Winalt+y Mark.name Copy & Find In Running Explorer

[Bernd.Frisch]

I am often recording MP3s from internet radio stations.

To make sure, I haven't already recorded a certain song, I

open with Windows Explorer the directory of all my MP3 songs,

doubleclick on "Name" (to sort after name) and enter the first

letters of a songtitle to see, if it is already in my files.

 

 

To do this with a macro, I open the playlist of my internet radio

station, mark the songtitle coming next and start my macro with

WinAlt+Y

WinAlt+Y Mark.Name Copy & find in running Explorer

WinAlt+Y Mark.Name copy&finde in geöffneten Explorer

 

T1= Marked Titel in Cipboard

T2= Window name - Default= "\" / Fenstername - Vorgabe "\" =T2 may be overwritten

by T98=special Explorer Name if this macro is started from another macro

Unfortunately the new WINDOWS XP design doesn't show the complete directory of an Explorer

window, e.g. D:\Word, but only "Word", so "\" cannot be used to find

a certain text

in different explorer windows and must be used starting fom another macro with T98=certain

Explorer name to overwrite  the default T2="\"

 

N1=PixelColor of name for sorting / von "Name" zum sortieren

My Question:

How could I change my "Activate" command, so that always the only -but not active- Explorer window

running, is beeing activated, regardless if I use the classic or the colorful WINDOWS XP design ?[

Not sure exactly what you are trying to do. However, I noticed in your macro that you say XP does not display the entire directory in the window title. On my system it does. You may need to change your folder view settings:

Exactly ! Thank you very much !

 

If the entire directory with "\" backslash in the title is displayed, then my old activion command: <ACTIVATE2:\> works and any open Explorer will be activated, regardless of it's name.

 

Provided, the NAME of a song title is allways on the left, and the DATE is allways on the right margin in an Explorer window, I slightly changed my macro to find the latest, newest file with WINALT+L (for Last) - regardless of the size of the Explorer window:

WinAlt+L Last/newest file in active Explorer
WinAlt+L Letzte/neueste Datei suchen im Explorer

T99=Cipboard Content at macro start/Zwischenablage bei Makro Start

N2=Window width/Fensterbreite rechter Rand des aktuellen Fensters (-30 =Date at right margin/Datum an rechtem Rand)
