TCBL new version (1.04 )

[nsp]

I've done a small utility for TC and other file manager.

This tool get a list of file, build and launch a batch according to some options and parameters.

You can get latest version here
Latest version(update only)
Lexer file for synwrite tcbl.lcf

More details :
this is a lst2multi replacement with more features !

A) Why should i use it ?
- I want to execute some command from TC toolbar with more than one file (the %l %L).
- The command i want to execute is an internal shell command.
- I want to execute more than one command for each file.
- ....
Personnaly i use inside TC to launch a lot of imagemagick command resize,rotate,contrast...

B) is it easy to use ?
- if you know how to do thing with a dos console you are able to use it !


C) Why a bat/cmd file is used :
- you can use all system command (echo, ren, copy, move, .... ) depending
of your command interpreter.
- the -e option allow you to edit in notepad the created batch in order
to complete / modify before execution.

- the -E option allow you to use a bat file to edit the created batch in order
to complete / modify before execution.

Do you know the MakeBat plugin by TC author?
http://www.totalcmd.net/plugring/makebat.html

I think that we have a standalone version now.

Yes event if notice it abter building tcbl.
The make bat does not launch the bat automatically and do not delete it after excecution.....

For so i did this small standalone version.

The aim was to automate exceution for toolbar button (for my wife at first, and I to replace a lot of .cmd file i used with lst2str... a bunch of people only use one finger stick to the mouse...[\i]

[icfu]

@nsp:

To use a $ in a command, use $$ instead.

When using $$, it is replaced with $. ($dot), looks like a bug.

Icfu

[sgp]

2nsp: it's nice!

With -e could you make it start the shell open command handler for txtfile instead of notepad? On my system .txt is associated with my preferred editor.

OT but since you do a lot of command-line image editing, have you found a good way to visually compare image files side-by-side?

The new version remove this bug ! thx for pointing it !

With -e could you make it start the shell ...

I've added a -E that launch tcblEdit.bat file must be in the same folder as tcbl.exe.

Code: Select all

edit %*

or

Code: Select all

@c:\dev\txt\wscite\scite.exe %*

or whatever you want....

OT but since you do a lot of command-line image editing, have you found a good way to visually compare image files side-by-side?

In fact to compare images i mostly use html pages. The display is done by my favorite WebBrowser (K-Meleon) using side by side image at the same size.

The new version remove this bug ! thx for pointing it !

Sure, thanks for the fix!

Have you thought about uploading your tool to totalcmd.net? I think it would deserve more users. In the forum nice tools get buried too soon 'cause nobody knows that they exist...

is it possible for you to make use of %commander_path%?

currently i am using it in the start menu:

menu8=-Addons - Image Magick - Image Manipulation
menu9=Addons - Image Magick - Resize 50%
cmd9=%commander_path%\addons\tcbl\TCBL.exe
param9=%L C:\xp\util\tcmd\addons\imagick\convert.exe -resize 50%%%% $f %T$z.50percent.$e
menu10=Addons - Image Magick - Resize 150%
cmd10=%commander_path%\addons\tcbl\TCBL.exe
param10=?%L C:\xp\util\tcmd\addons\imagick\convert.exe -resize 150%%%% $f %T$z.150percent.$e
menu11=Addons - Image Magick - Rotate 90° to Right
cmd11=%commander_path%\addons\tcbl\TCBL.exe
param11=%L C:\xp\util\tcmd\addons\imagick\mogrify.exe -rotate 90 $f
menu12=Addons - Image Magick - Rotate 90° to Left
cmd12=%commander_path%\addons\tcbl\TCBL.exe
param12=%L C:\xp\util\tcmd\addons\imagick\mogrify.exe -rotate -90 $f
menu13=Addons - Image Magick - Rotate 180°
cmd13=%commander_path%\addons\tcbl\TCBL.exe
param13=%L %commander_path% C:\xp\util\tcmd\addons\imagick\mogrify.exe -rotate

would be a lot easier (usb stick) to use %commander_path% instead of e.g. C:\xp\util\tcmd\

thx

Own sample - description:
Backup button in TC Buttonbar. There a command with parameters will be
passed to TCBL, to copy all marked files into a folder named with
format yyyy_mm_dd_hhmmss (i.e. backup_2006_10_23_125905).

