Code: Select all

    $items=chr(39).get("SelectedItemsPathNames",",").chr(39);
//Get item's names
    $itemnames=chr(39).get("SelectedItemsNames",", ").chr(39);
//Insert values into Thunderbird syntax
    $TB_Syntax= chr(34)."subject=$itemnames,body=$itemnames,attachment=$items".chr(34);

//Attach selected files to thunderbird's compose window 
//This method uses command prompt. 
    run "cmd /c cd /d C:\Program Files\Mozilla Thunderbird\ & thunderbird -compose $TB_Syntax";

filnename.pdf
filename.tif
filename.pdf
etc.

Thank-you!!!

This works flawlessly. Is it possible to add the word Emailing: before the names of the files on the subject of the e-mail?? I have tried this, but it does not come out okay. I tried:

"subject=Emailing: $itemnames, body etc., but in the subject it only appears the name of the first file.

And the last one, that I do not even have idea if it is possible is to number the files in the body of the e-mail. Eg.:

1) file.pdf
2) file.tif
3) file.jpg, etc.

I have appreciated very much your help, because now I have a button in my toolbar that attached the selected files to my e-mail client. Thank-you again.

Also, I would appreciate if you can contribute to XY in anyway possible, including writing reviews and spreading the word. And ofcourse if you are evaluating this product, consider buying it.

And here's the script:

Code: Select all

//Attach to Thunderbird
//Get item's path and names
    $items=chr(39).get("SelectedItemsPathNames",",").chr(39);
//Get item's names
    $itemnames=chr(39).get("SelectedItemsNames",", ").chr(39);
//Get item's names for subject
    $itemsubject=chr(39)."Emailing: ".get("SelectedItemsNames",", ").chr(39);
//Get item's names for body
  $itemnamesbody=chr(39).report("{#}) {name}<br>", 1).chr(39);
//Insert values into Thunderbird syntax
    $TB_Syntax= chr(34)."subject=$itemsubject,body=$itemnamesbody,attachment=$items".chr(34);

//Attach selected files to thunderbird's compose window

    run "cmd /c cd /d C:\Program Files\Mozilla Thunderbird\ & thunderbird -compose $TB_Syntax";

I had been trying to put-up a script with these characteristics for a while, but nothing concrete had come up. I sure will be making positive comments about XYPlorer, as I genuinely think is the best file manager there is, and if you know scripting like you do, there are endless possibilities. Overall, I am very satisfied with the customized button I now have in my toolbar. Thank-you very much.
