Two quick questions:
First - Context menu - I have a submenu for "Paste..." and it has three buttons underneath of it.
1.Paste - clipboard paste usesel
2.Multi-Paste - ClipboardEx PASTETOFOLDERS
3.Create Shortcut - copy makeshortcut here
I have #1 set as the "button" option so that the submenu button operates as the "paste" command without having to open the submenu. However, when I go to click on "Paste..." I am required to double click the button in order for it to function. Is this something I am doing wrong or is this a qwerk? None of my other context menu buttons require me to double click for it to work.
Second - Button - I am trying to make a button that takes the clipboard contents and creates a folder with the mask of "- (clip) -" and then make the button labeled using the green label. for instance, if I had "Bob" on my clipboard and pressed the button, I'd like the folder - Bob - created, and labeled green. I Can't get the damn label function to act right, or at all for that matter. I've tried
and several other permutations of the above examples, and I cant get the folder to be labeled green for the life of me. "Green" is the actual name of the label that makes the folder and text Green. Help before I get a nosebleed thinking to hard on this?
You shouldn't need to double-click that, and it would do the same thing on both clicks. Did you wait a moment for the file to appear?
The Properties command is going to run on what was selected at the start of the button. It doesn't know you want it to act on the folder you just created. You need to tell it the file path to operate on if you don't want it to work on the initial selection.
Select DATE=newest will go wrong sometimes (e.g. a downloads folder where something is downloading at the same time, it might have its timestamp bumped between the first and second lines).
Selecting things to change what a command runs is usually not the best way to do things.
You know the name of the folder as you just created it. You can pass that to the Properties command without messing with the selection.
(If you want to make it even more robust, scripting lets you run a command and then get a list of folders the command created, which lets you know if the new folder ended up with a different name for some reason. That's more importantwhen creating a folder interactively, though.)
@jinsight Thanks for the help man I tried that and didn't get the functionality i was looking for but appreciate your help.
@Leo Apologies for the dual question thread. Seeing as it's still here, I wanted to respond to your incites:
(Context Menu) - Nope, its not pasting with a delay. It actually requires a double click. Single click does nothing. I tried it after seeing your response and it simply wont function without the double click.
(Folder) Your tease about wanting the more robust function using scripting, could you assist me in how I could create such a thing? I've never made a script, but if that is what is required to get this functionality to work properly, I'd make it, I just don't know where to start.
