How can i save my patched toolbar icons/images?

[Hedich]

Hello, i just patched all the icons on the toolbar and when i restarted all my patches where gone, how can i save them so they stay when i exit the program?

I was using this format for one icon at a time,

Code: Select all

patchimage "backtab", "C:\blabla\blabla\image.png";

also is there a way to batch patch them so i dont have to run 1 script at a time?

and while i am here i cant get

Code: Select all

HideMainMenuToggleByAlt=0

to work, was super happy when i found this setting as i use it for many other programs i work with but it wont work

According to the help file, the effect of patchimage is limited to the current session. You'd have to create a script that runs on every startup of XYplorer.

and while i am here i cant get

Code: Select all

HideMainMenuToggleByAlt=0

to work, was super happy when i found this setting as i use it for many other programs i work with but it wont work

Are you sure you tweaked correctly?

I find that with the tweak enabled, on startup the menu is shown but disappears when once pressing Alt?

Seems a bit counter productive to have to run it every time but ok, how do i set that up?

I got Alt to work, i made a backup of my save when i patched the toolbar and somehow the program continued to use the backup insted of going back to the orginal save

The help file lists the command line options XYplorer supports, including the /script switch. You'd have to put the patchimage commands in a XYplorer script file and then, using the /script switch, load that script file on XYplorer's startup, by modifying the shortcut to XYplorer.exe.

Found the part in help about the startup, i tried to make a script of the patchimage commands but i dont know how to format it,
if i have say 4 icons i want to replace running the command

Code: Select all

patchimage "backtab", "C:\blabla\blabla\image.png";

how would i format it in the .xys file?

There is no need to run a script, just put your patched images into e.g. the folder "PatchedIcons" in your XYplorer data folder
and use a tweak so that XY knows where to find them. The folder name is relative to <xydata> so the folder name itself would suffice.

; Tweak: patch internal images with files in this path
PatchImagesPath=PatchedIcons

This worked thank you so much! and thank you nas8e9 for showing me that i can run scripts on startup that will come in handy in the future
