ArchbotLit

25 Monday Nov 2019

ArchbotLit is a new searchable database for “literature on archaeological remains of cultivated plants since 1981”. For those dashing in to do a quick test of ArchbotLit, the search-box is not immediately obvious. I had results via the tiny box up at the top-right of the page…

Got itchy breadcrumbs in your Google Search results? The new UserScript Google Search restore URLs (undo breadcrumbs) works for me.

You’ll want to add the following to prevent it working on Google Books…

Dead Carrot

The Carrot2 search-engine appears to be kaput. It’s been down for days now, unable to show results. Multiple different browers, on different systems, even different VPNs, give no results. A query can be input, but… no results. Even a TOR browser can’t get it to respond. Such a pity, it was so promising.

Merge multiple folders of the same name

How to easily merge multiple folders of the same name, using only Windows Explorer.

You have a folder structure that looks something like this:

ResultsSet1
   | Data
         |Photos
         |Meta
         |Location
ResultsSet2
   | Data
         |Photos
         |Meta
         |Location
ResultsSet3
   | Data
         |Photos
         |Meta
         |Location

You want to extract and merge just the “Data” folders. Each sub-folder should follow along and also be merged with its brethren.

1. If your folder structure is inside a .ZIP or .RAR, then extract. Then open up Windows Explorer and go to the top-level view for your target folders.

2. Make a new empty folder there called “Data”, to sit high among the ResultsSet1, ResultsSet2, ResultsSet3 etc folders.

3. Keyword-search for “Data” using Windows Explorer, and constrain the search to just your target folders.

4. Shift-select the results (they should be all the sub-folders named “Data”), then right-click to copy them.

5. Paste them into the top level of your target folder set. Window will spot the empty “Data” folder you just made, and merge in all the pasted “Data” folders.

You end up with a single amalgamated…

   | Data
         |Photos
         |Meta
         |Location

This takes advantage of a Windows 8 feature where copy-pasting folders of the same name will cause an automatic merge operation. This operation will interrupt the user only with a query about replacement of any duplicate files.

Thus there is no need for use of the Windows command-line, Windows PowerShell, 7-Zip or third-party freeware to accomplish such a basic “copy and combine” operation on folders of the same name.

JURN’s indexing has been updated, re: the New PubMed.

The new PubMed will become the default in spring 2020 and will ultimately replace the legacy version.
