New Columns

Code: Select all

      - Script (8): Script.
                On left-click XYplorer will run the script.
                Editable via right-click, multi-line edit box.
                NOT IMPLEMENTED. Might be too crazy.

Crazy? Crazily amazing! If you wanted to do something with only 1 file, this would be the fastest way to achieve. You could create special file popups, for example. I would love it.

[highend]

Yeah, some kind of PFA on speed^^

Note that this is possible already now. The "Link" column type (which BTW I renamed to "Location" column) also supports scripts (just like the Address Bar...). There are two things missing yet, which I have just added some minutes ago:

Code: Select all

    + New temporary variable <taggeditem>, resolves to the item (full path) that 
      is being tagged via clicking a column cell. In a script called by 
      this click event <taggeditem> can be used. After the click is fully 
      processed the variable is reset to nothing.
      For example, in a column of type Location you give a script as location:
        ::echo <taggeditem>;
    + New temporary variable <taggedcolumn>, resolves to the column ID (as used 
      by SC tag) that is being tagged via clicking a column cell. In a script 
      called by this click event <taggedcolumn> can be used. After the click is 
      fully processed the variable is reset to nothing.
      For example, you now can design a a self-destroying tag à la Mission 
      Impossible (again in a Location column):
        ::tag '::echo "I''m gone.";', <taggeditem>, <taggedcolumn>;
      So, with <taggeditem> and <taggedcolumn> you have sort of the X and Y 
      coordinates of the clicked tag cell. Hence XYplorer. :)

Link column should:
- Left click launch the 1st link (ctrl+left click maybe more common sense)
- allow relative to <curpath> instead of <xypath>

Edit:
Date Column:
When enter date like this: 2010-07-21 17:16:33
XY trim off the ms and display as: 2010-07-21 17:16
What if I want to display full ms or display only the yyyy-mm-dd? Can XY rely on systme's regional setting or we need format switch?

Hm, Left click DOES launch the 1st link.

The date display format should be the same as in the other date columns (Modified, etc). (Fractions not yet supported, might come later)

I have full row selection ON, so left click does not launch the link
How to turn full row selection OFF?

- YesNo (3): Two states, internally 1 and 0, displayed as localized "Yes" and "No".
By default initialized to 0 ("No").
Left-click toggles the state.
Editable via right-click, menu options.

It would be very useful to have the [empty] value as init

Why? (I'm planning to display this as a checkbox).

_no answer_ is a state for me, but if you show it as as _no_ check box this is fine

I'm not sure about that. Other opinions?

[binocular222]

2 states only:
- Empty
- Yes

[Marco]

Well, if you consider a fresh XY you have 7 labels, one being "None". Internally, tag.dat-wise, an item labeled "None" has no label (provided it has some other sort of tags that makes it listed in tag.dat). Therefore, a "No"-checked item should have no value and thus all items are initialized to "No".

[binocular222]

But XY should display as empty instead of the word "No" (reduce clutter)

[Marco]

Eventually there will be a checkbox instead of a Yes/No.

v13.70.0121:
- Y/N column: Select 1 file then click on check box which belongs to another file will toggle the box in the former file instead of the box under cursor
- Link column: link to xys script will goto that xys file instead of launching the script

1. You should put "I use Full Row Select" in your signature. In the FRS world a lot of things are strange. I will see if I can do something about this...
2. use ::load ...

PS: While point 1. is generally true in this case you really caught a bug in FRS and non-FRS.
