"Temporary Panel" - how to parse file-lists

[Peter]

Hello

the plugin "Temporary Panel"
http://www.totalcmd.net/plugring/temporarypanel.html
can parse a lot of different "file-lists" - but how can I feed simple lists like these:

Code: Select all

c:\test\21.txt
c:\projekta\versionb\file3.doc
d:\projektb\version21\file.exe
f:\hello.drw
....

I might be wrong but how about:
1. go to Network Neighbourhood,
2. Enter on Temporary Panel,
3. copy files list from opposite panel into Temporary one (F5).

Yes - you are wrong

In some cases (catalogmaker etc.) it takes (parses) the content of the file, with a simple file-list it takes the name of the file-list. And I want to know how it would parse a file-list too ...

Yes - you are wrong

Not completely wrong because according to Temporary Panel's readme file:

4) Import from file lists - just copy into temporary panel and plugin promts you "parse it?"
if you choose "No" - it just insert link to this file, if "Yes" - it parses file and inserts a directory
,named like file and contains all files, listed in it.
Import can be disabled by checkng "Import playlists as files" option in Properties dialog of plugin
Can be imported file such lists:
- .BPL and M3U files created by WinAmp media player
- .LST files created by DISKDIR WCX plugin.
- .DIR files created by Catalog Maker WCX plugin.
- .MLS files created for FlyVCD video player.
- .WinDIR files. How to create them described lower...

I've made a quick test and it seems that list's extension is important. You have to use DIR for CatalogMaker.

BTW Please download this plugin from:
http://en.totalcmd.pl/download/wfx/tmp/Temporary_Panel

Version from totalcmd.net is dated for 2003, while totalcmd.pl offers newer one from 2005.

OK, I think I got it.

Thanks for the hint of the newer version.

The file must gave the extension WINDIR - then it will be parsed correct.
