Views - Toolbar button redefined

I would be happy if this button would be redefined so that:
Left click toggles between the last two different views used
Right click - no changes here - leave as is
Is it only me that wants to toggle between a detail view and a thumbnail view all the time when working in the image folders?

Me too. Therefore there is a special button to toggle between Details and Thumbs #1.

Ooops, haven't noticed it before, sorry.
Thanks! That does the job for me.

I'm relatively new to XYplorer, and have been impressed with these little details. Lots of smart little features are built in as "Easter eggs." For example typing "> report" in the address bar and pressing enter, will highlight all the occurrences of [report] in any of the file/folder names.... Good stuff.

maybe one can advice me something to be happy too, as i mostly use Large Icons - Thumbs #2 and there is no toggle for that.
besides, i find this 3 buttons kinda obsolete, 'cause whatever View one has, if clicked on it's option once more, it anyways switches to Details.

Here's a simple button you could use:
Code: Select all
if get("View") != 5 { // If not Thumbnails#2
// Display Thumbnails#2
#307;
} else {
// Display Large Icons
#309
}
Whatever the View you're in, it switches to Thumbs #2, and from there on, toggles between Large Icons and Thumbs #2.
Hope this helps,
Flux

Hello. I would change the script to switch type List-Restore Folder View
Code: Select all
if get("View") != 5 { // If not List
// Display List
#304;
} else {
// Display Restore Folder View
#478
}
But switching between turns List-Details
Help correct the script.
Thanks. Have a nice day!

You were nearly there. In the first line, you just have to change the 5 by a 2.
Code: Select all
if get("View") != 2 { // If not List
// Display List
#304;
} else {
// Display Restore Folder View
#478
}
In the first line, to determine "
If not List" (or "
If not WhateverView"), you must know which number (2, 5, etc.) corresponds to which view.
TIP: (one way is to) type in the address bar "
::echo get(View);" , you'll get a message with the number of the current view (e.g. "2" for List View).
Hope this helps

...another way is to look into Help, for command get():
"View", [pane=a]
Returns the index of the current list view.
For the optional "pane" argument see "BytesSelected" above.
Possible returns and their meanings:
0 = Details
1 = Details with Thumbnails
2 = List
3 = Small Icons
4 = Thumbnails #1
5 = Thumbnails #2
6 = Thumbnails #3

So I think XY Help is just made for you
No - just fun!
When scripting the XY Help is something I always use!
(And not only for scripting
)
I'd recommend this for every XY user! Really helpful!
(And neccessary...)
