Opus Cut'n'Paste V3.4 introduces a number of user-configurable options to
control various aspects of its behaviour. You should only change these if you
know what you're doing as you could easily break the script (for example if
your text editor decides to wrap some of the longer lines of the script). In
all cases the settings are altered by editing "CutNPaste.dopus5" in a text
editor.
I have carefully set the defaults to what I think will be what most people
would prefer as they neither disable any features (e.g. links) nor enable the
verbose feedback when adding clipboard items. The default settings for the
archivers reflect a fairly "normal" set-up.
If you really want to change the settings but don't want to do it yourself then
please e-mail me describing the settings you want and I will e-mail you a copy
of the script with these settings.
If you choose to change the settings then please read these instructions and
the notes in the script carefully. Only change the text surrounded by ' ' in
the script - there is no need to add anything else to the script.
ARCHIVERS:
Opus Cut'n'Paste V3.4 can paste clipboard items into LhA, LZX and ZIP archives,
provided you have the necessary filetypes and archiver programs. You must
configure Cut'n'Paste to recognise the filetype ID's of your archive filetypes.
(The default settings are the same as the default settings for ArcDir and
ArcHandler.)
You can specify wildcards so if you have several filetypes matching different
types of LhA archives, all with ID's starting "LHA" then you can use the
following:
lhatype = 'LHA#?'
The ???cmd variables specify the AmigaDOS command to be executed. The defaults
will find the archiver program anywhere in the path. The default behaviour is
to only update (add non-existant or newer) files to the archive. The originals
will not be deleted regardless of whether they were "cut" or "copied".
If you don't want to use a particular archiver and don't have a filetype for it
then just ignore its settings - they will have no effect.
OTHER SETTINGS:
ramdisktype - default = 'RAMDISK'
This is the filetype ID of any filetype you have which matches the RAM:
disk. If you have this the "Clear Clipboard Contents" command will be
added to the RAM: disk's pop-up menu. Otherwise just ignore it.
copyicons - default = 'yes'
This controls whether icons associated with directories and files will
be automatically clipped when you select "Cut", "Copy" or "Add" from
their pop-up menu. It has three possible settings:
'yes' - always does this in any type of lister
'notnamemode' - only does this in icon (action) mode listers
'no' - never does this, you must select the icon manually in a name
mode lister.
addcheck - default = 'quiet'
This controls checking whether items are already in the clipboard when you
add them.
'yes' - checks items, displays a requester when a duplicated item is found
'quiet' - same as 'yes' but with no requesters (except a progress indicator)
'no' - no checks so you could have an item in the clipboard twice; this is
faster but if you have duplicated items you will get "replace" or
"item not found" requesters when you "paste" the clipboard.
enablepastelinks - default = 'yes'
'yes' - all "Paste Links" commands will be available when the clipboard is
not empty
'no' - if you never intend to use links then the commands will be hidden
secondviewreq - default = 'yes'
This controls the second view requester you get after viewing the clipboard
contents in the DOpus reader.
'yes' - this requester is displayed when you close the reader
'no' - the requester is not displayed
