You are correct in that XY doesn't support it and I really doubt it will...and by the way, asking for a given feature in "next version" isn't the best way to phrase your request here...Don will add features if and when he wants which might be soon or much later...hieubm wrote:I have files like: XYZ.iso.001, XYZ.iso.002,...
and I want to combine these files into only single file. But XYplorer doesn't support this feature.
It's very good if this feature appears in the next version.
I appreciate that you attempted to locate it first as often people don't...and I used the same forum search "join files" but also looked for "001 002" which helped...hieubm wrote:Sorry, but I searched.
I searched "combine files", I searched "join files", ...
I searched by XYplorer search engine, I searched by Google..
But I didn't find anything, and then...I posted.
You didn't specify which vers you were using so if it's the Home Edition then scripting isn't available unfortunately...and while writing scripts may not be for everyone, anyone can make use of a script from others (presuming you have the Pro Edition)...Scripts is powerful, but it's not for general users.
Given that this type of split files isn't nearly as common these days as it was years ago, and his comment in the other thread, I wouldn't be too hopeful, especially since there are other ways to accomplish this function...but I'd see what Don says himself.And I hope XYplorer will has a command to do this (in File menu and right-click menu). And until now, it is not a given feature. Hope Don will add it soon.
I'm using the Pro Edition. The word "general users" I said means non-IT users. And I want XYplorer be easier for everyone.You didn't specify which vers you were using so if it's the Home Edition then scripting isn't available unfortunately...and while writing scripts may not be for everyone, anyone can make use of a script from others (presuming you have the Pro Edition)...
Good! That means you can make use of Scripts! And by doing so, you can extend the capabilities of XY in areas that Don may not wish to bother with or in custom areas unique to your needs...there are quite a few scripts already written and also users in forum who can assist in creating or tweaking them...they may not solve every situation but can handle a great nbr of them.hieubm wrote:I'm using the Pro Edition.

In the thread that I mentioned with the script from last July http://www.xyplorer.com/xyfc/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=3802, it's listed as item #4 by the OPadmin wrote:AFAIK this is the first request I ever got for joining files. I know that other file managers offer split and join, but these are features from the 90s that just survive as rudiments (I thought).
...ok, so that also requested a "join & delete" but it did request a "join"...though admittedly you didn't participate in that thread.4) I know other software can do this, but would it be possible to add a "join" fx for ".001" files and "join & delete files" to join the .001 files then move the original .001, .002, etc.. to recycle bin. There's NO program as of 7/2/09 that can do this. They can join, but not delete the remaining files. I currently use 7Zip to join the files, but then have to manually delete the .00* files. It's a major PITA.
was the basis for me to wonder if you would support the "join" and thus reply as I did above here.admin wrote:I'd say this is too weird to be supported.
Ok ok, I should sometimes even click on your links...j_c_hallgren wrote:In the thread that I mentioned with the script from last July http://www.xyplorer.com/xyfc/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=3802, it's listed as item #4 by the OPadmin wrote:AFAIK this is the first request I ever got for joining files.

But it was somewhat also referred to (a bit indirectly maybe) about a month ago in http://www.xyplorer.com/xyfc/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=4516 where you did post twice...and yourwas the basis for me to wonder if you would support the "join" and thus reply as I did above here.admin wrote:I'd say this is too weird to be supported.
I know I can't keep track of everything so I don't expect you to!
