Changing Default Scripting Language used in Rename Dialog

Help & Support
1

Is there any way to make DOpus default to, say, Perl instead of VBA when selecting "Script mode" in the Rename dialog box?

Currently, you are given a VBA template:

[code]@script vbscript
Option Explicit

Function OnGetNewName ( ByRef GetNewNameData )
' Add script code here
End Function[/code]

Instead, I would like the following (so I don't always have to retype every and every time since VBA users don't have to):

[code]@script perlscript

sub Rename_GetNewName2
{
# parse parameters
my( $strFileName, $strFilePath, $fIsFolder, $strOldName, $strNewName ) = @;

#   Add script code here

}[/code]

Is that possible somehow? Is there template file in DOpus's configuration settings files I could manually update perhaps?

And on a completely unrelated note, how come I don't have that cool little "Registered Opus Pro User" title under my name? I have been a registered user for something like ten years now with every version since 2005 or so. :sunglasses:

You need to link your account.

Come to think of it, a FAQ on account linking, explaining the why and how, would be useful.

Actually, now that you mention it, I just noticed that they do tell us how to do it in that red banner at the top of every forum page. My bad. :blush:

You could simply save your Perl template as a Rename Preset.

Well, come to think of it, that's kind of what I already do, only I just use some other preset I've already saved, gut it, update it, and save it under a new name. I was just hoping there would be a way to make DOpus default to something other than VBA to save me a couple of steps.

Using a preset is the best way at the moment. We will probably add a way to set the default script (when not using a preset) in the future.
