Altap Salamander Support Forums

I find myself getting used to the new shortcuts for window arrangement in Windows 7.

There seems to be a problem with buttons now. The script mhp.vbs ( http://forum.altap.cz/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=3799&start=15#p19311 ) worked fine under 2.53beta1, but now the created dialog window looks strange: ASmhp1.jpg And when the mouse is moved over the buttons, it changes to ASmhp2.jpg

It's a setting in the Sansa, not in Salamander .

See this thread http://forum.altap.cz/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=3851 for info about this problem.
Basically it's an error in the help file. A revised help file can be downloaded from there.

You can drag and drop the current path name into other programs, but only as text as it seems. Perhaps this could be enhanced.

Having more hot paths available has been a feature request for quite some time but is not on the current roadmap ( http://www.altap.cz/salam_en/newver.html ). There is a way to create hot path surrogates in the user menu (it's somewhere on the forum :) ). But after the new Automation plugin was intr...

Thanks a lot!

While working on the infamous rename2date.vbs script I felt some enhancement wishes coming up like this: 1. The 2 cases of something being selected in the panel or not have to be handled differently now. I've collected all the "real work" in a subroutine, but it is still a hassle. It would...

Especially on a laptop with touch pad and high-res display I think 24x24 or maybe even 32x32 tool bar icons would be handy.

There has always been the problem with the limitation of 10 Hot Paths. Here are 2 workarounds with the help of the automation plugin. Of course, all the names of directories, scripts and button labels are examples. 1. In one of the script directories create a subdirectory "Hot Paths". In t...

The crash has been discussed in the other thread. It seems to be a problem inside the automation plugin.
As Jan said, a hotkey can be assigned to a script so there's no problem.

BUT: As far as I know it is not possible (yet) for a script to be run when the AS main windows is not the active one.

Can you please confirm whether the script crashes when executed from Script Popup Menu and when executed from Plugins Menu, Plugin Bar or through assigned hotkey? It seems that there is a bug in Automation that takes Salamander down if a script displays progress dialog and is executed from popup me...

There seems to be an error in the documentation of the OverwriteDialog Method.
The dialog is asking "Overwrite file1 with file2?"

Based on an idea over there: http://forum.altap.cz/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=1558&start=0 Modified to remove the regional settings dependency (thanks to KNUT) + cleanup + better script name ' append date.vbs ' Append the current date to the name of the focused/selected files and directories ' 29.0...

I've created a renaming script as an example, see the thread mentioned above.
