Macros? Python scriptable!

I would really like macros, but I hope there wont be YASL (yet another scripting language). So why not use Python? I believe people would love this!

YES! Python would be cool!
It should be the first choice.

I think exporting all functions to a COM model would be sufficient. This way all scripting languages could call TC functions, if they support COM or at least DLL late binding.

batch files still work for me :]

I'd really like to see macros, and I think it's a feature suitable for the TC core. That might help for a cleaner, more flexible design.

A design I'd like to see is to keep pretty much the entire UI intact with the Preferences dialog, *but* with a new feature under the "Misc." options where you define hotkeys. Instead of just adding one command like those built-in cm_* commands, let a user call a custom function. It could use the very same text field.

Next, have a button there for a function/script designer (or it could just open something like Notepad, hehe), and what you add into that Command text field could now be not just the cm_* commands, but also the same as a function that's called in a script.

As for which language -- oh I don't really care much... I'd like to be able to call cm_* commands from within the script though, and have functions with parameters, to for example set pane widths from a script.

That was actually what brought me here -- I'd like one key in TC to expand the thumbnail view to give it a bit extra room at the cost of the other panel, and restore it again once I return to the regular list view. :) That's an example of a macro that would ideally only need two lines -- one to call a function to set pane widths, and another to switch view mode in the focused list.

How So?
