Hi all, I was looking for a thread like "Custom Column Exchange". Thought I had seen one a while ago but couldn't find it anymore.

Therefore, here I am sharing on my own 2 custom columns with trigger-scripts which I am quite happy with:
USAGE AT OWN RISK.

Example:

cc SelByExt & R-Toggle.JPG

1) SelByExt (Select by extension):
Very simple, pretty self-explainatory, more a proof of concept (more flexibility would be cool regarding what to select - maybe if it could be dynamicly connected to the current sort order somehow)

(Paste the snippet in the "Configure Custom Column" dialog by right-click on the "Clear"-button.)

Code: Select all

2) R-Toggle (Toggles the write-protection attribute and potentially opens the item(s))
Actually 2 separate columns, since one shows the attribute state.
a) When the column-"button" clicked belongs to an item in a selection then the whole selection is R-toggled. Else only the current item is R-toggled, leaving any selection untouched.
b) If the same column-"button" (belonging to the same item) is clicked a 2nd time within about 1/2 second (after the toggle is complete) then the item is opened (and if it belongs to a selection all selected items are opened).

Bullet (b) is important because otherwise I might toggle a whole selection for edit but then would have to move from mouse to keyboard (or right-click... or whatever) to open. Even "open on icon-click" mode does not help because that would unselect all other items and open only this one item.

(Paste the snippet in the "Configure Custom Column" dialog by right-click on the "Clear"-button.)

Code: Select all
