I've made a little C# app that detects the currently selected file in Windows explorer, and shoots it to a little IoT widget with an attached LCD screen.
Right now, it's just the filename and icon, but I can add whatever - a content preview or something.
The trouble is, it's not very useful. It's at best, a novelty, but maybe there's an angle I hadn't considered - some tweak I could do to it to *make* it useful.
Any of you have ideas?

Does it work when there are multiple Explorer windows?

It deals with whichever windows thinks is the most current.
I can grab all of them but the thing is that I can't really display much info in the case of multiple files on one of these little screens.

Sounds like the making of an aimbot

Add a mapping layer in the C# code so that certain file extensions/matches deposit to different locations in the IoT file system.
Generic regex rules.
Add a debug option that displays the transfers that would occur.
Demo app for the device could be a rotating photo display.

There is no filesystem on the widget, but there is an SD card writer. Problem is transmitting over CDC USB Serial and then over 1 wire SPI to the SD card will be dog slow, so it's not much of an option as a "fancy jump drive with a screen"
rotating photo thing is what i think ships with the stock firmware for the device I'm currently using. I think I'd like to cover new ground.
I mean, i can show file content previews of the currently selected file in explorer potentially but to what end?

If the transfer is slow, then creating a batchable transfer might be useful. Setup a batch, then go eat your lunch.
Without the IoT, I have utilities that convert selected items to text lists in files and the clip board via Windows SendTo folder. It is a much simpler technique.
Didn’t you do some work with ZIP formats? Fonts? SVG? Combine this?
Good luck figuring it out.
Maybe adapt it for a different target device?

If you're showing "file atributes", I'd expect to see the file size (KB) and the last modified date also.
From there you go to: create date; image dimensions; size of file vs size on disk; etc.
A "file attribute" popup.

Hey, I think it would be very useful if it calculated the MD5 hash.
And if it's an executable file, if it told whether the file is a 32-bit or a 64-bit executable, that would also be useful.

The app should just read the filename and do it. For example:
Filename: WakeUp.txt - the IoT should activate a soft velvet fan to sway on the head, with a soft music, for waking up gently from bed.
Filename: Sleep.txt - the IoT should switch off all the lights in the house, and more importantly, switch off the internet router (don't want notification disturbances when I'm sleeping), for the night (and switch on at say, 6 am).
Additional functionality needed for the above - is a kind of cron job. And something more than just an LCD screen.
And so on for the daily chores. What others?

As a slight modification to this idea, make the IOT device configurable to look in a specific subdirectory rather than the currently selected file in Explorer, and give it the ability to recurse the files in it. Each file may be a separate XML or other data structure, that tells the IOT device to do things it is capable of. Kind of like .BAT files of the past.

Classroom.
Every students computer has the tiny display facing the teacher. So the teacher can make sure they are messing with what they should be and staying away from what they shouldn't.
Consider it as the teacher wanders around the room aimlessly.

The man is talented and he can sure play the blues.
Met him back in early 80s at a night club I was working, awesome gentleman.

Who? Chuck Berry, Bruce Springsteen or Michael Fox?

Chuck Berry had originally wanted the lyrics to be a "colored boy named Johnny B. Goode", but the tenor of the times would not allow it, so it got turned into "country boy ...".
