Oh yes, 2 x
and 2 x thanks!
Code: Select all
style: 1 = show file system icons for the items (= default)
2 = show checkboxes
prefix items with "+" to pre-check them
Example for pre-checked items:
Code: Select all
text inputselect("Select Drives", "+C:|+D:|E:", , 3);

Wow . . .
I just wanted to say . . .
. . . Wow
I now have my tabs all proudly displaying their 'scripted' names. For me, this just makes viewing drives and folders a breeze. Seriously, this makes the visual display of tabs really very useful and speeds up work no end
I'm sat staring at my XY and this is a picture of me ---->

Oh wow, completely forgot that you started this some days ago (seems ages). Great!
If you find the new command as clumsy as TheQwerty says (
) or have some ideas to streamline it, let me know. I hardly have any time for scripting so I have no real idea about its usability...

Hi Don,
Nope, nothing clumsy over here . . . but please don't take the word of a scripting beginner. I'm sure the experts will soon let you know. Lol
Thanks very much for the time and the work, it's truly appreciated

Is there an trick now?
With v9.30.0012
::tab("rename","Test");
don't rename the tabs description/caption
but add 'Test' to the yellow tool tip only.
The same with 'Rename Tab...' from context menu.
Comparatively Test:
with v9.30.0006 i can rename the caption with the command from ctx menu.

Works fine here.

OK, it works for
"Custom"
or
"Folders only"
in "Tools > Configuration > Tabs >Tabs Captions: [ ]"
but not for "Full Path", what i had set here.
If i have set "Tabs Captions" to "Custom" or "Folders only" i see the renamed caption, but not if i had set it to "Full Path".
---------------------
BTW, i need but can't find an option to
read an caption.
<curtab> read the
location spec of the current tab
but not the
caption if the tab is renamed.
I think i search for
tab("get","caption");
and maybe tab("get","location");
and <curcap>
can we have this too, please ?
---------------------

1) Oh yes, bug!
2) tab("get","caption");
Yep, I'm working on these things right now, will come today...

Both works fine now with the latest XYplorer BETA version (v9.30.0014, 25-jul-2010), thanks.

From a fresh copy of XY v9.30.0015 run this script:
Code: Select all
::tab('relocate','<xydata>');tab('sethome','<xydata>');#349;goto('<xydata>\Scripts');
The tab icon should have disappeared.
While perhaps not the expected behavior, I did very much appreciate that before porta-tabs (portabs?, PTs?) the icon displayed on the tab was the same as the locked location.
This meant I could have a tab with locked home <xydata> which used a desktop.ini to display XY's icon and it would have the same icon even when I'm playing around in my scripts folders which do not have desktop.ini files.
Can we get the same done for relocated tabs?

Confirmed and fixed. Yes, should work as you desire.
