- + Scripting got a new command.
Name: copyas
Action: Copies item(s) under a pattern-based name.
Syntax: copyas [pattern], [targetpath], [itemlist]
pattern = Name pattern where
* stands for the file base, and
? stands for the file extension (without dot).
Variables are allowed.
If empty then you get prompted.
targetpath = Path to copy the items to;
If empty then the current list path is used.
itemlist = -separated list of items (full path) to copy.
If empty then the current list selections are
copied.
Number suffixes are appended as needed to avoid collisions.
Examples:
- Copies all selected items to the current list path under the
name ["Copy" + original Extension]:
::copyas "Copy.?"
- (see description in next section below):
::copyas "*_backup_.?";
- Same as doing menu File Duplicate Copy Here As...:
::copyas
- Copies all selected items to D:\ under their original name.
::copyas "*.?", "D:\"
- Copies two specific files to D:\ under a pattern-based name.
::copyas "*- copy.?", "D:\", "E:\Test\alpha.pngE:\Test\beta.png"; - + Copy Here As..., Move Here As...: Now you can state a wildcard pattern and variables to define the target names of the operation.
Wildcard * stands for the file base.
Wildcard ? stands for the file extension (without dot).
For example, the pattern
*_backup_<date yyyymmdd>.?
applied to files
motherearth.txt
funlicker.jpg
would create copies named
motherearth_backup_20100117.txt
funlicker_backup_20100117.jpg
in the same folder.
If you'd do the same thing again on the same day the following copies would be created:
motherearth_backup_20100117-01.txt
funlicker_backup_20100117-01.jpg
FYI, the format of the number suffix is defined in Configuration | Templates. - * Configuration | Previewed Formats: Removed these checkboxes
- Automatically show non-previewed file types
using the shell
- Automatically show non-previewed file types
in ASCII/Hex mode (Raw View)
Reason: They proved to be too confusing. The settings continue to exist as tweaks. They are reset to factory defaults when upgrading to this beta version or later:
[Settings]
PreviewShellIfNoneBetter=1
PreviewRawIfNoneBetter=0 - % Made app exit more robust against missing folders or rights.
