If you're unwilling to save it to a file you're likely also unwilling to put each script in a separate UDC so that they each get command IDs.

Possible solutions:
1) Use '_Initialize' (or a single visible script) and global or permanent variables to make your UDC call the desired script via Sub $label;.

2) Use your UDC and SendKeys to execute the desired script.

3) Don adds support for a new CID format which executes a specific label within a multi-resource UDC: #number.label;
I'm not sure period is the best separator here.

4) Don adds the ability to use UDC CIDs as resources within a Load SC so that labels can be used here.

This one gets thumbs up from me

Personally, I think 4 is a more logical and easier to understand solution.

Either way, I don't expect Don to be too interested since there are 3 solutions that do not require him to write any code...
1) Use a script file.
2) Use multiple UDCs.
3) Restructure the script or use a caller to load the desired script.

Wish:

in Step mode, when clicking Variables..., in the 'Variables on Stack' window the Search-field should be pre-selected. Then you can immediately start to type (part of) a variable name. Having lots of variables I almost generally need it...

Even now, if something's entered in search, and you enter 'Enter', the window is closed - that should not change.
So: no disadvantage, only advantage

[This will be so useful, I'm sure it's been asked before]
Wish we could have:
Custom button labels for msg, confirm.
Custom button count too.

Wish: Add 'move' and 'prepend' modes to the PaperFolder SC.

Just realised, we don't have bitwise operators
Any possibilities to add them

Allow selective saving with savesettings
Here's my amateurish try: Allowing to save main config as a different ini would be welcome too (like a script alternative to File->Save Settings->Save Config As...) Scratch that. That copy of ini then becomes the default, we don't usually want to do that.

while posting this, I couldn't copy text from the statusbar. Wonder how I do that.

Good idea. Then we wouldn't have to worry about saving too much, something not required to be saved, or something not related to the execution of a script.

Double-click the section you want or use the get SC: CopyText Get('Status');

Thanks, didn't know double-clicks applied there.

Code: Select all

savesettings [flags];
flags:
       0 = all (default)
       1 = ini
       2 = catalog
       4 = udc.dat
       8 = ks.dat
      16 = fvs.dat
      32 = tag.dat
      64 = pv.dat
     128 = servers.dat
     256 = action.dat
 

OK, done.

Whoa, unbelievable! big thanks!

savesettings 16 doesn't work. Savesettings 32 saves fvs.dat (which is for 16) and 64 saves tags.dat (which is for 32). I assume the trend continues.

Oh yes, wrong documentation. Here are the correct numbers:
eSettingsNone = 0
eSettingsIni = 1
eSettingsCatalog = 2
eSettingsUDC = 4
eSettingsKS = 8
eSettingsServers = 16
eSettingsFVS = 32
eSettingsFileTags = 64
eSettingsActions = 128
eSettingsPV = 256
eSettingsLanguage = 512