Buttonbar entry:
Command:%COMMANDER_PATH%\tc_tools\tcbbl\tcbl.exe
Parameter:%L xcopy /Y/H/R/I/Q $f "%Tbackup_$Y_$M_$D_$t\*.*"
Icon file:%COMMANDER_PATH%\icons\whatyoulike.icl,10
Tooltip:Copy to folder yyyy_mm_dd_hhmmss in target panel

Unfortunately it copies only files. So if I mark some folders it
copies only the files in the last of the marked folder, and if this
folder contains a subfolder, this subfolder will not be copied.
If I add the /E switch I get duplicates of all subfolders.

Any ideas how to make it work to copy all marked files and/or
folders including the subfolders?

-------------- EDIT ------------
Alternatively I made a batch file which does the same but copying
all files and folders of the actual dir into the new and formated folder in target panel.
According to this thread: http://ghisler.ch/board/viewtopic.php?t=2395

Code: Select all

@echo on
setlocal
for /F "tokens=1-4 delims=. " %%i in ('date/T') do set dd=%%i&set mm=%%j&set yyyy=%%k
set d=%yyyy%_%mm%_%dd%
for /F "tokens=1-2 delims=: " %%l in ('time/T') do set t=%%l%%m
xcopy "%1*.*" "%2backup_%d%_%t%\*.*" /Y/H/R/E/Q
endlocal

delims=. is because I'm working on a german system (date to convert is i.e. 23.10.2006).

I call it from Startermenu passing "%P %"T as parameters.

Hi,

I'm pleased you use tcbl

I have a similar Backup faclities... I've just a different parameter :

Code: Select all

Buttonbar entry:
Command:%COMMANDER_PATH%\tc_tools\tcbbl\tcbl.exe
Parameter:%L echo F$Pxcopy /Y/H/R/I/Q/S/E/I $f "%Tbackup_$Y_$M_$D_$t\$n"
Icon file:%COMMANDER_PATH%\icons\whatyoulike.icl,10
Tooltip:Copy to folder yyyy_mm_dd_hhmmss in target panel

Decoding....
if you copy a file with fullly qualified name, xcopy ask if it is a file or a folder... (in my system the response for a File is F ) you probably have to modify it in your german system. this is the "Echo F"
$P is for pipe "|"

For the xcopy command :
The /I is needed for copying folder to folder !
use /S/E to have the complete snapshot of the selected folder.

Hope this help.

[TychoBarfy]

"echo F$Pxcopy"
How can I find out what xcopy on a german system is waiting for? F doesn't work.
F = File (would be D = Datei in german but this doesn't work )

BTW another question. Must $f be included in double quotes in case there's a path or file name with spaces?

EDIT: And yet another question. Must I give xcopy a switch like /EXCLUDE:"%Tbackup_$Y_$M_$D_$t\" to avoid enless copying if I have the same path in both panels?
Don't need it, because xcopy does nothing if one has the same path in both panels.

"echo F$Pxcopy"
How can I find out what xcopy on a german system is waiting for? F doesn't work.

To see what xcopy is waiting :
on a cmd window,
create a file text.txt
and try to us xcopy like : xcopy text.txt oldText.txt
Xcopy will ask does oldtext.txt is a F = file or a D directory...
the leter behind the "German File" is the anwser !

$f is by deault the full name of the file if if contain space or extended letter, it is quotted automatically

EDIT: And yet another question. Must I give xcopy a switch like /EXCLUDE:"%Tbackup_$Y_$M_$D_$t" to avoid enless copying if I have the same path in both panels?
Don't need it, because xcopy does nothing if one has the same path in both panels.

I've never faced this but i think you are right you can exclude the folder itself if by any change you have already created a flder at the same second !

[TychoBarfy]

OK thanks. The letter for the echo is D -> %L echo D$P. But the button doesn't work. No directory is created nor files are copied.

Code: Select all

Command:%COMMANDER_PATH%\tc_tools\tcbbl\tcbl.exe
Parameter:%L echo D$Pxcopy /Y/H/R/I/Q/S/E/I $f "%Tbackup_$Y_$M_$D_$t\$n"
Starting path:[empty or not]
Tooltip:Blabla
