[power-pro] Is it possible to expand the number of command lines in "More Commands"

[[e-mail] [power-pro]]

Hi Bruce,


Some time ago you were kind enough to release a version of PProConf.exe that has a visibly larger
"More Commands" section upon my request. Thank you for that.


I was wondering if you could also expand the number of characters/lines that we can use there.


Reason being is that I trigger many macros which paste larger text blocks and having more room than the current I believe 1k characters in the "More Commands" field would be tremendously helpful as I otherwise have to create separate txt-files and have them pasted with a command. Thereby I end up having a massive number of files all over the place.


If the character space would be around 3-5k pretty much all of my text files would fit right there and even better I have it all included in the pproconf.pcf file. So there would be only one file that would include all my text blocks instead of many text files scattered around that I need to gather carefully when changing my station temporarily.


Again, this expansion of character space would be awesome and hopefully this can be done without disrupting too much of the code.


Thanks again for your hard work. I cannot imagine my daily work at the computer without PowerPro.

Sorry, this is not possible. Change the look was possible. Change the amount of data is not.

I assume you are already reducing number of files by putting all functions used by some main script in the same file. You can even use sub-folders for script files if that helps to decide where what functions you need for each station You should be able to use .subfolder\script(args) to call if memory serves and help is right; note dot at start..


As well, imports statement allows functions shared among many different main scripts to be in one file which is on all stations..



See help "PowerPro Scripts", subsections on running scripts in files and imports.

Hi Bruce,

This approach sounds interesting. I suppose I would have one big file with blocks/functions inside it to jump to and gather exchange information ?


Are there any such examples to get started on this approach ?


Sounds very much doable but I have limited scripting experience and just need some ideas to get started.


Thanks.

I misunderstood your note: I thought you already had many complex scripts in files and were looking to compress and arrange by station.

To make sure my suggestions are appropriate for what you want to do, it would be helpful for me to understand what you do now with More Commands. Post some example of commands you put there. Also, post about how you run these commands: is it always hot keys or do you use menu items or bar items.


It would also be helpful to understand what you mean by station and what you are looking for to help you manage these commands by separate station. For example, does it station have its own commands or is there overlap.
