Rename File is found on that page. I will add "(Floating Preview)" to the keyword.

Hi Don, I'm not sure if you had noticed this Help file issue here viewtopic.php?p=201194#p201194 since it was mentioned in the Scripting section.

Hi Don
Since the recent changes in the wording of this (basically the addition of "easily") the last line feed ended up in an unfortunate position.

Right. I inserted a manual line break before it now.

A couple minor things if your interested, SC recase definition has a curly opening bracket for {flags] and also SC count isn't in its alphabetic order position in the Scripting Commands Reference index, it is just tacked on the end of the C section.

Additionally not sure if it is required or not but for SC controlatpos and controlposition, the default value of [flags] isn't identified, although it can be inferred from the examples.

Alright, thanks.

BTW, the current Help files is too fat. Much too fat. And it's getting fatter with each release. I think it should be called "Technical Manual" and there should be another file called "Using XYplorer" (or so), maybe around 50 pages, written in good native English. If anyone here feels bored and inspired: I would even pay for it.

Code: Select all

Offer to extract items from the currently selected zip file:

zip_extract (, "", inputselect("Check Items to extract to current folder", replace(zip_list2(, "|", 0), "<tab>", ""), "|", 11,,,, "<curitem>"), "|");

First: Please remove the space between zip_extract and the opening parenthesis
zip_extract(
instead of
zip_extract (
The current way breaks my syntax highlighting generator parser

Additionally, any clue why the help file doesn't display the underscore between zip and extract??

I can see the underscore in my Help.

In Help / Advanced Topics / Scripting Commands Reference is it possible to add a mini-index or section by letter for the commands ? This is very hard to read.

It's alphabetical. I don't find it too hard.

[GreetingsFromPoland]

It is very difficult to read and follow. I don't see other alphabetical indexes presented this way. I suggest similar to this, top to bottom instead of squeezed left to right :

Code: Select all

------------------------------------------------
All Commands
(can be displayed as they currently are)
------------------------------------------------
A
abs
ageclasses
...
B
backupto
base64decode
...
C
catalogexecute
catalogload
...

Give highend's ShowHelpTopic script a try viewtopic.php?p=82518#p82518. It provides a vertical listing of Scripting Commands and much more.

Or, if you simply want scripting commands try this script. Originally from fishgod. You would have to update the $cmds variable when new scripting commands are added.

Code: Select all

"Script Help"
  //copied the list from scripting-commands help page (except for gpc, which needs to be changed to function as an alias)
  $cmds = "abs, ageclasses, appicon, asc, assert, attrstamp, automaxcolumn, autosizecolumns, backupto, base64decode, base64encode, beep, box, br, break, button, buttonset, catalogexecute, catalogload, catalogreport, ceil, charview, chr, colorfilter, columnlayout, compare, confirm, continue, controlatpos, controlposition, copier, copy, copyas, copydata, copyitem, copytext, copyto, ctbicon, ctbname, ctbstate, count, dark, datediff, datepicker, dectohex, delete, dlog, download, echo, editconf, end, eval, exists, exit, explode, extracttext, extratag, favs, filesequal, filesize, filetime, filetype, filter, flattenfolder, floor, focus, folderreport, foldersize, font, format, formatbytes, formatdate, formatlist, fresh, freshhere, get, getkey, getpathcomponent, gpc|getpathcomponent, getsectionlist, gettoken, gettokenindex, ghost, global, goto, hash, hashlist, hex, hexdump, hextodec, highlight, html, id3tag, implode, incr, indexatpos, input, inputfile, inputfolder, inputselect, internetflags, isset, isunicode, itematpos, lax, listfolder, listpane, llog, load, loadlayout, loadsearch, loadsettings, loadtree, logon, makecoffee, md5, middletruncation, moveas, moveto, msg, new, newwindow, now, obfuscate, open, openwith, outputfile, paperfolder, pasteto, patchimage, pathreal, pathvirtual, perm, popupcontextmenu, popupmainmenu, popupmenu, popupnativecontextmenu, popupnested, posatpos, property, quickfileview, quicksearch, quote, rand, readfile, readonly, readonlyhere, readpv, readurl, readurlutf8, recase, refreshlist, regexmatches, regexreplace, releaseglobals, rename, renameitem, replace, replacelist, report, resolvepath, return, rotate, round, rtfm, run, runq, runret, savesettings, savethumb, searchtemplate, sel, selectitems, selectthumbs, self, selfilter, seltab, set, setcolumns, seticons, setkey, setlayout, setthumb, setting, settingp, shellopen, showhash, showintree, showstatus, skipundo, slog, sortby, sortbylist, sound, status, statusbartemplate, step, strlen, strpos, strrepeat, strreverse, sub, substr, swapnames, sync, syncselect, tab, tabset, tag, tagexport, tagitems, taglist, tagload, text, thumbscacherename, thumbsconf, timestamp, toolbar, topindex, trayballoon, trim, unset, unstep, update, urldecode, urlencode, utf8decode, utf8encode, view, wait, wipe, writefile, writepv, zip_add, zip_extract, zip_list2";

Thank you ! This is very useful and helpful.
I also use HH to decompile the help file and reformat the top section of idh_scripting_comref.htm (before I read your reply). It is easier for me to read.

Thank you again ! The script you posted is also useful too.

Hi Don, there's an editorial error in the Scripting Commands Reference for "setthumb". #510 should be #501 as it is in the examples.

· Updating the map file does not automatically update the thumbnails cache nor the currently shown thumbnails. If you want to see an immediate effect you have to call #510 (View | Caches | Refresh Thumbnails):
setthumb 2:="XYthumbsMap.txt"; #501; //set map file + refresh thumbnails
setthumb 2:=""; #501; //reset map file + refresh thumbnails
