Plugins proposal: Dir Monitor

[poiuytr]

Dude, the lister plugin interface is LIMITED in functionality. Is there any chance that you will try to understand that some day?

There are some plugins that break limitations of design. TConsole, for example. Do not forget about creativity of some individuals

Almost anything can be done in some way. It just depends on how open-minded you are.

TConsole IS the greatest!!!
Respect for that.

TConsole is a file system plugin, not a lister plugin and it is one of the best examples of what being limited means. If you have ever tried to telnet with this thing you maybe know what I mean.

So, the TConsole plugin is for sure an impressive proof-of-concept but "real" solutions are the excellent console integrated in xplorer2 and also the neat integration in Speed Commander.

It makes no deep sense to built calendars in the lister interface or to use TC lister as an interface to host some dirty hack of an NTFS access watcher as standalone applications are way better suited for these kind of tasks.

Using the lister interface for system management tasks is like creating an emulator of a C64 on a ZX81.

We are concerning ourselfs with how things can be done , while it seems that some of you do just oposite.

I don't use calendar. But I use TConsole alot. Also, I imagine some people using calendar a lot.

The good thing is that you can choose NOT TO USE IT !!!

It makes no deep sense....

I disagree. It makes sence since it is about file management. If I wan't do delete something and I can't its failure of the file management system, since it doesn't handle all cases of file usage.

What about VisualDirSize, icfu. Do you find it useful ?

For instance, consider this: When you are out of HD space while copying, TC will inform you about failure and termnate copying. What about retry (continue) after I clean some space ? I found it to be limitation, yet some of you may think of this as special case, thus, not deserving attention.

PS: also, when I am posting here, I don't need people answering me what 3rd party tools can I use to solve the problem (except if I ask). I am always interested in how things can be done within TC itself, thats way I am on this forum in first place. I am sure we all know how to use Google to find answers on general computer usage problems.

Who exactly is "we", dude? All I can see is that with with more than 50 posts in a few days you have wasted more time in provoking people willing to help you than being kind and serious.

Yes, it "seems" like some of us are doing the opposite but this is due to your plain ignorance. You should have better invested the time for lurking and reading this forum for a while before telling anyone here how "the job" is done right. Your attitude is rather funny actually, entering a forum for the first time and behaving like some teen on crack.

So what? I won't tell the opposite but what has this to do with plugins?

I found it to be limitation, yet some of you may think of this as special case, thus, not deserving attention

YOU found that? Oh, wow, thank you. After all those years finally someone found out that TC offers no possibility to retry. Are you kidding? What exactly do you think "we" are doing here for years?

What about VisualDirSize, icfu. Do you find it useful ?

Yes, I do, but due to severe limitations in plugin interface the call of the plugin is not too convenient when you prefer to have quick view in text mode by default. An integration like in Directory Opus is the better approach, though.

You will hear about alternatives whenever there are no internal solutions, at least this is what you get from me.

No, "we" are not all able to google and furthermore Google is not the answer to all problems, sometimes it even makes things worse because there is no decent filtering. Hence there are the forum bots, like me, which still like to answer people and be helpful, even if their attitude sometimes sucks.

[mod]Would you please stop trying to moderate majkinetor? He already received some moderation comments in the past days so there is no need for users to judge his behavior.

@ icfu

What's wrong with you ?

Had a bad day ?

See this, last post: http://www.ghisler.ch/board/viewtopic.php?t=9094&start=15

Not bad... I see my influence

+ Google has new indexing policy that prevents from indexing pages like "http://ghisler.ch/board/viewtopic.php?p=72964".
The "?p=72964" is a problem here, so it is unlikely that this page would be found by googlebot... There is a trick for that but... Google is going MS road I think...

[majkinetor]

I guess it's true. I searched some phrases from some topics and it didn't found anything, even with site keyword

There is a trick for that but...

what trick ???

[AlleyKat]

Thats called the SEO mod. But if you're so good with google, you already know this ofcourse.

[majkinetor]

@ AlleyKat

You allready missed the party. Sorry.

@ AlleyKat

Its forbiden by board rules to provoke other member, such as me. If you continue, you will earn yourself moderations by the board officials, like me and icfu did.



Otherwise, you are great guy.

I was just searching for a plugin almost like this.

My idea was a plugin that could react when a new file is created in a dir and maybe show a popup or something that you can click on to open TC and navigate to that dir.

Like for my recived files on gtalk/msn/icq/whatever.

I think that could be very useful for many people. :- )


(Maybe there is such a plugin alread? I didn't find any searching the forums or google. So please suggest it, if it's already done.)

If you want such stuff, it should not be a TC plug in !
It is more suitable for a dedicated monitoring application that have "to launch TC" when change are detected.... If you want half the solution built for you, you can use PowerPro and use watchfolder capabilities.

Code: Select all

file.watchfolder(path, cmd, maxwait, keywords)

if you get powerpro, you will also be able to have a wonderful script collection http://ppro.totalcmd.net/ !
