1.0.17 is out!

I've added date variables support for snippets :)

There is also "Match simple URLs" option added for showing URL addresses as clickable links in preview even if there is no matching tag (url or email) written. I did it because some BB engines do not need tags for them at all!

The shortcut: I discovered that CRTL+ALT+SPACE works just fine as things are now
-cranioscopical (June 06, 2009, 05:08 PM)

I am glad it works but I was not aware it can work this way  :o

It works because I am checking for Ctrl+Space without disabling other special keys (like Alt or Shift). Since it suits your need I can leave it as it is.

Do you have any wishes for variables support? I thought about adding dates in similar way as file name pattern (though it might need some fixes).

I've implemented dates support and it will be released with next version.

Which shortcut do you propose?

BTW Try this use case:
1. Ctrl+Space to show list,
2. choose proper item using arrows,
3. hit Enter key.

Currently, it works with keyboard only but I plan to add mouse clicks handling later.

I think you could misunderstood "Ctrl+Enter" case which applies for Settings window only.

New version (1.0.16) is out!

I've fixed small bugs with lists in Settings window.

I have also added "Snippets" feature (activated on Ctrl+Space).

Please remember: if you want to have mullti-line snippet, you can jump to new line using Ctrl+Enter. Simple Enter closes Settings window!

Which control do you have in mind? "Text being checked"?
Would following font set for editor be enough for you?

If yes, I'll see what can I do.

Thank you for your report.

This bug is strange because there is the same part of code responsible for adding tags via buttons and shortcuts (at least for the simplest ones like b, i, tt). It looks like RichTextBox control error with Ctrl+I shortcut: it always inserts additional \t (tab) character!

I will try to find solution :)

Edit:

I will post fixed version later today.

Solution
And for people who might be interested in fix:
Code: C# [Select]
  1. private void codeTB_KeyDown( object sender, KeyEventArgs e )
  2. {
  3.         ...
  4.         if (e.Control)
  5.         {
  6.                 ...
  7.                 if (e.KeyCode == Keys.I)
  8.                 {
  9.                         e.Handled = true;
  10.                         e.SuppressKeyPress = true;
  11.                         //do what you want here
  12.                 }
  13.         }
  14.         ...
  15. }

Heh. Mine is pretty lame, I can say…

Back in the past, during studies, I had thought that having nice logo (and name) in "About" dialogues for applications I had to code would be really cool so I decided to create one by my own. I took one of my friend's tattoo sketches which I liked and chose "fenix" because of mythology fascinations.

Final work looked like:

logo1.png

Of course, that was in dark times of middle ages (no Internet those days).

When an Internet has been connected to me I needed recognizable nickname which could not reveal my real name. I've never liked to share it with public. I wanted to use "fenix" but due to being late with on-line activity, all fenixes were occupied anywhere I went (newsgroups, e-mail addresses, etc.). Getting something like fenix434 or fenix5345 was out of question! I decided to put it altogether and that is how fenixproductions was born. Surprisingly: it was unique everywhere!

Coming here and using such nickname is just being consistent and keeping virtual personality unchanged. That way you can be sure that if you find my nick somewhere (and see the same avatar) it will be me :)

The only thing you can do is to ask file manager author to add support for it. Plugins authors can do nothing because plugins know nothing about sorting. In most of the cases they get single file name only. Some plugins (Imagine) might have their own next/previous file features but they are not relying on filemanager at all in such case. The only improvement we can get is to have next/previous support in their "parent" (in TC: it is lister which calls plugs). And we're back to the beginning and bothering an author of our favourite file manager (TC, DO, XY and so on).

Thank you for this info. I will try to play with it little more.

BTW I thought I've never used just Control while dealing with "my stuff".

I've been trying to create plugin for displaying partitions size information in "battery like style". I had custom control as main one and smaller one for specified disk. Idea was simple: main control reads INI and, according to it, adds as many batteries as needed. It looked nice for fixed number of drives but I had either unknown errors (TopBar was just switching off without any notice) or "Cannot cast UserControl to Control". There were few more problems when I've wanted to add Timer support to have everything refreshed periodically. I gave up for time being but will try again some day for sure.

I know the problem is not in WPF but in my mind. As far as I understand, such coding attitude is not good for WPF. I should rather create something similar to list and use data binding instead but it means starting with WPF from the very beginning and learning the basics again. Currently: it scares me to do it all over again ;)

Maybe I will focus on writing down all ideas first but I am not sure about that*.

*) OT: My graphic card probably died today. There is the risk that it is OK and mother board is going down instead. Second scenario seems more plausible due to USB port issues (died too) from 3 months ago. What does it mean? If I am right, there is a chance to disappear for couple months from here any time :( I am using integrated GeForce 6100 currently but I have no possibility to figure out what is wrong and I fear the worst.

I've tried to create something by my own but switching from WinForms to WPF is little painful to me (especially creating own controls with PictureBox). Do you have some links you can recommend?

I know Google might have them but currently my thinking process is too much "WF related" so writing anything looks more like "hunt for bugs" instead of fun :( I have many ideas but I am getting impatient too soon with these problems.

EOT - End of Topic or End Off-Topic.

I have too strong Usenet roots I can't get rid off ;)

Second thing: it does not solve sorting order problems but having it as Lister plugin I can, at least, limit images sets to marked entries only.

I am using them for two purposes:

1. short notes / tags about files / directories.

Sometimes I just need to describe what are files about. Of course, I can create readme.txt for them but it's easier to me to use descript.ion for this purpose (it is some kind of standard).

2. files and folders colouring.

Total Commander allows me to define different colours for resources according to rules like: attributes or description. That way I can visually "prioritize" my folders. It is simple for me: all I need is to define that each file / folder with $work1$ phrase in comments should be shown in red and $work2$ in orange. That way I can find files I've been looking for right away after coming into folder, especially when they have similar names.

I will decide who will receive my part of keys (5 of them) on Tuesday or Wednesday. If there will be more that 5 reviews from May to Tue/Wed, it will be by simple draw. If not, first 5 people will gain them. 2 or 3 days left for lazy members ;)

Giving the rest of them will be up to mouser.
