Here, try this. This will add a toolbar button. You drag a TC collection text file on to that button, and the files in that collection will be listed by XY. You then do tagging or whatever with the files.

step 1. Copy this code below.

Code: Select all

Snip: CTB 1
  XYplorer 18.50.0307, 12/13/2017 12:55:10 PM
Action
  NewUserButton
Name
  List Files in TC collections
Icon
  :paste
ScriptL
  // drop a TC collection file on this button and the items will be listed.
    if (<drop>) {
      $list = readfile(<drop>);
      $items = replace($list, <crlf>, ';');
      goto $items.'?';
    }
    
  
ScriptR
  
FireClick
  0

step 2. type this in XYplorer's addressbar and press ENTER. A new button with clipboard icon will be added to the toolbar.

Code: Select all

::snippet <clp>;

step 3. Now drag a collection file from TotalCommander on to this button. The items in that collection should be listed by XYplorer.

Ah, right. I had the same idea. Actually listing dropped items from any application can be a great feature. So I'd already modified that snippet for myself.

Use this code instead.

Code: Select all

  XYplorer 18.50.0307, 12/13/2017 1:16:42 PM

ScriptL
  // drop items from external apps onto this button and the items will be listed .
    $list = <drop>;
    if ($list) {
      $items = replace($list, <crlf>, ';');
      $target = $items.'? /n';
      goto $target;
    }

[/size]The same drill as before. Copy the code, type "::snippet <clp>;" into addressbar, and find a new added button (with a nutty icon this time).
Anything dropped on this button should be listed by XYplorer, as you wanted.

Where did I ask you to do this?

Please read the directions carefully.

Alternatively, try this. type just "::snippet;" in the address bar. A textbox will open. Paste the entire code there and press OK.

you can drag things on to a custom toolbar button (or a UDC, or a script file).

Here, try this. This will add a toolbar button. You drag a TC collection text file on to that button, and the files in that collection will be listed by XY. You then do tagging or whatever with the files.

Well, you could have tried following the directions as laid out anyway.
See, in step 2 there, I asked you to type "::snippet <clp>;" ? Well, the <clp> bit automatically gets the clipboard content (the copied code in this case). So you did not need to paste anywhere yourself.

Anyway, you got it working, and I'm glad to help. Yeah, I agree, this can be a really useful snippet.

mhh,it feeels a bit too bare for an individual thread at scripts-exchange. I'd first like to flesh it out more; add some enhancements... keep a look-out.
