XYplorer Beta Club

Could you give some examples of the use of the new features? It's not completely clear to me.

Does this version helps to solve the issue posted by me in the post "UDC use"?

I plan a major UDC tutorial on the xy homepage.

What particular question fo you have?

No, the file1/file2 thing is not yet implemented.

You answered my question.

I will wait for the tutorial.

Hehe, I just added it. Try it, I'm curious whether it works.

It works correctly. Thanks

"UEdit32" <item1> <item2>

It doesn't work for me!!

error message:
---------------------------
UltraEdit

OK

but...

"uedit32" "C:\Program Files\XYplorer\April.ini" "C:\Program Files\XYplorer\April.ini.bak"

does work (the two selected files were "April.ini" & "April.ini.bak")


Neither does it work with UltraCompare:

"C:\Program Files\UltraCompare\uc.exe" "<item1>" "<item2>"

---------------------------
UltraCompare
---------------------------
File or Folder with name: '<item1>' does not exist.
Please verify file (folder) name or command line attributes
---------------------------
OK

Quotes or no quotes don't seem to have any effect.

Any suggestions??

I forgot to mention:
- this only works with Open With
- <item1> <item2> return the full path of the items

I'm obviously missing something because:

Open with:
"C:\Program Files\UltraCompare\UC.exe"

and two items selected does exactly that - opens UC with the two selected files for comparison. If three way compare is set and three items are selected, then three items are compared.

That's strange - the beta notes aren't the same now as those I downloaded earlier. Your powers of Zen must be at work again.

All these will be identical (if uc.exe is registered) if just two files are selected:
"UC" "<item1>" "<item2>"
UC
"UC" <items>
"C:\Program Files\UltraCompare\UC.exe"

The power of the new <item1/2> variables comes into play only where a simple blank-separated list of items is not enough. E.g., where sth like this is necessary (as in jcmn's original example):
dep.exe item1 /Fitem2
it can only be done like this:
"dep" <item1> /F<item2>

Ah, I hadn't appreciated the parameter between the two items.
