Okay, I put the following in the SCRIPT textbox in the Manage User-Defined Commands form under the RUN SCRIPT category: $f1 = getinfo("SelectedItemsPathNames", ""); focus PI; $f2 = getinfo("SelectedItemsPathNames", ""); openwith "C:\Program Files\Compare ...

This worked: $f1 = getinfo("SelectedItemsPathNames", ""); focus PI; $f2 = getinfo("SelectedItemsPathNames", ""); openwith "C:\Program Files\Compare It!\wincmp3.exe" "$f1" "$f2"; Now I just have to figure out where to put it so I c...

I set up a script that takes two highlighted files in the same pane and passes those file names to a file compare program that then shows the differences between the two files. This works fine. But how do I get the script to pass one highlighted file in one pane and another highlighted file in the O...

In essence that is what I do with the PowerDesk shell context menu. I hate WinZip - I don't think it is a very good program. But PowerDesk works just fine. Was hoping to gain a one hotkey solution with XY rather than using the several clicks of alternatives.

XP, SP3. I don't remember all the details as I stopped doing .zip files with XY and am using other means (PowerDesk and FreeCommander, both of which work better with regard to .zip files). I believe there were times when I wondered why something wasn't created.

Errors? You mean there might be errors in the resulting .zip file? The message does not say anything about errors - it just asks if you want to continue. I didn't know there might be errors when I told it to continue. If that is the case, then I will use something else that can handle lots of files ...

I have set up a user defined command to zip selected files all at once. But if I select more than about 10 files, XY gives me a message box saying "Continue to open 16 items at once?" How do I get rid of this message box so that it doesn't delay my creating the .zip file? Thank you.

I am playing around with it all.

How do I get rid of the full path on each tab and show only the current folder? Thank you.
