This problem is still there with build 1490...
Well, the Windows Registry is probably a plugin too and the CTRL-P works fine there.
Hello,
I sending many files to people through FTP and use to copy the url of the file(s) into a mail that I sent to the people waiting for those files.
The CTRL-P shortcut (and associated) do not work for FTP files.
It copies: 0:\folder1\folder2\file1.ext
Instead of: ftp://login@ftp.server.com/folder1/folder2/file1.ext
Or better (in my case): ftp://login:password@ftp.server.com/folder1/folder2/file1.ext
Can you implement one of those ?
I repeat my question: Is there any way I can help your devlopement ?
I guess using Java would increase functionality, & might increase your script user base if it has a common basis of commands & syntax.
I personally find java apps don't run well on my system. Not sure why. Java is present & says 100% but...
I can put the same app in a VM & it will run fine.
Most common answer I hear is that it is AV related - if so how would the AV react to a java-based MC scripting engine?
)I did a tiny bit of C++ years ago. I expect a lot has changed. I didn't do enough to remember much.MC is built around a plugin/extension architecture. Everything in MC is almost an plugin. (MultiRename, Checksum, Zip, Rar
I would quite like to try it again - time permitting.
What kind of things would you describe as plug-ins or extensions? If I want to attempt that I would need some guidelines to avoid major disasters!
Going OT -I build the script engine my self from scratch.. From the beginning it was only meant to be something simple to execute multiple program and with very limited features. Like a simple .bat script engine but that could connect to MC.
When you designed MC script what did you use? Did you take an existing code library or did you write it directly to hardware code? (Maybe this is a big question?)
To me, a scripting language seems very ambitious, but also a great way to make something you can tailor to your needs.
I think that dynamic is why I am starting to get more from MC - I can tailor things instead of looking for a tool that may do what I want.
I think you're right about the UI.Using the "CustomCommands" you can set some part of the UI. Even if you used them in MultiScript.
My idea will be best handled by MCs own tools, so I will need to study the MC.<command> features more closely. That could give me some great automation.
e.g. I like the ability to load the explorer panel filter via a button - "MC.Explorer.SetViewFilter" - is very useful.
So I need to play with the other commands.
I think that the ideas I had clash between using MC script & taking over parts of the MC UI environment.
I am not 100% sure of boundaries yet.
I can see DOS .bat type script is cumbersome/weak compared to the MC script, & that the script is out classed by C++ MFC.I was more thinking that you can write stuff in .bat script but you do not change the UI of Window Explorer or other programs from .bat script
I noticed on the 1481 update today that array processing by functions has changed. If I understand this correctly it looks like scripting will be quicker & easier.That was only a bug fix when inilizing array using single quote characters instead of double.
I am finding using findfiles for files inside a selected folder difficult. I can't figure out how to make it search & select inside the selected folder. That said, itNot sure what you mean with select. I think that you might try to use script for controlling the UI?
