CFA - script for folders only?

[highend]

From the help file:

To match all folders use a single \ (backslash).

So shouldn't:

\>::echo <curitem>;

be executed on every double click on a folder?

With the latest beta this isn't the case, the CFA (on top of all others) is ignored completely.

Not just the latest beta.
PFA isn't triggered as default action on folders.

Yes. Dbl-Click and ENTER on folders will always do the browsing. Do you really want something else to happen? Hard to imagine...

[highend]

Do you really want something else to happen?

It's not about that I want to do something different (forever) but the help file makes me believe that (at least) it would be possible.

[admin]

Ah I see. Needs refinement...

There have been a few times that I have wished (at least to myself) that it was possible to create PFAs for folders.

Mostly so I can get away from using custom columns to achieve my deep folder diving.

Granted another solution would be to give us an OnBrowse CEA, but I've always thought a tweak to PFA folders might be more easily achieved.

+1 - with a previously posted request anywhere.

You mean this?

Code: Select all

*>::msg "It's a file.";
\>::msg "It's a folder.";

\>::msg "It's a folder.";

Yes!!!

[autocart]

...
\>::msg "It's a folder.";
[/code]

Yes!!!

Strange, double click on folders still open it it the normal way here, even with this PFA/CFA "enabled". No Msg shown.
Could it be that that's what highend meant?

It's mainly a "yes" vote, not just a celebrative "yes"...

[admin]

It works. But the double-click on folders will always just browse that folder. You cannot customize the double-click on folders.

[TheQwerty]

You cannot customize the double-click on folders.

Could we have a daredevil tweak that does allow us to customize double-click on folders by forcing them to obey PFA (not just POM)?

Or, as I alluded above, how about a CEA_OnBrowseScript tweak?

Ah, ok, now I understand.

Ah, ok, now I understand. (repetition on purpose) '\>::msg "It's a folder.";' was only meant for POM. What a bummer.... ;-)

Yes, cool, this I also asked for already: http://www.xyplorer.com/xyfc/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=14678
(Great minds ... That is if I undersood you correctly.)

\>::msg "It's a folder.";

doesn't work here. (70.0118)
