[granted]Custom Copy collition - scripting access.

[eil]

Often when collision happens during copy/move operations, the list of options CC provides is not enough(especially for "power-users").
What if:
- user wants to open one of items to check if maybe some remarks left, why item is in place, or...
- user decides to copy both items to separate place while skipping this one collision, or...
- user prefers to open 2 collision items in Beyond Compare for deciding collision after that.

All this variety of tasks can be done manually, though it's kinda bothersome. Yet this could be solved with scripting, by simply 2 things added(which this Wish is about):
1. Add variables corresponding to 2 items currently in collision. Smth lime <colitem1> <colitem2>.
2. Scripting button in CC collision window, just like Hamburger Menu button, that allows to incorporate own script.

Me personally especially interested in ability to send 2 items for comparison in some app(like BC), and only after results make a collision decision. Mind that collision while coping quite often is not expected, and user suddenly gets to know item already exists, so definitely more research and checks needed than simple deciding "this item is newer, so do overwrite".

Too idiosyncratic.

[eil]

How about at least variables for collision items?

[admin]

No way. Remember that this can happen in a background process.

[eil]

Shame. I really got tired each time to manually go track 2 items, just to send them to comparison.

[eil]

How about at least a way to copy pathes from collision window, by double-click on those bold lines?

[admin]

Right-click the bold lines to get a small Copy Path menu.

Actually left-click as well, but that's a bug I'm gonna fix NOW.

The next version will also have a command to copy both paths (one per line):

Now that's a thing i can work with! Thanks.

If anybody else reading this topic may know an elegant way to check if <clipboard> has exactly 2 pathes and nothing else, please share a hint.

The latest version doesn't have "Copy Both Paths"?
Check this option, you will see the white menu item "Copy Path".
Configuration | File Operations | File Operations | Background Processing | Enable background processing | Apply to... | Copy (can be queued)

If I uncheck it I will get the normal dark menu with two items. Checking Move cross-volume (can be queued) has no effect.

AutoHotkey script.

            c[id] := {default: h_default, blank: h_blank}
        }
    }
    switch cmd
    {
    case "Show": visible := true
    case "Hide": visible := false
    case "Toggle": visible := !visible
    default: return
    }
    for id, handles in c
    {
        h_cursor := DllCall("CopyImage"
            , "Ptr", visible ? handles.default : handles.blank
            , "UInt", 2, "Int", 0, "Int", 0, "UInt", 0)
        DllCall("SetSystemCursor", "Ptr", h_cursor, "UInt", id)
    }
}

I see that the control that displays the text is a picture control, so I can't directly get the text of the control.

It's not yet implemented for background operations. Next beta.

Wanna thank Norn for an AHK script, and share my simplistic XY script that i use for Beyond Compare.(with paths in clipboard check-use included)
