Total Commander

Just as we have:

FTPOPEN <name> = Open stored ftp connection
SYNCOPEN <name> = Open stored sync operation
LOADSEARCH <name> = Open stored search operation
MULTIRENAME <name> = Open stored multi-rename operation

It could be good for scripting purposes to have something like:
ATTRIBUTESOPEN <name> = Open Change attributes with stored plugin setting

And maybe make it so that it is run automatically with:
ATTRIBUTESOPEN =<name>
like it works for SYNCOPEN =<name>

Bump*

I agree that this dialog needs saved presets.

Thanks for implementing this in TC 10 b2

Please try it! I have tested it myself extensively but I can't guarantee that it's bug free.
Btw, the only option I haven't added is "Load from file under cursor", would that be useful too?

from the history.txt it wasn't clear to me that you can also do thx.


another thing:
can i add line breaks in a preset? i want to write the zone.identifier infos as comment. each value to another line.

Currently you can't, sorry. I will try to add it.

The only problem I see so far is if I use space (which is valid) as date or time delimiter, then only the first 1-2 digits of date or time is filled in and the Plugin_settings is not used (if it comes after +d or +t)

So works


but: or: does not work

Maybe it was better if the syntax was:
+s (subfolders), +a/-a +r/-r +h/-h +s/-s +dDate +tTime +pPlugin_settings

Then date and time could be read up to the next + or - or to EOL

Just don't use spaces for date or time separators - TC will accept : and / even when space is the default.

I am aware of that, but people who are accustomed to using spaces, because TC allows that when using the Change attributes dialog, might not understand why it doesn't work for them.

Nice useful option!

May I ask to change slightly the hint text in TOTALCMD.INC: I had to go to this thread to understand the purpose of this command; specifically, since the command it runs is named "Change Attributes" (using capitals), I believe it should read something like (perhaps using CamelCase like ChangeAttributes would be even clearer.)
If space is a problem, you could probably drop the "(subfolders)" part; or "the" and "command".
I noticed someone else commented about missing +L1/+L2 (another useful feature.) You might have selected +1/+2 for it, perhaps? (or rather +2/+1 to follow the dialog layout.)

In the English help, the description in "dlg_configbuttonbar.html" page lacks the "Change" part, the capital and the plural "s" for Attributes. There is a "options" word which I do not understand very well to what it refers; perhaps it should be "dialog". OTOH it seems to me the German help does not need my review!
