Migrating user questions:Text editor & making directorie

[bugmenot]

I need to type out the full title, even though only four digits have changed.

what about copy/paste ?

Not really an option; seeing as there is a better solution in NC, there is no way I'm going to "downgrade" to TC - when it comes to this functionality. Clearly ,TC is superior is most other areas.

also... try CLCL... some people make my attention for this one

Thanks for passing it on, looks like a useful prog.

b) When making directories, TC doesn't seem to remember -as NC does- the names of previously created directories.

Try my ahk-script (http://jungle.hut1.ru/files/tc_mkdir_history.zip), please. It will show drop-down list in TC create dir dialog when you press Alt+Down.

It was buggy! Sorry! New enhanced version is there now.

That looks absolutely wonderful!
I've never used AHK before, but I'll figure it out, thank you

I cannot download the script, gee there are hidden gems in russia... share it please in the wiki!

[Jungle]

share it please in the wiki!

ok. i'll do it tomorrow (cause i have PC only at work now).
p.s. did you try to download by browser or by a download manager?

Browser. The link is wrong, it includes a paranhesis, and a comma. But even stripped does not work. Do you have more AHK scripts made? Share them if they are worth it!

Browser. The link is wrong

strange. does it happen when you click a 'download' link on the page or when you just copy above posted link to a browser?
try download manager or http://jungle.hut1.ru/ahk/AHK_Scripts.html

Do you have more AHK scripts made?

at the moment there are 3 on my site. look at them and if you find them good i'll post them at wiki. i don't want wiki to be a trash.

aaaarrrrgghh! i'm a stupid idiot! the script may be optimized! i'll do it next week.

The copyright symbol is very irritating when it's used for a script presented in a Wiki.

Anyway, nice work!

Very nice work, thanks for sharing it!
Sadly redefining the Enter key is causing a problem here. And the history is saved only on Enter and click on Ok, but not on pressing Space on the OK button (but who on earth would use Tab then space anyway ). I will try to find a general way to catch the Ok event (should be a message).
One more thing: AHK now supports functions with parameters, so there is no need to define those global variables (so take_hist_dir(-1) is more readable). Anyway, the idea is brilliant, why not make it more general for all dialogs in TC?

1. There's nothing perfect in the world . I'll try to improve what i can (i know some things which can be improved).
2. I suggested to make TC more script oriented because there will always be users who want smth more and it's impossible for Mr. Ghisler and plugins developers to implement every wish. Maybe some new general message types? It's discussable.
3. What did you mean saying about making idea more general?

Simply extending the functionality to more fields in TC, like the copy dialog (maybe not really needed), or the MRT search and replace fields (there is F2 load/save), or Shift-F4 dialog (that could be of use maybe). Well, just a thought.

Simply extending the functionality to more fields in TC, like ... MRT search and replace fields (there is F2 load/save)...

Search&Replace values are already saved with the preset. So you'd like each preset to have multiple s&r history, wouldn't you? If yes, i think it's much more easier to implement it internally (for example, they might be comma-separated in the ini-file). If no, i don't understand you.

...or Shift-F4 dialog (that could be of use maybe).

should only filenames be saved and displayed or full pathnames?

1.) never mind, i agree with you, saving the presets is more than enough.
2.) interesting, how would you get the path in the Shift-F4 dialog?
