File Manager And Import Wizard
I need a file management program that will allow my users to keep track of imported files. The program should have simple file import wizard to allow users to import files and assciated folders into a central MY FILES files folder in the users My Documents. Typically, these files are stored on an SD cards root directory in two folders named RECORD and SNAPSHOTS. It should also check to make sure the files are not already imported and compare file data. Some files may have the same name but came from different units.
Import wizard should allow user to browse to the drive and folder where the files are stored. Have check boxes for selecting the file types to import. Allow user to create and name new folder for the files or select and existing folder to import to. There are two types of files to import that are contained in seperate filders. Each one is a binary file and has a .DAT file type and an image or folder with other files that will also have to be import with it.
The file manager should have a tree view of all the folders contained in the MY FILES folder. Some of the .DAT files being imported have an embeded thumbnail. The files with thumbnails should show the thumbnail in a list view and the files without thumbnails will have a generic thumbnail to display in the list view. The thumbnail should be clickable to open the full image associated with the thumbnail in a small popup viewer. Some files will have another program associated with them that is beyong the spec of this project. Next to the thumbnail will be some file information that is read from the file. Each file is in binary format and contains some general info such as date, time, file name, length. The user should also have the ability to add a description or notes in a text box for each of the files.
The application should also have menu features to create new folders and cut/copy/paste/delete files and associated folders. User should not be able to delete a folder unless he has deleted all the files in the folder first as a safety feature and dialog boxes should pop up asking the user to confirm the deletion.
The code MUST be in VB.net.
UI should be neat and simple with Menu and Menu Buttons. On installation it should create the MY FILES folder in the users My Documents. In the tree view, if the user has selected the highest folder, the program should search all sub folders and display the thumbs of all files in the sub folders of the tree. This way the use could select a specific folder to view only those files, or select the top folder to view all the files at once.
I have attached some sample files to view the file types and folder arrangement. The files have to remain in the appropriate folders when imported.
