I could be missing something...but is there a way to quickly add a comment (Keyboard Shortcut, Edit Inline or Button)? At the moment I am Clicking;

Favourite > Comment

to comment on the file.

Thanks.

I do have the comments visible. I cannot click inside to add one, unless I am doing something wrong.

If you are using pro version of XY, you could also add comment from addressbar.
Eg: Type ::comment toprint; in addressbar to comment your files with toprint.

Yes that works quite nice. Thanks.

I was trying a button using;

tag "test", , 2;

but found no way to bring the comment dialog up, so was only suitable for a static word. So that was not satisfactory. Out of interest is there any way of bring the dialog box up with a script command?

A lot of XYplorer's functionality is only accessible by its command ID, a list of which can be generated through Help > Make List Of Commands. This will copy said list to the clipboard; by pasting in Notepad and searching for the command you're looking for, you'll find the corresponding command ID.

In this case it's:

Code: Select all

How does this work? Unless I've missed something ::comment is not a scripting command.

::comment still works but is officially DEPRECATED!!! and has been replaced by SC tag.

1. You can right-click the comment column in the file list and get a context menu for adding/editing comments.
2. In one of the next version you'll get an additional tab on the Info Panel to add labels, tags, and comments.

jest, of most excellent fancy. He hath bore me on his back a
thousand times, and now how abhorr'd in my imagination it is!
My gorge rises at it."
