Tool: ISBN to Name

MarkDXG · 10-04-2010, 08:25 AM

Hi,

I've written a little tool to scan a folder, find books named by ISBN, and then query Amazon and then let you choose to rename the files to the proper names. eg:

0672331195.pdf

becomes

WPF 4 Unleashed.pdf

You can get it from here
http://www.rapidspread.com/file.jsp?id=yk8sw0gluv
or
http://www.zshare.net/download/8110755114fce5fb/

[requires .NET 4 - it will auto download this for you]

The save cover image and include publication date options don't work, and it may very well bomb if you have duplicate files. but it should be good. (it's a beta though so YMMV)

If anyone has any suggestions feel free to post and I'll incorporate them.

[PLEASE INSURE YOU BACKUP YOUR FILES JUST IN CASE! BACK THEM UP!!! SAVE A COPY OF THEM SOMEWHERE SAFE!!!]
