[WDX] Autorun Plugin: Run commands/set envvars on TC start

[MVV]

You may start via plugin any apps that you start from batch. Just use ShellExec command like this:

Code: Select all

# Open Quick View on left panel
ShellExec "%COMMANDER_PATH%\Addons\TCFS2\TCFS2.exe" "/ef tcm(104)"

Currently plugin can't check if some app is running (only via bat file that is started from plugin), but it was requested (and will be realized as plugin I think).

cool, please let us know when you implement such a "onlystartifnotrunning" parameter

until then i will stick with a .cmd using pslist.exe, find.exe and handle.exe

hi there

can you please post a few more examples to get more ideas of the .cfg file?
i have quite a lot of .cmd before/while tc starts, which are probably still needed, since tc has to be mounted and started from within a truecrypt volume and i need the information before tc is started.

but i think i could migrate the following things:
path to be synced (dropbox)
path not to be synced (tcmd addons)
start 3rd party apps if not already running

cheers

You could use AutoHotkey for the latter.

Code: Select all

ShellExec /ec %USERPROFILE%\Documents\AutoHotkey\TC_StartApps.ahk

Code: Select all

; TC_StartApps.ahk
if(!WinExist("Untitled ahk_class Notepad") )
   Run, notepad.exe

And if AutoRun.wdx can run cmd.exe, there's little difference to using

CMD.exe START "" Program.exe
OR
CMD.exe START "" FileWith.Extension
VS "ShellExec"

E.G, if file "Test.txt" exists, then these two commands do the exact same thing.

---> ShellExec Test.txt
---> CMD /c START "" Test.txt

Further, within an AHK script, the "Run" command will work similiarly as well, e.g.
Run, Test.txt


If "Test.txt" doesn't exist, then as is, none of those commands will be able to auto-create/open it in the default application.

Except AHK and CMD could check for existence of the file and do something specific if it doesn't exist instead.

[sgp]

I think ShellExec will only work if the Windows shell is running (granted that's 99.9% of cases) and if a file association for .ext is stored in the System Registry, which is not guaranteed, especially since tcvol is running a portable installation.

I have defined all my portable apps as TC portable associations. Can AHK look up a file extension and return the command line(s) that TC associates to open that extension?

[MVV]

You will need some script/tool that will read TC internal associations section and check if given file may be assosiated with one of existing IA templates.

I think ShellExec will only work if the Windows shell is running (granted that's 99.9% of cases) and if a file association for .ext is stored in the System Registry, which is not guaranteed, especially since tcvol is running a portable installation.

I have defined all my portable apps as TC portable associations. Can AHK look up a file extension and return the command line(s) that TC associates to open that extension?

not sure if you mean this .. but this works

internal associations

Code: Select all

*.ahk
"%commander_path%\ess\util\autohotkey\AutoHotkey.exe" "%1"

No, this isn't waht I meant with my question. I meant can AHK read TC internal associations section and check if a given file is associated with some existing templates, and return a menu of such templates.

I scripted the above with Take Command - a CMD replacement - and I'm interested in finding an equivalent AHK script.

Hello MVV,

I tried using "fileexist" to check for the existence of a file using environment variables to construct the path.
For this purpose I used the conditional like

Code: Select all

IF FileExist %COMMANDER_PATH%\config\%COMPUTER_NAME%-Dirmenu.ini Then ...
Endif 

This gave me a permanent syntax error concerning the FilExist function.
Then I used the syntax variation with a variable to store the result, but that way I always get a 0 even if the file exists.

Could you please help me using it the correct way for the help-file doesn't offer much help in the error case...

Thanks
Usul

[MVV]

Works ok for me:

Code: Select all

IF FileExist "%COMMANDER_PATH%\Data\1.ini" Then
	IniWrite "%COMMANDER_PATH%\Data\1.ini" "sec" "key" "yes"
Else
	IniWrite "%COMMANDER_PATH%\Data\1.ini" "sec" "key" "no"
Endif

On first TC restart I see no (because file wasn't there) but on second TC restart I see yes.

Have you tried to quote filename? It is quoted in example from help topic.

[Usul23]

Hi MVV,

works now ... I had a little typo with the FileExist .. forgot an "e".

Thanks for your help.

[baiyq]

very nice plugin. thanks a lot!

I add many portable application in autorun.cfg , but when I restart tc , many application will start another instance , I don't hope this, only one instance is enough.

plz help me! thanks again!

[MVV]

Well, I think you could use ProcessExist command to check that some of your processes was already started (some with the most unique name to prevent detections of regular PC processes, or just pass full process' path with /F option).

Example:

Code: Select all

LoadLibrary Plugins\Autorun_Process.dll

Set myFirstTool "%COMMANDER_PATH%\Tools\Tool1\tool1.exe"
ProcessExist /F alreadyRunning "%myFirstTool%"
If %alreadyRunning% = 0 Then
	ShellExec "%myFirstTool%"
	# start other tools
Endif

Or maybe even easier way:

Code: Select all

LoadLibrary Plugins\Autorun_Process.dll

ProcessCount /F numInstances "%COMMANDER_EXE%"
If %numInstances% = 1 Then
	# start all tools here
Endif
