Topic: Warning about secondary streams

Repeating the pet peeve: Even if I select "ignore", x2 does not move such items (it only copies them). Finding these "failed" items (to delete them in a separate operation) is a tedious and error-prone job. Desired: Once we confirm that we don't care about the secondary stream, i...

Thanks, but the Text2Folder is what I wanted. The only fly in the ointment with Text2Folders is that in order to integrate it with x2, we have to set up a user command in x2 (which in itself is a 3-step convoluted process; and not user-friendly). The overloaded F8 dialog that I described would have ...

Text2Folder: Creating folders (and subfolders) from a list

x2 has a facility to create a new (empty) folder by pressing F8. (Or, use the Actions>New Folder menu option). But it cannot create multiple folders (or their subfolders) at a time. This can be done with a small utility called Text2Folders This article explains how to use the utility: 1. Follow the ...

Now this is what I call a win-win-win situation: I get what I wanted, ~k does not get to code the script (which means more hours at the forum :shock: ), and Nikos can avoid coding the x2 (which means HE can ogle at buxom ladies on swings, muttering to himself, " do I see a simple pendulum or a ...

Of course thanks go to all the outhouse builders, but what I want is a nice airconditioned WC with modern plumbing. :) The Rolls Royce owners are used to certain level of finesse, you see. I'd want an umbrella concealed in the door. http://www.rolls-roycemotorcars.com/media/42784/is01_d.jpg?13474487...

Ah if the option is between sitting in grass and outhouse, then my choice would be the outhouse. But I'd prefer an indoor facility right inside the Palace (with a bidet spouting rosewater). You mean your half line will achieve whatever ~K's reams of script will do? :twisted: @Source of list of folde...

The idea of using a script with x2 is just like having an outhouse at the back of Buckingham Palace. Of course we are not amused! And here is a funny story: I posed the same problem at ReNamer, and they also came up with two OTHER scripts, and finally the suggestion to copy an empty folder multiple ...

So that proves paucity of ideas, nothing else.
There was no iphone before Steve Jobs came up with his ideas.
No one thought it would be needed.

Closer home, there were people who were skeptical about having tabs in x2...

A more intuitive implementation occurred to me: Here's the revised imagined scenario: 1. When I press F8, x2 opens a NORMAL text box.     If I enter a single name, and then press OK or press ENTER , x2 creates a single folder.   This is exactly as before (no change). But- 2. x2 allows me to create a...

So how about fitting this in the greatest dual-pane explorer on Earth? Here's the imagined scenario: 1. When I press F8 , x2 opens a multi-line text box. 2. If I enter a single name, x2 creates a single folder.    x2 allows me to create a multiline list by-     (a) entering name followed by <Enter>,...

@Brig :) I suppose there's no way to prove here that I have independent existence and am not a projection of Kilmatead's imagination.

Creating multiple folders from a list

I don't know if we have discussed this before, but it seems so basic that I am surprised that I couldn't find it in a search. The application is this: I start with a list of names (each name in a new line). I want to create new folders with those names. A typical example: I have 23 names of design p...
