Plugin for sending printfiles/plotfiles to printer?

[Peter]

I use the freeware "Goplot" from www.noliturbare.com very often for sending printfiles (plotfiles) to different printers. There are very powerful functions for modifying the plots, but there is one missing function: the sorting of the file list is only "by name". If I want to sort "by date" or by size or by TC-user-defined-contents.. - no chance.

Is there a plugin for TC which uses the basic idea of Goplot?

Code: Select all

"copy myfile.ext \\myprinter"

"Myfiles" are the TC selection in one tablet, "\\myprinter" can be selected in the other tablet, and the feature is nearly the same like "copy from left to right"'
This would use the powerful selection- and sorting-features of TC.

Any ideas?

I know this is not what you asked for, but in GhostFriend one can change the order by dragging the line by selecting the grey box in front of the line.
I think this will work in GoPlot too.

Thanks, but there are two problems with your advice.

a)
Sorting the lines by dragging them does not work in Goplot.

b)
If it would work - it would not be the solution, because I have to handle many files and the sorting should be in an automated way.

Dragging does work, tested it a few minutes ago with GoPlotPlus
When you press the grey block in front of the line, a black line appears which is the new position of the line.

Other solution:

Create a button:
Command: C:\programs\GoPlotPlus\GoPlot.exe
Parameters: %P%S
Start path: C:\programs\GoPlotPlus\
Icon file: C:\programs\GoPlotPlus\GoPlot.exe

In one tc panel, order the files the way you want.
Select the files (num + or ctrl+a) and press button.

Only creates a new plotset, you can not add files this way.
Add files by sorting in tc, than select in tc and drag to the goplot program and release in the copies column. Files are added in order at the bottom of the existing list.

Hello Henrie

thanks a lot - you are completly right. Seem that I was a little too careless (or too stressed?) by looking at the function.

Thanks.
