[Solved] Add ABORT for "Separate for each selected item"

#1 Post by user8899 » 18.11.2014, 13:37

In the Define favorite toolbars configuration window, each tool has a checkbox labeled Separate for each selected item.

If a tool has this options checked, once it's started, FC enters a loop in which the given program is executed individually for each selected item.

This is so cool, especially for things like mass file compression or image conversion.

The problem is if along the way the execution fails, FC won't stop and will always attempt to complete the "loop".

Is it possible to add an ERRORLEVEL validation after every iteration of the "loop", so FC would check if each command was finished successfully or not, and of course stop the process if a fail state is returned?

The user should have the option to specify a fail state value or range of values (1, 2, 3-5 etc.) individually for each tool on the toolbar.

If a command returned an exit code that coresponded to the given value FC would then stop the "loop" and prompt the user with options to "Ignore this single alert", "Ignore all further alerts" or "Abort the process entirely".

Another thing closely related to the above is the fact FC doesn't seem to mind if I select and open 10 or 10000 files at once.
IMO, there should be a settings to account for that. FC should display a warning when opening too many files at once. The same goes for executing a custom tool with the "Separate for each selected item" option activated.

Also, your applications is becoming more awesome day by day. You guys deserve a medal.

Could you describe your example of usage?

Currently it is not possible, FC does not wait for the end of execution of each call.

I understand. Thanks.
