If objFolder.Items.Count > 0 Then
Call DOpus.vars.Set( "Script.RecycleButton", "isFull")
End If
and I have:
If objFolder.Items.Count > 0 Then
dim objCmd : Set objCmd = DOpus.NewCommand
objCmd.RunCommand("@set glob:RecycleButton=isFull")
Set objCmd = Nothing
End If
But my code shows the correct button icon when a new lister is opened.
Thanks for the tips @tbone. My scripting discipline leave much to be desired...lol
It should work with that line as well, you just need to make sure to correctly use "Script.RecycleButton" as variable name in your buttons, including the "Script." part, as it is part of the variable name and not something to be omitted when used in a button or elsewhere.
My pleasure, giving help is easy if it's welcome. o)
Must ask a little offtopic question here, what is that "ShowInViewerpane" script I saw in your script-list screenshot? I'm looking for something to control the viewerpane, so wondered what it is. o)
If the recycle bin is full and you empty it at another place (e.g. using the context menu of the desktop icon) the icon will not update. You should add something like this at the end:
If BinCount > 0 Then
dim objCmd : Set objCmd = DOpus.NewCommand
objCmd.RunCommand("@set glob:RecycleButton=isFull")
objCmd.RunCommand("@toggle:update")
Set objCmd = Nothing
Else
DOpus.vars.Delete ("RecycleButton")
End If
End Function
Instead of Function OnOpenLister(openListerData) I'm using Function OnActivateLister(ActivateListerData). This updates the icon more easily if something was deleted outside DOpus by e.g. toggleing source/dest.
@kundal, thanks for the feedback. I have updated the script to work on Function OnActivateLister(ActivateListerData). This has the added advantage that the icon is imediately updated if you delete via the context menu as well. I have also implemented all of @tbone's suggestions.
I have quickviewplus installed, but whether you have it or not, I find it way quicker to open a variety of files in the viewer rather than its registered program.
To do that, I edit the double-click event for the filetype and let it run the custom command ShowInViewerPane.
It also changes some layout settings that makes it easier for me to select another file to view in the viewer.
I removed some unnecessary lines from your script and made some minor changes:[code]option explicit

' See http://www.gpsoft.com.au/DScripts/redirect.asp?page=scripts for development information.

initData.default_enable = True
End Function

Dim objShell
Set objShell = CreateObject("Shell.Application")

DOpus.vars.Set "Script.RecycleButton", "isFull"

End If

@goselito
Thanks for showing the ShowInViewerPane-thing, unfortunately it does not what I was looking for, but thanks alot! o)
(Maybe you should clear that post to not unnecessarily mix this thread up? Additionally I suggest removing all script snippets once this reaches a usable state.)
Another thought: Think about people not using the recycle-bin (they might have disabled it completly), how is your script going to handle that, I'd expect it to throw an error, don't know for sure. But Set objFolder = objShell.Namespace(RECYCLE_BIN) could fail then, so there's room for some "on error goto " stuff I guess. You probably also could switch to a "recycle-bin" disabled icon! Huh? o))
Wonder though, why is it actually important for you, to see that there are items in the bin? I normally don't care at all. o)
You're welcome... I removed the code from that post.
It does not really make sense to me that anyone who disabled the recycle bin would want to have such a button
I just did this as a proof of concept. I saw another post where people requested a recycle bin button with status update, then I remember reading about the @icon command modifier, so I thought why not try it.
I installed the script and button and it works well. I am having a minor problem when when going to the recycle bin using the button. Windows 8.1 pops up a warning, "Windows cannot find Dim. Make sure you typed the name correctly and try again." Is it a problem with the script, or the button? Thank you for your efforts.
I tried to customize the buttons from standard function to script mode, but the result was script errors. Going back to standard function and they both work great except for the error pop up. Thanks for your attention!

The button seems to have a jumble of the command it's meant to have, then part of the script, then today's date.
Did you edit the toolbar file by hand in a text editor? That's not the way to import a .dcf button file; instead, just drag the .dcf file to your toolbar while in Customize mode.
