Website and Help Typos

I noticed you mention you are adding the regex info to the help file, so while you are making changes I thought I'd mention that in the SC get section of the help file a few of the cmds aren't in alphabetical order eg.

saveonexit/MenuCaption/previewhandler/XYCopy_pending also UsedSpace/thumbnailprovider, but since those relate to the above items I can sort of understand why they are positioned where they are.

Also I noticed that SC filetime doesn't list valid entries for the "type" param, so some users may not know what values it accepts.

alphabetical order: I think I already fixed that in the current version.

filetime: whoops

whoops, looked at slightly older help ver.

The Help file says "Check to show the small file icon in the top-left corner of the thumbnail" but the icon is in the bottom-left corner of the thumbnail.

In the help file -- In view menu > view menu commands > for "Selected items to top" it is written as -- in one spot to easier do,which is not written correctly

[james8865]

In help file -- For "Default to repeat action on collisions",you have written the same thing 2 times,it is -- affects Custom Copy/Move, Backup

In XY help, as well in .pdf help, the section /script says (at it's very end):

Tip: see the tip below about "piping" …

But that tip is in section /feed, several pages above.

Not knowing what it's about you can need quite some time to find it.

Not a typo but a suggestion for the Help file.

Custom button backgrounds can be used with sc ctbicon, for example:

Code: Select all

ctbicon("Apple.ico*#F6F6F6,r");

It would be handy to include that information in the ctbicon section of the Help file.

Following my introduction to dereferencing, I think there's a small omission in the help:idh_scripting.htm#idh_scripting_dereferenceoperator

Code: Select all

$var = '$a'; *$var = "TEST"; echo "*$var, $a!";  //TEST, TEST!

This is only true after aid 1;, which is neither the default nor is set in the fragment. Perhaps that one example, which is the only one using interpolation, could be moved to after the statement

Note that dereferencing is also supported ... aid command.

together with an aid 1; statement.

Code: Select all

aid 1; $var = '$a'; *$var = "TEST"; echo "*$var, $a!";  //TEST, TEST!

Oh yes, thanks!

I suggest that the Help for SC "CopyTo" mention or even better show that the "Source" can be a string variable which itself is a delimited list of "name-w-path" items. The Source examples show single and multiple name-w-path items, but not the use of such a variable.

Someone fluent in scripting might just assume that this would work, but I wasn't sure until I thought of doing it and then tried it. Great because it let me build my string via various loops and then copy everything at once.
