XYplorer Beta Club

A little late in this conversation sorry. Last time I updated XYplorer there wasn't even a 64-bit version yet!! When I went down the file description rabbit hole, I wasn't happy with anything that wasn't cross platrform so I quickly gave up on MS options. I ended up writing my own XY scripts with no...

Here is a screenshot of the properties. The full Target: line is: %ProgramW6432%\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe "C:\Users\spiroc\Desktop\tmp_music" In the lower part of the screenshot is the same folder in Windows Explorer. You can see the icon is correct in Explorer. I am able to click the .lnk in ...

Thank you for the reply.

I made that change and it appears to be doing the same thing (not fixed).

Hello, I am using version 24.00.0700. Since v 23.90.400 I am unable to open a .lnk file by double clicking on it IF it has a parameter. It works fine if it does not have a parameter. eg .lnk contents: works: "C:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe" does not work: "C:\Program Files\Vide...

Thanks!!!

I normally use a single function on left click, and the extended version on right click. eg "ConEmu curpath" on left, but on right "ConEmu curpath", "ConEmu run current item", "ConEmu run hidden" etc. It seems to me that "Fire click on mousedown" sli...

Thanks I will try that immediately. I just sidestepped it for the moment with a perm variable: "RenameEnablePreview Toggle" perm $scRenameEnablePreview; if ($scRenameEnablePreview == "ON") { $scRenameEnablePreview = "OFF"; } else { $scRenameEnablePreview = "ON"...

@highend I will try the "wait 1" thanks. I'll take the hit on scalability and use an external tool for more than 30-40 files. If you were really liking the external tool idea (like your very nice mockups) then I'd go all the way to WinMerge. It'll let you show all, show delta's, edit lines...

Here is a multi rename with preview using the Extra 5 tags column as well as tags Red and Green to show which files have changed. 3 scripts including an example rename scirpt (tolower). To try it out, select some files and run the Lowercase script. This should display the ext 5 column in the current...

@highend. Preview. yes!! NICE v0.3 - turns out <cr> and <lf> aren't a thing so "trim($gnewname, "<cr><lf><crlf>");" was giving: "abc.rar" --> "abc.ra". Shortened. "Multi Rename" log("Main ", "------------------------------"); // V...

v0.2. Bugfix in call to substr() "Multi Rename" log("Main ", "------------------------------"); // Version 0.2 global $gstartindex = 0, $gendindex = 0, $gnewname, $gnewnameslist; $selectedlist = get("SelectedItemsNames", "<crlf>"); writefile("<x...

- msg tip - great thanks will try! - Beyond Compare - Of course just use free/open alternatives (WinMerge?) - The BC and confirmation are temporary for me. After a few runs of proving the expressions they are removed so one click does the lot. There are still other failsafe options - the XYplorer un...

@highend So your idea about 2 txt files is working pretty well for me at the moment. This script writes 2 txt files, original names, modified names after as many changes as you wish, then pops up Beyond Compare for visual check (and even edit), lastly asks for confirmation before going ahead and ren...

Hi, Thanks for the reply. Yes it would require rename scripting command to accept a "targetnameslist" as the "pattern" parameter. One current workaround is to put the new filename list into the clipboard and then launch Rename Special -> Edit Item Names (#147;). After that it's a...

Hi. New XYplorer user here but I was scripting in Directory Opus for 4 years and Multi Commander for about 1 year before this. So far it's been fantastic. A lot of my little one liner scripts are no longer required because functions are already supported natively (tab manipulation, settings toggling...
