Load file content to clipboard

[pncdaspropagandas]

In my PC, if I try to use the internal function to load file content to clipboard on a rather large file, MC hangs. So I created a script that decides when to use the built in function and when to use clip.exe

MC Script:
@var $focused_file = GetSourceFocusPath();
@var $focused_file_size = GetFileSize($focused_file);
@var $mcinstallpath = GetTagValue("${mcinstallpath}");

// MultiCommander doesn't support files bigger than ???KB, so we have to use window's clip.exe program
if ($focused_file_size > 307200)
{
   //LogAppInfo('C:\Windows\System32\wscript.exe "'  + $mcinstallpath ^ '\Tools\run_invisible\run_invisible_bat_1_arg.vbs" "' + $mcinstallpath ^ '\Tools\run_invisible\load_file_content_to_clipboard.bat" "' + $focused_file + '"');
   MC.Run CMD={'C:\Windows\System32\wscript.exe'} ARG={'"' + $mcinstallpath ^ '\Tools\run_invisible\run_invisible_bat_1_arg.vbs" "' + $mcinstallpath ^ '\Tools\run_invisible\load_file_content_to_clipboard.bat" "' + $focused_file + '"'}
}
else
{
   @var $focused_file_content = LoadStringFromFile($focused_file);
   SetClipboardText($focused_file_content);
}

run_invisible_bat_1_arg.vbs
Dim WshShell
Set WshShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
'MsgBox(WScript.Arguments(0))
WshShell.Run """" & WScript.Arguments(0) & """ """ & WScript.Arguments(1) & """",0,true

load_file_content_to_clipboard.bat
clip < %1


The reason to use a bat file instead of just running clip < %1 is that when you execute a command line with no visible cmd, the stdout doen't work.

That work for unicode data. but if the program that you paste into only reads the ascii clipboard it is not set. since there is some limit in a external lib. I can probably fix that with a workaround

True indeed!

Script function fixed in newest beta.. (2672+)

Also Menu > Tools > ToClipboard > File Content as Text
Is now enabled. (it was disabled before because of some crash issue..  now fixed)
