opencommandprompt [path], [command], [title], [flags]

path     The initial path for the command prompt.
         Defaults to the current list path.
command  The command to execute. Should be prefixed with /k.
title    The window title.
         Defaults to "<path> - Original location of this command prompt"

         Only makes a difference if XYplorer itself is not elevated.
         "command" and "title" are ignored if the prompt is being elevated.

rethumb cachepath, cachetitle, targetpath, [flags]

cachepath:  Location of cache files (dbits and dat2 file).
            You find this path here:
            Configuration | Thumbnails | Cache thumbnails on disk
cachetitle: Title of the cache files pair (dbits and dat2 file; both are needed!).
            It's always 32 character GUID, e.g. "fc2a2b5e9d46239340b1f1e88023bc32"
            The file "XYThumbs.txt" in cachepath will help you to find
            the right GUID. I kept this as a homework for you to ensure
            this wonderful command comes with a satisfying degree of
            nerdiness.
targetpath: Target folder where the images files are to be created.
            It's recommended to use an empty folder.
flags: (bit field)
            1 = Overwrite prompt (when creating the image files).
                Otherwise same-named files are overwritten without asking.

Code: Select all

  - The main use of this command is to retrieve thumbnail versions of
    any lost original image files from XYplorer's thumbnails cache.
  - Note that XYplorer's thumbnails cache can contain also older images
    that had been long removed from the original folder. So you should get
    all your lost images and maybe even some more.
  - Each found thumbnail is stored as a separate image file under the
    original file name.
  - Image files are all saved in PNG format to ensure a lossless quality.
  - The PNG extension is appended (in CAPS) to the original filename, e.g.:
      GLB-PAR31889_2048x.jpg.PNG
    This allows you to see how the original file was called.

    + Scripting got a new command.
      Name: sysdebug
      Action: Sends a string to the system debugger via API OutputDebugString.
      Syntax: sysdebug string
      Example:
        sysdebug "any string";
      Remarks:
      - SysInternals has a tool "DebugView" to view the system debugger:
        https://docs.microsoft.com/de-de/sysinternals/downloads/debugview
        It will show the sent strings in real time in a list.
      - Unicode characters are not supported due to an age old Windows bug.
        They are shown as "?".
      - This command is not officially supported (no mention in help).
