Laz applications with sources

[flamer0n]

 Here are some Lazarus made applications (with sourcecodes) I want to share with those who want to learn Lazarus and FPC and/or use these apps if you find them useful

Hide My File - Utility for hiding/unhiding files in picture files
LazWinServiceMgr - WinUtility for managing windows services
Mp3FileRenamer - Utility for renaming Mp3 Files from ID3 Tag and vice versa
WinShaver - Windows Cleanup Utility
WordReplaceLZ - Utility that batch replaces words in text files
FPC Cross Compiler Maker - Dev Utility for Lazarus Developers for crosscompiler generation
LazProcessKiller - Utility for windows for killing win processes at given interval
LazFileTextSearch - Utility for full text search on plaintext,doc,pdf (doc&pdf use comobj) for Windows
LazWatchDog - Windows Utility that acts as a watchdog for processes and starts them if not running

Nice, thanks for posting.

FPC Cross Compiler Maker - Dev Utility for Lazarus Developers for crosscompiler generation

Do you have any suggestions/patches for the cross compilers in fpcup [1] by any chance

Oh I never knew this great tool existed, otherwise I wouldn't bother to publish this tiny helper for crossompiling I made for myself . I'll take a look into fpcup.

Thank you!

added more to the list , with sources of course...

@ flameron
Congratulations for this suite of utilities. And thanks for making them available to everyone. I'm glad to see the LazWinServiceMgr & LazProcessKiller. Most programmers often believe that such system utilities are best written in C/C++. I hope the WinShaver will evolve into something really useful on a par with say TuneUp Utilities, Glary Utilities or IOBit Advanced SystemCare which were all written in Delphi/C++ Builder.

Thanks again,

JD

 Nah, it's nothing special, I don't even remember why I started coding them , you can see the sources, they are all simple, but I thank Lazarus Team for making Lazarus available for everyone, because some programmers in some countries just can't handle high Delphi prices, which stops them to express what they got to 'say' with coding.

thank you

O I forgot to let you know that custom paths for cleaning can be added to WinShaver like:

create a file (WinShaver.ini)

add sections as you wish, just let Ident be "Path" and value anything you want

example:

[WinTemp]
Path=C:\Windows\Temp

[FireFoxTemp]
Path=C:\Users\fshkodra.KS\AppData\Local\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles

[ChromeTemp]
Path=C:\Users\fshkodra.KS\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default

Hay Thanks for sharing your codes, they will indeed be us full to learn from.
I like Winshaver

Just added another tool for full text search (with sources)

LazFileTextSearch for searching files based on their content. See the initial post.

[Leledumbo]

Mostly Windows, eh?

[flamer0n]

yeah, mostly, sorry. I just made this tool yesterday because I needed a quick solution for something I was working on, and I work mainly on windows. This was the best I could come up with, and I didn't do much research to see if there are any available components for fpc/lazarus that can read office docs and pdf files

[flamer0n]

Could it be possible to read text from PDF files using fpvectorial?

http://wiki.lazarus.freepascal.org/fpvectorial

[BigChimp]

The wiki page says
 Read support for PDF files, supports compression, only reads the first page
but perhaps that's outdated?

[flamer0n]

I got it from SVN and tried the code in the wiki

Code: [Select]

    Vec.ReadFromFile(FileNameEdit1.Text, vfPDF);
    Vec.WriteToStrings(Memo1.Lines, vfGCodeAvisoCNCPrototipoV5);

It fails opening any pdf file I got here, it raises exception "Unsupported vector graphics format" , so it probably doesn't fully support PDF.
