NEW PLUG-IN: Files

[McBainUK]

I've resurrected and revamped the old Files plugin, v1.0 is now available on the wiki.

Features include:

• Copy/cut/paste/delete/rename files and folders.
  
• User configurable menus - hide functions you don't use or want.
  
• Advanced menu for management of external devices such as MP3 players and the Sony PSP.
  
• User configurable shortcuts for easy access to commonly used folders.
  
• Press Play on an audio or video file to play that file.

Please post any problems on the support thread as I look at that part of the forum more often.

OMG, I had forgotten all about Commando. I used to love that as a kid and I can see the rotating racks with it in now....

What a blast from the past!

Yeah I used to collect them, got about 600ish. One of the first VB programs I made was a Commando Comic collector database with reports and such, this is the folder which had some of the cover scans it used.

I can't believe someone has not done this sooner. I am getting so sick of dumping out to windows to download files from my NAS device.

One quick question before I try it out. Does it support UNC paths or do I have to map a drive?

Thanks a ton though for your hard work.

[McBainUK]

You can't currently type in paths so you would have to map a drive for now.

I assume this plug-in is not intended to update the GBPVR database if yoiu were to move or rename a recording?

No, it's a pure file manager so has no knowledge of GB-PVR stuff.

Or you maybe able to add a UNC path as a shortcut (never tried it myself).

Version 1.1 is available on the wiki.

The only change from v1.0 is that the reported System Volume Information related errors have been fixed.
