Suggestions for next release

Post by kpassaur » Sun Mar 06, 2011 10:15 am

I forgot where to post this, so I am putting it here.

I think it would be nice in the next version to have a GetFileList sort command. I was looking at some of my scripts and in numerous ones I am going to DOS to do a dir command so I can sort files. I think a name and date created sort function would be fantastic.

The other function I am constantly doing and this is in just about every script is going to DOS to create a directory. I know I can create a subdirectory in MS, but I am limited to one at a time. With DOS I can create the whole path in one command. This a typical one:

Let>settinsdir=%AppData%\Barcode Creator\temp
IfDirExists>%settinsdir%,haveappdir
Let>RP_WAIT=1
Let>RP_WINDOWMODE=0
RunProgram>cmd /c MD "%settinsdir%"
Label>haveappdir

It is no big deal as I have it saved as a Snippet. But it would be nice if it was built in. Perhaps for the next release users could suggest what there favorite Snippet does and maybe some of them could be built in.
