Files Plugin crashes when there is an ' in the file name.

[cbgifford]

I would have used the oid but tmrt used the filename so as I wrote I didn't change db logic, just changed it to use parameters. That is why I don't understand why you say it works differently

I assume \\DT01\Recordings is coming from your Files configuration for the source Location.

I appreciate you fixing it. I've also resolved my archive permissions problem. Are you going to contiue working on the FILES plugin? If you do, I would ask for one feature request. The ability to select multiple files or directories before moving them. That way you could move multiple series at one time. Say like mark them with the record button so it would work with any remote then move them using a for each type loop.

I'm an old VB programmer from before VB was VB and haven't programmed in C since my school days but since y'all are working in C#.NET, I could eventually figure things out.

Yes I am going to work on it, I was considering adding tagging but I am starting with things that don't take skin changes, I hate skinning. I learned to program BASIC on a Commodore PET

I started on Atari BASIC on an Atari 800 (rofl), we've been around for a while! I've never been great on visual design so I focused on the database programming aspect of things since the mid to late 80s so I am a good utilities programmer. I am happy to test anything you need tested.

As I actually wrote the current default Files skin a while back I have no problem modifying it for your needs if that would help Martin, I assume you still have my email address??

[mvallevand]

Yes thanks Jaggy you are too kind. There aren't many plugins as it is and I wonder how many there would be without your help? Maybe one of mine. Yes I still have your contact info.

Your mission should you decide to accept it:

1) I am looking at making the status box a little smarter. I don't see any reason in duplicating the filename and date in an area that is actually harder to read than the list. What I see would show

Matching Files: ### (In this example the count of the files match BB.S03E01.No Mas.* when filtering is on, for directories it is the folder info)
Size: #### GB
-----------------
Queued Files: ###
Size: #### GB

2) Change the colour when a file is tagged for moving, I'll populate an attribute.

3) New element on the file list to show that the file is in the database.

That all sounds quite straight forward to me & shouldn't be a problem..... but first I will have get familiar with the Files plugin again, it's been quite a while since I used it last..... (but I have recently been thinking about installing it on my production server anyway) & secondly try to get into a skinning frame of mind again before trying to tackle this one....

It has been implemented already, but probably not documented and tested. Could it be that I had not sent the latest version to mvallevand?
The one with the select function implemented has FilesPlugin.cs last modified on January 9, 2014.

Hi tmrt, he one you sent me is much older FilesPlugin.cs 2012-06-03

Sorry for the mistake. I have just sent you the latest. The selection mechanism and logic are pretty rudimentary. I got stuck at skins as well and then even forgotten to copy it from a laptop to my main computer.

[mvallevand]

Ok it still hasn't arrived, but I will watch for it. I'll diff it to what I've done and upload the merge here.
