Everything & Directory Opus

[Nug]

I've been messing around with Search Everything and DOpus to get 'Everything' to use it as an external file manager and at the moment I'm using hstart (Hidden start).

I had a batch file going and was intending to use hstart so that I wouldn't see the cmd window flash each time. Anyway here's the code/syntax I'm using. Its quite messy...

Code: Select all

open_folder_command=$exec("C:\Program Files\GPSoftware\Directory Opus\hstart" /NOCONSOLE ""C:\Program Files\GPSoftware\Directory Opus\dopusrt.exe" /cmd Go LASTACTIVELISTER" ""C:\Program Files\GPSoftware\Directory Opus\dopusrt.exe" /cmd Go "%1" NEWTAB=findexisting")

For 'Open Path' I'm not sure how to get DOpus to highlight the folder/file selected (like what happens if you use "Explore Path"). So it needs a bit of working.

Code: Select all

open_folder_path_command=$exec("C:\Program Files\GPSoftware\Directory Opus\hstart" /NOCONSOLE ""C:\Program Files\GPSoftware\Directory Opus\dopusrt.exe" /cmd Go LASTACTIVELISTER" ""C:\Program Files\GPSoftware\Directory Opus\dopusrt.exe" /cmd Go "$parent(%1)" NEWTAB=findexisting")

I posted this on the Directory Opus forums and it was suggested to use a select command if Everything can give just the name of the file/folder selected (i.e. without the path). Is this possible? Thanks for this great program and your help =).

I have added the function namepart(filename) for the next release of "Everything".

I've been mucking around with the beta (414b) to test out the namepart(filename) command however I don't know the correct syntax for the command and I can't seem to get it to work.
This is the code I'm using at the moment

Code: Select all

open_folder_path_command=$exec("C:\Program Files\GPSoftware\Directory Opus\hstart" /NOCONSOLE ""C:\Program Files\GPSoftware\Directory Opus\dopusrt.exe" /cmd Go LASTACTIVELISTER" ""C:\Program Files\GPSoftware\Directory Opus\dopusrt.exe" /cmd Go "$parent(%1)" OPENINDEST NEWTAB=findexisting" ""C:\Program Files\GPSoftware\Directory Opus\dopusrt.exe" /cmd SELECT namepart(filename)")

If it's just meant to be "namepart(filename)" then its probable that I'm using the Directory Opus select command wrongly.

Just got around to testing the namepart function and found a problem.

Still no luck unfortunately.

You might have to include quotes around $namepart()

Try:

Code: Select all

open_folder_path_command=$exec("C:\Program Files\GPSoftware\Directory Opus\hstart" /NOCONSOLE ""C:\Program Files\GPSoftware\Directory Opus\dopusrt.exe" /cmd Go LASTACTIVELISTER" ""C:\Program Files\GPSoftware\Directory Opus\dopusrt.exe" /cmd Go "$parent(%1)" OPENINDEST NEWTAB=findexisting" ""C:\Program Files\GPSoftware\Directory Opus\dopusrt.exe" /cmd SELECT "$namepart(filename)"")

Still not working I'm afraid, thank you very much for the help though.
