Find Files plugins (suggestion): possible to have some rules permanent

Post by *Commander238 »

Hi,
I have a suggestion regarding the Att-F7 "Find Files" dialog and its Plugins tab.
I know I can add several custom search rules there.
Is it possible, for TC, to have some of the rules permanent? I need to use some of them frequently and it is inconvenient to add them every time again.
It would be sufficient for me, if there was an option in wincmd.ini, which would define the default rules. Those would be always present and I could just tick the checkbox to enable them.

There is another place, where I miss the same feature: the File Attributes dialog - for example, I would like to have the file creation time always visible.

Please make it possible to have some rules permanent.

Save your frequently used search as a e.g. "Search1"
Then define new user command or just add text from code to USERCMD.INI in TC directory

Code: Select all

[em_search]
button=WCMICON2.DLL,27
cmd=LOADSEARCH
param=Search1

[em_atrribtimes]
button=WCMICON2.DLL,33
cmd=OPENATTRIBUTES
param=+L +dDate +tTime Times1

Second command is for load "Change Attributes" window with datetime field open, active and filled with properties from file under cursor
You need also add text from this code to your WINCMD.INI under [attrplugin] section

Code: Select all

[attrplugin]
Times1=tc.creationdate := "" | tc.writedate := ""
Now you can use these commands from button or define hotkeys for quick launch.
