Recognize URL in Hamburger syntax

[LittleBiG]

It would be great if I could add URLs easily to the Hamburger syntax, similarly to paths, writing only like "https:\\www.xyplorer.com". Clicking on them would start the default browser. Now I have to create a one-line scipt for each URL, hard to copy paste more URLs at once, all rows have to be amended.

Good idea, coming.

Thanks, great, I like it a lot. Maybe also a caption possibility could be helpful in case of long URLs.

By the way, I tried to comment out the rows I created for opening URLs by script. Just to keep it for a while. But "//" doesn't work if it is in the starting position. By desing or bug?

1) Next beta: URL;Caption;Icon

2) Next beta: Now you can comment out whole lines by starting them with //.

Just saw: commenting out does not work with the first line yet in v22.90.0010.

Apparently the new syntax with caption and icon doesn't honor indentation, that is, it appears as a main menu item even if it is defined in a submenu.

[admin]

Yep.

[LittleBiG]

Much better, thanks.

One more idea. Can we nest multiple files. Understandably, files can be nested inside each other, so either they aren't read until necessary or silently ignored if already read.

File1

Code: Select all

C:
D:

File2

Code: Select all

E:\XYplorer\xyplorer.exe
pbrush

MyHamburger Code

Code: Select all

E:
<<File1.txt
<<File2.txt

Hamburger Menu

Code: Select all

E:
File1 > C:
        D:
File2 > E:\XYplorer\xyplorer.exe
        pbrush

Too complicated.

[LittleBiG]

I am not sure, what that idea was about, but if it was about dynamicity, it could be achieved in an easier way. Like a one liner:

Code: Select all

//H=MyHamburger.txt

And you could take care how to embed those file1 and file2 into one text file.

Tip: SC popupnested = Hamburger

Like we can set default programs within XY to open specific filetypes, is there a way to set a default browser from XY to handle URL's?

[jupe]

No there isn't a global setting (besides OS default), but there is nothing stopping you from just using a scripting command instead, here's an example of one way to do it:

openwith "C:\Program Files\Firefox\firefox.exe", , "https://www.xyplorer.com";

In the next beta you can define a default browser for URLs via CFA like this for example:
https://*;http://*>C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe
