hi,

im proud to present you my first tool Big grin
yesterday i downloaded some demos from the sunday night fuck vol 6 and i was very annoyed, because when i unzipped them they all were in al lot of sub directorys and it was a lot of work to get all the demos in the quake3 demo folder. so i thought about how this could be easier and wrote a tool that does all the work for you.

the tool works very easy. you start it and then you select your download path, for example "desktop" and you quake 3 path, for exampe "C:\Games\Quake3". the tool saves all paths so you only have to enter them one time!
the tool will now automatically search for all demo, config and map files in all directories and sub directories of you download path and move them automatically to the correct directory in your quake 3 folder. if the files do already exist in the quake 3 folder they wont be moved.
please make sure that all this paths exist:

<yourq3path>/baseq3
<yourq3path>/excessiveplus
<yourq3path>/excessiveplus/demos

plase note: im a beginner in coding so dont be to hard to me Big grin but i tested it and it works quite good for me. if you find bugs or have solutions feel free to post!

sarcasm? honestly, i like to sort my demos by explorer!
simply because i want to have my own demos in my demos folder and any other demo in another.
already happened to me that i overwrote a demo because i accidently put it in demo folder.

do i have to interpret ur post as that ur negative thinking about me?

small update to version 1.1

changes:

- the old version saved the paths in .txt files, the new version doesnt need the txt files and saves the path "intern" so you dont have annoying textfiles on your harddrive any more
- fixed a litte text bug, for sure it are .pk3 files and not .map files
- now the program also saves the checkbox settings, for example if you want to copy configs or not (in the old version the checkboxes always were on "checked" at start)
