CEA - Custom Event Actions

[admin]

I put a sorting into the "after browsing" in 21.30.0023. I expected not to see the flicker from changing the sorting, as it the script was not in the after painting section. But I was wrong. Is there something to improve still?

How do you go to the new location. Within tab? Tab switch?

Simply by double-clicking on a folder in the list.

Could not reproduce any flicker. Neither with fresh. My test script in "After browsing a folder":

Code: Select all

if (<newpath> Like "*\Program Files\*") {
  sortbylist "Readme.txt|License.txt|*.exe", "|";
}

I am answering by an extension of your script to show where the flicker comes from:

Code: Select all

//test
  echo "wait a bit to see the folder content";
  if (<newpath> Like "*\Program Files\*") {
    sortbylist "Readme.txt|License.txt|*.exe", "|"; 
  }

Not everybody's computer is that fast.

Nope, no contents here. Must be some setting. Try fresh...

It is fresh indeed!

I made a mistake with the script. Echo should have been in the if section.

Code: Select all

//test
  if (<newpath> Like "*\Program Files\*") {
    echo "wait a bit to see the folder content";
    sortbylist "Readme.txt|License.txt|*.exe", "|"; 
  }

LittleBiG, if I understand correctly, you expect that the list, that is visible behind the echo-dialog should be empty.
Instead it is already painted with the default sort order.
Therefore, it flickers when your custom sorting command is executed.

If that is what you mean, then yes, I can confirm that. It also happens on my computer as well, just that I don't see a flicker (without the echo-dialog), assumingly because my computer is faster.

BTW, I am on Win 8.1

...If that is what you mean...

Yes, I meant that. Also, it depends on the number of files in the folder. And I have folders with lots of files.

"Double-click on white in folder tree" is set to "Go up" and "Double-click on white in file list" is set to "Go up".

Click "OK" to close the configuration dialog box. Then open the configuration dialog box, "Double-click on white in file list" is set successfully, "Double-click on white in folder tree" is not set successfully.

Do you have such problems?

Thank you.

Just my 2 cents, it is hardly possible to be brief enough to put useful information into the first row of the script for showing it in the script column of CEA configuration.

There might have been 2 factors:
- Autosize Columns set in before event "After browsing a folder". I fixed that now.
- the message box itself (echo...) causes a list paint because the list loses its focus (classic observer's paradox)

So, test the next beta...

I agree that it is not a lot of space. Like I wrote before: I am sure that there could be a better solution, but do you have one? Why did you not share it with us?

How many characters do you need to see?

Because it can be no good for the other tabs. Sigh. Ok, I show now.
