Partner for project

[rubix]

Hey everyone. I got some ideas for a program, I was thinking I could get it done twice as fast if I were to work on it with someone. So if someone one doesn't have any other projects going on, or has some free time and wants to work on a project, this might be fun.

Project description:
All coding would need to be done in C(or work something else out, like a plugin system maybe, so that we could just load a .dll with code written in another language), as it's really the only language I'm good enough at to want to do something like this.

An app that scans a hard drive(or hard drives), or scans just a specific directory/file. It will list all of the directory(and subdirectory, if necessary) and individual file sizes(it could also display other information like permissions, file type, date created, etc.). Threads would be necessary so that the user can view information as it comes in(GUI will update info every so often).

It will have a GUI that will display all of the information in a tree view(location and name of file followed by the other information like size).

After a scan, it will be able to export the information as a .xml file or similar. The purpose of this is so that later, after another set of information is exported, you can compare the results of both(application should also be able to do this and report back which directory/files were larger etc.).

Overall a pretty easy project. These are just the basics of what I thought of, and I'm open to suggestions. So even if you don't want to help out with coding, please offer any advice or improvements or anything you think the app could use.

edit: Also, time wouldn't really be too big of an issue, It just gets done at our own pace. I understand everyone is busy(as am I).

You can always make it a collab effort by posting codes online that you need help with. Just write codes for a function and people may fill it in.

The whole idea was so that I didn't have to write the whole program myself . I was planning on posting the code here anyway when it was done, so if I were to get a function completely done I may post just that function, or just post all the code at once.

Yeah, so posting a function like ... "TraversingDirectory(){ " and asking people to help you with designing the function.
This would be a much faster way to finish your project than to hope for a partner (since everyone has different schedules).

As much as I would love to start on a new project, I have like 12 unfinished ones...

Currently I have 3 websites in the work, 2 game modes, & 1 senior project. Once all of that is done, and I have finished all of my college application , I have to go back and finish several other unfinished projects. It sounds like a cool project though, it sounds a lot like explorer.exe, lol.

I t0oo have a website, a game development project, and 2-3 other programming projects.
