Short: DOpus5 script to get DOpus4-like listers with memory
Author: christon@oslonett.no (Christopher Landmark Naas)
Uploader: christon@oslonett.no (Christopher Landmark Naas)
Type: util/rexx
[Note, my EMail address has changed. It is now christon@oslonett.no]
DESCRIPTION:
This little ARexx script opens or closes two listers (DOpus4-style).
It remembers the last used path for both when you close them and
uses those paths the next time you open them (much like DOpus4 was).
I've found that this method (two listers side by side) is the best
way of working with a dir-util, and since DOpus5 works in an entirely
different way than 4.12, I wrote this script.
The script is freely distributable, but it is ©1995 Christopher Naas,
All Rights Reserved Worldwide.
If you use it, you must either send me an EMail or write me a postcard
telling me you are doing so.
REQUIREMENTS:
Any Amiga with Rexx and DOpus 5+ installed.
INSTALLATION AND USAGE:
I've found that the best way to use this script is to assign it to a
hotkey, using TaskBar, ToolManager or some other program capable of
this.
If you do not want to have to start the script 3 times after every
boot to get it working, you should create a file in ENVARC: called
ENVARC:DopusListersPath with the names of the two directories you
initially want to be displayed, each on a separate line. E.g.:
ENVARC:DopusListersPath:
---8<------
Download:
Sd0:
---8<------
The first time you start the script, two listers will appear with the
above two paths in them. If you change the paths, the next time you
start the script, the two last used paths will be displayed etc.
The lister sizes and positions are ideal for my setup. They may however
not be for your setup. You should therefore edit the sizes and positions
in lines 57 and 62. The syntax is:
lister new 'x/y/width/height '
If you've completed the above steps, you should have a working setup.
Good luck, and don't forget to write me if you use the script! :)
