Well, you might look into confirm() in the latest beta...jacky wrote:I don't know how easily doable it's be doing, or if Don would even like that idea, but I would like that very much, as I already have a couple script where I ask to enter 0 or 1, or make some kind of choice.

So, how do I write my own function now? 
When loading the script, on the menu should be "Check for updates of XYplorer Automatic Updater..." (at the bottom), click that and if a new version is available you should be asked whether to download it or notlukescammell wrote:Does the Autoupdate script have an autoupdate? If so, how do you activate it?
Yeah, XY 7.60.0015 is buggy and causes such undesired effects unfortunately...lukescammell wrote:I've updated the script and I'm running XY 7.60.0015 but when I "check for updates" now the script gets stuck in a loop asking for my archiver path. Even if I manually put the path in (relative or absolute) and press OK it still asks me to browse for the exe, and when I do, it goes back to asking me for the path again. Any ideas?
I think you will have to either update manually this time, or revert to a previous version first before you can then update to the latest beta.Glad it's useful, it's been saving me a lot of time as welllukescammell wrote:Just thought I'd mention that this has been working flawlessly for me for a while now, and it even did an update of itself a day or so ago. Thanks again Jacky, makes life a lot easier
The latest version of the script (still available from here) requires XY 7.70.0010 and uses global variables now, no more tmp.ini ! There were a few minor changes/fixes, including a test that recursion checker is off, because otherwise you might get lots of warnings using the script (especially when checking for BETA versions). This check is only done once of course. For the record, a version compatible with the last official version (7.70.0000) is available from hereCode: Select all
&&start ""dummy title"" $drive""$path""\<xyexe>"Well, that's weird and unexpected I'd say, but Vista is such a joy!drewkeller wrote:I found that the script doesn't restart XYplorer for me on Vista. Maybe Vista handles the command a bit differently?
cmd thinks the single quoted parameter given in the script is the title of the window instead of the item to start. If I add the dummy title in like this, it works:Code: Select all
&&start ""dummy title"" $drive""$path""\<xyexe>"
Also, the latest version now includes another feature : Extract a previous version. Like for the revert back option, it will list all previous versions available and in one click create a new folder (XYplorer vX.XX.XXXX) in the current location and extract said version of XY in the folder. The latest version of the script is 0.01.0008 and still available from here. Requires XY 7.80.0032 Now when entering the path to the unrar.exe, the script will auto-convert it to a relative path if possible and ask you how to save it (full or relative) Script changelog can be shown Relative syntax ?:\path\to\unrar.exe did not work when extracting old versions of XY, fixed. Plus a few internal changes, like dealing with recursion which now is done using setting AllowRecursion, and thus the script should work just fine (and without warnings) even when recursion checked is still enabled.
The latest version of the script is 0.01.0011 and can be downloaded from here. Requires XY 7.80.0032 There's a new dependency, in form of an additional script file (common-jacky.xys) that you can download from here. This new script will allow different scripts to use the same "features" without having to pack all the same codes, etc It's a "library", can't be loaded on its own (I mean it can be, but it won't do nothing ). There's been different little changes and fixes, as well as the introduction of "hidden" items, so you need to click on "Show Full Menu" to see them. For example, the feature "Get changelog" has been hidden, and so is the new "Edit Configuration File" (just opens the INI file) The major addition, related to our common-jacky mentioned above, is of course the possibility to use XYAU (this script! ) to check for updates of other scripts. Since I do work on a few scripts of my own that needs updates, since I use them on different computers or share them with other people, I wanted to quick & easy way to check for & update them all at once, so what better that using this script!Okay, just for you thenlukescammell wrote:Looking forward to seeing some documentation on how others can utilise some of the "Jacky Common" stuff, looks like a damned good idea!
One thing you can use already, if you want to play with common-jacky, is "_AutoChangeLog". What it does it read your script file to "extract" the changelog and show it (using text). Of course it must follow some rules to work:Code: Select all
/* ScriptName
v0.01.0000 yyyy.mm.dd XY v7.80.0032
