F4Menu for all v0.58

[tosbsas]

will you look at the problem

I have set f4menu as it should be set (internal viewer) but now, when I want to use the plugin configure feature in pluginmanager I get an error

Ruben

please wait for the next version, f4menu will be stand-alone and can support it.

any news here??

A question for you, or anyone else on this forum: is it possible to let F4menu point to a relative path instead of an absolute?

bump ... from some posts above....

Yes - you can use both environment variables ( %programfiles%\yourdir\yourapp.exe ) or relative paths ( \progra~1\yourdir\yourapp.exe ) - but NOT paths that needs quotation marks ( "\program files\yourdir\yourapp.exe" ).

But why didn't you just try that yourself

@shanny
any news on that f4 behaviour?

Yes - you can use both environment variables ( %programfiles%\yourdir\yourapp.exe )

Hm, that will not be of much help i think. As far as i can see, %programfiles% is a built-in variable that will, typically, point to C:\Program Files
I keep the main part of my programs in C:\portable or, on USBmemories: F:\portable, G:\portable, etc etc

So my "editor for F4" now, for instance, is
C:\portable\totalcmd\F4menu.exe

and then in F4menu, wmv files for instance are handled by
C:\portable\mplayer\mplayer.exe

And its the C:\ there i would like to keep "open", since the base letter for my devices can vary a bit.

or relative paths ( \progra~1\yourdir\yourapp.exe )

I guess what i need to have is a relative path that points "to the parent dir", and then into a specific dir...

But why didn't you just try that yourself

Well, i dont know much about Windows syntax for these things.

%COMMANDER_DRIVE% variable points to the partition which is running TC.
%COMMANDER_PATH% points to the directory with the current TC instance.

Parent directories are referenced like that, watch the SINGLE dot in front which points to the current (working) directory:
.\..\bla\notepad.exe <=

That single dot can also be replaced with another directory, like that:
%COMMANDER_PATH%\..\bla\notepad.exe

This all works in F4Menu...

but NOT paths that needs quotation marks ( "\program files\yourdir\yourapp.exe" ).

You don't need quotes, just make sure that you are calculating the path from the correct starting directory when using relative paths, which is TCMenu dir, and don't forget the dot in front...

Thank you!! Just what i needed.

Parent directories are referenced like that, watch the SINGLE dot in front which points to the current (working) directory:
.\..\bla\notepad.exe <=

Uhm, ok, whats the logic of the single dot? Isnt it enough to just use two dots to refer to the parent?

[icfu]

It is, but it helps to understand the logic which I explained below, when you replace the dot with some other path.

I like this addon, it is more flexible than Choiceeditor which i used before. However there's one point where Choiceeditor is superior to F4menu, and thats when i select multiple files. I often use F4 together with mplayer to watch videos, and Choiceeditor opens them in sequel whereas F4menu opens them in parallell, all at once. Which isnt very practical with videos.

I'm sure this is just a case of me missing some configuration, but i haven't found where to change this.

Glad to see you again

It seems something have broken.
I cannot open anymore by using the option "1 - Open all files as a list", since the editor receive an incorrect path (his own path), which finishing with a chinese symbol followed by a "3" character.
