Vocola. support for an App-Window beginning with an '_', e. g. "_xyz"

Hello all,

I have an (crazy?) App from which a _xyz.vcl-file is created when I say
"Edit Commands". How can I handle that file, especially that its content
isn't recognized globally?

Thanks and greetings
Udo

Unfortunately, Vocola's file

Unfortunately, Vocola's file naming convention (e.g., leading underscore denotes global commands) is inherited from NatLink. Perhaps someone from the NatLink community can comment on the possibility of fixing this.

In the meantime, a possible workaround is to use context statements to limit the commands to your application.

I wrote a fix in

I wrote a fix in natlinkmain, that should recognize each application name, like notepad++ (note the plus signs).

If this fix is committed and in the installer (not yet done so), Udo can see how this strange app behaves.

But... I would think an app with an _ (underscore) at the start simply should be ignored in natlink/unimacro/vocola.

My take, Quintijn

Hello mdl, Context Statement

Hello mdl,

Context Statement is a good idea, but the name of that statement must be exactly the Form-Caption plus ':', right? It's not possible to use a '*' for any char? Problem: Main-Form of the App contains the entire path of the project.

Thanks and greetings

You can use just part of the

You can use just part of the window title in your context statement (see http://vocola.net/ContextualCommands.html), e.g. the part that is not project-path-dependent.
