File disambiguators (1): Explorer/W11
Óla! So Explorer adds (n) to a file with a duplicate name to an existing one. Do you have suggestions how to easily identify and delete them? The search option doesn't recognize parentheses, so a search would merely identify files with that number in the title. The reason for asking is that if a folder has a large number of duplicates that should be deleted, it would be easier to sort/select/delete rather than ctrl+click individually. Thank you! 2.28.124.91 (talk) 16:31, 28 December 2024 (UTC)
- https://www.alldup.de/alldup_help/alldup.php and then set it to compare 100% of the content. Polygnotus (talk) 17:16, 28 December 2024 (UTC)
- Thank you Polygnotus, that's great, and freeware too. It looks like it might take some getting used to! Cheers, 2.28.124.91 (talk) 18:13, 28 December 2024 (UTC)
- Use a better search program - FileLocator will find
* - Copy (*).*, and I'm sure there are others with will also do the job. - Use the command prompt, eg
dir "* - Copy (*).*"works. (You can also usedelsimilarly, but do so with caution and at your own risk.) - Mitch Ames (talk) 09:35, 2 January 2025 (UTC)

Selecting multiple items in checkbox on this website. Is there an easier way?
Please look at this link:
On the left of the web page you will see a checkbox "Status" with 3 items checked. The problem I have is that the only way I can get multiple items checked is by editing the URL. If I just click on an item in a checkbox on this website the other items get unchecked. In other words: the checkbox works like radio buttons. I tried a different browser; I tried ctrl-click and shift-click and alt-click. Nope. On other websites (here for example) I do not have this problem. Do you experience the same inconvenience? And if so any ideas on how to do this easier than by url editing? 213.126.69.28 (talk) 11:55, 30 December 2024 (UTC)
- Not necessarily AFAIK, and that's coming from someone with experience in web design. You're unfortunately seeing their poor web design. TheTechie@enwiki (she/they | talk) 00:17, 31 December 2024 (UTC)
Windows 10 Bin
Doing a quick search online I realized that the path to the Windows recycle bin is C:\$Recycle.Bin; however, for some reason I don't understand, it doesn't seem to be the "Recycle Bin" on the desktop, they just seem to be two different paths (explanatory screenshot at the following link: ). Are they actually two different paths? If so, why? If not... why aren't the two windows synchronized? 2A01:827:160:D601:2E75:E3BA:BBBF:B55D (talk) 14:35, 30 December 2024 (UTC)
- C:\$Recycle.Bin has the recycle bins for all users. Yours will appear with the normal name and icon, the others will appear as the Security Identifier of the respective account. If you click on the one for your account, it should show the same contents (note Windows Explorer shows the files which are in the recycling bin - it does not show the actual files storing the data used by the recycling bin). As for why they are different, it's hard to say without more information. If you delete something, does it appear in both or just one?

Question(s) about Arch Linux
Moved from User talk:TheTechie § Aaaaarrrrchh brrr!
@TheTechie ... A question? Do you used archinstall to install Arch Linux? I think i will install Arch Linux, cause, i want BTW Vitorperrut555 (talk) 23:31, 1 January 2025 (UTC)
- Moved this here as I found this to be a better place for it. As for your question, no, I used text commands. Though I may be able to help. Any specific questions? TheTechie@enwiki (she/they | talk) 00:32, 2 January 2025 (UTC)
- @Vitorperrut555 TheTechie@enwiki (she/they | talk) 00:41, 2 January 2025 (UTC)
- When I installed Arch Linux, I used a live-boot USB. Once booted, it has an "install" icon that can be used to do a basic install. Then, once installed, you can customize it by removing and adding the packages you like. 68.187.174.155 (talk) 15:42, 2 January 2025 (UTC)
- 68.187.174.155, I think you're confused. Archinstall is a command on Arch Linux, and the Arch Installer boots in text mode. You may be thinking of an Arch derivative like Manjaro or EndeavourOS, which do indeed boot up in graphical environments. TheTechie@enwiki (she/they | talk) 20:23, 2 January 2025 (UTC)

Bayeux Tapestry website
What image-serving technology is the new Bayeux Tapestry website using, and how can high-res images be downloaded? Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 20:59, 2 January 2025 (UTC)
- @Pigsonthewing Welcome to the Reference Desk for Computing. Are you trying to download all images, or only specific ones? If you reply here, please ping me. Thanks, TheTechie@enwiki (she/they | talk) 00:54, 3 January 2025 (UTC)
- The former preferably, but an answer for either would be of interest, as the technology is likely in use elsewhere. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 16:46, 3 January 2025 (UTC)
- According to their terms of use, "Access to this panorama is free for a private or public non-commercial use. Any commercial use of this tool is prohibited, as well as the extraction of images from this panorama" (my emphasis). This may or may not bother you. Chuntuk (talk) 18:24, 3 January 2025 (UTC)
- Even more, the "images" which get loaded are tiled portions of the actual image. TheTechie@enwiki (she/they | talk) 19:11, 3 January 2025 (UTC)

Zoomify
Is it possible to download the map La ligne de démarcation that is shown via Zoomify?--Antemister (talk) 22:48, 4 January 2025 (UTC)
- Yes, if you google "download zoomify image" you will see various ways. Polygnotus (talk) 23:44, 4 January 2025 (UTC)
- Ah, of course I googled before and found that but was not successful. So I asked here.--Antemister (talk) 11:31, 5 January 2025 (UTC)
- Please mention what you've already tried before and what did not work and what happened instead (e.g. error messages). Polygnotus (talk) 04:57, 6 January 2025 (UTC)
- Tried and of course also the dezoomify tool but got immediately stuck because I was not able to find an URL. Very few programming skills, none regarding HTML, that's why I ask here.--Antemister (talk) 10:46, 6 January 2025 (UTC)

- Ah, of course I googled before and found that but was not successful. So I asked here.--Antemister (talk) 11:31, 5 January 2025 (UTC)
- @Antemister:
- I wasn't able to download the file as it was taking forever, but this URL appeared to download the files for 30+ minutes on a fast internet. Let us know if this works. TheTechie@enwiki (she/they | talk) 03:19, 8 January 2025 (UTC)
- I've successfully taken images off the IWM via their source code and dezoomify, but I'm puzzled as to how to extract images here, as Dezoomify appears to be perpetually stuck on 'preparing tiles load'. The longest I've seen it take for large images in the past is a couple of minutes. Like Antemister, I've little programming knowledge, but I think the following elements in the code are related:
- <script type="text/javascript" src="ZoomifyImageViewerFree-min.js"></script>
- <script type="text/javascript"> Z.showImage("myContainer", "images/France_LD"); </script>
- On going to http://cartesmich.free.fr/images/France_LD/ I get error 403. Perhaps this website is savvy about theft of its most high-resolution public domain images. Maybe someone has the patience to hunt about in the browser console. JayCubby 04:51, 8 January 2025 (UTC)
- If they're public domain images, it's not "theft". Please avoid such misleading and perjorative language. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 10:52, 8 January 2025 (UTC)
- It's still potentially in violation of their ToS (not that I much care) and could, per my reading of my law (assuming this is an american website, which it isn't) run afoul of something like the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act.
- The ToS is a reasonable concern, which is why I said theft. JayCubby 15:53, 8 January 2025 (UTC)
- Even if all you say were true (It's highly doubtful; there appear to be no published terms of service - much less any that a user agrees to before viewing the site; and in any case we are not all in the USA), it's still not theft. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 16:11, 8 January 2025 (UTC)
