Hello and thanks for reading my post.
I wanted to give to you a few (three) suggestions for a future
version of FlashFXP. The command button thingie has been posted
before and search for it turned out it was in a forum that doesnt
accept any more posts because it was closed due to the subject
being suggestions for an old version of FlashFXP. Since this is about
the latest version of FlashFXP I am going to post it again
1. SITE Command buttons:
I don't think I need to say much on this. It means the ability to
assign SITE commands to a button that you can then select from
right-clicking on the button bar under the menu bar. Maybe
spawning a little dialog where you have three entries for Caption,
Command and Icon.
2. Char replacement:
By that I mean the following scenario: On many sites dirs with
spaces in them ("I am a dir") are not wanted due to either scripts
being involved or a collaboration workgroup working on projects
that cover more than one target OS.
So a tab in preferences (F6) would be nice where to tell FlashFXP to
replace all given chars with chars you like.
Another example: the German 'Ã' would be automatically replaced
with 'AE' which has the same meaning and working on websites in
Germany you always have to replace that. So if you forget one
instance you can screw things up for the designer and the
programmer in the project alike.
I am thinking of these very long nights and your tired and you make
mistakes. An auto-replacement feature for this would be particularly
nice in such instances.
This would be even more nice if the replacement occurs not on the
source site but the target site. This way your dirs stay the same on
your end and get corrected before sending them to the target.
3. Compare feature: New option
Correct me if I'm wrong but as of now you can compare dirs partially
or by exact match. Exact match features Advanced options such as
Compare by Name and Size, Do not compare endings etc.
It would be nice if you could select additionally to compare by Name
Only (and not size).
This would cover the scenario where on sites a script is used to
clean up zip files for containing unwanted stuff. You cannot use the
compare dirs feature anymore then because the size differs from a
few KB.
Again, thanks for listening and also for a great program
