The plugin doesn't work as expected on my system though unless I assign something (anything, that is) to aliasstr.-phitsc (December 15, 2008, 04:42 PM)
This reminded my of the problem I had when I was working on my (never released) OpenWith plugin. The onSearchBegins function was never called because I had left the default alias empty (because the plugin didn't need an alias). Maybe it's the same with onProcessTrigger?
Anyway, speaking of my never released OpenWith plugin. I think we've already concluded that the OpenWith plugin and your Akete plugin are similar.
Maybe it would be a good idea to extend your Akete plugin to allow definition of "open with" keywords (using FARR's +keyword syntax) to launch files having the same file extension with different applications (what the OpenWith plugin does). I imagine something like this:
[Akete]
pdf=D:\Apps\SumatraPDF.exe
OpenWithNpp=C:\Program Files\Notepad++\Notepad++.exe
and Akete not only launching .pdf files but also something like this: c:\My cool project\Config.xml +OpenWithNpp
IIUC there isn't an easy way to programmatically enumerate the names of variables in User Variables (yet).
i can add this easily in the new version to be released this week.-mouser (December 15, 2008, 11:12 PM)
I suppose I could put 2 links in the first post...better!
First, I'd like to see a simple way to turn it on and off, so when I wanted to use my own machine's associations, I could.-raybeere (January 09, 2009, 04:21 PM)
Two other nice features would help out, a lot. One would be a chance to specify two options, by keyword, such as Open and Edit. I think the point there should be pretty clear.
The other one is a workaround for a particular program I use, Liquid Story Binder XE. It is a great writing program, but it has one quirk. All files are arranged in a "library" by "book" - each book is a folder under one user-specified folder for the library. Each book actually contains a whole set of files. So, to open a "book" in LSB, you have to run LSB with the book's folder specified in the command line or shortcut. Is there any way to let the user specify such behaviour? (Open X app with the path of the selected file specified, but strip away the filename...)
As to the keywords that begin with "openwith", I chose this based on phitsc's example and am not particularly attached to it -- except that if it's changed, I guess trying to maintain backward compatibility might be something to consider.And neither am I. Wouldn't give me a lot of work if you changed it. I'm no big fan of abbreviations though, so I still think openwithnpp would be clearer than something like e.g. ownpp.-ewemoa (January 14, 2009, 06:38 AM)
I think I'll go with a default of "with" as the prefix, provide a way to change the prefix, and leverage any existing file extension association configuration so that it may be used with a keyword (e.g. if you have an association defined for 'html', then the plugin should recognize the keyword 'withhtml').sounds good to me.-ewemoa (January 15, 2009, 08:38 AM)
it could be a completely different plugin with no connection whatsoever-nitrix-ud (February 19, 2009, 08:34 AM)
i will not ask for a refund if it creates some after effects ;)
with the Akete.folders ;) plugin i just do :
so my suggestion is : if you do it, do it any way you see fit :D
if AketeFolder plugin was first then the same questions about precedence would have arised with Akete plugin :DMy leaning on this issue so far has been not to do a separate plugin -- it may have seemed like it because of the configuration example, but actually that configuration example would work fine from a suitably modified Akete plugin.-nitrix-ud (March 13, 2009, 03:33 AM)
with an hyper complex filtering system where you could see things like :
(if the extension of the file is xxx
AND
if the file is in Folder yyyy
AND
file has been modified within zz hours)
then open with notepad++
as i said i would be very happy with a plugin that does not try to handle precedence-nitrix-ud (March 13, 2009, 07:22 PM)
(3) When using Akete association, two launching processes seem run redundantly, one via Akete and another via the default association; e.g. when I launch a text file having extension 'txt', both the text editor associated to the extension 'txt' by Akete and a notepad via default file association open the file, respectively.-komtak (February 04, 2012, 09:46 PM)
I have also found that the correction for the problem (2) in my patch, Akete-diff-1.0.1.8-1.0.1.8a.txt, does not work properly. I am trying to fix it, but the behavior of Windows shortcuts seems rather complicated to me. (I have to study more...)-komtak (February 19, 2012, 01:31 AM)
