General Software Discussion / Re: Dopus - adding buttons to toolbar help needed
« Last post by Darwin on October 12, 2008, 09:20 AM »
So... I guess the question is: does this work in Dopus 8? I'm running Dopus 9 on this machine. I'll fire up my Win2k machine (which has Dopus 8 installed) and check it out...

Thanks, edbro. I've been searching the help file and the Dopus forum for this info and couldn't find it. FWIW - I no longer had the xml code in clipboard this morning when I tried it, which is why I no longer got the "paste" option.

EDIT: this experience just underscores that I need to start keeping a diary/journal/log about installing and customizing software! Once I get my apps set up I leave them alone and years later can't remember what/how I did it  :o :-[

To paste an xml file as a button all you need to do is right click on a toolbar and select "Customize". Then, right click again and "Paste". 

edbro - we both tried that. When I enter customize "mode" and then right click again, there is no "paste" option  :(

At any rate, you are right: the Dopus forums are a great resource - I'll check this out over there.

Yep, all "the junk" is, I assume, to allow for pasting straight to the toolbar.

Heh, heh - except it doesn't work!

I abandoned that, and, following your idea, I've got it mostly working.

Glad you got it working - sorry it was such a tortuous route! I should really keep a diary so that I don't have to start from scratch overtime I install software (or try to help someone else)!

What's not working still?

You don't need the extra stuff in the "advanced" pull down part. Mine simply has

C:\Program Files\TeraCopy\TeraCopy.exe Copy {allfilepath|filem} {destpath}

Here's a screenshot:

Crumb! You're right! I did this about a year ago and had completely forgotten about it (I should have actually Clicked that button I directed you to, but didn't want to duplicate the buttons in Dopus... Sigh... I needn't have worried). I'm trying to recreate my steps now... I remember this now because the instructions aren't clear. Each line enclosed by <> refrers to an instruction to be pasted into a corresponding line in the edit dialog for the new button. Here's what my Copy (with Teracopy) buttons edit dialog looks like:

This should give you an idea of how to set these up. Sorry I didn't pay more attention earlier  :-[

Teracopy adds its own buttons into Dopus. Open up Teracopy via the start menu, click on "More" (this will expand the window) then click on "Menu" and select "Options". You should see "Directory Opus" in the lower part of the dialog that appears. This will add two buttons to your toolbar, one for copying and the other for moving files.

Does this acheive what you're after, or have I missed the point? Hope it helps!

I usually open up the customize menu (right click on the toolbar and select "customize") then select a command from the Commands tab. I usually find what I need there; if I do not I edit an existing button after the fact. Note that all you need to do is drag the button and drop it whereever you want it on the toolbar...

What function are you trying to add?

Hmm... just took a look at the proper webpage for Data Extractor and noticed that there is a users forum. Right, off to have a read. BTW, most of the description on the webpage makes this sound to me like a GREP tool...

one thing that does make me "wonder" sometimes:

<b>what is the internal experience of other animals, i.e. what the hell is it like to be a spider let alone something like a dog</b>

that is something i would genuinely like to know.

I hear you... I often wonder if my perception of reality is the same as, or at least similar to, that of my wife/child/friend/neighbour/a pig farmer in PNG...

I'm not happy with my choice of "perception of reality", but I can't think of a better way of putting it at the moment (experience of the world? Sensory feedback - is red to me red to them?).

There are a bunch of 3rd party apps to do this... Here's a DC discussion about doing this: soft and hard links in ntfs

Easy enough to *bump* a review without *bumping* it... Just drop in to post a question: "What did people think of my review" or "Has anyone tried this application? What are you experiences, four months on". I'm sure that's more or less what zero3k was after - some further feedback.

Allen, that is a nightmare story! After you AINOP story, you'll excuse me if I refuse to shake your hand should we ever meet! Don't want any bad luck to rub off on me  :o

IMHO NortonUAC is a bad idea, but I already wrote about it in the other thread.

Agreed - I was hoping Curt would read the thread!

The only thing I can think of, and I've no idea if it would work, would be to use FreeCommander to create and populate a virtual folder THEN create a normal folder in which you create hard links to the files in the virtual folder. This *should*, then, be accessible with Windows Explorer and a open dialog (I think?!).

Just a thought.

Thanks for posting the question, patteo - I came over here to do the same thing. I'm wondering about this, too, but can't find any reviews via Google.
2092
This forum post, suggests that FreeCommander is getting (or has) this feature as well.
2093
DOpus features "flat-view" which does this...

I am a bit trusting though and hope that companies will work to retain customers.

Well... in fairness, while I think that the customer service at myh cell phone carrier is shocking, they've yet to come close to the loathsome, horrible service you experienced (or that Allen experienced with his ISP). So, I guess I should say that my experience has been more that customer service has been frustrating but that my issues have all been resolved without any real drama.

Because from my perspective, the nature of the question makes the topic having taken a humorous turn inevitable.

No argument there! I just focused on the religious aspect of Chris' comments...

XP Pro in classic mode with the Theme service disabled is a fine operating system, IMNHO! I'm finally immersing myself in Vista as well (after owning the notebook for two months!). I'm still loving it! Wonder how f0dder is making out...

I've found that most services that require a multi-year contract don't have very good customer service. After all, they basically trapped you when you first signed up. They don't need to worry about keeping you, since if you leave they can just charge you exorbitant cancellation fees.

Excellent point, and pretty much my experience as well.
