[WFX] VirtualPanel: Temporary panel for TC

[Hurdet]

I opened un TC bug.

TC 10B1 seems to have fixed the bug.
But I every problem with file in subfolder. Do it is difficult to fix VPBatch.exe to handle path in file list without /*.* ?
Again VPBatch.exe break when have a unicode filename.

[MVV]

VPBatch does nothing itself, it passes command to VP in active TC instance, and VP performs <convert command.

[quantum]

Using an <explore window, in the toolbar, icons 1,2,4,5,6,8,9,10,11 are missing.

There were some similar reports, but unfortunately I can't reproduce this problem, Virtual Explorer panel looks OK for me in both 32-bit and 64-bit TC. It would be nice of course to find the reason. All icons are taken from running TC executable and WCMICONS.dll library so should be available in any TC version.

It seems that I forgot to mention it, this bug was fixed in beta 1376. It was caused by improper loading of 32-bit icon library in case of 64-bit TC.

Virtual Panel Beta 1376

Confirmed, toolbar icons show as expected with beta 1376.

I use the plugin every now and then, and I would find two features very useful:

* support for tooltips
* a corresponding content plugin that allows custom columns to display, e.g., the timestamp when a file was added to the virtual panel

Is development still ongoing for this plugin?
Thank you.

[DVV]

Sort of a newbe question, but how am I expected to extract/retrieve real paths of the items collected in the VirtualPanel? Let's consider the following use case:
1) I have a folder with a lot of media files (can be pictures, audio, video, whatever)
2) I go through the files in this folder and copy some of them to the VirtualPanel to do something with all of these copied files later
3) Finally, when I collected all the desired files in the VirtualPanel, it appears that the full paths to these files are retrieved as "\\\Virtual Panel\FileName.ext" where the "\\\Virtual Panel\" prefix neither allows to drag-n-drop these files to some other application nor allows to copy the real file paths to the clipboard.
Am I missing something?

[nsp]

Am I missing something?

With TC > 10

For command and button you can get all:
%v is virtual name
%V is full virtual Name

If you select real file and not vp element like virtual folder, script,...
%P%N is full path
%L %F are list of real names for selected items ( This is what i use to do stuff with tcbl or forEach script)

%S do not list real names.

You can also use vp command to export real names of a folder like

Code: Select all

<export ? .

you will be prompted for file name.
Another trick is to use loadlist0 from %L and then you have a list of Real Files...

Code: Select all

TOTALCMD#BAR#DATA
LOADLIST0
%L
wcmicons.dll,86
List of selected files


-1

if you want to list to opposite/new panel you have to save the %L into a fixed name to load after focus is lost and then use some cm/em_commands.

[Hurdet]

ok, %F doesn't enumerate nested items, but save folder path as "path\".
it would be enough to program VPBatch.exe to deal "path\" as it deal "path\*.*"

Perhaps an additional switch could be indeed added to <convert for recursive folder processing...

Do it have news about to add recursive folder switch for VPBatch.exe?
VPBatch.exe handle only first level folder when <convert and ignore subfolder.
Again have to modify "path\" to "path\*.*" in TC playlist to work in VPBatch.exe <convert.

[MVV]

Hurdet,
Sorry, no changes. I'll try to find some time for adding recursive flag.
BTW <convert is a VP command, VPBatch only passes it to VP.

Hi all,
I am getting acquainted with this plugin that I would like to use for following use case :

I would copy all content of a network folder into a VP. This should allow me to search for files very quickly.
Now however, I would like to cleanup my network folder efficiently and therefore I would like to be able to remove a file from the VP and have it removed on the network folder, kind of like a synchro.
Same thing, if on network folder a file is moved/deleted etc, I want the VP to be updated accordingly.
Is there a way to achieve such ? That would allow me to be way faster and efficient.

