Scripts to help workflow now on google code.
Posted by stu at January 25th, 2010
I’ve uploaded my scripts to help workflow to google code, naming the project batch flow.
Heres a summary of some of the things you can do.
Clipboard integration
Go to a directory in the clipboard.
If you have the address bar enabled in explorer:
Copy the location, go to the prompt and enter ‘pcd’ to go to that folder
Go to the location of a setting in netbeans or eclipse:
Copy the location , go to the prompt and enter ‘pcd’ to go to the folder (or folder containing the file).
Get the current directory without dragging:
Enter ‘ccd’
Directory bookmarks
dirsave and dirload let you save named bookmarks.
Using hotkeys
If you use the alternate shell 4nt (or the free TCC/LE) you can use the supplied configuration and aliases to access the bookmark functionality from the keyboard:
In the 4nt or tcc/le prompt enter “option”, under the “TCStart/TCExit” path, change the location to the location where batch-flow is installed + “\conf”, for instance on my computer batch-flow is installed to c:\usr\batch-flow, so I set it to
c:\usr\batch-flow\conf
Now in new TCC/LE prompts F5-F10 are reserved for directories: Ctrl+Fkey to save, and Alt+Fkey to load. Alt-F12 lists these shortcuts.
Note: Alt-F12 only lists shortcuts on FKeys, to list these and other shortcuts enter dirload /l
batch-flow comes with other handy hotkeys, use ‘alias’ in TCC/LE to see what they are.
Path manipulation
addpath
It’s annoying after installing a program to have to add it to the path, so there is an ‘addpath’ command to do this.
regpath
This is a more general utility for viewing the registry path, you can list it, validate it, check for the location of files within it.
Also useful is ‘regpath /L’ which sets the local prompts path to the one in the registry.
Further help
Most of the commands have help builtin, which you can access by using the /? option.
