Hold down Ctrl or Shift to choose multiple FOLDERS

[Chetwood]

Well, I'm still fiddling around on with some ideas to improve my tool MultiShrink. Is there a way to open several folders at once from a FileOpenDialog? For example,

I have a folder called m:\movies which has these subfolders

m:\movies\movie_a\

m:\movies\movie_b\

m:\movies\movie_c\

m:\movies\movie_d\

m:\movies\movie_e\

each of which has ifos/bups/vobs as one would expect. Now I would like to use a function similar to the FileOpenDialog that would allow me to CTRL-left-click movie_a, movie_d and movie_e but only if the file "video_ts.ifo" is in there:

$movies = FileOpenDialog("Select movies", "m:\movies\", "movie files (*.ifo;*.iso)", 1 + 4 )

with $movies resulting in m:\movies|movie_a|movie_d|movie_e

Is this at all possible or do I have to do my own GUI creat function (listview)?

folders... no, i really dont believe so

but if you use

FileSelectFolder

then something like

$fHandle = FileFindFirstFile($Temp_Dir & $Temp_File); directory (C:\...???) and type of file (*.avi or ???)

If $fHandle >= 0 Then

While 1

$result = FileFindNextFile($fHandle)

If @error Then ExitLoop

If $result <> "." And $result <> ".." Then

If StringInStr(FileGetAttrib($Temp_Dir & $result), "D") Then

MsgBox(0,"Test", " this is a folder " & $Temp_Dir & $result)

ConsoleWrite("folder" & $Temp_Dir & $result) ; send it where you want it... or no-where?

Else

MsgBox(0,"Test", " this is a file " & $Temp_Dir & $result)

;If $File name has .??? extention you want then...

ConsoleWrite("file" & $Temp_Dir & $result) ; send it where you want it...

EndIf

EndIf

EndIf

WEnd

FileClose($fHandle)

EndIf

Hope it helps

folders... no, i really dont believe so

I was thinking about something like this

where I could either use the +/- buttons to add/delete (when marked in the list) folders or simply open the main folder 'e:\movies' in explorer and drag some subfolders over to the list. Any suggestions/code snippets? TIA!

Of course, but I'm kind of illiterate when it comes to understanding other ppl's code examples What I don't get is why you're using FileFindFirstFile cause I need to drop folders and not files which does not work with this command...
