Somebody will find a real use for this...

Might accomplish the same thing as a ::SettingsMode command but it's still ugly.

... just like everything you've done since giving us the ability to change settings.

Of course, the Pan Galactic Gargle Blasting XYwiki is your best friend:

Thanks to jacky, the fearless wiki master!

Sorry to say: I had a look at the wiki and didn't find that info! Is the only chance to click 'All Pages', Then 'Script...', or am I really blind?

But talking about the wiki: big big thanks to jacky for that peace of work!

Yes, it's pretty much the only way for now. I'm aware of that, just like that there still are a bunch of commands missing as well... But don't worry, I'm working on it

PS: Really glad you guys like it!

Peter, just so you know we can make peace that it's a nice piece of work! Jacky's done a great job thus far!

I've also been doing some tweaking of those pages to fix a couple of typos, add some examples (taken from beta notes), etc. to try and help out the cause...anyone is free to do same...that's advantage of a wiki!

That's unbelievable! Thought I was getting blind, but just am getting old? (And a bit of gaga, or how should I call it...)
OK, next time, for my peace of mind, I'll talk about piece of work

So I kinda missed those two it seems, but there are other options that may need to be added on the list :

- Show Navigation Panel
- Show Catalog

Especially since a script can focus them (Tree or Catalog), but if they're not visible then focus stays where it is without error or nothing...

Since then you added "ShowNav", but:

- There's still no way to show Catalog
- There's no way to show Address bar either

I'm not really sure how this could be used/required, but those are two controls that can be focused, but if not visible it won't work.
I don't know how it could be used, because unlike Tree there's no way to make a "selection" there, but at least this can be done :
::focus Catalog; backupto "D:\Backup";

So maybe there should be a way to select an item or a category on Catalog, to actually make this usable (or a way to specify a Catalog category as source on the commands' paramaters) ?

(As for the Address Bar, I'm not sure it matters...)

I decided to add these only when there is a use for them in scripting.
