Proposal of es to increase run-count as everything.exe

Post by loquat »

Thanks alot for this most wonderful software (not because it is free)!

I am right now rely more on es cmd line (to use it in emacs helm), and is using the latest beta 1.1.0.3a. Because I tend to use mostly es instead of everything, so it could be very nice if es also can update the run count increment into "Run History.csv" and so that the existing "-sort run-count" will be more practical.

Just a proposal from my usage experience and guess it might not be like by all other users, so another es parameter might be necessary though need clear description to avoid confusion of too much "run-count" similar parameters.

Added -set-run-count, -inc-run-count and -get-run-count to es 1.1.0.4a.

write for a record for others use both emacs and everything (es.exe)

Helm owner have a bellow commit in
https://github.com/emacs-helm/helm/comm ... b5d8e5d4b8
*****************************************************************************************************************
(defun helm-find-many-files (_ignore)
+ "Simple action that run `find-file' on marked candidates.
+Run `helm-find-many-files-after-hook' at end"
(let ((helm--reading-passwd-or-string t))
- (mapc 'find-file (helm-marked-candidates))))
+ (mapc 'find-file (helm-marked-candidates))
+ (helm-log-run-hook 'helm-find-many-files-after-hook)))
*****************************************************************************************************************

so the function in the helm-find-many-files-after-hook can be as:
(defun xxx-helm-find-many-files-after-hook ()
(when (and (equal (cdar (helm-get-current-source)) "Locate") (eq 'windows-nt system-type))
(mapc 'xxx-helm-find-file (helm-marked-candidates))))

(defun xxx-helm-find-file (filename)
(shell-command (concat "C:\\es -inc-run-count " (convert-standard-filename filename))))
