Yep, do not laugh. Please don't :-) I have no other way. I am using IMatch
software for managing my images. I need it. I have huge collection over
25000 images all of them in this database.
As you may know I am preparing to open eBay store. I made selection of
images and now I need to get all prepared images on my computer from CDs
where I burned them after years ago. There is a lot of variants for the
same image and different types as well. If I would just switching CDs I
would have to put same CD maybe multiple types as I come to different
images. I needed to make some automatization.
So I have written VB script for IMatch which goes through all images I
have selected for eBay store. Find out on which CD they are. Than it only
tells me to insert necessary CD in order from lowest index to highest. Very
handy. After few minutes I have all images on HD and can work further.
I was working on this script for two evenings and it is now working. It
was nice again to code and design a bit. Even I hate visual basic :-) You
know I have over 20 years of software design experience and I just loved
C++. My last work was in java and still doing some php. I like them as
well. Especially for easy way to make what is needed (php) or nice logic
behind java.
So that what was keeping me busy for last two evenings. I am looking to
time when this eBay store will be running and I can do again something more
photography oriented :-)
