Hi,

I use a little Java app called qrSend to generate QR code on the file and send it to my phone via phone's QR app over home wifi, I prefer this method to copy files from my PC to android for privacy reasons.

So instead of 1 file per QR scan, I'm looking for a script where I can collect various items from different folder paths, then send to this qrSend app to generate a QR image for my phone to scan and download. Basically just collect a bunch of stuff and run the QR app to generate a code.

Thanks

Another solution would be to launch a FTP server (I'm using FTP Widget) on the phone and then access it over WiFi with a FTP program. Since I'm too lazy to browse my phone in a seperate program, I 'have set up some WinSCP batch scripts, some examples:
1. Phone\DCIM folder -> computer\phonepictures folder - with one click the script downloads all new pictures from phone to computer.
2. Selected files -> phone\INCOMING folder - with one click I can upload files to a specified folder in my phone.

It's totally portable too, when not at home, then I just have to change the IP address in the batch file.
Actally I have a seperate txt file for the IP adresses of all my devices and the batch gets them from the file.

Suppose you collected a bunch of items into a paper folder, or searched for them, or did a flat view, or somehow got those items into the same list.

Now select all those items, paste the following script into Menu > Script > Run script, edit the variables $qrSendApp and $cmdargs appropriately, then press OK/CTRL+ENTER.

I didn't really understand the exact set of tasks you want to automate; This script will simply run the qrSend app with each selected file. If the app allows specifying output path, specify it in $cmdargs.

Create a user button for a paperfolder.

E.g.: Name: paper:DropStack
If you use a different name, change the $pf variable in the script to it^^
The qrSend installer on windows puts the qrSend.exe into the %APPDATA%\qrSend folder. Hence the content of the variable $qrSend in the script. Change it if necessary. I've tested it, worked fine...

Use a script like:

Thanks everyone! highend's paperfolder solution works great for me.

    $files = replace(formatlist(paperfolder($pf, , , "r"), "q", "<crlf>"), "<crlf>", " ");
    run """$qrSend"" $files";

Works great, thanks!

Is there a way to auto clear the files in the paperfolder once QR is generated?

It's cleared after you've clicked on the qr-image (do dismiss it).

Awesome, thank you!

Kinda offtopic, but i wanna leave this notice for users like myself, who might read and think that this qrSend is some interesting app(no, it's not). qrSend simply generates a qr-link, which corresponding qrSend installed on smartphone does interpret to make a connection over wifi, and make same as usual transfer. So no privacy here or any benefit compared to ftp transfer.

It was a request from the op he wasn't looking for any other benefits...
