CEA - Custom Event Actions

[admin]

Suggestion 5:
It could be nice if one could select multiple events and thus assign the same action and/or script to multiple events at once (in case one would like to do that). I admit that this is only a side thought, though, if you have spare time and don't know what to do with it...

Suggestion 6:
(compare with suggestion 4)
It could be nice that if the Action is set to "Run script" (and there is no script saved already), that then this would automatically open the Edit Script dialog.

Thanks for the suggestions. I try to avoid that extra smartness when I can (like Suggestion 4 and 6) because I usually find it annoying. But I will add events to the jump list, and I will show the beginning of the scripts.

Yes, I can understand that from a programmer's, business owner's, and customer supporter's point of view avoiding too much smartness can make sense.
I agree that the two points you want to apply are the those with the most usage.
Thank you for continuously improving XY.

Hi Don, I was wondering though if it would make sense to break up the CEAs into categories or headers:

Code: Select all

  In Folder Tree:
     Double-click on white
     Middle-click on white
     Right-click on white

  In List:
     Double-click on white
     Middle-click on white
     Right-click on white

  Misc conditions:
     Middle-click on folder
     Middle-click on file
     Right-click on icon in address bar
     Click mouse back button
     Click mouse forward button
     Before changing locations
     After changing locations

or something similar. Thanks and great work!

confirmed, that is if the main window is on monitor 2, then the config window opens on monitor 1.

Hi Don, I was wondering though if it would make sense to break up the CEAs into categories or headers:

Code: Select all

  In Folder Tree:
     Double-click on white
     Middle-click on white
     Right-click on white

  In List:
     Double-click on white
     Middle-click on white
     Right-click on white

  Misc conditions:
     Middle-click on folder
     Middle-click on file
     Right-click on icon in address bar
     Click mouse back button
     Click mouse forward button
     Before changing locations
     After changing locations

or something similar. Thanks and great work!

Probably, later. Easier said than done. This control does not support category headers at the moment. Hey, I just added columns and editable cells!

EDIT: Wait a minute, the control does support group headers! See the categories list on the left side in Configuration! Okay... there is an option to do that in phase 2...

OK, fixed that.

But which are the other tabs?
Don't bother, I'll check...

Yes, CEAs are a big enough deal or will be that it could have it's own main header on the left side of Configuration:

Code: Select all

General
 ...
Color and Styles
 ...
Information
 ...
File Operations
 ...
Custom Event Actions
  In Folder Tree
  In File List
  In Columns
  Misc
Find and Filter
 ...

[admin]

Let's see how far it grows. IMO currently it's still bearable without headers.

Another solution would be to simply make it 4 lists (and later 4 pages... ).

Weird, but I could not reproduce it with exactly the same settings. Did you use another font/font size?

[klownboy]

Let's see how far it grows...

Sounds good. Thanks Don.

More potential conditions or locations to consider in the future:
- middle-click on Toolbar white space
- middle-click a specific Customized Toolbar Button (i.e., open CTBs to middle click actions)
- middle-click on Breadcrumb white space
- middle-click on Tab bar white space

Good morning,
Now that CAE is really taking off with new options and features, I'll ask again - for reference viewtopic.php?f=5&t=21590&p=180807#p180807.

Is it possible to add CAE support/mappings for the tilt wheel (left and right) ? Not sure if you are able to capture those events or not.

Tilt wheel currently not. But in principle it should be possible, would need some research...

"Double-click on white in folder tree" and "Double-click on white in file list" are very good functions. They're great. I've been using them all the time.

Now the "After changing locations" function has been added. I can make the folder sort automatically. It's great. (It's just that the tree doesn't sort automatically.)

Thank you very much for your work.

    + Custom Event Actions: Now the beginnings of the scripts are shown in the 
      list. A blue dot tells you that a "Run Script" action is active. A red dot 
      tells you that no script yet exists to be run by this action.

The script column is not visible. It is outside the control on the right side. A few pixels (maybe 5) are visible.
