meaning opposed to refreshing the whole (or visible) list
EDIT: in order to programmatically update custom column entries without having to update the column for all items.

Re: wishing my scripts could refresh individual items in list
on the other hand, I wish my script could skip refreshing individual items.

Re: wishing my scripts could refresh individual items in list
It wouldn't be impossible. But how to identify the cell to refresh? Full filename X column caption? Or list position X column position?

Re: wishing my scripts could refresh individual items in list
The more options the better. but if thry should be limited, I'd vote for filename & column caption. :-)admin wrote:It wouldn't be impossible. But how to identify the cell to refresh? Full filename X column caption? Or list position X column position?

Re: wishing my scripts could refresh individual items in list
What about having your script tag the items using one of the extra tags?
EDIT: As for Sammay's wish perhaps a new variable <cc_currentValue>? This would return the cell's current value if it exists which would allow us the ability to act on or even modify it.

I'm not sure what would be achieved by that in this thread's context?TheQwerty wrote:What about having your script tag the items using one of the extra tags?

Re: wishing my scripts could refresh individual items in list
The active pane's active tab will automatically refresh the extra column when tagging items and you can explicitly tag only the items you want to "refresh".autocart wrote:I'm not sure what would be achieved by that in this thread's context?TheQwerty wrote:What about having your script tag the items using one of the extra tags?
Re: wishing my scripts could refresh individual items in list
One of my CC scripts can cause another sibling item's metadata (specifically <mtime>) to change, causing a compete list refresh: cue an infinite loop. This can't be averted even if I hide the modified date column.TheQwerty wrote:EDIT: As for Sammay's wish perhaps a new variable <cc_currentValue>?

Instead of your suggested <cc_currentValue>, if there were a way to set certain arbitrary data per row, then maybe I can save the last exec time, and do something with it.

Re: wishing my scripts could refresh individual items in list
I see, could be a solution for now. I am only afraid of the limit of only 5 columns. But knowing about that now, I would be ok, if CCs stay the same atm.
