Auto Switch Mode: how to hide certain type of file automatically?

[byblo]

Is there a way to select files type to automatically hide with the "Auto Switch Mode" ?

For instance, to hide automatically SFV files when entering on a certain folder, instead of manually pressing CTRL+F12, then select "*.*|*.sfv"

[petermad]

Make this command in your usercmd.ini file:

Code: Select all

[em_hidesfv]
cmd=cd *.*|"*.sfv"
iconic=1

Make this entry in your wincmd.ini file (replace 16 with the next free number in your [ViewModes] section)

Code: Select all

[ViewModes]
16_name=Hide .sfv
16_icon=
16_commands=*em_hidesfv|cm_SrcAllFiles
16_options=-1|-1|0||-1|-1|-1

Make this entry in your wincmd.ini file (replace 16 with the number from your [ViewModes] section) - you should make it one of your first rules

Code: Select all

[ViewModeSwitch]
1_rules=?*.*\*.sfv
1_mode=16

You could also just put *.sfv in the Ignore list: "Configuration" -> "Options..." -> "Ignore list"

Thank you for the comprehensive answer

I have exactly the same question, but I'd like to know how to set up TC using dialog boxes instead of manipulating the *.ini files.

This is what I've set up:
custom user command em_HideFileTypes
with the command CD *.* | "*.bak *.tmp"
and set up Auto Switch Mode to ASM1 when directory XYZ is detected
but the file types (*.bak and *.tmp) are still visible

What did I do wrong?

Change the user command to
cd *.* | *.bak *.tmp

[Wojtek]

Change the user command to
cd *.* | *.bak *.tmp

Many thanks, works as it should!

One more thing:
How can I modify my user command?
There seems to be no way to pop up a "command editor" window.

What I do now as a workaround:
1. MENU: Configuration > Options
2. Go to TAB: View Mode > View Modes: select View Mode "XY"
3. Go to FIELD: Auto-run commands > press button [+]
4. Select Category: usercmd.ini
5. Select user Command "XY"
6. Press [Edit...]

Is there something less time-consuming?

Unfortunately the view mode does not switch back when I change the directory. The FileType filter stays active
Any ideas?

cm_CommandBrowser ?

That's what I was looking for. Thanks!

Any ideas why the View Mode "gets stuck" after changing the directory?

Because you probably don't have a rule that is activated when you leave the directory, and because you have changed the file type, which by itself can not be reset by the standard options for a View mode.

You have to reset the file type when you leave the dir, with a command - so put |cm_SrcAllFiles after your em_command in the "Auto-run commands" field. The | indicates that the following command must be executed when you leave the View mode. The cm_SrcAllFiles command will then show all files again.
