XYplorer Beta Club

I haven't been able to make a virtual folder in an XY script. I can from the hamburger menu with
vi:<get pick *.gif "G:\downloads"> //"Gifs Tools" but haven't been able to do it in a script. Certainly not a big deal. I was just wondering if it's possible in something like an XYplorer menu like,
"Pick gifs|:visualfilter" vi:<get pick *.gifs "G:\downloads">; I get an error, Dubious syntax: pick * The same error comes up if you use the script syntax in the hamburger menu starting with ::Pick Gifs...

Thanks Norn. So it appears that for the virtual folder syntax to work in a normal XY script it has to be part of the SC tab. Though I'm surely not positive on that. So, in standard old fashion XY script syntax, the following works: Though as I stated above in the BC hamburger menu, this works: Thanks again.

That was just to show you how to quote it correctly. Of course you can use it with all location commands, e.g:

Ok, that's what I was after. Using SC goto, XY will use my default tab instead of creating a new one. Thanks.

In using the syntax you suggest, XY takes you to the specified folder, but it doesn't use the saved FVS for that folder. That I assume is that because virtual folders have their own built-in capability of saved folder views?

You have to explicitly save a FVS for that virtual folder.

Thanks Don. I had seen in the help that "· Folder View Settings are supported. ". I wasn't sure if it meant necessary if the specified folder had a saved FVS...I do now.