Reproduce :
Go to \\\VirtualPanel
create a new folder "test"
copy files and folders from D: drive, to VP "test" (folder1, folder2, file1.txt, file2.txt at root of "test" folder, and file3.txt inside folder1)
Now :

1. delete file1.txt from VP
2. move file3.txt to "folder2" on D:

how to sync so that file1.txt on D: is deleted, and file3.txt on VP is moved to folder2 ?

would the answer procedure also work if I do the other way ? (example : delete file2.txt from D:, and move file1.txt to folder2 on VP)

Note : after I did this 2 manipulation, VP on the left, D: on the right, I went to Commands > Sync Dirs, then checked the 4 "show" options and duplicate/single
at the end of the sync, file1.txt is also deleted from D:, and so is file3.txt, and on VP side file3.txt inside folder1 will have a red X as icon.
while what I wanted was to have :
file1.txt deleted from D: and file3.txt moved to folder2 on VP.

[Fla$her]

how to sync so that file1.txt on D: is deleted ?

I answered you how to do it, and twice. From Readme:

When you confirm deletion with pressed Shift key, plugin will ask you for physical files remove confirmation (confirmation is asked always when you remove files within physical folder link). ... When removing physical files, they are placed to Recycle Bin by default (if TC configured to delete directly or Shift key was held on confirm physical files deletion, files are deleted directly).

But it's not quite written correctly here. Instead of pressing Shift + Del, you need to press Shift + Enter (or click OK) when the first dialog appears.

and file3.txt on VP is moved to folder2

Doesn't the standard F6 key help?

[snop]

shift + del :
when done on VP side, no imapct at all on D: side
when done on D: side, act as if i just did a simple del, and file on VP side is marked with red X

shift + enter :
when done on VP side, it "enters" the file (as when you "enter" a zip file), i guess it's like the technicals behind VP plugin
when done on D: side, act as if I just did a simple enter, opens file.

hence my question

about the F6 key, this is how I move files yes, so when I move file3.txt to folder2 on D:, using F6, then when I look on VP (even after a refresh), file3.txt is marked with red X and is still inside folder1 on VP side

[Fla$her]

when done on VP side, it "enters" the file

Did I write about the side? >>>

when the first dialog appears.

After Del, of course.

using F6, then when I look on VP (even after a refresh), file3.txt is marked with red X and is still inside folder1 on VP side

After F6, the Download dialog should appear, in which you press Enter, and then the VP dialog should appear, asking for confirmation of the deletion of the physical object. If you press any of the buttons except Cancel, the object on the VP disappears and no cross remains there. This is what I observe.

[snop]

ohhhhh ok ok I see now.. sorry but I understood that to remove file I should do shift+del (and you mention shift+enter) when in fact should do del, followed by shift+enter when asked if I really want to delete the selected file(s). I know you mentioned it if I read again, but the emphasis wasnt strong enough for me to understand the subtility of that "gimmick" as it is not that obvious and a bit different design pattern than rest of the app.

ok now I see the dialog that you are referring to, and indeed, when deleting on VP side, it also removes on D: side
so that part is clear to me now.

but the other way remains : if I do the same step on D: to delete the file, then on VP I see the red X on the file that is deleted on D: but is still on VP side (even when doing shift+enter on confirmation dialog).
and if I move the file (F6 with or without the shift manipulation) then on VP side i just see that the file still is on it's former place but also with red X.

Sure. All physically missing files are marked with a red cross by default (you can set a different icon in the settings). This makes it possible to remember what was previously deleted from the original structure. If desired, you can delete such files manually by selecting and pressing Delete. Or at some stage, delete the virtual folder and copy the structure again. Auto-synchronization, as you understand, would contradict the essence of high-speed work with virtual file lists.

It could be implemented with an auto-update script, which would probably slow down the speed of its rendering, but, alas, for some reason, the author didn't provide a function for checking the presence of a physical object. ifexist checks for the existence of a virtual object, which makes no sense in looping operations with the current list.

There is also an option to copy a link to a folder instead of creating a structure. But I don't think that in terms of speed it will be fundamentally different from working directly with the drive.

and if I move the file (F6 with or without the shift manipulation) then on VP side i just see that the file still is on it's former place but also with red X.

Hmm. Check if there will be an effect if the source and destination are not network drives, but regular ones.
