| <<TableOfContents>> = User Command ScriptManager (Dyalog) = == Overview == `ScriptManager` (ScriptManager) is a utility useful to manage scripts in a workspace. Obviously it makes sense to make `ScriptManager` available as a User Command. This page offers a small class script `ScriptManager_UC.dyalog` which is designed to do exactly that. == Assumptions == In order to make `ScriptManager` available as a user command the script `ScriptManager_UC.dyalog` ("UC" for User Command) attached to this page must go somewhere where Dyalog is able to find it. There are to options: * Move it into `Salt\Spice` inside the Dyalog installation folder. That's where the Dyalog User Commands are located. * Create a particular folder for your own User Commands. Although the first option is certainly easier, it's actually the second one which is recommended. There are a couple of reasons: * Messing Dyalog scripts with your scripts is not a good idea. * When a new version of Dyalog arrives you are in trouble. * Having a separate folder for your own User Commands allows you to overwrite a Dyalog User Command with an improved version you are not going to loose in case of an update or a new version. To make your own User Command folder work you have to do a couple of things: 1. Add the folder to the SALT search path. 1. Create another folder which is going to host the "real thing". A recommended name is "!UserCommandCode". 1. Copy the script `ScriptManager_UC.dyalog` from the ScriptManager page into that folder. 1. Create a registry entry pointing to that new folder with the name `HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Dyalog\Dyalog APL/W 12.1 Unicode\SALT\CodeFolder` Note that the script attached to this page only deals with one issue: find the real work horse and call it, see below. In order to achieve that the script `ScriptManager_UC.dyalog` reads the `HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Dyalog\Dyalog APL/W 12.1 Unicode\SALT\CodeFolder` from the Windows registry. It then tries to load the "real" `ScriptManager` script from that folder. Note that not only our examples given on this page but also the code in `ScriptManager_UC.dyalog` all refer to version 12.1 Unicode of Dyalog. If your are using a different version of Dyalog of course you must change the script, otherwise it's not going to work. == Download == [[attachment:ScriptManager_UC.zip | Download]] the script. == Version == The script is version 1.0.0 from 2011-08-04 Author: KaiJaeger -- KaiJaeger <<DateTime(2011-08-04T20:13:42Z)>> ---- CategoryDyalogUserCommands |
