Topic: I want to insert file number "n of N"
Q: I have several files and i want help the user to choose them in the right sequence. Can I do this with Siren?
I have this three file and the user should execute them as
Prepare.cmd first, then Setup.exe and at last Finish.vbs
But if i ship this files the are sorted in Explorer like
Finish.vbs
Prepare.cmd
Setup.exe
Can i sort them in some way to aid the user?
A: Surly you can.
Use Ctr+B to choose your directory. Single click on it and choose OK
You can use the filter combo box to see only files you want to. (like here *.cmd;*.exe;*.vbs)
Select the files in that order YOU want :
First Prepare.cmd
Second Setup.exe
Third Finish.vbs
Use the EXPRESSION: Step %n of %ns %f
RESULT:
Step 001 of 003 Prepare.cmd
Step 002 of 003 Setup.exe
Step 003 of 003 Finish.vbs
EXPLANATION:
%n : the selection number (there is more, please read the help)
%ns : the number of selected files
%f : the file name without the path but with extension
What?
You expected something like
Step 1 of 3 Prepare.cmd
Step 2 of 3 Setup.exe
Step 3 of 3 Finish.vbs
OK!
Just go to the options (File menu > Options)
and there in the "Numbers" section.
Just decrease the "Size"-digit in the "Selection number" section from '3' to '1'.
Press the F1-key while you are in Siren to read more about.
