Nice to meet you.
My name is Da Zhang. I am an experienced C# programmer.
I want to know, could you accept an Windows Desktop application to do the same function like your description? The application will have below features
* The main window could be hide.
* There will be an icon at the right bottom corner of the screen, like "Audio" icon of windows system, when right click on it, there will be menus could be selected.
* The program will monitor the folder, when a file is created, the program will judge it whether it's jpg format picture.
* The program will use iTextSharp library to generate PDF files.
An issue maybe encountered if we do this:
* If more and more jpg files put into the path (monitored path), the program will need to take more time to compare file names to find new added files. So after it run several months, it may become slow. So do you think we should make a input folder and a backup folder? After some pictures are converted, we backup these files to the backup folder, all structures of sub folders are the same.
A windows desktop application is better than windows service because:
1, An service only run at background, Windows desktop app could run at background or in front end, the user could interact with it.
2, An service is complex to upgrade, you need to uninstall it, then re install it with new version. But an Windows desktop app doesn't need.
Such a program could be done in 1 or 2 days. Let me know whether you want to work with me.
Thank you!
