Possible to organize "Favorite Files" under menus/submenus?

[cadu]

Hi,

I am using "Favorite Files" to set a kind of Windows "start menu" with my main apps (http://i.imgur.com/ZV6BSkE.png).

However, "Favorite Files" has become overpopulated vertically.

a) Is it possible to organize "Favorite Files" under menus/submenus?

b) Besides the "Favorite Files" way of organizing, would there be other ways/alternatives to set menus/submenus with apps in XYplorer, similarly to Windows "start menu"?

Many thanks!

No, unfortunately that is not possible without scripted favorite items.

There are a number of ways to make menus in XYplorer not associated with Favorite Files or Favorite Folders and there are quite a few threads on the forum. Here are a few of them I had bookmarked. http://www.xyplorer.com/xyfc/viewtopic. ... =15#p93665 and http://www.xyplorer.com/xyfc/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=13469 and http://www.xyplorer.com/xyfc/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=12308

Code is a mess but working fine here.

Code is a mess

Why didn't you clean it up so that it get's:
- readable
- correctly indented
- without unnecessary code fragments
-> maintainable / changeable through somebody else (if someone wants to make a change on his own)?

I'm sure his next efforts will be better.

Done as far as I see what could be re-done either on my side or original author's.

Can't say much on this as I am myself changing it doing the best to preserve original looking. Which was fairly easy: SF taught me a bit so I'm a tad familiar to his coding as he always said new user friendliness was a goal.

Let's hope so...

@author:

While this is a workaround I'd still join the OT as my script requires some mumbo jumbo and its resulting favorites script is not possible to be easily updated, requiring a whole new run of entire process just for adding a single or many favorites to it.

Sorry, still a complete mess

Code: Select all

   if ($opF >= $tt) { $op = $tt + 1; }
   else {  }
                    }
   else {  }
                     }

Things like that. WTF?

Empty if conditions (not shown above), empty else conditions, ...

A novice who tries to read such a script will probably never try to do some scripting afterwards.

If you really want to make it understandable, give variables speaking names.

Code: Select all

   $op++;
   $opF++;
   $opM++;

Great, but what is counted here? It's just an example of non-obvious variable names.

Btw, you didn't indent the contents of loops and please use either tabs or 4 spaces (not three).

You don't need to quote variables in all places.

Code: Select all

$LreL = $LreL . "$Lnr" . "$Ltk" . "|"; //name goes here

Either do it this way:

Code: Select all

$LreL = $LreL . $Lnr . $Ltk . "|"; //name goes here

or that way:

Code: Select all

$LreL = "$LreL$Lnr$Ltk|"; //name goes here

Second one is shorter but harder to read so you better use the first one.
