Hi,
I'm interested in creating a quasi 'drop box style file management app' that sits on the taskbar.
The app will ideally:
- via a jumplist/deskband/thumbnail style list allow the activating of customizeable scripts to perform *.bat type file operations (i.e. create folder, copy, rename, datestamp the file, and open it for editing)
- via a jumplist/deskband/thumbnail style list allow for the dragging and dropping of files (ie. out of outlook) that will preform a customizeable file operation (i.e. create folder and copy to)
- incorporate the functionality, via the customizeable script (i.e. vbscript or similar) to load a user entry form for user entry prior to file naming etc during the file operations above
- allow for linking to a network stored config files, etc for uniformity across a number of users.
Basically the aim is to provide a means to provide quick, uniform project related file actions/storing on a company network. Without the need to have a full blown doc management system.
Maybe this already exists or someone could suggest some suitable development software and examples to look at? (Its been a while since I've done any serious programming but'd be interested in trying to make this work.)
Any tips much appreciated!
Cheers,
R
