Predefined PFAs for POM

[admin]

From the next version onwards, on a fresh installation, there will be some predefined PFAs for the POM. Up to now I just have one:

Code: Select all

|"Append modified date" \;*>::rename b, *-<datem yyyymmdd>

Maybe you have some splendid ideas for more...

Meh, I liked the idra of having one for XYS file. In fact, maybe you could create a little script file by default:

Code: Select all

xys>::load PFA-XYS;

Scripts\PFA-XYS.xys :

Code: Select all

"Load script file..." load <curitem>;
"Edit with notepad..." openwith "notepad";

Also, one I use all the time is:

Code: Select all

|"Delete"*;\>::delete 0,1;

Is there a typo in change log for 7.40.08? It has

Code: Select all

+ On a fresh installation there will be some predefined PFAs for the POM: 
        +|"Append modified date" \;*>::rename b, *-<datem yyyymmdd> 

Note the extra "+" at beginning of append...that's what I'm asking about...I removed it in blog post based on code shown in this thread.

Well, yes and no I guess... it's all about POV The PFA itself doesn't include the +, but you should type it if in Editor mode, as it means the PFA is enabled/checked...

Since I've only used a couple of PFA'a and never looked at them via Editor mode, the "+" didn't register with my ole brain...

BTW, could you describe this supplied entry in the wiki?

I added a couple of links to PFA/POM on the Introduction page as I had to search for them, as had hoped to find a link on some main page (or left frame) given how valuable these features are.

Just for the record, this isn't a PFA-specific thing, same goes for any checkbox list on LM, e.g. Color Filters or FF: Excluded Folders...

You mean described what that PFA does ? Yeah, of course that's on my list since it's been added by default to fresh install! Just haven't had time yet to get to it...

Yeah, there was "only" a link to Portability, but at least one to PFA was probably missing indeed. Only problem is, with XY, you want to put a link for every single feature given how they're all so unique, useful, addictive and powerful!
