MultiScript functions

Code: [Select]

 <1/2> TabActivePanelSide(); // 1 left / top , 2, right / bottom
TabActivePanelSide(<int/string> side ); 
<int> TabActiveTab( <int/string> side);  // return tab in panel that is active
 TabActiveTab( <int/string> side, int tabIdx );  // set tab in panel side as active
<int> TabCount(  <int/string> side ); // return the number of tab a panel side have
<string> TabGetPath(  <int/string> side, int tabIdx); // return the path of a tab IF that tab has a explorer panel, else empty string is returned
TabLoadTabSession( <string> nameOrID ); // load tab session

When providing side parameter it can be    1 = Left, 2 = Right , "right", "left", "top", "bottom", "target", "source" , "active" "inactive"

However. Be aware that this functions will require the UI to update, and while the script it running the UI will not update.
This is because the script is running on the same thread. So This function should be used with care. Depending on what you do after running this command. Some other command might fail. or not work as expected.

** Know issue **
- SkipEmptyFolder do not work for ALL kind of extended volumes. some FTP location support it some not.
And when unpacking from archives it is only support for some archives. and only when unpacking using Copy method. not Unpack

Looking promising, Mathias.

But could you list the arguments and return values for the new MultiScript function to work with tabs, please?

Yes it is coming..

AlanJB · « **Reply #3 on:** March 22, 2018, 19:30:05 »

I have been patient... and it has come

(English saying: "Everything comes to he who waits "

)

Many thanks. I'll start testing.

Hi Mathias: some issues...

I am unclear as to what "TabActivePanelSide()" returns/does.

"TabActiveTab" is listed twice (once with 1 argument and once with 2).

Please update 7-zip lib to current version (18.01 at the moment)

It is actually on the list. However it is a bit of PITA since some API was changed..

AlanJB · « **Reply #8 on:** March 24, 2018, 19:09:55 »

I cannot get

Quote

TabActiveTab( <int/string> side, int tabIdx );

to do anything at all $:-\$

Could you give an example, please?

side parameter can be 1 = Left, 2 = Right , "right", "left", "top", "bottom", "target", "source" , "active" "inactive"
idx is the index position of a tab. starting at 0, 0 ,1,2,3 and so n

Code: [Select]

TabActiveTab( "left" , 1);

AlanJB · « **Reply #10 on:** March 25, 2018, 13:19:24 »

Thanks Mathias. Tried that; no result at all

My confusion is caused by these 2 lines in your post of March 21st:

Quote

<int> TabActiveTab( <int/string> side); // return tab in panel that is active
TabActiveTab( <int/string> side, int tabIdx ); // set tab in panel side as active

The 1st shows TabActiveTab( ) taking 1 argument and returning an <int>: this works as expected.

The 2nd shows TabActiveTab( ) taking 2 arguments and returning <what?>: this seems to do nothing.
For example, I woud expect TabActiveTab( 1,2 ); to set the 3rd tab in the left panel as active.

What am I missing?

Mathias (Author) · « **Reply #11 on:** March 25, 2018, 15:36:26 »

yes with only 1 parameter (side) it return what index is active

AlanJB · « **Reply #12 on:** March 25, 2018, 17:16:17 »

Sorry to seem stupid, Mathias, but with only 1 parameter (side) it works exactly as expected, but

does not set the 3rd tab in the left panel as active. Nothing happens at all $:-\$

Strange, works for me.
Hmm Might be that it was broken before. I done some other changes around there that might have fixed it. not sure

AlanJB · « **Reply #14 on:** March 25, 2018, 19:16:11 »

Thanks for all the replies

I'll retest after the next beta release. I can use these functions for lots of UDCs!

Issue with password protected 7-zip archives: if archive was created with "Encrypt file names" option, MC asks password 3 times while unpacking.

Yes I know.. but it is not that easy fix. problem is that 7zip api does not work well with the plugin architecture, But I got it on my list.. I will take a look again

AlanJB · « **Reply #17 on:** April 03, 2018, 14:19:17 »

Hi Mathias.

All MultiScript Tab... functions working as expected in Build 2437

Well done and thanks !

Mathias (Author) · « **Reply #18 on:** April 22, 2018, 15:34:47 »

If there are any minor bug or minor features (like functions for script) anyone would like to have added to the next version.. Ask me now. I will soon push out this as final none beta version
