It is difficult. List Management makes it look easy and straightforward, but under the hood there is blood sweat and tears.

1. Rename itemlist option 0 to 'all currently visible list items' - this will make more sense after the next item.
2. Introduce a new value, 2, for itemlist that would use 'all current list items (including those hidden by visual filters)' or 'all current list items'.
3. Bring more meaning to these values by renaming them:
   • 0 could be :visible.
   • 1 could be :selection
   • 2 could be :list
   • And obviously [else] would be unchanged and still a pipe(|)-separated list of items (full path).

Code: Select all

$files = folderreport("files", "r", "D:\Temp", "r", , "|");
	$rndFile = gettoken($files, rand(1, gettoken($files, "count", "|")), "|");

I see how to get this work the highend's way might appear "somewhat cumbersome". However, I'd like to counter your conclusion by asking in return:

Is it justified to extend the SC API for such an exotic use case?


Cheers,

PS: Having SC supporting user functions would help to take off a lot of work from Don....

1. Flag to enable the soon to be possible monospace font.
2. When not using the checkbox style, the first item prefixed with a '+' should be selected, and all other plus-prefixes ignored/trimmed.
3. Ability to provide custom icons as previously requested.
4. Ability to insert separators again as previously requested.

If none has been selected then it should either be blank or the URL to the latest (for that XY vers) reference file.

The latter would be nice in the case of needing to retrieve the English translation of say menu captions including access keys.

Hmm, I don't think scripting should mess with language files. Do you have an example for your needs? I maybe can add better ways to spill out menu captions including access keys.

CommandReport([template], [query=All], [flags=0]);

Template:
  {CID}          Command ID
  {Category}     CKS Category / Main Menu
  {Path}         {Category} | [Submenus |] {Command}

  {Description}  Description as shown in CKS.
  {Shortcuts}    Keyboard shortcuts.
  {Scope}        Shortcut scope.
  {MenuCaption}  Menu caption for command.
  {Checked}      1 = Menu items is checked; 0 = not checked, checkable, or in menu.*
  {State}        1 = Command is currently enabled; 0 = disabled.*

  Defaults to the List All Commands format: "{CID}<tab>{Path}<tab> ({Shortcuts})<crlf>"

Query:
  "All" or "*"                (Default) Retrieves all commands.
  Category / main menu name.  Retrieves only the commands in a given category.
  #CID                        Retrieves only the command specified by CID.
