[chrisge]

hello !

2 nice functions which works really nice in 7.40 and firefox 2 doesn't work more with version 7.50+firefox 3...

Maybe I'm alone in this case...

1.- When I drop a picture from a web site to xyplorer, i got this error message:

screen capture:



2.- When I try to right-clic on xyplorer and make "new shortcut" with an URL I got this message.

screen capture:



Thank you in advance to take a look on my problem....

1. Arggh. Why must they change things that work? I will look at it later.

2. Works fine here (XP SP3).

I can confirm this.

IE8 beta (once you've allowed it) and Safari 3.1 works just fine

There's a number of reports on Mozilla's Bugzilla about this, though I've yet to see anyone mention XY specifically.

Key discussions on it seem to be:

Yes, that's it. This user shares my problem:

Our application is looking for the DataFormat "FileDrop" within the DataObject
which is dropped on our application. In FF3, this data contained the path to
the cached version of the image on disk. In FF3 we no longer get this
information.

Looks like they gonna fix it soon.

Looks like they gonna fix it eventually.

Fixed that for you.

It's assigned to someone and a patch is available to test, but it's not been given a target yet.

I think it's a bug that disappoints many...

Since I need that feature myself urgently I had to go to work on it. And so...:

Code: Select all

    + INI-Tweak to make dropping images from Firefox 3 work.
        [General]
        WorkAroundFirefox3ImageDropBug=1
      If set to 1, the images are actually *downloaded* from their web 
      location to your harddisk.

Works fine here. Curious to see your results...

Where can you see these informations ?

Works fine here too, and even resolves the previous dual-monitor issues I had with FF2!

I assume this is using the same code, so perhaps Download2 may soon become public?

Impressive, TheQwerty! Not only can you read binaries, you also read thoughts!

Assuming you have installed and are running the new version (v7.50.0011) and also have quick scripting enabled put the following into the address bar and hit enter:

Code: Select all

::#182;SetKey(1, "WorkAroundFirefox3ImageDropBug", "General");#190;

That will save all settings, enable the tweak, and then restart without saving XY.

Okay, play with it (but use "download2" instead of "download") :

Code: Select all

      ' download file from the internet
      ' syntax: download SourceUrl, [TargetFile]
      '   SourceUrl:  any URL (http:// or ftp:// or file:///)
      '   TargetFile: defaults to <curpath>\sourcefilename
      ' ::download "http://www.xyplorer.com/download/xyplorer_6.80_beta_noinstall.zip", "<curpath>\xy.zip"

      ' ::download "http://www.xyplorer.com/download/xyplorer_6.80_beta_noinstall.zip", "<curpath>\xy.zip"

I already had been, and am glad to see I was right guessing the arguments.

Been trying to figure out a few of the other undocumented commands as well, but there's 4 that I can guess from the name but they don't appear to be doing much of anything.

Nice one there, but before it's made public it'd be nice to have a way to get feedback of statusbar (% when/if possible, or size downloaded so far otherwise). (Ideally we could send a text to be used on statusbar as well - as prefix, or using %s)

Then, if <target> could actually be a variable, and with another param it means XY won't read the file name from that variable, but actually store the URL's content into that variable, that would be the best (unless that's for the command read?)

Because ATM for example my script to auto-update XY relies on two external app (wget & clip), but if I could have ways to download an URL into a file, as well as load it into a variable, then I could finally make my script dependencies-free! (Well, except for WinRAR but that one I don't count, obviously)
