- $VER: CutNPaste.dopus5 2.2SE (21.10.98) Opus Magellan II edition
- Author: Keith Halstead <cv51kh@surrey.ac.uk>
-
- Description:
-
- This ARexx module will add a 'Cut', (Move), and 'Copy' item to file and
- directory pop-up menus, and 'Paste' to lister pop-up menus. You can also
- paste a file or directory into a selected directory or disk using 'Paste
- Into', and rename it using 'Paste As...' or 'Paste Into As...'.
-
- Locale support, Danish translation and bugfix for spaces in filenames by
- Michael Skibsted Sørensen <MSS@kob.dk>.
-
- Version 1.1 (and most of the hard work for this module) was written by
- Andrew Dunbar <andrew@gpsoft.com.au>. See "History".
-
- Tested only with DOpus 5.661 but should be fine with 5.5+. If there are
- any problems with Opus Magellan II email me and I will sort them out!!
-
-
- Installation:
-
- 1. Ensure RexxMast is running.
- 2. Install CutNPaste.dopus5 into the DOpus5:Modules/ directory, it will be
- automatically recognised by DOpus and the menu items added immediately.
- 3. For Danish language also install CutNPaste.catalog into your
- LOCALE:Catalogs/Dansk/ directory.
- (It's not necessary to reload DOpus.)
-
-
- Instructions (Brief):
-
- 1) Enable 'Name Mode popup' in 'Environment/Lister Options'.
- 2) Open a name mode lister of a directory with some files/dirs.
- 3) RMB click on a file or dir to cause the menu to popup and select 'Copy'.
- 4) Open another name mode lister, in another directory, and using the
- lister popup menu, (RMB click on a lister border), select 'Paste'.
- 5) The file or directory will be copied to that directory.
- 6) RMB click on a directory (or disk icon on the desktop) and select
- 'Paste Into' to paste the file into that directory or the root directory
- of the disk.
- 7) Select 'Paste As...' or 'Paste Into As...' to rename the file (using
- the 'MoveAs' and 'CopyAs' DOpus commands).
- 8) Selecting 'Cut' from the file popup menu will move the file or directory
- to the other lister.
- 9) If this looks complicated play around with it and you'll soon work it out!
-
- You can view the current contents of the clipboard and whether that item will
- be cut or copied when pasted by selecting "View Clipboard Contents..." from
- the lister popup menu. To clear the contents select "Clear Clipboard
- Contents..." from the lister popup menu.
-
- Contact me if you have any problems or questions.
