[HELP] - Use of indexof

[hiranokite]

I'm trying to set positions to some entries using indexof, mentioned here #229, but I'm facing some difficultly.

item(type='file|dir|back.dir|drive' mode="multiple" title='TEST' image=[\uE280,#f00])

this menu will appear on many occasions, but I'm not manage it to work like i want.

Need to appears after Open with, while file is selected, position=indexof("Open with", 1)
but on files like .exe it wont appears since executable only do option to Open, so will need a fallback in case Open with isn't available it try on another menu, maybe possible using if(), but since i have not found the documentation of indexof it's became difficulty, every time i try a new code it not work as intend or Shell just fail to load because the syntax error.

I need it to work in the following order, Open with > Open > Refresh

Open with = file
Open = file, folder and drive
Refresh = folder background

any help or suggestion will be welcome.

File

EXE

Directory

Dir Background

Drive

indexof('item name' [ [, index] [, fallback index] ])

indexof('item name')
indexof('item name', 1)
indexof('item name', 1, 2)

This is a temporary solution

item(type='file' find='!.exe' mode="multiple" title='TEST' image=[\uE280,#f00] position=indexof("Open with", 1))
item(type='file' find='.exe' mode="multiple" title='TEST' image=[\uE280,#f00] position=indexof("Open", 1))
item(type='dir|drive' mode="multiple" title='TEST' image=[\uE280,#f00] position=indexof("Open", 1))
item(type='back.dir' title='TEST' image=[\uE280,#f00] position=indexof("Refresh", 1))

I will support this function with multiple strings like the following example

indexof('open with|"open"|"edit"'], 1, 2)

@moudey I'm trying to remove a menu but I'm facing this scenario.

the menu in specifically is Sort by on desktop

When I uncheck View > Show desktop icons all items inside Sort by become grayed.

modify(type='*' where=this.disabled visibility=remove)
when using this line all items inside Sort by become disabled, but the menu still visible.

I need to completely remove Sort by menu, but only when Show desktop icons is unchecked.

[moudey]

The correct expression for the value of the visibility property

visibility="remove"
visibility=vis.remove
visibility=0

[hiranokite]

The correct expression for the value of the visibility property

visibility="remove"
visibility=vis.remove
visibility=0

but there's a way to remove Sort by menu only when it's empty?

[hiranokite]

any suggestion?

any suggestion?

Sorry for the delay, it will be worked on

The taskbar works again. It was due to an extra byte being written to the registry while the shell was enabled.

Build 22

Fix

And on build 20 i can't use the LMB + RMB to show the hide menu on taskbar anymore.

New

app.ver.major
app.ver.minor
app.ver.build

Thanks, everything is working great.

and there's something I noted since build 20, this line is appearing on the log every time I open Taskbar context menu, does that mean something?

It was just a test when I clicked on the taskbar I forgot to remove it.

[hiranokite]

Understood, thought it was some error on my windows.

[hiranokite]

i can't use the LMB + RMB to show the hide menu on taskbar anymore. item(visibility=key.lbutton() or key.lshift() or key.rshift() title='Restart Explorer' image=\uE1AB cmd=command.restart_explorer)

hello @moudey, this behavior come back at new build 33.
since this shortcut it's simple to use I use it a lot. can you take a look?

[moudey]

This issue is mainly in the taskbar. Try the default context menu you will find the same problem. I will look for a solution to it.
