.. during all those years and several versions / builds, i downloaded a lot of "unknowns" .. with the help of trainzkuidindex.com (mostly) and google .. and of course those fora .. and creators of routes & sessions ..
90% was stowed away in "packs" .. to extract one single or a few cdp's from such a pack, i used cdp-explorer 3.5 and/or 4.0 by silvergreen93 (vvmm 474195) .. you can choose in settings (f12) how you can compose the cdp export name ..
as i want the cdp-name begins with a kuidnumber i prefer version 4.0, because "unknown" has only a kuidnumber ..
on the other hand : in 3.5 i can directly drag a (pack).cdp into the cdp-explorer window and in 4.0 i have to "empty" the window by file/close all (or ctrl+w) before dragging ..
cdp explorer 3.5 / cdp explorer 4.0
to inventorize this collection of "missing dependencies" or "unknowns" (>100 gb!), i wanted to save them in an excel database ..
maybe someone knows a better (and easier) solution .. i really hope so, 'cause it's a huge job (i started a year ago, but i'm really lazy and lost my motivation) .. and yes, i know : i don't have to search for "unknowns" .. when there are untraceable missings and too less pointers, where to find precious little gemz, i better have to quit .. demolish that "unusable" creation and find my own inspiration ..
i know, really .. but it is a part of my journey .. my travel through foreign faraway minds .. my meeting with (almost) like-minded possesed creatures .. my quest ..
while pierre courbin (pierreparis 86528) will stop his terrific site trainzkuidindex (15 dec 2025), we have to work more together to find missing pieces ..
but i especially want to be able to search my own stock to see if i haven't already downloaded it somewhere ..
and maybe this kind of gathering will contribute to a better cooperation .. :
1 : save a (sub)directory listing to a .txt file :
- explorer -> rightclick directory with all the cdp's : open in terminal (win11) -or- open powershell window or command prompt and navigate to the folder using the "cd" command ..
- at prompt : cmd /r dir /s /b > filename.txt .. enter ..
=== note : the cmd /r part of this command tells powershell to execute the command as typed and then exit .. /s commands to look also in the subdirectories .. /b commands just a list of the \path\filenames themselves .. > commands to "print" to a .txt-file with the filename you choose (advice : use the folder name) ..
= or =
- use software like karen's directory printer 5.4.4 (https://www.karenware.com/powertools/karens-directory-printer)
.. result via powershell command(s) ..
2 : import .txt file in excel :
- 1st tab is the imported depspack.txt file .. at the moment >3000 rows (.xlsx file has a limit of 1.048.576 rows, so i can move forward for a while) ..
- to organize the quantity of rows you can group the "files" : file / data / overview / group /group .. upper leftcorner : 1 = fold all and 2 = unfold all ..
- 2nd tab is the gathering of all .cdp-files = the final tab, where you can search (ctrl+f) or can sort by kuid or name or .. ..
- other tabs are the gathering of large pack.cdp to process into the all-tab ..
3 : drag (pack)cdp into cdp-explorer window :
- file / export as csv .. use filename of pack (copy/paste) ..
- import pack.csv into a new tab and name the tab the same as the pack ..
- when converted, you can copy-paste the rows into the all-tab ..
.. this is not a thread to find your missings .. there are other places to meet, like : https://forums.auran.com/threads/missing-kuids-post-them-here.111942/ ..
let's find a solution for a central datacloud, where we share what we have ..
