VFG - Virtual Folder Group
With VFG you can configuration can group 2 or more folders into a virtual folder that are accessed by VFG0: to VFG9:
What you see when you brose to the VFG0: is either the content of the folder that you configured as primary or an aggregation of all folders.
If it aggregate the contents it will not show duplicates.. If file 1.txt is located in folder1 and 2.txt is folder2  the VFG0: will show 1.txt and 2.txt

If you copy files FROM the VFG#: it will read the file from the Primary folder if the file is located there. else it will take the next one folder configured.
If you copy a file TO the VFG#: it will write the file to *ALL* locations that are configured as writeable.
If you delete a file it will be deleted from all locations in the group.

To configure it go to
Menu > Configuration > FileSystem Plugin Settings > "FS-Virtual Folder Groups"


Right now the error handling is not 100% correct.
So please report issues, when it fails, what you think is missing and so on. I really need you feedback if this is usable for you and want features around it you need.

If you show the shell context menu on a VFG item. YOu have a VFG submenu where you can see status and also sync file from primary to the other.

BTW.. VFG will also create its own Log Window so you can see exactly what it does..   Show log using Ctrl+L and there will popup a tab for the device when it is used

Thanks for the additional features Mathias. 

I think that the last update may have broken something in the MS execution. MC 15.6 b3110 x64 on Win11 24H2 b26100.4652
I get a ‘Cannot delete’ msg when attempting to delete or move files using my previously working scripts.
Stepping through in the debugger everything seems 100% until the delete command is reached, I tried with & without options & it always fails.
E.g.

Code: [Select]

@var $currentPath = GetSourcePath();
@var $Items = GetSourceItems(1);
@var $count = arrayCount($Items);
@var $curItem;
@var $fullFilename;
@var $array2[];

// Loop all items in the $Items array
for( $n = 0; $n < $count; $n++)
{
  $curItem = $Items[$n];
  $fullFilename = $currentPath ^ $curItem;
  @var $isMatch = StrIsRegExpMatchNoCase($fullFilename, "[a-z0-9]{30}");

  if($isMatch)
  {
      arrayAdd($array2, $curItem);
  }
}

@var $options[] = {"RECYCLE", "NODIALOG"};
DeleteFiles($array2, $options);
Breaks at last line with error msg (attached screenshot).

Any ideas?  Thanks!

Can you give me example on how filenames should be for the script to try to delete them ? so I can do some testing

[Ulfhednar]

Thanks for looking at this Mathias.
The names are 'random' so it can be things like:

• 16591096719370948hik1082696166279904.txt
• ak9735409sdf4059hfsifhisajxilh.JPG
• lfgkfgkfkjkffkkkiiiiiiiyhhufyiffkkkyuasydq.png

The extension is unimportant as I don't specify that, just a long [a-z0-9] string.

In the case of rename & move it fails at the delete line also.  The file is renamed (I used Jungles name as folder script & a move command which did work perfectly up to now), but it doesn't move the file.
It displays a cannot copy msg when reaching this line:-

Code: [Select]

MoveFile( $targetPath, $sourceFile, "NODIALOG");
See attached.
I assume it is related to the delete op as that is where it halts & move requires deletion, but as you can see this msg is showing 'copy'.  Maybe the options segment e.g. as NODIALOG is a common element?
Hopefully you will be able to see why...

Full script is

Code: [Select]

Log( 1, 10, "Renaming files to %%parent_folder_name%%[_N].*" );

@var $src_path = GetSourcePath();
@var $arr = PathGetParts( $src_path );
@var $name = $arr[0];
@var $prefix = StrReplace( PathGetPathPart( $src_path, 1 ), $name, "" );

@var $n = StrRFind( $prefix, "\\" );

if ( $n > 0 )
{
  $prefix = StrSub( $prefix, $n + 1, StrLen( $prefix ) - $n - 1 );

  @var $i;
  @var $s;
  @var $file;
  @var $files;

  $arr = GetSourceSelectedPaths();

  for ( $i = 0; $i < arrayCount( $arr ); $i++ )
  {
    $file = $arr[$i];
    $s = PathGetFileExtPart( $file );
    $name = $prefix + "*" + $s;

    $files = FindFiles( $src_path + $name );
    $n = arrayCount( $files );

    if ( $n == 0 )
    {
      $s = "";
    }
    else
    {
      if ( $n == 1 )
      {
        $s = $files[0]; 
        RenameFile( $s, StrReplace( $name, "*", "_0" ), "RENAME_RO" );
      }

      $s = "_" + numtostr( $n );
    }           

    RenameFile( $file, StrReplace( $name, "*", $s ), "RENAME_RO" );
  }
}
else
{
  Log( 1, 10, "It seems parent folder is root. Renaming impossible." );
}

// move

@var $arr1 = GetSourceSelectedPaths();
@var $items1 = arrayCount($arr1);
@var $MoveNameFullPath;
@var $targetPath;
@var $sourceFile;
@var $n1 = 0;

for( $n1 = 0; $n1 < $items1; $n1++ )
{
  $MoveNameFullPath = $arr1[ $n1 ];
  $targetPath = GetTargetPath();
  $sourceFile = $MoveNameFullPath;
 
  MoveFile( $targetPath, $sourceFile, "NODIALOG");
 
}

Thanks for the fix Mathias!

Thanks for the new RC Mathias!

Audio-tool merge mp3 files is only available via MC menu/extra/auto tools - not via context menu?

I did not think about adding it there. Will see if that is possible.
