Column Mode Editing in "Edit Item Names" dialog

[admin]

Uhm, I don't know this script. Any idea what could be causing the trouble?

Thanks for confirming @highend, I was pretty sure the script was still OK, I was indeed afraid the behavior resulted from the new MUSD feature (which is amazing!). I can't live without either of these things!

Hopefully Don can figure out what is happening.

Thanks

The relevant thing it does is this:

Code: Select all

		ControlSetText, , % content, % "ahk_id" columnEditControlHWND
		WinActivate, % "ahk_id" columnEditControlHWND

Nothing more, nothing less. XY doesn't recognize the changed content when you hit the OK button
in the "Edit Item Names" dialog window any more (but only since v0227). At least it does not do
it unless you make any manual additional change... v0226 works fine

Confirmed... if, after making changes in the external editor, you change even just one character in the preview, then it works correctly.

But, passing the changes through just as before, with no modification, they are no longer recognized.

Ah, it's this that causes it:

Code: Select all

! SC obfuscate: Obfuscation of the Address Bar wasn't done right. Fixed.

I will see what I can do...

Should work again in next version.

Should work again in next version.

Great!!! Thanks so much Don!

Should work again in next version.

Indeed, this is fixed in 229. Thanks very much to you both for helping to figure out the problem!

@Highend hoping you can help me figure something out about this script... if I close the columnedit.txt file and do not save it (sometimes I have a need to abandon the edit) then the compiled script (columnedit.exe) never exits, I have to close it from the tray.

This is because the SetTimer for the Quit function never gets called, because the timestamp for columnedit.txt didn't change (because I didn't save it).

What I can't figure out is a way to account for this. Any ideas?

Thanks
