XYplorer Beta Club

Alright.

A couple minor things I noticed if you are interested, under the SC inputfile help, the first example contains this: open """winrar"" x ""$file"" "<curpath>\""; the quoting looks to be erroneous.

Under the SC filetype(), UTF-16LE is listed twice.

Oh dear. It should be like this:

Under SC sync notes, there is this word "patternst" in the 3rd bullet point.

At last I also managed to find something It is under the tab() command in the help:

"move" = move a tab to a new position

data: The new position (first position is 1; defaults to 1). Position 0 (zero) is the last position. Positions smaller than 0 are calculated from the right end: -1 = pre-last position etc. Positions higher than the number of tabs are treated like zero: tab is moved to the last position.

index: tab to filter from (if missing then current tab)

return: the new position

It became the victim of a copy-paste.

Thanks, guys!

Don in the Help file under Custom Event Actions in Configuration, you may want to mention that multiple scripts or script files may be entered in the script section. You mention this in the beta notes, but I didn't see anything here in the help file. I assume form the beta notes and my own experiences testing that each script line or script files should (as normal) end with ";". So the following are acceptable:
on one line:
load "test_1.xys";|load "test_2.xys";
or
on multiple lines:
echo "hello";
load "test_1.xys";

Xyplorer will quote the entire script(s) as a whole when saving such that the first example above will look like the following in XYplorer.ini .
CEA_AfterBrowse_Script="load "test_1.xys";|load "test_2.xys";"

Edit: for my own info, I assume if you only have one script or script file for a CEA script entry, you don't necessarily need to end the line with ";" since many of my originally scripts for CEAs before the GUI do not end with ";" as I see them in XYplorer.ini.

Before I look into this: you separate scripts by | (pipe)??

Hi Don, I know you didn't specifically mention using pipes in the beta notes, but I honestly thought you did somewhere else. In any case, something like this does work.
load "D:\Tools\XYplorer\Scripts\DiskSpace.xys";|echo "Hello";
or another example,
echo "Hello";|echo "Goodbye";
Those are cut and pasted from Configuration. Of course XYplorer adds a set of quotes surrounding the whole thing in the ini file.

I just wanted to mention multiple scripts use in the help file. If a new line is the preferred way, stick with that.

I don't know where you have seen this but it's wrong.

echo "Hello";|echo "Goodbye"; just works by chance, and is functionally identical to echo "Hello";echo "Goodbye"; (just dropped the |).

It works by chance due to this rather recent enhancement:

OK great Don, thanks for clarifying why the pipe unintentionally worked, but was wrong and certainly not needed. So I'll just separate scripts (or script files) as you normally would with ";" or put them on separate lines with lines ending with ";". By the way I have syntax checking always on and that doesn't report an issue with using the pipe and your explanation is why.

Just letting you know that a user request, to add MUT to the Glossary was made, which made me also notice a couple other things, CEA is listed as a planned feature, but is now incorporated, and the list is also missing LFB MUSD, not sure if you want to add them.

Another tiny thing I noticed is that under scripting help, get("darkness") & get("darkcontrast") the opening quotes are excluded from the yellowish box.

Wow, that Glossary was extremely outdated. I added some other things as well.

Also added the Glossary to the "Getting Started" top level node in the Help.

Typo...

The "dice" and the "hand" character hard hardly recognizable

Merci!
