BatMaker - BatchMaker - BatchCreator
Posted: 16 Dec 2009 10:42
In the past i have collected names of files, paste them in an texteditor, modified the line and saved it as batch CMD.
I have seen this could be automatic by an feature in other FM and as stand alone tool also.
Now i tried to do the same with the help of an XYplorer script, just for the need and the joy.
First i have used
but with the friendly help of Don i can do this much simpler now with 'report'
The main part of this script is the script "report"-command,
(see XYplorer Help file > Advanced Topics > Scripting Commands Reference > report)
All i have done is to wrote an script to use the "report" -feature with one click.
(If one of you wants to help to improve the text in the GUI or in the script description... please comment below {english isn't my first language}
)
The first try:
