Hey,
Is there any way to have paper folders inside paper folders? It doesn't seem like it's currently possible but maybe I'm missing something.
Thanks!
Nested Paper Folders
Re: Nested Paper Folders
Not that I can see, but according to the help file you can have subfolders in the paper-folder:
Paper Folders can also be located in subfolders of <xydata>\Paper:
Location: paper:Sub\foo
Refers to: <xydata>\Paper\Sub\foo.txt
Re: Nested Paper Folders
Yeah I discovered that too, unfortunately that's not enough for what I'm trying to do. I'd like to be able to open a paper folder and have it show any paper folder inside as if they were subfolders, the final goal being the ability to create group-like functionality based on paper folders (ie. grouping by date, etc.).
Re: Nested Paper Folders
I am not sure on what you want but thought this might go some way to it.
First off it depends heavily on Custom File Association.
the code I use is based on highend's CFA.
As you can see Xtra ".pf".
The code to use to get pf's into a pf is simple.
Select your pf's then run following code.

"From selection"
$SelectedItems = get( "SelectedItemsPathNames", <crlf>); // gets all paths & names
paperfolder ("paper:_XYCollectorM1.pf.txt", $SelectedItems, <crlf>);
Re: Nested Paper Folders
Thanks for the bit of code!
Unless I misunderstood something, that just adds the text files to a new paper folder, doesn't it?

Re: Nested Paper Folders
Yes but because of the CFA you can launch them from inside your paper folder.
In effect you can put pf's in pf's to your hearts desire.

Re: Nested Paper Folders
Oh you're right, I simply forgot to rename my paper folders to .pf.txt, thanks for the help!
