Anyone interested? [^] New features that you can try to "break"... 1) [u]File Verification[/u] - Checks to make sure all files in your queue a)EXIST (cause you never know when loading a FileList), and b) are available to EDIT, (i.e. another AutoCAD user isn't working on the file!) When the check is performed, and a file is found to be either missing or "locked", then a list is presented to the user and they can select to remove the offending files from the Queue, copy the list to clipboard, and/or continue the creation of the Batch Script. (Also has been added as an Option to "Always verify files" upon creation of a Batch Script) This is very handy in a large office situation, where many people can be working on many files. It's a pain having a script interrupted by a drawing that is "locked", so this will give you a warning. 2) [u]Remove Duplicates[/u] - Removes any repeated items in the Queue. This can happen again with the FileLists, when appending many FileLists that may have the same files in each. (Should this be added as an option to "Always remove duplicates before creating batch script"?) 3) [u]Drag-Drop FileLists[/u] - Allows the user to drag any TXT file into the Queue. The contents of the file are scanned, and any Files that match the drawing file selector "filter" pattern are added to the Queue. This can be useful if you have another application that outputs files (via a text file) that need to be printed, just drag/drop the file into the Queue, and it will load the Queue. The format for the file should be: [i]pathandfile pathandfile pathandfile pathandfile[/i] where pathandfile = "*:*filter" (all garbage get's filtered out, so only "*:*filter" will get added. (Provision can be added for CSV, if someone gives me a typical output). Just give me a shout... [url="mailto:support@74mph.com"]support@74mph.com[/url] Thanks!
