Evaluator SysInfo Function - Build Date Property

Help & Support
1

Request adding version build date property (i.e. VerDate) to SysInfo property

2

What would you use that for?

3

OCD. I track how long it's been since the last DOpus update.

4

The modified timestamp on dopus.exe will give you that.

5

Great! Is that accessible via Evaluator?

6

AFAIK the Evaluator doesn't have that ability, but scripting does.

OK, trying to get via JScript with my limited skillset. Here's what I have found and tried:

function OnInit(initData)
{
	initData.name = "DOpusRelease";
	initData.version = "1.0";
	initData.copyright = "(c) 2024 Chuck";
//	initData.url = "https://resource.dopus.com/c/buttons-scripts/16";
	initData.desc = "";
	initData.default_enable = true;
	initData.min_version = "13.0";


}


var file = document.getElementById('C:\Program Files\GPSoftware\Directory Opus\dopus.exe')[0];
var timeStamp = file.modified;
var lastModifiedDate = new Date(timeStamp);

function OnOpenLister(OpenListerData)
{
	DOpus.Output("Last Modified " + lastModifiedDate)
}

I get a "document" is undefined error. Not sure what I'm missing. Appreciate any assistance.

document.getElementById will work in a browser.

This will work in Opus:

var fsu = DOpus.FSUtil();
DOpus.Output('Last Modified: ' + fsu.GetItem(fsu.Resolve('/home\\dopus.exe')).modify);

Thanks for this!

How do I get the difference between the modified date and now?

10

Like this:

var fsu = DOpus.FSUtil();
var mod = fsu.GetItem(fsu.Resolve('/home\\dopus.exe')).modify;
var now = DOpus.Create().Date();
DOpus.Output(mod);
DOpus.Output(now);

DOpus.Output('Diff in milliseconds: ' + (now - mod));
11

Thanks for this! I previously used Date() instead of DOpus.Create().Date() and received a NaN output.

Now to figure out how to put the output on a label...

12

On a button label? Store it in a global variable and call it via Val("$glob:...").

13

Thanks. Here's the script thus far:

// Called by Directory Opus to initialize the script
function OnInit(initData)
{
	initData.name = "DOpusRelease";
	initData.version = "1.0";
	initData.copyright = "(c) 2024 Chuck";
//	initData.url = "https://resource.dopus.com/c/buttons-scripts/16";
	initData.desc = "";
	initData.default_enable = true;
	initData.min_version = "13.0";
}

var fsu = DOpus.FSUtil();
var mod = fsu.GetItem(fsu.Resolve('/home\\dopus.exe')).modify;
var now = DOpus.Create().Date();
var versionAge = Math.round((now - mod) / 1000 / 60 / 60 / 24);
var versionDays = "";

function OnOpenLister(OpenListerData)
{
	DOpus.Vars.Set("versionDays","versionAge");
	DOpus.Vars("versionDays").persist = true;
	
	DOpus.Output(mod);
	DOpus.Output(now);

	DOpus.Output('Diff in milliseconds: ' + (now - mod));
	DOpus.Output('Version Age: ' + versionAge);
}

The global variable shows as versionAge, not the number.

The button label does not work

@label:=Val("$glob:versionAge")

I am just not connecting dots today.

You are storing a string in the global variable instead of the variable. Remove the quotes and you should be fine.

Perfect! Thanks for the help.

For anyone interested:

// DOpusRelease
// (c) 2024 Chuck

// This is a script for Directory Opus.
// See https://www.gpsoft.com.au/endpoints/redirect.php?page=scripts for development information.
