hmmm... the minus sign is not allowed in the step field, Did you paste such value? I can't get any error starting at 20, end to 0 and step by 3.
No, it is not a problem of an error - it is a problem of understanding:

- A human brain thinks "go from 20 to 10 with step of 3".
- A computer (and a technician) thinks "go from 20 to 10 with step of -3".
- What kind of thinking uses a TC-user? ;-)

What to you think about this suggestion?
Do you mean add a message box that show X directories created or so?
A message box has the disadvantage that the user has always to click "OK". I think a message in the statusbar is enough.

If you need some help with the English tanslation, let me know after you get a rough draft and I will help clean it up.
Thank you very much for your offer :). I really don't want it to be a nuisance, but If you are interested... Should I contact by email for send the source html files? or perhaps the plain text files? a different way?
Go ahead and contact via email in my profile here and we can have you see the txt file via email.

How do I un-overwrite all my data?

Suggestion: "change to new directory"

Post by *Peter »

Hello Sombra

please add an option "change immediately to the new created directory".
What do you think about it?

Hello Peter,

Currently it is possible pressing CTRL+ENTER

These are the shorcuts available when XMD is launched in TC mode:
* ENTER: Make folder(s) in current panel.
* SHIFT+ENTER: Make folders in target panel.
* CTRL+ENTER: Make directory an open directory directly.
* CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER: Make directory in opposite panel and open it directly.

Tip: Right mouse button can be configured via xmd.ini file for similar effects.

:) Hello Peter,

Thanks for the interest. Currently I am a bit busy and I have not the desired enough time, sorry. Also until the last past week I was in holidays mode.
I'll try release the tool with the current modifications, but I can't promise an exact release date.

Regards.

Problem with blanks in existing folder

Post by *Peter »

XMD takes the current folder (selected, marked with the cursor) as "default string" for a new folder-name, when I press F7.

But there are problems with blanks in the folder-name - existing folder "My folder" brings only "My" as default ...

Bug or feature or wrong usage?

Hello Peter,

Ops, You are right. Seems that double quotes around %O is interfering. Like the wrong example that I gave. Sorry.
Instead the old example, try with this parameters: %N /T:"%T" This solve a problem with files and double extension in the name too.

Tip: Only if You are using TC 7.5 RC, then I advise to use these parameter: %Z%N /T:"%T" In this way the tool can be launched even if you are inside a packed file too.

Problems with "Working directory"

Post by *Peter »

Playing around with the function I have problems with "Working directory".

a) Process keeps open:
If I use "Working directory", the "xmd.exe"-process stays in my task-manager. All the following "F7-commands" do nothing but they increase the number of opened processes. I have to shut-down them with task-manager.

b) Working directory stays "forever":
Of course I forgot to set back my working directory - so XMD did not make sub-folders in my standard folder but in my test-dir ...

b1) Maybe the "working dir" should be reset automatically ?

b2) How to resest the "working dir" to "current"?

Push up the question:
b2) How to reset the "working dir" to "current"?
Help - I can not use XMD any more because my "working dir" is fixed.

hmmm.. I can't reproduce the problem here.
The only idea that comes to mind is that the "Start path:" parameter in configuration for button bar or in the extended command is not empty.
Also, try to leave in blank the field "suggested name at startup" in xmd.

That sounds interesting - I will check it tomorrow, and I think, with my last configuration the start path was added automatically ...
