Re: Put File in Folder with the Same Base Name in One Step
I also wrote it because if I have a file like whatever.eng.srt and whatever.mp4 and want to put them in the same folder with one quick command, doing it with a batch cuts it off wrong and puts them into whatever.eng\whatever.eng.srt AND whatever\whatever.mp4, whereas the regex puts both in whatever\...

Re: Put File in Folder with the Same Base Name in One Step
It also happened to just come to my attention today because I discovered there was a bug when move on rename tries to create a directory and put a file in it if the file ends up being long path - either using a regex or a batch rename (like the one you just showed). Plus, I thought it was an interes...

Put File in Folder with the Same Base Name in One Step
This might seem kind of trivial, but it's a little script I use all the time - sometimes just interactively with a regular expression rename. All it does is put a file into a folder with the same base name as the file. Something I do fairly often, for example if I want to put a cover image and a des...

Re: When Typing and Running Out of Visible Room on the Right
What I'm suggesting is just the single line scrolling left as you're typing - so you can see the current letters being entered, shown just to the left of the count box.

Re: When Typing and Running Out of Visible Room on the Right
Because I don't want to have to use a script whenever I'm renaming a file, even if I've got the interface rather busy. I think it would be a useful improvement in basic XY. Heck, he's got a little box that counts characters - this shouldn't be too major. But what do I know: If it's easy, please; if ...

Re: XY HTML engine = IE 7
Nope. I'm on Win 10, most current. This is the compatibility version for the html function in XY. Don uses VB 6 for development. I assume it's linked to that. That said, and as crippled as IE 7 is in terms of web standards, and as limited the number of characters one can return from a form (I get 20...

Re: <textarea> content size causing submit buttons to be inactive in XY HTML form
Here's what my final solution was: Since Internet Explorer 7 (which is what XY is compatible with) doesn't support ways of recoloring disabled text (which would have been the easiest way not to submit the data contained in the textarea - it works, but being unreadable, it's pointless), I simply put ...

Re: Browse from other applications with XYPlorer?
This is kind of sideways to what you're asking, but it may help with some things. I use the Custom File Association feature in XY very frequently to launch programs. For programs that don't have a way of passing a file or folder directly to it via a command line interface (and don't have functionali...

Request for a Custom Copy Behavior When Combining Directories
Yes, I could script this, and may, but I think it's likely to be a useful feature for many - and uniquely powerful: I'd like to be able to choose a copy depth for auto-merging directories. For example: If I were copying multiple ripped CDs, and they're organized by composer/artist, to an external di...

When Typing and Running Out of Visible Room on the Right
When typing and I run out of room on the right, I think it would be much more useful if the text scrolled to the left to see what I'm currently typing rather than just a character count (handy as that is - keep it) and what's already been typed. This is a a not uncommon occurrence, especially if usi...

This also means that if you're wondering what Javascript version is supported, it's 1.3.

XY HTML engine = IE 7
It's using Internet Explorer 7, according to: html(<clp>); <!--[if IE 7]> Yep. <![endif]--> I showed it that way because I often test XY html code using 'html(<clp>); which I thought might also be handy to put down. This should probably be in the documentation if it's tested to be true for different...
