ALIAS FOR OPENING TWO # TABS ON BOTH PANES

[MCHAL]

Hi there:

Great program. Thanks for your dev efforts!

My question (and feature wish if not implemented yet) is: is it possible to set a single alias for opening two different tabs on both, opposite panes? Like, say, for copying, moving etc. operations in "c:\Program files" and "d:\backup" (this is just an example). This would be quite handy.

Thanks for your attention.

Warm regards.

Yes, its possible. Define something like this in address bar first:

Code: Select all

@backup=focus p1; goto "c:\Program files"; focus p2; goto "d:\backup";

And anytime you need it, call @backup from addressbar.

Thanks so much for your attention.

I did just as directed, but, unfortunately, it does not work for me (latest beta).

Thanks again anyway.

Works fine here. Operator error? What happens when you run @backup through the address bar?

Note that this will only work if you purchased the Pro license as scripting is not available in the Home edition.

You probably also need to use this instead:

Code: Select all

@backup=::focus p1; goto "c:\Program files"; focus p2; goto "d:\backup";

Note the '::' before the first focus, this informs XY that what follows is a script.


For future reference, there is an INI Tweak 'ScriptSmartDetect' that allows XY to "smartly detect" scripts allowing the user to use them without the '::'.

Thanks! It now works! I have a Pro license.

I enabled the option "Quick Scripting" and used the example code above.

Really appreciate your help.

Warm regards.
