FYI, I'm not good at programming! BUT somehow created this button... lol
@nofilenamequoting
@runonce:@set filename={dlgstringS|Enter name of file|{file$|noext}}
FileType NEW=.txt NEWNAME="{$filename}"
I Select a file. Click the button, it opens a dialog box with the same name as the currently selected file. I change the name slightly and hit OK/Enter. It creates the file and names it perfectly, but leaves the file in the Lister as if I want to rename it.
The problem I can't figure out is. How can I create the file and not have it go to the "rename" state in the Lister? Better yet, How can it just create the file and open it straight a-way?
On a side project. Can the button work so that if no file is selected, the same dialog opens, but empty, and I can just type in a name (currently it doesn't)? If not, I can just create an three way button to do the 2 different commands.
[ul][li]You don't need @runonce with @set.[/li]
[li]To make {file$} optional, use {file} instead.[/li]
[li]Put "norename:" before the NEWNAME if you don't want the inline rename stage to happen.[/li]
[li]Just pass the filename to your text editor if you want to open the file afterwards.[/li][/ul]
@nofilenamequoting
@set filename={dlgstringS|Enter name of file|{file|noext}}
Filetype NEW=.txt NEWNAME="norename:{$filename}"
"C:\Program Files (x86)\TextPad 5\TextPad.exe" "{sourcepath}{$filename}.txt"
Note that many text editors will create a new file automatically if given a filename that doesn't already exist, so you can often reduce the command to:
@nofilenamequoting
"C:\Program Files (x86)\TextPad 5\TextPad.exe" "{sourcepath}{dlgstringS|Enter name of file|{file|noext}}.txt"
