get path Thread last updated on 2004-05-18 15:34:50

Is there a way to select a file and have its path copied somewhere.
Well im trying to get the !crypt command of lsplus to work in a more automatic way by not having to copy the path to the file I want to Crypt every time and somehow copy that extracted path to the rc.
wel a get path label(or something) output would be very usefull for lot of different operations that involve selecting a specific file without having to type the path and file name.
I have searched al available modules and havent been able to find a module that gets the path.
Is there such module.

you mean like pick a file through a dialog?
the module comdlgls can do it.

Thanks for the advice, but downloaded comdlgls read the instructions,tried every example.besides having litestep make an ilegal op and crush internet explorer didnt do anything.I dont know I copied and paste the examples from the readme and nothing.
maybe its an old module or its something with my configuration.

this configuration never crushes - never fails-recycles(and switches to subthemes) in a second.

Smurth, Thanks a lot you're right It can be done with label-1.99 or xlabellight starting from version 2.8.3. to bad xlabellight 1.1 dosen't souport the old syntax and its not able to doit.
The difference between xlabellight-1.1 and xlabellight 2.83 or 2.9 (performance wise)is so great that Im not willing to pay the price of messing up my system to get the old syntax support.Just load 1.1 version recycle and youll see what I mean.(Im just performance freek)
nevertheless Im following youre advice loading label-1.99 on a subtheme to get the automatic !Crypt function.
Thanks a lot.

If I remembar right, label-1.99 have memory leaks

Xlabel has a big GDI object leak if you use it to display desktop icons, but it seems that otherwise it's fine.

Does comdlgls crash for anyone else? I wouldn't be surprised if some of the set/get stuff made it die if you did things in a weird sequence, but a simple "!ComDlgFile" should work fine... :/

RabidCow,I reloaded Comdlgs to recreate the failure:
!ComDlgFolder (Works)
!ComDlgColor (Works)
!ComDlgFont (Works)
!ComDlgFile (Doesent Work)
*Could not get it to crash again.
