Use context menu button triggers and their respective (dlSelection/lgSelection) methods

b) and function that return all subfolders and a function return files in dir

Use 'filePath' methods.

You can use the regex to only match file name string. To check if file exists, you have to use 'flilePath.exists()' method.

Get the contents of the folder using 'filePath.getChildren()' method and filter them using your pattern. This will eliminate the need for file exists check, since it will return only the contents which exist on the disk.

thanks master!

Is there a way to move selected file or package from Downloads back to LinkGrabber?

Also would like to move finished files from the selected package to (original packageName + 'DONE')

[zreenmkr]

//@mgpai
//Packagizer Alt Filters
// Trigger: Packagizer Hook

var fn = link.getName();
var pn;

if (!pn && /birds|elephant/.test(fn)) pn = "animals";
if (!pn && /bmw|honda|tesla/.test(fn)) pn = "cars";
if (!pn && /.*\.(pdf|epub|mobi)$/.test(fn)) pn = "ebooks";

if (pn) link.setPackageName(pn);

When you brought up there is a possibility to exit out once a matched found. I thought a script that catches Packagizer rules return true then exit out.

So, what is really happening behind the scene? Are all normal rules in Packagizer get executed first then finish up with this script? I'm not complaining, just trying to understand (:

Cannot move as such. You can use a script to add them again to linkgrabber (will trigger crawling/linkchecking etc, just like when new links are added) and then delete them from download list using the same script. Can also break mirror detection and extraction, so you have to check the status of links before moving them.

Also would like to move finished files from the selected package to (original packageName + 'DONE')

While possible, moving can break mirror detection, extraction etc. Also, mirrors which are marked as 'finished' do not trigger "download stopped" event, and hence will have to be moved manually.

It is better to rename the package after it is finished. Just use the rename method and append your custom string to it.

Are all normal rules in Packagizer get executed first then finish up with this script?

Packagizer hook has a 'state' property, which will allow it run before or after packagizer rules are applied.

if(state == "BEFORE"){
    //run this code before packagizer rules are applied
}

if(state = "AFTER"){
    //run this code before packagizer rules are applied
}

Without the condition, the script will be executed twice. Once before packagizer rules are applied and once more after that.

While the script can do a lot of things which the packagizer extension cannot, I use both. For simple tasks I use the extension and for features missing from the extension, I use a script.

thanks again for the insight.

do you have the reference of all the jd functions glossary or is it documented? I looked up on wiki but couldn't find it.

Click 'Show/Hide Help' in the script editor window main menu to list all the available methods. In some cases some context specific methods will be listed only after you have set/selected the event trigger for the script.

just learned I do have a blind spot!

(dlSelection/lgSelection) methods

Can't get name of the Select File in LinkGrabber.

var getDlSel = lgSelection.getDownloadLink.getName();
alert(getDlSel);

//return error: ReferenceError: 'lgSelection' is not defined

// Linkgrabber context menu button pressed demo

if (name == "LG context menu demo") {
    var myLinkgrabberSelection = lgSelection;
    var myCrawledLink = myLinkgrabberSelection.getContextLink();

    if (myCrawledLink) alert(myCrawledLink.getName());
}

[zreenmkr]

var myCrawledLink = myLinkgrabberSelection.getContextLink();

cool, how to send myCrawledLink.getName() to clipboard?

tried w/o luck: myCrawledLink.getName().execCommand("copy")

The 'execCommand' is a browser environment method. There are no eventscripter enviroment methods which can be used to copy content to the clipboard.

You can customize your context menu and add/configure "Copy Information" item and format the variables which you want to be copied to the clipboard when you click it.

[zreenmkr]

oh ok, that's too bad.

as far as debugging goes. alert() is the only other method other than writeFile()

You can also use the 'log' method. Unlike 'writeFile' you do not have to specify the output file. It will be logged to the default file in 'JD\logs' folder.

log(myObject[]);/*Log to stderr and to JDownloader Log Files*/

In lieu of console in eventscripter, you can load the log file or your custom file in notepad++ and enable its auto-update/scroll to end on update feature.

thanks.

Why 'i' is global var in this scenario? Shouldn't 'i' is local in _getLists()? notice 'i' got overwrites each time it returns from func being called.

//init
var pkgs = getAllFilePackages();
var count = 0;
for (i = 0; i < pkgs.length; i++) {
      var pkg = pkgs[i];
      _getLists(pkg);
      count +=1;
      if (count > 5) break;
}
 alert('pkg count:'+i+'/'+pkgs.length); //THIS i increment got reassigned to the i in _getLists()

//function
function _getLists(pkg) {
   var lists = pkg.getDownloadLinks();
   var kount = 0;
   for (i = 0; i < lists.length; i++) {
      var list = lists[i];
      kount +=1;
      if (kount > 2) break;
   }
      alert('list count:'+i+'/'+lists.length);
}

Assigning a value to a variable which has not been declared will automatically make it 'global'. (Use "var i = 0" instead of "i = 0").

Nested functions have access to 'local' variables declared in their outer scope. So, in nested functions, it is better to use variable names which have not already been used in the outer scope.

[zreenmkr]

That explained it. The only other thing i did try was declaring var in outer scope ONLY which also failed.

[zreenmkr]

Is it a good common practice to use non-constant global var between functions instead of passing it?

[zreenmkr]

Click 'Show/Hide Help' in the script editor window main menu to list all the available methods. In some cases some context specific methods will be listed only after you have set/selected the event trigger for the script.

I'm unable to find reference in help for dlSelection/lgSelection nor getContextLink() mentioned. name, link, package and among other are also documented.

Once you select a trigger, properties returned by that trigger will be listed at the bottom of the page and their corresponding methods will be listed separately further up on the same page.

[zreenmkr]

got it.

// Get Selected packageName
// Trigger : "DownloadList Contextmenu Button Pressed"

if (name == "Get Selected packageName") {
    try {
        var selected = dlSelection.getContextLink();
        var package = selected.getPackage();

        if (selected) alert(selectedPackage + ': ' + package );

    } catch (e) {
        alert('error: Right-Click on <fileName> & try again.');
    }
}

Only able to get package name by right click on file name but can't seem to find a function that get package name on selected package.
