The main purpose of the listers is to enable you to manipulate files/dirs
easily. The commands below are the main ones used for; finding information
about a file/directory, selecting entries, removing and adding entries.
dopus getfiletype
This command returns the Filetype of a file or directory as defined in
your Filetypes, it does not need a lister to work.
lister query entry
This command provides every bit of information you can get on a file or
directory, datestamp, protection, comment, etc, etc.
With the commands below, it is necessary to perform a lister refresh
after them in order to have the lister display updated.
lister select
This command lets you select and unselect entries in listers, perhaps your
script lets users select files then pick an action, as each file is processed
you could unselect it in the lister display giving the user direct visual
feedback of the progress.
lister remove
The lister remove command lets you remove entries from the display, it
doesn't remove them from the storage medium, just the display.
lister add
This command is simpler than the one below, but as a result, is nowhere
near as powerful, lister addstem should be used in preference. It is here
for the sake of completeness.
lister addstem
This command allows you to add entries to listers, but it is not restricted
to just entries. It can add arbitrary display strings and popup menus as
well.
