I created an AI bot to explain changes made in a PR

I built this over a weekend because I had to review some painfully long pull requests (PR) at work (+2K) and I found myself skimming because I didn't want to think through that much code changes...

However, I still want to be a good steward of the codebase so with this at least I'm not gonna hate the process of code review as much. :)

​

It's free to use, you can check it out here: https://explainthispr.dev/

Cheers πŸ₯³

Looking for a way to open shortcuts on a specific monitor

I have a client who installs security cameras. They use a camera viewer app on windows 10 to view the cameras. The camera viewer pc has 4 monitors to view all 96 cameras. The issue is, when the computer is restarted, the employees have to open the app 4x and move that viewer app to the 3 other monitors. I would like to find way to automatically open that app 4x, on 4 different monitors. Any ideas?

Looking for Script That Will Allow me to Pause/Play Media Player in Different Window

Hello, everyone! As the title says, I'm looking for a script that would allow me to play/pause a media player in a different window (I'm currently using Windows 10 Pro). The reason I'm asking is because I often need to transcribe interviews, and being able to play/pause the interview without leaving the word processor would save me an immense amount of time (even when split-screening the time still adds up). Realistically, it wouldn't even have to be for the media player itself. Since I have both the word processor and interview up at the same time, a script that would allow me to click a specific part of the screen with a single key and then rubberband back to the word processor (or something like that) would work fine, too.

Also, in case I haven't given it away already, I'm a complete novice when it comes to writing scripts. I won't pretend for a second that I actually know what I'm talking about in terms of the technical aspects, haha. I'm just really in the market for something that could help me and figured that this could potentially be a good lead. I'm also happy to answer any and all questions that might help you as I am able. Thank you in advance, everyone! Have a nice day! πŸ™‚

How do you trigger a script right before a drive is unmounted

so lets say i will be ejecting the external drive through windows normal procedure. like clicking the tray then choosing the usb then clicking eject. so if i eject it i want windows to first run a script to get the folder and file structure within the drive then proceed to eject it.

if this is not possible then is there a script to eject a drive so i can just probably run the script then eject the drive

Link redirection tracer

Ideally a script that can go through batches of links and see the urls where they lead to and if they don't.

The closest I can get is a wget command:

wget --input-file=links.txt 2>&1 | grep Location: 

But this doesn't offer any way of telling if the url does not redirect anywhere so I can't compare the original urls.

[Question/Automation] - Advice (even in the broadest terms) for how to go about automating a reporting task.

Hello. I'm a complete newbie / beginner. I know nothing about code or scripting (bar a bit of VBA) but I have been set a random task and I'm just after advice for where to start. Thank you in advance to anyone who reads this.

The task is simply to automate a process that usually takes someone 15 mins every morning. The output of the task is distribution of certain daily sales data in a particular format.

The task can be broken down into three key steps:

  1. Open web browser, navigate to web-portal, run sales report, export report in excel format.
  2. Copy exported excel data into a separate spreadsheet (which contains certain graphs and tables).
  3. Open powerpoint file, update links (the file contains graphs and tables that are linked the spreadsheet above), export as pdf, attach to email and send.

If anyone could advise the what I'd have to learn to do to achieve this (even in the most broad terms), I'd be super grateful.

Btw, I'm fully aware that this manual/excel-dependent method of reporting is prehistoric... this is just what I have to work with :(

Thanks in advance again.

Can anyone make something will allow me to add multiple Smart Playlists into iTunes at once??

I have a lot of music on iTunes that I've organised into over 1300 Smart Playlists. I've exported all these Playlists as .xml files into a separate folder so I don't lose them.

I've recently upgraded my pc, which means importing all my Smart Playlists back into a fresh install of iTunes...and here comes the issue that I've had to deal with numerous times before:

You're forced to import the Smart Playlists one at a time.

You have to click File>Library>Import Playlist>Select Correct Folder (which is another 3 clicks)>DoubleClick on correct Smart Playlist.

Then repeat, for each and every Playlist. And, just to make things even more long-winded, every time you open the correct folder it starts at the top. By the time you're a few Playlists down, you're having to scroll down to the one you need. A massive pain after a few hundred or so. It's a huge design flaw.

I've searched and searched but come up with nothing. A few people over the years on the Apple Community Forums have claimed that you can just import the entire folder, like you can with music or film, and iTunes will see that it's a folder full of playlists and just them all.

You can't. I've tried so many times. You can't add the folder, you can't drag and drop (all or a single file). Really frustrating.

Is there anyone here who can hack the software so it will allow what I need, or someone who can make a script to add all the .xml files without me jumping through all the hoops??? Or something, anything (I'm not software savvy at all)?????

1300 .xml files added this way takes days. Literally.

Thanks in advance.

[Request] Merge Folders

Hello, I have lots of old backups that need some order.

They are all sorted quite differently.

I would like to have a script to start with, for just merging all folders that have the same name (Downloads, Documents, Pictures) and put them all in a Root directory.

Also if I could output info like file count etc would be nice..

Just need a starter here, can maybe do some coding myself, but don't really know much about files.

Any examples or similar type taksks would be helpful

[Question/Automation] How to start a Python script with Alexa?

Hello, so I know this might be a total noob question, but I have a script which I would like to start remotely, using voice commands.

The script is a headless browser (Selenium, Python) performing some startup tasks.

I would like to integrate this.

What I have available is an amazon Echo, And I suppose I will need to utilize my raspberry pi b for this(?)

Looking for specific macro script/software

Hello! I have specific problem with one program. There is a bar 0 - 100%. At start it's full on 50%. After you click start - after 1-2 seconds it can stay on 50% or go to 52, after 1-2 sec go to 54 or again stay 52 for some time.

I need some kind of smart visual macros with conditions. If bar doesn't move for 2 seconds - click 1, if it moves click 2.

Is it possible? Please share any ideas (i'm not a programmer and can't write scripts, can only read them).

Need help converting my script (AHK > HIDscript)

I'm new to scripting in general and I had at a time sat down for a few days to learn AutoHotKey so i could write a script to be even lazier in a game.
This script presses 1,2.3.4.5 in random intervals between 57, and 147ms so the games server doesnt detect a certain pattern. And as well, I just bought a new seperate Numberpad to used as a Macro Board, and I wanted to bind this to the [ENTER] key on that board.
Right now, for reasons I can't remember anymore it's started by pressing F2, then ends the loop when F1 is pressed, and I want this to be changed to [ENTER] Toggling it ON and OFF.
If anyone can help me out here this would be amazing, cheers!

[Request] Iterate through all sub-folders and copy/rename

I have a file structure with files with this name format:

xxxx_H.cat

xxxx_L.cat

​

I need to delete the _L.cat files and replace them with a copy of the _H.cat files.

Files that's don't have that name structure have to be ignored.

Whats the easiest way to do this with a batch or powershell script?
