Suggest some more internal commands for scripting

[Stefan2]

Hi Mr. Ghisler,
to make scripting TC easier i want to suggest some more internal commands:


cm_SelectFolder(Name, "name")

cm_SelectFile(name, "file.ext")
cm_SelectFile(CDate, newest)
cm_SelectFile(CDate, oldest)
cm_SelectFile(MDate, "21.11.2008")
cm_SelectFile(Size, biggest)
cm_SelectFile(Size, smallest)
cm_SelectFile(Size, < 1)
cm_SelectFile(List, first) like cm_GoToFirstFile
cm_SelectFile(List, last)

cm_FocusToSelection ;set cursor (focus) to [last?] selected file/folder

---

So one could simple use
PostMessage, 1075, cm_SelectFile(Name, varFileName), , , ahk_class TTOTAL_CMD
PostMessage, 1075, cm_FocusToSelection, , , ahk_class TTOTAL_CMD
PostMessage, 1075, cm_RenameOnly, , , ahk_class TTOTAL_CMD


---
Is this is possible?
Are there more needs?

I have seen there are workarounds, but this should be easier.

This one is not. But it can be done like changing directory, it's a bit more complicated, but doable.

Sounds like a good idea, I will consider it.

If this is implemented, I would suggest Christian a new category for scripting-related commands and not embed the proposed ones and any possible future ones in the present categories.

This will make them accessible easier and more productively.

Sometimes at scripting it is required to get 1) custom columns; 2) sorting method. I didn't find any description of possible messages to be sent to THeaderClick control. Mr Ghisler, could you upload somewhere programming methods to interact with this control. I suppose the custom columns (after being retrieved from ini file) can be processed the same way, right?
