+ New variable: <curitem> = currently focused/selected list item,
i.e. the one that's displayed in the statusbar. Up to now this
variable was only recognized in the Source field of a UDC "New".
But there's good use for it in other contexts as well, especially
in scripting.
For example:
::load <curitem>
If a script file is currently selected, this script will load it.
* Scripting: To improve the interaction between script files I
slightly redesigned the logic of resolving the name of a script file
to load:
- If the passed file argument does not contain any extension, the
*.xys is assumed immediately (there is no test whether a file
without any extension exists).
- If a script file was called from another ("parent") script file,
then the first path to look for the file is the path of the parent
script file. If no file is found in that path, then the
application data path will be searched.
The latter is an important imporvement because it enables you to
run script files that depend on other script files from any
directory! For example, you have a lot of script files and
organize them into various folders. In one folder called
E:\XY\Scripts\Rename\ you have these four files:
Rename.xys
Rename - IE.xys
Rename - Insert.xys
Rename - Remove.xys
Now Rename.xys calls the other files in statements like this:
load "Rename - Remove";
This would not have been possible without the new logic added
here, because "Rename - Remove.xys" would have been looked for
only in xy app data path and, of course, not been found. Now it is
found in E:\XY\Scripts\Rename\.
So, now you can e.g. load script files from some network server
and need not to worry about paths.
Also, when users share script files, you don't have to worry about
name collisions anymore because each script file package can run
in its own folder.
