Thanks. Works great now

Hi Highend, I just learned about this tool from your "Overview of Scripts" topic..
Sorry for being dense, but can this be evoked from a Custom Toolbar Button?
What should go into the "On left click" box? I tried

Code: Select all

run """C:\Users\swkunkel\AppData\Roaming\XYplorer\Tools\Extractor_v0.9.6\Extractor.exe"" ""<get SelectedItemsPathNames |>"" ""<get Path i>""";

(which is where I put the downloaded files.)

But should it say

load "run """C:\Users\swkunkel\AppData\Roaming\XYplorer\Tools\Extractor_v0.9.6\Extractor.exe"" ""<get SelectedItemsPathNames |>"" ""<get Path i>""";"

or something?

but can this be evoked from a Custom Toolbar Button?

Sure. The first line that you posted is correct (run """...)

Thanks for the super fast reply!
I tried it again and it does seem to be working... Not sure why I was getting a script error before.
Anyway, another question:
This setup should work, right?


Instead, I get the dialog to "Select the .exe file for Bandzip." I don't have Bandzip installed though... 7zip is the only one I have.

Also tried with it pointing to 7zG.exe and 7zFM.exe. No luck.

No, the

[General]
Application=

must point to the packer section name that you want to use.

So in your case:
Application=7-Zip

(because the section is called "[7-Zip]")

DOH! I probably should've been able to figure that one out!

Thanks for writing this. I've wanted some kind of functionality like this for a long time. Never really thought about it as a script idea though.

EDIT: Okay, here's an alternate icon for you


It's an ICO with all standard sizes (256 .... 16)
I can make one with only 24 and 16, if people want.

It's explained in the first post of this thread

It's here for more than 3,5 years

.... It's here for over more than 3,5 years

Yea, I should really check the script sub forum more often.... I learned about a few cool new (new to me) scripts from your Script Showcase pinned thread.

RE Alternate image:
This one with just the tool and not the Windows icon in the background is actually more discernible at low rezzes.



For proper citation I should point out that I found the image via Google Image Search for "extractor."

Apparently some electrical supply company.
The tool though is a wheel puller though. At least I think... Not really sure.

EDIT: Forgot to attach zip

License of that image?

License of that image?

I don't know... There's no indication that it's copyrighted... Since the site is for an electric supply company, and not an image company, I'm not too worried. Still, I wouldn't recommend selling it for profit. I'm not 100% sure, but I think it's okay to use the Windows icons.

As for my work (which was minimal), there's no restriction. I consider it "open."

EDIT: Actually it's a super-simple image.. I could totally recreate it as a vector thing with DrawPlus' shape builder tools if you want.

Sure

[kunkel321]

Meh... It didn't turn out as "photorealistic" as I was hoping it would. Doesn't really matter at 24x24 though.

And here's a chronicle of making it...


Again, free for all!

[highend]

Nice work, very professional!

I'll make it the default icon for the next release
