OSE (On Screen Explorer)

[kalia]

Thank you Pako. The new feature, "Delete Folder", works good.

Hope you had a pleasant vacation!

Pako,

I would also like to request a feature where the OSE would reopen to the last folder (or folder one level up if the last folder was deleted) after "Deleted" actions takes place.

Thanks,

Kalia

This is a good idea. I will add it to my ToDo list.

This is the exact reason I came to the forum today.
This feature would be VERY nice.

Thanks again for all your work Pako... you ROCK!!!
(That is a good thing)

After some time I made ÔÇïÔÇïseveral improvements to plugin OSE.
What's new:

Code: Select all

Added action "Reopen last opened folder"
Added action "Go back one level"
After the action "Go back one level" the cursor is on previously opened directory
Expanded the number of keys, which can be used to control of the menu:
   wx.WXK_RETURN, wx.WXK_NUMPAD_ENTER, wx.WXK_RIGHT, wx.WXK_NUMPAD_RIGHT
   wx.WXK_LEFT, wx.WXK_NUMPAD_LEFT
   wx.WXK_UP, wx.WXK_NUMPAD_UP
   wx.WXK_DOWN, wx.WXK_NUMPAD_DOWN
   wx.WXK_PAGEUP, wx.WXK_NUMPAD_PAGEUP
   wx.WXK_PAGEDOWN, wx.WXK_NUMPAD_PAGEDOWN
   wx.WXK_ESCAPE

Until a new build will be released, you can download the enhanced plugin from SVN repository.

Hello pako,
I love this OSE plugin and also looking into osm but not working for me..
I don't know how to explain this but what i want to do is go back to the origin directory while using shortcut (to directory)
example...

show ose c:\ which contain shortcut after execution
[Shortcut for c:\test\test\]
it will go to c:\test\test\
everything is fien untill i want to go back.. back from where i came from not to the folder back (THE FOLDER UP)..
for example to c:\ the origin of ose.
hmm i can achieve this by pressing the show ose again but this will not work in complex folder system scenario..
Hope u understand best plugin and i love evenghost... i use it daily..


tried to use Reopen last opened folder option got the below error

Code: Select all

   Reopen last opened folder
      On screen explorer: Reopen last opened folder
         Error in Action: "On screen explorer: Reopen last opened folder"
         Traceback (most recent call last) (1507):
           File "C:\Program Files\EventGhost\eg\Classes\ActionBase.py", line 170, in CallWrapper
             return self(*args)
         TypeError: __call__() takes at least 6 arguments (1 given)

Help is very simple. You must perform (before first use) configuration of action Reopen last opened folder.
In the next version of the plugin I'll make improvement. If you do not perform a configuration, it will use default values.

Code: Select all

Traceback (most recent call last) (1512):
  File "C:\Program Files\EventGhost\plugins\OSE\__init__.py", line 637, in OnTextChange
    folderCtrl.SetStartDirectory()
NameError: free variable 'folderCtrl' referenced before assignment in enclosing scope

Tried again but i am failing everything
The button action does nothing...
Can u please elobrate with an example ?
Here are some thing i want to show u... (Check the attached files...
Do remember that the shortcut folder contains mostly Folders with shortcut links *.lnk

Other thing is when i use the the OSE for a little while (a little long or randomly) it just hangs and terminates. I mean the whole program get terminated...
I updated the program to the latest version i think the hang and terminate is some what disappeared. Will report again about it after using the system at night...
Is this the problem regarding long file name ? do ose have any long file name or memory limit related issue or limitation?


is there any alternate program for OSE ? any other program not related to eventghost because i would love to have a separate software like this because i some time switch between grinder and eventghost. (kindly understand).

Also is igorplug problem solved? like u mention on the thread that the person used a high level program to get a good access for the device. Like the grinder uses. I still am very happy with evenghost and believe me i haven't seen a perfect and even more featured app on the internet related to remote.... thank you pako for your dedication i really appreciate it...

oh i forget to mention that Reopen last opened folder always show my document in the left pane.. U can see the image.. i can't change it...
Hope u will understand...

[Pako]

Try the new version (r1520).
Maybe some problems will be removed.
If some remain, write again (I beg you - in clear language).

Pako

[altainta]

Okay i will try and will report...
Lol i am sorry for the language actually while writing i forgot to check it back...

[altainta]

Updated...Okay OSE working Perfectly...Some error of hanging crashing gone..
I think there was a human error (my own error).
Now i got to know how to use it...
Thanks pako... but i have some more question which i will post later on...
Thank you very much pako now i do not need to change the directory from pc..


edit: I also noticed one thing more.. yesterday my hard disk C drive went full. So most of the time eventghost created problem. But now i freed some space and it is working perfectly (seriously only 54kb was left on the c drive because of some hdd error)

tip: if it crashes because of OSE (now that is highly unlikely) than u have to restart the eventghost program again (by going to the pc). If u do not want to do it than "Keep Running software" it will restart the program if it crash.

Pako i am sorry but still the Shortcut -> destination <- (..) Shortcut Not resolved so i am clarifying the whole issue with the help of a Video Hope you will understand...
There might be mistake by me.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dsxOz7JeKvA

check out the video it will explain you what i am missing in OSE. And kindly remember that this is very Important Small feature for browsing large hard disk. I wanted to add this in feature request but it is related to your OSE plugin so i am posting it here.

[Pako]

Yes, the action "Go back one level" does the same as pressing / selecting "..".
So it was intended.
Perhaps it is true that the correct name for this action is "Go to parent folder" or "Go to parent directory".
I try, how difficult it is to make the action "Go back". If it will not too complicated, I'll do it.

Pako

[altainta]

Thx pako for considering my request.
1) Yes you are right the name should be Go to Parent Directory / Go to Node directory etc etc what ever you thing is okay.. (It is not necessary but to remove confusion in future rename it to ""Go to Parent Directory/Folder")
2) Please consider the Shortcut (*.lnk) browsing as a Request from me from the OSE plugin. Add this Feature it is most Important for Browsing only favorites files and folder. Please review the video and check the shortcut request i want you to consider. You can put like this...
3) Is there a Action / macro like GET VALUE (OSM) IN OSE? where and how to add this?
Feature Request (Proposal)

Code: Select all

. < This single DOT will take back to the Shortcut Source Directory.
.. < Double Dot is functioning properly (Go to Parent Directory)
>>Folder 1
>>Folder 2

Also add new Function

Code: Select all

Go to Shorcut file/folder source directory
or
Go Back (Shortcuts Files/Folder)

Hope You understand.
Thank you

After Upgrading to the latest version i found some problem reported viewtopic.php?f=4&t=3285

[Pako]

I made ÔÇïÔÇïsome changes to the plugin OSE:
- Action Go back one level renamed to Go to parent directory/folder
- Added action Go back
To try it, you can download the new version of the plugin here.
