'm not going to bother about aligning everything perfect, when it'll just change in my final release.

The layout doesn't matter either, this is a very basic release, barely even a working version.

There's large gaps because I can easily add controls and re-arrange them.

FlatUI, not iSynthesis.

I'm no where close to new to programming.

Although, I like your ideas. Just propose them better.

I'll consider a treeview for the hierarchy for the folders.


Probably the file idea would be something like what you suggested, which would be generated and imported through the application itself.

I really don't expect this to become anything huge, if requested I can add a ton a features though and make it a full blown project.
Ex:
Folder Setup File Sharing
Advanced Folder Management features
etc.

If you're nowhere close to new to programming then why make something like this?

It's not exactly, forgive me, difficult: [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

Also, UI layout is pretty important always. If you're willing to use some FlatUI theme then you probably have the time to arrange controls less terribly.

Shoulda had the thread edit there at the start so people like me can understand why you're posting this kind of thread.

That link you provided, makes it more complicated then it really is.

I did this in maybe, 20 lines of code so far? If that. The whole program.

Dim quantint As Integer = singlequantity.SelectedItem.ToString
                    For foldernumb = 1 To quantint
                        Dim dircomplete As String = dirloc & FlatTextBox1.Text & "_" & foldernumb
                        Directory.CreateDirectory(dircomplete)
                    Next


Quick snippet. Realistically, that should only be, 3 lines of simple code.

For foldernumb = 1 to combobox1.selectedtext
Directory.CreateDirectory(dirloc & Textbox1.Text & "_" & foldernumb)
Next


As I said the controls are terrible, which is why I hardly use custom themes anymore.

But the general public think,
Functionality < Pretty GUI

How old are you? Are you daft, I specifically said this isn't even a picture of release. It will be rearranged. I've had success on programs created for this forum many times before. Not one complaint about this, or functionality for that matter.

Always about bugs and errors. Which are subsequently fixed.

So, yeah. Added, not fixed.

Well that link is Microsoft's example to show "create a folder on your computer, create a subfolder, create a file in the subfolder, and write data to the file." - here's a better link: [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

I can't believe one can claim to be so experienced at programming yet sticks to VB .net. VB .net is a fail of a language. It's syntax is disgusting and I'm just waiting for MS to disband it in favour of C# completely.

Also, the people that don't complain about your work are the people who don't do software development.

Good luck with "Rapido".

This tool is pretty cool and I think a lot of people would benefit from it.

The only feature I could think of is multiple selections, at the minute you can only create Folders. Maybe you could make a button for text files?

Not the best of suggestions but can't think of anything else.
