- 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! :)
