Hello, dear XYplorer Community!
XYplorer has very many list to be reached under "Tools / List Management" and it is very good.
If I want to clear the content of some lists I must open each list separately by
using the menu entries each time for each list.
This takes time and makes me moving mouse to much. ( , lazy)
What I would like to have is a separated procedure, that opens the lists one by one, showing me the list entries
so that I can redact each list (and decide, if I clear this list or not).
And I think this procedure could show the [date and time of change] for each list,
so, seeing the date, I can skip checking the list as I know, that this list was not changed now by my mistake.
After I am ready to go to the next list I click "Next List" button an the procedure continues.
Why am I asking this:
I have set up XYplorer not to save settings on exit. But some times I save settings by mistake and begun to search
for data that are now or could be now saved in this many lists...
Edit:
Or there could be a window showing the time and date of change for each list
(with a button nearby leading to the list),
so that I must only check the lists, that were changed a short time ago.

Re: Opening lists one by one automaticaly
1. There is no option to do this because there doesn't exist any date for a specific list when it was last saved because they all reside in the XYplorer.ini file
2. You could easily script that (displaying a dialog where you can check all lists you want to see by using their command id)...

You may want to take a look at the ListManagementHouseCleaning script here viewtopic.php?f=7&t=13948. There's no dates or times associated with each list but it can certainly save you time clearing or deleting lists.

Re: Opening lists one by one automaticaly
Thank you, klownboy, for your hint !
You have build a powerful script, that is much more than what I need now.
For now I created a simple linear structure with notes placed directly in the script.
These are the first flat lines of my script:
Code: Select all
msg "Open the first list?<crlf><crlf>This is the list 1/36<crlf><crlf>On 06.09.2021 this list has NO entries.",1+32;
#611; // Address Bar & Go to
msg "Open next list?<crlf><crlf>The next list is 2/36<crlf><crlf>On 06.09.2021 this list has many entries.",1+32;
#614; // Custom File Associations
msg "Open next list?<crlf><crlf>The next list is 3/36<crlf><crlf>On 06.09.2021 this list has many entries.",1+32;
#653; // Custom File Icons
