Just to let you know that I am adding Convey to my suites, which means it will get lots of promotion, and of course you are being credited!

Alright, so the ql addon, when copying shortcuts over, puts the wrong drive letter, C in my case, into the target field in the copied over shortcut.

As for start in field, it loses the drive letter completely.

Send to works fine, as it copies over the correct drive letter (F on my home computer, E on my work computer, and others on other computers), and loses the start in field contents altogether, as most portable apps, namely all launcher apps don;t require the start in characteristic.

Welcome back ede. Convey is still amazing, and with more addons it just keeps getting better. I am currently working on a modification of the C.A.F.E. app, a portable ahk app that sets temporary file associations to apps on the user's portable device. It is its own app, but it would be great if it could also be tied into Convey as an addon. I'll post contact info after i get it working, if you are interested. For now, just message me here in the forums.

P.S. the source for your Copy & Move addon is not available. The zip file on your site contains the exe for it.

I just downloaded the quick launch addon...

Is there anybody planning to launch an addon like c.a.f.e.? (searh this forum for more info)

My pleasure

Works great now, great addon!

Can you make it so that if you send a program to the command addon, it will automatically make the shortcut in quicklaunch? much like the !Conveyer option in the convey default settings. It'd make adding apps to the quicklaunch a breeze!

Something not normal with convey happened yesterday when I finish my work... I was using quick launch addon for the first time, and when I closed my PStart (that automatically closes convey), for the first time, it lets all the Apps in send to and Quick Launch, this only happens when you kill convey, but I didn't kill it, I just exit.

Is this something in the new Quick Launch Addon?

BTW, Quick Launch, convey and convey with quick launch are terrific...

Can I make a suggestion? I don't know anything about programming so this can be a very stupid question but... why shortcuts in a folder? I think it is more easy just an ini file with something like...

[sendto]
some apps here with relative paths.

[quicklaunch]
more apps here with relative paths.

At least could be a smaller install...

As we said, it would most likely be easiest to just add an -enable -disable parameter to CAFE to make it a Convey Addon, which would basically keep it as a seperate app.

A suggestion would be, instead of having both apps opened (which means 2 tray icons), add an expandable section to the Convey tray menu, and in this section, put the CAFE tray menu.

Sorry if this wasnt a clear explanation, i'm a bit tired

I tried just some minutes ago... load convey as always (launching PStart), close convey (right-click -> exit) and it keeps the shortcuts in Quick Launch, removed those in Send To...

Then I manually launched Convey again and all shortcuts in Quick Launch just tilted... those in Send To appeared again...

I think Quick Launch Shortcuts should disappear when I close Convey...

Am I doing something wrong or is a bug?

An error in the original code allowed the user to add the same extension multiple times through the Extensions GUI, but if the user attempted to add a different extension without closing the window and reopening it, they recieved the "Extension already managed" error message.

Cafe now displays a message when the user attempts to create an association for an extension that is already managed. and from the Extensions GUI, the user can now add multiple extensions (one at a time, but without closing the window) without receiving the error message.

P.S. I havent added a check to not try and associate recycle bin and similar objects yet.

I was not sure where to post this, so I'll do it here. I was wondering if the commandprompt addon could be configured to use the command prompt portable that John made.

I have finished my mod of CAFE to a point where I feel it is ready for release. I posted a topic in the beta forums. Let me know if you find any bugs. Hope to see your version with the switches enabled for Convey soon.

Great to see them finally released. Excellent work, I'm testing them now. Sorry I didn't reply earlier, I went away on the same day you posted this, and sadly I was up the time you posted it, but my internet wasn't working. Oh well. Again, great job. Convey is better than sliced bread.

Is there a way to automatically organize the quicklaunch shortcuts in the quicklaunch bar? I would love to see FFPE show up in the "Top 3" shortcuts...

Here's a challenge for you ede , or maybe someone else might want to try it.

Ok, I'm gonna start this out with the simplest implementation , and then expand on it.

A "Mailto" link like the native one in Windows , only this one would be configurable to use your preferred mail client or web mail service (example: Gmail would open in FFPE with the file attached).

More Complex:

Instead of a "Mailto" link , a subfolder with Mailto links to specific addresses or groups of addresses (example: Gmail would open in FFPE with the file attached and the address(es) filled in). The first choice in the submenu should be "New Recipient" which would open a dialog where you would enter a name for the contact or group , and the address(es). The path and arguments would already be stored , and not have to be entered for a "New Recipient"

Even More Complex:

Instead of a subfolder of Mailto links, a subfolder of different email account subfolders with the Mailto links. Effectively , you could decide what account to send the mail from.

And Even More Complex

This one could probably be handled by cafe , but if the Convey addon could do it , then it would save having to configure another app. Take over the Mailto file association , and have it load the default account for the MailAddon or even better have it open a dialog to select which account to use (example: click on an email address in FFPE , it opens a dialog where you select the email account to use, then opens the app/page with the address filled in.

I'm sure it won't be easy but , anyone want to try it?

Since I'm using the quick launch addon I'm having a problem with normal plain convey...

When I remove my drive, it removes every shortcut in the quick launch bar but it keeps all of the send to menu... Is that a bug?

I'm thinking that it could be another problem... I use eject script, so I think that when I exit my PStart (and call to exit convey and run ejectscript), ejectscript kills convey before it removes the shortcuts... can that be possible?
