so u shud be

Hi everyone,

I posted a new version of the plugin up. This version has:

fixed "Click remove and leave blank entry in listview" bug
improved options dialog
included /xorgauto command
improved error handling routine


PS sorry wipey and sk3tch but i cannot fix that bug so it has become a limitation. Its on my to do list but i really do not think it can be done.

Way off topic but must be said. I found my cat today he has been missing for a week . turns out he was locked in a house builders were working on. Had to be mentioned

Thats great   Better options dialog is nice, and thats ok.. if you cant do it its not a big deal, it would just be nice

um, isn't the bug fixed by placing like

code:

---

sTextToSend = ""

---

in your function?

good to hear bout your cat, ours once got locked in a garage lol, wasn't funny at the time no one knew where he was

Ah if it only were as simple as:
Sresult = ""

You are right in theory but Sresult isn't processed until the function is finished so in /xorgfiles it has to finish performing the function (organising files) before it sends Sresult (even if Sresult = "" is the first thing in the code.) and the reason why it doesn't clear at all on /xorgauto is because the function doesn't finish until /xorgauto OFF is called (which is when Sresult will be sent.) I hope that makes sense

Surely though something like this would work?
(pardon my VB. not sure what you program in)

code:

---

ElseIf sCommand = "xorgfiles" Then            'Yea I cut down the compare cos I can't remember lol
    Call OrganizeFiles()
    sResult = ""
    ParseCommand = True
    Exit Function

---

sorry, I dunno why it wouldn't, correct me if I'm stupid

(just say you program in C and I'll get my coat now)

also if it takes alot of time why not place the function in another thread so your plugin could return ""?

I have just noticed a huge bug in the newer version of the plug-in. It basically assumed that files that have been moved, have not, so it tried to move them and you got an error. Well here is the bug fix.

Just one thing you may need to remove all your old organisations if you are updating from the older version

I must try this plug-in when i get home!

If you want the "Organisation" to not lock up messenger you must run it in another thread. This means you call the organisation function and then instantly set sResult to "" and return

I dont know what VBs like for multithreading, i use c. However in c, the task would be along the lines of

* make a data structure to contain "messages".
* make a function to check the data structure for "messages" such as the "Organise files" message, and when it finds the message, calls the organise files function.
* create a new thread to execute that function
*in the main thread, at the appropriate time add the "Organise files" message to the queue.

obviously you would start your thread up at initialise() and close it down at uninitialise.

if only u used c/c++ cos i got a set of classes that do all this for u =/

Multithreading (gulp) is the solution for the "limitations" of this plugin. Now all i have to do is to figure out multithreading. As for this plugin generally, i am gonna do a complete remake of it.
