Documentation Required How to Construct Custom Commands

[defencedog]

I cannot find relevant documentation on Custom Commands

For instance I want to construct custom command to copy absolute filepath to clipboard (I know its available by default) but still...

It's available on wiki.https://github.com/MeanEYE/Sunflower/wiki/Commands-menu Sorry for the reply from phone. I'll provide more info later if needed.

Thanks. Hopefully you are working on a new release! Especially that removes the bug of file transfer from NAS drives

[MeanEYE]

Indeed. That bug is already fixed. And am ready for new release but I am having issues with packaging rpm. So that's the delay. Hopefully I will solve that soon.Mladen MijatovKey id: 4096R/83EFD5A0 2013-08-18

Hey, I cannot construct the proper syntax. Say I want to copy a file from active window to the other active window. Custom command will be cp %S ??

Let me get home and I'll double check.Mladen MijatovKey id: 4096R/83EFD5A0 2013-08-18

Okay. So, getting path from the opposite list is not added as parameter. I could do that, but for simple copying tasks, I recommend using F5 shortcut, or built-in copy command. This can be added of course but just cp it's pointless. Do you have a specific use in mind?

[defencedog]

cp was just a test.
I was hoping Sunflower can expose these variables because it can.

Possible usage. Highlighting some files on the right panel & then using a Custom Command create a .7z archive (for those files) in the left panel

[MeanEYE]

That seems like a more reasonable use case. What would be the ideal set of parameters to add for such use case for example? For example we could do cmd %active_selected %opposite_path. And yes am considering adding multi-letter parameters as they are more intuitive than single letter.

[defencedog]

Yes I agree with your approach

Further note: I custom compiled v0.6 but transfer from NAS are not working. I had opened issue yesterday
