Redirections in wincmd.ini are not handled correctly (if at all)

...After a loo...oong time I made a few modifications to WdxInfoPacker.
I haven't release it yet, ....

Hello Franck

after a loo...oong time I have to ask two thinks:

a) release of modification:
On totalcmd.net is still the version from 2008. What´s about an update?

b) starting of BAT-files:
At the moment I create many batch-files. I have to create them AND to start them later - two steps to do, sometimes annoying.

Is there a way to create and start them immediately, so that that batch is done instantly?

Regards

Peter

I'll try to see what can be done after my vacation...
Expect something in end of november...

b) The easiest way would be (at first glance) to modify/extend copyInfo2Clip ...is that ok for you ?

5 weeks holidays? Not so bad....

I don't know. Some times ago I tried it, but now I use only the WDX - creating scripts, CSV-lists and BAT and so I am out of practice with the EXE.

At the moment I think an option would be fine: "Start the output-file after its creation? yes/no"

This would start the editor with TXT, Excel with CSV and batch with BAT. Is it possible?

5 weeks holidays? Not so bad....

I'll have 2 weeks of vacation in 1.5 week so I haven't the time to do it before that (with correct testing)

This would start the editor with TXT, Excel with CSV and batch with BAT. Is it possible?

I'll see that when I start the modification...

[Peter]

OK, fine, thanks. I will wait.

Did you have any problems with the mail version?

Hello Franck

well recreated after holidays?

I made only few tests (I have to test more until christmas), but it seem to work fine.

The only problem seem to be a time-problem, because with "create single file per file" WdxInfoPacker creates i.e. 10 batches per second and every batch takes 3 seconds to finish. And every new batch uses the EXE which is still used by the previous batch.

It will work if I create and start a batch with 500 lines; but it makes problems if I create and start 500 batches with 1 line.

This is not a problem of th e software (not a bug), but a problem of my idea to start the batches. I don't know if it is better to add a "sleep / wait" feature - or maybe to cancel the idea ...

Regards

Hello Franck

"never change a running system" But if they are old and no more supported it is unavoidable.

Long prologue, short question:
I used the Shell extension "CadXplorer" for some years to handle the contents of AutoCAD-DWG-files, and WDXInfoPacker and Shelldetails worked fine. Now I have to replace it with "DWG Column Handler" from JTB World
http://www.jtbworld.com/dwg-explorer-column-handler.htm
, and the first results are:

- "Shelldetails" and MS Explorer works fine with the new tool.
- WDXInfopacker does not ...

I don't know why but at the moment the main problem for me is that the "+"-button in line 5 is not active, so I can not see which fileds are offered by the system.

Do you know the reason why?

Regards

Peter

Hi,
Your OS is still Xp ? ; any change in WdxInfoPacker.ini? (path valid in PluginList ) ?

I managed to have the + button working under Win 7 64 by changing the compatibility mode (something related to the way plugins are loaded I think)

Bonsoir Franck

I don't know why but at the moment the main problem for me is that the "+"-button in line 5 is not active

I have to be more precisely:
a) Today it was inactive the most time. Only a short moment when I created a new template and imported from WinCMD.ini is was enabled. But after the first editing of a definition it became disabled.

b) The new shell-extension has configurable captions. For example when you deal with "keywords" of the DWG you can use a TXT file to change the words which are displayed, e.g.

Code: Select all

"Keywords" = [Stichworte]
"Comments" = [Kommentare]

I used this feature to define the new software like the old one and changed the standard-definition

Code: Select all

from
"Version" = [DWG Version]
to
"Version" = [AutoCAD Version]

Shelldetails and MS Explorer use the new definition without problems.

Your OS is still Xp ?

Yes.

... any change in WdxInfoPacker.ini? (path valid in PluginList ) ?

No. It works fine with all other plugins, and there was no change in plugins.

Interim Report:

I removed all me Shelldetails- and WDXInfopacker-settings and started from scratch.

Main problem: Every time when ...
- I enter the WDX-config-dialogue and click something (a tab ..)
- and go back to TC-pack-dialogue (no matter if I use cancel or OK),
- the next command on TC-pack-dialogue (OK or Cancel) crashes TC completely with "Access violation", "Write denied" or without any message.

But when I start "Alt+F5" and press OK (using the existing settings) it seems to work.

To be continued.
