Notes in Folder

[CookieMonster]

I was wondering if you can add notes within folders then associate that to a to-do list which you can access the notes with the folders which the notes are associated with from the menu ?

Hello, Cookie!

Offline for a few days (and having some spare time to dedicate to some dusty ideas) I was precisely working on a concept like the one you described.
Gimme a few minutes and I'll clean up something to publish...

/pending the 'to-do' part, but I'm having some ideas, here.

EDIT:

Done.
This is aimed to be triggered via PFA with the following definition:

Code: Select all

xvx> load("JakeAndFinn","_ 001;_ 002;");

or via CKS:

Code: Select all

 load("JakeAndFinn","_ 000;_ 001;_ 011;_ 003;_ 004;_ 005;_ 006;_ 007;_ 008;_ 009;_ 010");

,
which delivers some extra features I needed to conveniently have put at fingers' range via keyboard, with a dose of checks and confirmations in some cases ('one', 'at least one must be selected', 'are you sure to do this?' and the likes.

The core concept: have companion files acting as .lnk on steroids, having support to multi-items (files, folders and .exe) launch, notes and listing (via paperfolder), as well as offering some check against not available/non-supported items. There is a little tool, "K - Create Companion File(s)" (called from the CKS), which allows the creation of several .xvx companion files at once (FOLDERS are allowed to have those .xvx too as siblings!).

Some notes from the .xys file:

.xvx specs:
-1st line: single (generally the 'fellow file') or multi-items (" | "-separated) that will be launched (files and programs)/opened (folders);
-comments (anything);
-last section: attached related items (files and/or folders which will be listed on a paperfolder), one per line

usage suggestions:
-have a paperFolder for those .xvx files; the .xvx extension can be anything! (.j&f, for instance) - just be sure to adjust the pfa definition for them;
-companion files are designed to stay with their 'fellow files', but they can also be all copied into a single folder - acting as multi-target link containers
-use David Carpenter's Everything to easily spot those .xvx files, if no paperFolder is set - or you just forgot to update it with newer .xvx companion files...
-limit: 70,69 MB, due to readfile limits

The script is named after "Adventure Time" cartoon characters, Jake and Finn, who reminds us what friendship should be.

As said, it may not fully satisfy your request but I'm working on it.

Regards!

Part 2 is on my 2Do list, now...

[CookieMonster]

Where is part 1 ?

[highend]

In Skyfrontier's first post?

[SkyFrontier]

...worth mentioning that, on my side, this started with a tiny single-line PFA code...



Alarms!
...reminders!
......previews!
.........database self-maintenance!
............central management of multiple, depth-hidden elements!

(errr... simplicity, believe it or not... )

ETA: 1-3 days.

Give me a day to test, I'm so behind on many XY script to use and test.

Sorry for not posting a... notice here for you, Cookie!
Questions, suggestions and the like, feel free to shout it out. Yet Jake & Finn was something I Always dreamt of, your request allowed me to intersect it with another personal request, so to speak, thus expanding it further into a more useful direction, for which I thank you.

For reference, this is what we're talking about:

How do I add a PFA script to List Management of PFA ?

Code: Select all

xvx> load("JakeAndFinn","_ 001;_ 002;");

What is CKS ?

Help is your friend!

I've read two sections of the PFA docs; how to define & Scripts.I've placed the PFA as listed in this thread as
xys>::load <JakeAndFinn.xys> except when I re-visit the PFA panel, the script I had placed is removed ?

I don't know what the acronym CKS stands for ?

[highend]

Code: Select all

xys>::load <JakeAndFinn.xys>

That's the exact line you've added to PFA? Seriously?

when I re-visit the PFA panel, the script I had placed is removed

What?

CKS

Please do not use load as a function. It isn't one. No return value...

The info you're looking for is both times within the first 3 hits so shouldn't be too hard to find.

First question, no. Second issue, resolved.

The script needs a change before testing ?
