portable xy and files accessibility

[yusef88]

hi
i use a portable version of xyplorer on a usb, my problem everytime i attach this usb to different computers its drive letter changed so my recent and favourite files and folders become unreachable (folders and file at the same usb) example: "K:\NewText.text" in first computer change to "G:\NewText.text" in the second one,is there any method to make them available as long as they are at the same xy drive?

Use a variable instead of a drive letter:

E.g.:
<xydrive>

with favorites it's ok,i wish if i could open recent files just by double click

[highend]

How do you invoke this recent file window?

[yusef88]

Code: Select all

open inputselect("Recent Files", get("list_recentlyopenedfiles"), <crlf>, 5);

[highend]

Use this:

Code: Select all

open inputselect("Recent Files", regexreplace(get("list_recentlyopenedfiles"), "[A-Z]:", "<xydrive>"), "<crlf>", 5);

many thanks .. what about favorites files?

Code: Select all

 $favf=;$t = getkey("Count","FavFiles");$c = 1;
 while($c <= $t){$favf = $favf.'|'.getkey("Fav$c","FavFiles");$c++;}
 open inputselect("Favorite Files", regexreplace(trim($favf,'|'), "[A-Z]:", "<xydrive>"), "|", 5);

Obviously you have to save settings after making changes to the favfiles list for this script to register the changes.
saving favorites relative to XYplorer is better. Like "..\..\SublimeText\sublinme_text.exe"

thanks for help,your scrip shows recent files only

is there an easy way to save favorite to relative path without the drive letter?

No it doesn't. I copy-pasted-modified a line from highend's script, and forgot to change the inputselect()'s title. Did that now.

I usually alter the ini keys directly after saving favorites. This job can be automated with a script.
