[Req] In-place filename renaming

[Laplace]

I got this idea from the forum, someone discovered this by accident, maybe BlackDog.

The word "hack" is suitable here.

I know someone who did not so much by accident but by having more time to experiment with this and that . It must have been before the forum changed (after a crash or so) cause I can only find a summary.
No better solution still? That's all right, I found plenty of other useful tips scanning through the posts today...

RE: AutoIT Script
; (careful when selecting a folder, by default it calculates the size,
; which can be time consuming)

Anytime TC starts calc'ing a folder when I don't want...In my experience hitting [Esc] will stop it.

I have not read and tested your script yet...
But,
Why do you need to use space? Send "insert" button! It would not cause unwanted space calculation.

[SanskritFritz]

Send "insert" button!

By default, Insert moves down. Then I should move back, but if i'm at the end of the list, Ins didnt move down, and i get to the wrong file. Surely there is a message to send, but until there is real need for the script, i wont budge

No, I dont think so, because I am only member in the new forum, i was not participating in the old one.

Am I right that this code saves the current position:

Code: Select all

	ControlGetFocus sf_FocusedControl
	if (sf_FocusedControl != "TMyListBox1" and sf_FocusedControl != "TMyListBox2")
		Return

	SendMessage %LB_GETCURSEL%, 0, 0, %sf_FocusedControl%, ahk_class TTOTAL_CMD
	sf_Position := ErrorLevel

And this one restores it:

Code: Select all

	; Go back to the original position
	; The message was taken from Winspector
	SendMessage 0x19e, %sf_Position%, 0, %sf_FocusedControl%, ahk_class TTOTAL_CMD

?

If so, why do you need to return back after "insert" ?

It is not such a nice that this script won't work in the root directory.

, I forgot my own code
You are right!


EDIT: so i updated the script in the wiki.

It works, if you set the option Display / Show parent dir also in root of drive

You are right, but anyway, is there any way to check the if the first item is "[..]" ? Having [..] in the root looks unusual for me.

There is definitely a way, i have to find an elegant way, one method could be to copy the first position to the clipboard and check it. I dont have much time at the moment, later i will return to the problem.
PS: on the other hand, it wont work then anyway, and besides, when was the last time you renamed a file in the root of any drive?

You right.
Now I need to find time to install this script and to get accustomed to it.

In the meanwhile the script got so much polished, I might use it myself as well
I am as well annoyed by the inplace rename losing focus.
