Wonderful Script Idea. I don't use nearly as much of what is set up but it is useful for the 3 or 4 folders I switch between a lot daily at work.

Hi Rexx,

your script is such a time saver!

I am not sure whether you tried Sandboxie.com before (a very useful, small app)? Probably not? It allows you to start any program and to encapsulate the changes in a sandbox (so that the original system is protected from any modifications).

But here is my question. For example when I open a (sandboxed) explorer window, your script doesn't seem to work (that is I can not change to a different folder). But if I open a sandboxed command line window, your script works (that is changes directories correctly).

Any idea why that is?

Thank you very much for your help in advance!

Sincerely,
Peter

Thanks. : D


Hi, i tried it. It changes the window classname, adding some prefix to the original classname. The script doesn't work because it checks the classname for supported window. I tried to use 'contains' to check the classname, but it still doesn't work, dont know why.

Rexx, thanks a for taking the time to try this. Hopefully you find Sandboxie useful

Yes, indeed. It adds the prefix: Sandbox:DefaultBox:

Fortunately your app is flexible enough to add new Window classes. I actually tried this and it worked (added Sandbox:DefaultBox:CabinetWClass to ini file).

But since that worked, probably your "contains" code should also work?

Regards.

Rexx, where can I find lib.ahk?

Many thanks in advance!

Rexx, thanks.

I tried the new version 121 (both the exe and ahk version), but when I click on "Add Favorite" in the menu it crashes and the tray icon disappears. All previous version worked fine.

Any ideas what could be wrong?

No idea
What's your OS, and where do you click the "Add Favorite"? In tray menu or in the popup favorites menu?
I've tested on win7 and winxp, both works fine.
And which previous version works for you? 1.20 or earlier?

I tried Vista sp1 and Windows 7 (7077). I right clicked on the System tray.

Is there somekind of debug log?

The previous version was 1.16. (I personally like this version better, because less bloated (no lib.ahk etc)).

In the new version 1.20~ I add a favorites management GUI in options, and "add favorite" will go to the options GUI and add a new item.
Can you add an item in the favorites tab in options? (press Ins or click "+" button)
or that crashes too?
There's no debug log, you have to look the ahk log window.

Actually I tested again. It works fine on Vista.

But on Windows 7 (7077) it crashes, for example when I click on options or add favorite in the right click menu.

I guess Windows 7 is not supported yet ...

On my Windows7 (7000) it works fine.
Maybe I can find out what's wrong when the Windows 7 RC is out. :p

Yes, good idea. Windows 7 RC is leaked already (build 7100).

Rexx,

you could use regular expressions instead of Contains.

For example:

Thanks for this script.

I have an error when trying to add a new item.


'Could not open...........whatever file
there's something wrong with your config file.'

It is a noob question, but what have I missed here?

Thanks
