v7.60.0008 - 2008-09-14 21:28

  • + Scripting got a new command:
      - Assert
        Action: Interrupt processing on certain conditions.
        Syntax: assert condition, [message], [continue=0]
        condition: [required] any expression that evaluates
                   to True or False
        message:   [optional] message that's displayed if
                   condition evaluates to False
        continue:  [optional] set to 1 to allow continuing the
          script after displaying the message; else the "Continue"
          button is disabled; default is 0
      Usage: This is mainly a debugging feature to interrupt
        processing on certain conditions. If the condition evaluates
        to True the program flow is not interrupted, otherwise you are
        notified and can investigate what went wrong and decide
        whether to continue and cancel (if continue=1). So, "assert"
        can be very useful to keep your scripts under some control.
        Apart from debugging you may use it to check (continue=1) or
        enforce (continue=0) critical preconditions for your scripts
        to run successfully.
      Examples:
        ::$a="A"; assert $a=="A", '$a has wrong value!'
          = no message (condition is True)
        ::$a="A"; assert $a=="B", '$a has wrong value!', 1
          = message (condition is False)
        ::$a="A"; assert $a=="B", '$a has wrong value!', 0
          = message (condition is False) and no option to continue
        ::getinfo $count, "CountSelected";
          assert $count!=0,
          "You must select a file before running this script!"
          = if no files are selected: message
  • * Scripting | Step dialog: Improved coloring in the bottom list to better distinguish spaces from nothing. Also made it wider.
  • ! SC "download" needed extra refresh to actually display the downloaded file if the target folder was the current one. Done.
  • ! Scripting, ternary conditional: The following examples were not parsed correctly for various reasons:
      ::msg "Good "."12" <=<date>? "afternoon": "morning"."!";
      ::?regexreplace $name, "some name [ETA: 12-2008]",
        "^(.+?) \[ETA: .+$", "$1";
    Fixed.
