A new Experimental feature that probably only I myself have used for is ** Scriptable Columns. **
You can now create a MultiScript that will be used to get what should be shown in a column in the file list.
Add configure Scriptable filepropertys go to Column Customization (Right click on column header)
then at the side of the available columns. there is a script button.
Use this button to create a new file property (column) and connect it with a MultiScript.
Right now there is NO RESTRICTION on what the MultiScript can do when it runs for getting Column text.
But the script will be run for EACH folder and files in the file list where the column is shown.
So, if you have a MultiScript that execute an external program. this program will be executed for all items.
And that is probably not a good idea.. So be careful what script you connect.
When connect a Column with a MultiScript you select what input and output variables in the script it should use.
The Input variable in the variable that will be added with the value of the full path to the file.
Output variable it the variable that the result will be stored in.
To be able to create and debug the script easier.
You check now check if a variable exists, and if not it can be added.
This way. You can easy test the script in ther MultiScript Debugger.
Example of script that will just show the file extension in a column.
if(IsVariableDefined("$_FILEPROP_FILEPATH") == 0)
{
@var $_FILEPROP_FILEPATH = GetTargetFocusPath();
}
@var $ext = PathGetFileExtPart($_FILEPROP_FILEPATH);
@var $_FILEPROP_DISPLAYNAME = $ext;
So to test this.
* Create new MultiScript and paste in the code above. And save it
* Go to Customize columns (right click on column header)
* Click on Script button to add/edit Scritable columns
* Click New. and then select the script you created, set Name and save.. then close.
* The new column should now be shown in the list. You can filter on Scriptible and you find it easier.
* Add the new column to current layout
Save and close Window
File Operation Error Handing
File operations error handing have been totally changed.. You can now configure how File Already exists error should be handle.. (Overwrite options)
and you can also configure how Protected Files should be handle.. (Files with Hidden / System or ReadOnly file attributes.)
Other errors are not auto handled. but you can enable to skip error. then it will skip when other errors happened.
And if Show Result is enabled you get a dialog showing what errors happened and how they was handle..
The thing is that MC support many different types of FileOperation.. File normal device to normal device, To virtual device, To network, To FTP and so on.
So many different situation and I'm not sure all of them work with the auto handle and auto skip on error.
So please report any issue you see.
