The Glider™

[klownboy]

Hey Don, there seems to be an issue with the Glider staying up when you move the mouse cursor down to select a button in the vertical layout. Setup: large buttons, large hot zone, 1 button per row, initial delay set to 100, and snap is on.
Select a file in list. Now move the cursor starting from the right end of the folder in the tree until the Glider comes up. Once the Glider appears, lower the cursor down to select one of the lower buttons. As I lower the cursor, the Glider disappears and the then re-appears over the next folder in the tree instead of staying up and letting me select a lower button. It may not do this with ever folder position, but it does for me on most. It may be tied to mouse movement speed as you lower the mouse over the lower buttons.

Yep, got it. Fixed in next beta.

Where is the hover zone (for all the different list views)? What should it actually do (what buttons), or should it only pop for folders?

What:
For folders, the same buttons. Lke for the tree

Where:
The tough one.
I'm doing "real file management" in details view only. And I have line numbers on by default. So, line numbers would be my go to hovering zone (with the buttons poppig up "snapped to the left"). The next candidate would be the right sided white space name column and/or the folder label itself.

It won't come now so there is time to think.

Looking good!

For those looking for a script that's very befitting of the Glider, take a look at highend's Copyto, moveto, backupto to tab folders_v0.4.xys script at viewtopic.php?p=196748#p196748 The script lists each of your tabs as a target for the selected file(s) and even the subfolders of your tabs. Indeed, a very good candidate for the Glider.

WOW! Thanks for the tip, klownboy.
This adds an entire new dimension to the Glider™

EDIT: Typo

Hi phred, if you don't need to see the subfolders of your tabs (because you'd rarely copy to them), then you can speed up the script substantially by eliminating the appropriate sections in the script concerning subfolders.

Thanks for that. For me, once I ran the script via The Glider I was surprised and pleased that subfolders were showing. So no need to eliminate them.

While I've been using XY for about a year, I have yet to tackle scripting. Partly because there's been no need and partly because it seems rather complex. But the plan is to start experimenting with them by the end of the year as I can certainly see how much they can add to XY.

Copyto/moveto Tabs would actually make a good built-in option for Glider. I'd use that more than the paste button.

That would be the job for Tab Bar Glider not current Tree Glider, don't you think?

How does this old script interact with the glider? It certainly did not know about <g_path>.

Because I’m good xD

Well, it's like highend says and the script works on a highlighted file(s) in the list, so it simply copies or moves the file(s) to the tab folder or a tab subfolder. I do think it would be a great XY option for a Glider button even if only the tab folders and not bother with tab subfolders.

Well, it has *nothing* to do with the glider, as the folder the glider points is not involved. Just use a normal toolbar button for this script.
