Scripting a file picker / file chooser

Is there a script command to open up the windows file dialog to select a file somewhere else on disk? If not - is there a script command to make a combo picker to pick files in a certain directory?

Re: Run script from Catalog?

I figured it out when looking for the 'location' field.. The action on click needs to be 'go to location' and then the location should be '::load'.

Run script from Catalog?

I've moved computers, I swear I had this working on my old installation, but can't figure it out now. I'm now using 18.80. I had a few scripts which I think were in a catalog. I had it set up so that when I clicked the script, it would execute and perform the script actions on the file selected. I d...

Re: Custom column - count of times file opened?

One issue here - I've noticed this works if you open an item by double clicking, but if you use the context-menu (example : right-click-->Open with) it won't count.

Re: Custom column - count of times file opened?

Custom column - count of times file opened?

I'd like to add an extra column that gives a count of the number of times I've opened / launched a file from XYPlorer. Similar to ITunes, where it shows the number of times a song has played, but instead tracks the time a file/video was opened. Is this possible? Of course, if the file is opened from...

How can I change the save interval of Tags.Dat?

I just learned the tag.dat file, located at C:\Users\[username]\appdata\Roaming\XYplorer\tag.dat, isn't flushed to disk until the user calls File->SaveSettings. I can't count the number of times I've lost tags due to not saving. Is there a way to either : * Automatically save tag.dat when a new tag ...
