Re: Sync folders questions

If you take the time to look at the examples in your screenshot of the help file, a couple of them demo how to do this. If you need to know the chars to use for time, lookup the <date> variable in the Advanced Topics\Variables section of the help file.

Re: Sync folders questions

Yes of course there is, as I alluded to earlier. You can script XY to launch a new instance using the scripting cmd run , and start XY with the /script= command line switch to send the sync script you have written, and maybe add an exit cmd at the end of it if necessary. The command line switches ar...

Re: Sync folders questions

You have 2 sync cmds there, the first one you haven't disabled the dialog, so you would need something like this: sync "C:\SCANSNAP", "S:\SCANSNAP(test)", , 0, 7:="-\Note20\Music\|-\Note20\Audiobooks\"; sync "R:\MY DOCUMENTS", "S:\MY DOCUMENTS(test)"...

Re: Sync folders questions

Look at the actual scripting definition line eg: sync source, target, [copy_items], [on_collision], [delete_items], [switches], [logfile], [filter] so for example sync "C:\My Documents", "D:\My Documents", , 0; Ignore those 5/7 numbers, just get the basics right for now, those ar...

Re: Script Command to Remove Illegal File Name Characters ?

If you use rename "b" mode, you can use flag 4. edit: actually you may have to test that because on second thought, that might cause issues with the fwd slash because b mode accepts / cmds, you could manually replace those first with replace(), otherwise just use replacelist or regexreplac...

Re: live filter and quicksearch selector issues

less/gtr eg. < 2023-01-01 > 2023/01/01

What I mean is, comparisons don't work with ISO 8601 style date, should they, or is it local date fmt only?

Re: live filter and quicksearch selector issues

Don, not sure if this is locale specific, but when using cell ctx menu on date column the date is entered in ISO8601, which works for exact matches, but I find to get comparisons to work I have to swap the hyphen for /, is this by design?

Re: Sync folders questions

If you aren't up to scripting it to run in the BG yourself, you can just launch

File | Open Throw Away Clone

and run it from there, where your existing button will be available.

Re: Marking Beginning And Ending For Large Select/Copy Operations

Yes. I'd recommend the OP try

Tools | Customize List | Sticky Selection

and see if it helps.

Re: Marking Beginning And Ending For Large Select/Copy Operations

That moves the selection for me, surprised it doesn't for you, you must have Sticky Selection enabled.

Re: Marking Beginning And Ending For Large Select/Copy Operations

So how are you suggesting moving the focus (with the KB) without the selection moving between first and last file? Because Ctrl+Arrow or Shift+Arrow seems about the same in difficulty.

Re: Marking Beginning And Ending For Large Select/Copy Operations

When using KB, they need to be holding Shift when moving between the first and last file.

Re: Website and Help Typos

I noticed you mention you are adding the regex info to the help file, so while you are making changes I thought I'd mention that in the SC get section of the help file a few of the cmds aren't in alphabetical order eg. saveonexit/MenuCaption/previewhandler/XYCopy_pending also UsedSpace/thumbnailprov...

Re: Show/Reveal/Expand Selected List Folder in Tree?

Not sure I understand your question, you are asking about your files, but posting (the same thing) in all those multiple topics you listed, which all reference the tree, and the tree doesn't actually show files at all, anyway check out these and see if they help. https://www.xyplorer.com/tour.php?pa...
