[WFX] VirtualPanel: Temporary panel for TC

[MVV]

VirtualPanel 1.0.0.420 (changes after 1.0.0.416):
* trailing spaces in condition of ifcond command are removed
* fixed exporting filenames in ANSI (Unicode w/o BOM was written)

I'm waiting for next bug reports.

I'm waiting for next bug reports.

No bug report ! Only compliments

I'm trying to do recursive stuff but it seems that it is not working with folder link. I would like to have a kind of <put /R MyFilteredVFolder MyRealFolder\Mask .... to add it in an >autoexec script.

As a workaround, I've made my C prog that make a filteredList and <put it afterward...

Yes, internal commands can't deal with files outside of VP, but when you enter folder link, you see files outside of VP. Internal commands may deal only with links to files, but folder links don't contain such links.


VirtualPanel 1.0.0.424:
+ moving from VP (physical file is copied and link is removed)
* fixed physical moving from VP (file was moved but link was left)

[nsp]

I have noticed two issues :
A) the <exec command seems to not wait the launched process is finished.
B) the %variable% do not seems to be replaced or at least passed without modification using the <exec.

BTW : if you are interested by a globbing function in Visual C++ i can send it to you by PM. (( The command line utilities
Usage: glob (-O outFile)? (-i pattern)* (-e pattern)* BasePattern+
File globbing utility, use ** as recursive wilcard ... as ..\.. !
-O OutFile = output is redirected to specified file
-e pattern = Exclusive pattern.
Only final files/folder matching :
- ANY OF the exclusive pattern(s) AND ANY BasePattern are listed
- do not use terminal '\' to filter folder !
-i pattern = Ignore pattern.
Only file files/folder matching :
- ANY BasePattern BUT NONE of the ignore pattern(s) are listed.
- use terminal '\' to filter folder !
Close with a forward slash to select/ignore a directory.
__________________ Samples __________________
glob c:\tmp\*.* c:\temp\*.*
=> list files from c:\tmp and c:\temp.
glob c:\temp*\
=> list all folder from c:\temp.
glob **
=> Do recursive search from the current folder.
glob -e *.cmd **
=> Do recursive search from the current folder,
but only select *.cmd files !
glob -e *.cmd -e *.sh **
=> Do recursive search from the current folder,
but only select *.cmd AND *.sh files !
glob -i .* -i .*\ **
=> Do recursive search from the current folder,
but ignore .* files and do not recurse into .* folder !

Of course <exec doesn't wait else TC will be locked until launched process is finished. But I may add special flag for <exec so VP will wait for process termination.

Command line is passed without modification to applications started using <exec so you may use external expander for envvars.

I don't understand where I need such globbing function. If you have external application, you may use it for creating filelists.

VirtualPanel 1.0.0.436 (changes since 1.0.0.424):
+ put command may now add files or folders or both
+ flag for put command to auto-rename file if such file already exists
+ flag for exec command to wait for process termination

Auto-rename in put command appends (1), (2) etc to filename (before last dot) until unique filename is found.

Great !!!!

Code: Select all

>AutoExec   {<del /f . <exec /w ........ <put /al .... }

Make my auto Filtered BranchView in virtual Panel almost perfect !

As advised i use my own external app to build fileList but it is automatically launched from VP !

Thx

And it works!
But I'll say that >Autoexec is not same as auto-update script. Autoexec may be executed immediately after loading state file with >Autoexec script in its root. And, auto-update script automatically called every time you enter folder with it.


VirtualPanel 1.0.0.470:
+ configuration dialog

You may change all INI parameters via configuration dialog.

[MVV]

VirtualPanel 1.0.0.480:
+ information box in cfg dialog and language, icons etc are updated after changing parameters if need
* changed font in cfg dialog and tab view (in some Windows themes vertical tabs are buggy)
* empty text now may be accepted as parameter value in cfg dialog

Dear MVV,

can you give examples of how to use icon folder? i mean how do i specify that a file to use a specific icon within a folder!

with thanks

In fact this is working fine for command.
The normal command to use is

Code: Select all

<add Name Spec 
ex: <add >Help <? <<C:\Windows\System32\SHELL32.dll,154

.

For File, no additional spec is possible to define alternative icon this way.

hi nsp,

did you try to use ico file instead of a dll?

[MVV]

can you give examples of how to use icon folder? i mean how do i specify that a file to use a specific icon within a folder!

You may set custom icons only for script files (you should specify path to any icon or executable/DLL file [and optionally icon index] at the end of script after "<<"), for virtual folders and for links to inaccessible files/folders (using configuration dialog).

The normal command to use is

Code: Select all

<add Name Spec 
ex: <add >Help <? <<C:\Windows\System32\SHELL32.dll,154

I have one note. When you want to add script file, you must enclose entire script to braces. So, right command line may be:

Code: Select all

<add >Help {<? <<C:\Windows\System32\SHELL32.dll,154}

If you forgot braces, this line will be treated as sequence of commands:

Code: Select all

<add >Help
<?

did you try to use ico file instead of a dll?

Now I have tested this and all works fine:

Code: Select all

<add >Configuration {<prop<<F:\Config.ico}

VirtualPanel 1.0.0.484 (changes since 1.0.0.480):
+ links to inaccessible folders are treated now as empty folders so TC may delete them

i will have to discover the power of script soon, since looks like it will reduce my tasks.

i am thinking to to have a script that will ask for a parameter and will launch search ...

thanks guys for directions.

Dear MVV,

Is it possible in the ini file you can have an icon file to represent a file extension if its missing.

part of my current ini:

RemovedFileIcon=w:\key.ico

i wish i can have something like:

RemovedFileIcon.txt=w:\rnote.ico
RemovedFileIcon.bmw=w:\bmwico

and so on... is this possible or too much of hardwork and checkings etc ..

would love to hear your comments and if i can offer you something : )
