I don't think I understand yet.
Is it that you want to be able to make shortcuts into all open Windows Explorer windows (except the one with files selected)? That might be possible.-ewemoa (June 21, 2010, 08:42 AM)

To clarify, all you want is something like a simple listview that you can add files to and have it show their size?-skwire (June 19, 2010, 10:55 PM)
Hi Contro. I'm not sure about this "predefined list of files".
SpaceSniffer and OverDisk are two personal faves, but sounds like you may want lists rather than graphical representations.
Have you tried any of the space analysis tools such as TreeSize Free or GetFoldersize which provide lists?
Sorry if I'm on the wrong track here--you might want to go over to Coding Snacks and ask for help.-sajman99 (June 19, 2010, 12:59 PM)

Compiled script uploaded.
- The file name is selected after it is created so you can easily rename it
- You can choose if you want the script to create text files or folders (text files are created by default - see the Config.txt file thats in the zip)
Sorry but I couldn't figure out a way to work with the desktop (wasn't sure how to detect if a file was or wasn't selected on the desktop)-Conquer (February 10, 2009, 03:29 PM)
IN the past I need environmental variables and have no utility because need to reiniate the system to take place.I use batch (.bat) files to set environment variables -- this way I do not need to restart my system (or log off and then on) to make adjustments.-Contro (June 11, 2010, 06:18 PM)
For example, I have done something similar to the following successfully:
1. Create a file named CreateShortcutsIn.bat in the same directory where CreateShortcutsIn.exe is located.
2. Put the following in the file named CreateShortcutsIn.bat:set MYCOMMONPATH=Documents and Settings\JOSE\Escritorio
set ONE=C:\%MYCOMMONPATH%
set TWO=D:\%MYCOMMONPATH%
set THREE=F:\%MYCOMMONPATH%
set FOUR=I:\%MYCOMMONPATH%
set FIVE=M:\%MYCOMMONPATH%
set SIX=N:\%MYCOMMONPATH%
start CreateShortcutsIn.exe
3. Put the following in CreateShortcutsIn.ini:Code: Text [Select]
[Settings] ; hotkey to bring up menu Hotkey=^+c ; destination locations (numbered starting at 1) to choose from ; absolute path 1=C:\ ; environment variable support 2=%TEMP% ; multiple locations, separate by | 3=C:\WINDOWS|C:\ ; hotkey for location(s) 4=^+d::C:\Documents and Settings 5=^+p::%ONE%|%TWO%|%THREE%|%FOUR%|%FIVE%|%SIX%
4. Use CreateShortcutsIn.bat (the batch file) to start the program (e.g. double-click its icon).
Does that sort of thing work for you?-ewemoa (June 11, 2010, 09:45 PM)
I would like to modificate the script CTRL+SHIFT+S to modify during the shortcut copy the comment in it.If there are multiple destination folders, do you want to specify a comment for each destination separately, or should all destinations use the same comment?-Contro (June 10, 2010, 08:29 AM)
Please provide an example.-ewemoa (June 12, 2010, 04:50 AM)

I took a look and examined:To follow the firefox addon for shortcutsThanks for the link. I intend to take a look.

I made an attempt at supporting a few things. Here's an example ini file:Code: Text [Select]
[Settings] ; hotkey to bring up menu Hotkey=^+c ; destination locations (numbered starting at 1) to choose from ; absolute path 1=C:\ ; environment variable support 2=%TEMP% ; multiple locations, separate by | 3=C:\WINDOWS|C:\ ; hotkey for location(s) 4=^+d::C:\Documents and Settings 5=^+p::%USERPROFILE%|%TEMP%
Now to explain what is different.
First, no need to specify Total= in settings any more. Just make sure to start at 1 and increase by 1 each time. (Lines 6-13).
Multiple destinations may be specified for a single menu item -- just separate them using the | character (sometimes called 'pipe' or 'vertical bar'). (Lines 10 and 13).
A menu item may have an associated hotkey -- using the hotkey the popup menu can be bypassed altogether. (Lines 12 and 13). (Put the hotkey string after the leftmost = on the line, and put two colons right after the hotkey string.)
If the earlier was code was still in-development, this is even more so

I don't have any significant experience getting AutoHotkey to work with Firefox. My guess is it is unlikely I would come up with anything useful in relation to Firefox any time soon.
With regard to the Windows Explorer one-to-many features I'm still considering and researching.-ewemoa (June 08, 2010, 03:35 AM)
