一鍵將 iOS Illustail 的圖片傳到 Synology NAS

需求、目標群眾

  1. 使用 Illustail iOS 版的人,或是平常喜歡抓 Booru、Twitter 類圖片的人。
  2. 有群輝 NAS。
  3. iOS 裝置空間不夠用。

什麼是 Illustail

Illustail 是一個專門用來閱覽、下載、搜尋網路上 Booru 圖片網站的 iOS App。你可以在 iPhone、iPad 或 Mac 上使用它,並且可以輕鬆地把圖片儲存到裝置或雲端空間 。Illustail 支援多種圖片網站,包括 TINAMI、Danbooru、Tumblr、Twitter、Misskey 和 Mastodon。
自帶 iOS 桌面小工具,可以用來點綴你的桌面。

簡言之, Illustail 就是幫助你在 iOS 上色色的工具啦。

免費版本會有廣告,你可以選擇付費消除廣告加以支持 App 作者。

問題

我的 iPad 儲存空間存圖很快就滿了! 而且 Illustail 在 2023 唯一提供的雲端儲存選項只有 Dropbox。而 Dropbox 免費版只有 4.75 GB,根本也不夠用啊~~

明明有好大的群輝 NAS 卻不能用不是很可惜嗎!?
所以本篇簡述如何使用群輝 NAS 內建套件,不用打指令,傻瓜都會設定!

步驟

  1. 去群輝 NAS 的套件中心安裝 Cloud Sync
  2. 開啟 Cloud Sync,新增 Dropbox 的備份工作。
  3. 進行細項設定。
    • Connection Name 自己取好辨認的;
    • Local path 設定你想要儲存的 NAS 目的資料夾;
    • Remote path 設定 Dropbox 上面想讓 Illustail 上傳的資料夾。
    • Sync direction 設為 Download remote changes only。
    • 勾選 Don't remove files in the destination folder when they are removed in the source folder.
    • Schedule settings 設定工作排程時間,我是全勾。
  4. 設定好還可以再調整一些細項,例如 polling seconds 要多久去偵測一次。我是設定 60 秒。設定的時間愈短,就表示你的 NAS 愈忙。
  5. 回到 Illustail,將分享上傳的目的地設為 Dropbox 的指定資料夾。這樣就大功告成了!
  6. 來試試看 Illustail 的上傳功能,看看自己的 NAS 有沒有出現相應圖片吧。

Quick access to remote PCs by clicking on shortcuts pinned on Windows Start Menu

YouTube video

影片中的 Windows 版本是 Windows 11,但這個技巧不僅限於 Windows 11。

If you frequently need to connect to remote desktops using VncViewer or TeamViewer, you may want to create shortcuts that can launch these connections with one click. You can also pin these shortcuts to your Windows Start Menu for easy access. In this blog post, I will show you how to do that using command line parameters and connection files.

VNC Viewer

VNC Viewer is a software that allows you to remotely control another computer using the Virtual Network Computing (VNC) protocol. To create a shortcut that can launch a VncViewer connection, you need to have a connection file that contains the information of the remote device, such as its IP address, port number, encryption mode, and password. You can create a connection file by saving the settings of an existing connection in VncViewer.

To create a shortcut that can launch a VncViewer connection, follow these steps:

  1. Right-click on an empty space on your desktop and select New > Shortcut.
  2. In the Create Shortcut window, type the following command in the location field:
  3. Follow one approach guide list below

Approach 1: load from a connection file

"C:\Program Files\RealVNC\VNC Viewer\vncviewer.exe" "path-to-your-vnc-file.vnc"

Replace "path-to-your-vnc-file.vnc" with the path to your connection file. You can use quotation marks if the path contains spaces.

Approach 2: store destination address in the shortcut

Let's say if you want to access remote PC without creating a connection file, you can also type the following command instead:
"C:\Program Files\RealVNC\VNC Viewer\vncviewer.exe" 192.168.1.123:7777
The pro is you don't have to create a connection file apparently; the con is you have to type the password each time you try to connect to the remote PC.

  1. Click Next and give a name to your shortcut, such as "VncViewer Remote Desktop".
  2. Click Finish and you will see the shortcut on your desktop.
  3. To pin the shortcut to your Windows Start Menu, right-click on it and select Pin to Start.

Now you can launch the VNC cViewer connection by clicking on the shortcut or selecting it from the Start Menu.

TeamViewer

TeamViewer is another software that allows you to remotely control another computer using a secure connection. To create a shortcut that can launch a TeamViewer connection, you need to have a control file that contains the information of the remote device, such as its ID, password, and connection mode. You can create a control file by saving the settings of an existing connection in TeamViewer.

To create a shortcut that can launch a TeamViewer connection, follow these steps:

  1. Right-click on an empty space on your desktop and select New > Shortcut.
  2. In the Create Shortcut window, type the following command in the location field:

"C:\Program Files (x86)\TeamViewer\TeamViewer.exe" -i 192.168.1.123 --Password 123456789

Replace "192.168.1.123" with the ip address (domain name also work) of the remote PC, and replace "123456789" with the TeamViewer quick access password of the remote PC.

Please estimate the risk of storing visible password in a .lnk file, this may make your remote PC vulnerable.*

  1. Click Next and give a name to your shortcut, such as "TeamViewer Remote Desktop".
  2. Click Finish and you will see the shortcut on your desktop.
  3. To pin the shortcut to your Windows Start Menu, right-click on it and select Pin to Start.

Now you can launch the TeamViewer connection by clicking on the shortcut or selecting it from the Start Menu.

Conclusion

In this blog post, I have shown you how to create shortcuts that can execute commands to connect to remote desktops using VNC Viewer or TeamViewer. You can also pin these shortcuts to your Windows Start Menu for easy access. This way, you can save time and effort when you need to remotely control another computer.
