Re: Script or Reg expression to bracket numbers

but because there's nothing separating the fields except the spaces there's no way to tell the program whether the title or artist is 1,2 or 3 words long. If there is no common pattern in the file name to spot the tag nr. then you are out of luck because you have to tell an script how to get the ta...

Re: Better handling of junctions

I have the feeling that lots of people use XY without being active on this forum. So maybe there're other people who will find it useful.
If I were you, I'd elevate it to the GUI and maybe give it a one-line mention on the 10.70 release notes.
Nothing bad could happen, right?

Re: Better handling of junctions

Thanks for the quick fix, now it works perfectly. Well, probably the tweak on XP isn't as fundamental as on 7, since in this case you can reach the final destination. However: 1. as the philoshopy of XY is showing what's physically where, pointing to a physical destination through a physical path se...

Re: Better handling of junctions

:oops: I'm so sorry to bug you again but it looks like the tweak doesn't work with junctions pointing to volumes different from the system one. I have the the junction C:\Dati pointing to the volume N:\ . When I try to go to C:\Dati\Marco (via catalog) I'd expect to end in N:\Marco , yet the address...

Re: Better handling of junctions

Wait a second: I fully understand that the tweak you introduced in this thread only applies to vista and 7.
What I noticed is a strangely different behaviour: feeding a path with junctions inside XY address bar on XP gets me to destination! It doesn't stop half way as 7 did.
That's what baffles me...

Re: Better handling of junctions

Here we go again :D I'm playing with junctions (of course) and I notice a different behaviour between XY on XP and XY on 7. Let's paste a path with a junction in XY address bar. 7: the path is fully "parsed" (can't think of a better term), so that it contains no junctions in it; it is a re...

DnD on portable tabs half disabled: bug or feature

I notice that a tab whose path is defined as relative doesn't permit a direct drag and drop. If you take a file and drag on the tab the classic slashed symbol is shown. Then after the tab becomes active, is file is moved onto the list area, it becomes droppable.
Is it expected?

Re: Scripting function Tabset()

Yes, nice documentation (tabset.zip)! Do you need a job, Marco? The Help file needs an overhaul. :) It's true, it looks like I can deprecate loadas and openas. But as the "as:"-syntax is very new (and isn't it revolutionary?!) I will keep the code in place and just don't mention them in t...

Re: Scripting function Tabset()

I was thinking, now that we have the " as: " syntax, shouldn't the operations "openas" and "loadas" be deprecated and removed? Moreover, since all the operations (except browse and open) could potentially overwrite an existing tabset, yet there're powerusers who know ex...

Re: Virtual panes

Well, I do not like that for two reasons: If the exe is in one directory, I am kind of unsure when is what being saved and I do not want to inadvertently overwrite some new settings with another running instance. Then there is also the fact that in my workflow I have now replaced many opened Window...

Why don't you use directly <get pane> to have the active pane number? :shock: Because I overlooked that it exists. Thank you! You're welcome :D You save one line, and maybe some CPU clock cycles, who knows... (Don knows, for sure... :mrgreen: ) OK, I now have designed a way that should please every...

Re: Virtual panes

I'd dare say: what about multiple instances of XYplorer? (perhaps run with from a shortcut with different switches)
