Slightly OT: EcoSqueeze Shell Extension

Nov 19, 2004 0 Replies

Hi all,



Since there seems to be so many people using ecoSqueeze, I decided to repost here my "addins" for ecosqueeze. They are actually a



registry files that adds two options to your explorers shell... yes there is shell option on ecosqueeze but it kinda limited. So



I wrote these:


formatting link
is the one you need)


So with rightclicking either on a folder or on a Drive you have two options on your shell:



EcoSqueeze (EcoSqueezes only the selected folder EcoSqueeze with subfolders (Ecosqueezes the selected folder & subfolders)



Installing is easy, just double click the installx.reg files (x marks the 1 & 2... 1 is for the ecosqueeze command and the 2 is for the subfolders command)



You can change those commands behavior by opening the reg files to your notepad and checking the commandline switches... Mayby



it´s best that you do it anyway to see if the setup is what you like. These are my preferred setting on the files. remember to do



the same modifications also to the uninstall files. This way, if you don´t like the shell extensions you can easily get rid of them.



also a little side note. by changing the name of the key (xeco_X), you can alter the commands position on the rmb shell menu



(it´s organized alphabetically)



Hope these help you

here´s the commandline switches also... hope that it´s OK.



The command line switches:



/p: Path, i.e.. /p:e:\Data\SolidWorks\New Files Don't add "" even if you path contains blanks /e: File extensions to defragment, i.e. .sld*;.doc;*.xl* /s Include subfolders /r Don't change the file's date and time stamp /v Verify (extra-save defragmenting, time consuming) /w Wait (displays the EcoSqueeze window and waits for the user to click on start) /t Delete temporary files. During defragmenting Windows creates numerous temporary files. If you want them to be deleted



after the defragmentation process is complete add this switch.



/i Remove SolidWorks preview image /L Remove SolidWorks display list /a Remove Parasolid stream


Example call with command line parameters: D:\Programs\EcoSqueeze\EcoSqueeze.exe /p: e:\Data\SolidWorks\New Files /e:*.sld* /s /r /v /t
