Presets Sub Menus

Yogui · 2011-01-07 06:56

I can't see this been ask before.
I got too many presets to show in the menu
Presets>Load

Would it be nice that sub folders of the Preset folder shows presets in sub menus of Presets>Load

The code should be simple, like in:

I think I saw something related to that but I don't find it either.

I also think that would be a great option. I have most of the presets preceded of what it should be the folder name, but it's still a mess.

SafetyCar,
Seems like not many people got exited with this suggestion.
I was looking in to write some code to make a custom menu/sub menu (like the link I've posted)
I was thinking to instead of Sub folders use a separator char like the tilde "~"
So the preset "Track~Fix Number" and the preset "Track~Fix Case" are place in the same "Track" sub menu.
By leaving them in the "Preset" folder Renamer will see (scan) them all and load/save etc
Any ideas about it?
Denis (not to waste time doing it) would you please confirm if you plan to implement this or similar request in the near future?
Thanks,

I would love that idea too!

Since all presets are just plain text files in a folder, it makes perfect sense to be able to organize them in sub-folders that would act like "categories".

There comes a point were you just can't see ALL of your presets in a single screen anymore and this becomes very necessary.

Other than that, it would make it much easier to locate certain presets on a structured tree (and avoid having me manually move some presets in and out of the subfolders - just to make them temporarily available for ReNamer - every now and then).

Hi!,
Yes, still a good idea.
I did the script (mentioned above) and works OK, sorry can't insert screenshot
I've used the ~ as a separator to create the sub menus and keep all files in the Presets Folder.
So the presets can be called by renamer as usual or my menu.
Denis, the Sub Folders is an ideal solution since is easier to implement and maintain.

BTW, I could not find a way to load a preset from the command line to an already running instance. Help!!!
or drag and drop (an .rnp file) to the Rules panel?
(I did it with the preset manager, but is by manipulating the GUI... )

Cheers,

Yes, you can! (obama style! hehehe )
Just put the image address inside "["IMG"]" tags, e.g.

[img]http://img809.imageshack.us/img809/8978/pleaseb.png[/img]

And you'll get this:

You can use this button:

What???
I didn't quite understand what you did, but maybe you could explain it better, I'm thinking that there is good chance this won't be implemented anytime soon, so maybe I should adopt the same solution as you did.

Unfortunately I rather have a proper solution from Denis, but in the mean time this is what I use.

This is an www.autohotkey.com script that uses several resources that I would need to separate from my main library for anyone to use it. An still a bit doughy, so again Denis please I'll beg u too!

The main problem is that I don't think we can load a preset from the command line to an already running instance. Help!!!

OK, I've never used imageshack... here it is...

Yogui · 2011-09-08 13:44

Hey! out of topic... we are trying to get a nice menu here!

Nothing fancy, print screen and cropped the image in GIMP

But I suppose you after capturing the context menus, may be try:
