I feel that you are talking past each other =)
So, I'll try to sum up all the things that @snotlicker said.

@regor , as it was mentioned above, in quite a few programming languages (and even in RegExp and windows command line) `\` character is used as an escape character or to form a control character. For example, `\n` is a control character for a new line, `\"` - escape the quote character.
Values that can be seen in property dialog have all the escape chars and control chars parsed.

So, in JS (and SMP) it will work like this:

Code: [Select]

window.SetProperty("escape_1", "\"");
console.log(window.GetProperty("escape_1"));  // Logged and displayed in Property dialog as `"`

window.SetProperty("escape_2", "\\");
console.log(window.GetProperty("escape_2"));  // Logged and displayed as `\`

window.SetProperty("path_1", "path\\to\\file.ext");
console.log(window.GetProperty("path_1")); // Logged and displayed as `path\to\file.ext`

window.SetProperty("path_2", "path/to/file.ext");
console.log(window.GetProperty("path_2")); // Logged and displayed as `path/to/file.ext`

window.SetProperty("control_1", "line_1\nline_2");
console.log(window.GetProperty("control_1")); 
// Logged as:
// `line_1
// line_2`
// displayed as:
// `line_1line_2`

Thus, path strings in JS code should be either like this `path/to/file.ext` or like this `path\\to\\file.ext` .

let app = new ActiveXObject('Shell.Application');
function _recycleFile(file) {
	if (_isFile(file)) {
		app.NameSpace(10).MoveHere(file);
	}
}

let fso = new ActiveXObject('Scripting.FileSystemObject');
let recyclePath = "c:\\$RECYCLE.BIN\\" + app.NameSpace(10) + "\\" + file.FILENAME;
let restorePath = file.PATH;
fso.MoveFile(recyclePath , restorePath );

I've tried looking through the documentation but I'm not getting any wiser so I thought I'd ask here.

I want to make a button that switches between shuffle track and default playback that works like how the play/pause button in the sample "playback buttons", anyone have any suggestions on how to make it work?

Code: [Select]

			if (plman.PlaybackOrder === 4){
				fb.RunMainMenuCommand("Playback/Order/Default");
			} else {
				fb.RunMainMenuCommand("Playback/Order/Shuffle (tracks)");
			}

That code worked to switch, thanks a lot.
I have to ask for more help though, sadly. I want to swap icon based on which order is active, how do I add that?

function on_paint(gr){
	let img_path;
	if (plman.PlaybackOrder === 4){
		img_path = //path to the default icon image
	} else {
		img_path = //path to the shuffle icon image
	}		
	let img = gdi.Image(img_path)
	gr.GdiDrawBitmap(img.CreateRawBitmap(), dstX, dstY, dstW, dstH, srcX, srcY, srcW, srcH)
}

Well, you can use the plman.PlaybackOrder property to write a conditional statement for that, too, much in the same way as above. To keep it simple, if you are using actual images:

Code: [Select]

function on_paint(gr){
	let img_path;
	if (plman.PlaybackOrder === 4){
		img_path = //path to the default icon image
	} else {
		img_path = //path to the shuffle icon image
	}		
	let img = gdi.Image(img_path)
	gr.GdiDrawBitmap(img.CreateRawBitmap(), dstX, dstY, dstW, dstH, srcX, srcY, srcW, srcH)
}

If you are using font icon characters the principle is the same.

buttons.buttons.shuffle = new _button(2, 2, 32, 32, {normal : 'buttons\\Menu.png'}, (x, y) => { if (plman.PlaybackOrder === 4){ fb.RunMainMenuCommand("Playback/Order/Default"); } else { fb.RunMainMenuCommand("Playback/Order/Shuffle (tracks)"); } }, 'Shuffle');

I think I'm too dumb for this, the current thing I use is this:

Code: [Select]

buttons.buttons.shuffle = new _button(2, 2, 32, 32, {normal : 'buttons\\Menu.png'}, (x, y) => { if (plman.PlaybackOrder === 4){ fb.RunMainMenuCommand("Playback/Order/Default"); } else { fb.RunMainMenuCommand("Playback/Order/Shuffle (tracks)"); } }, 'Shuffle');

Maybe I should just look for another skin that has this function and see how they did it because I can't figure this out. When I add the function I get image is null.

{normal : 'buttons\\Menu.png'}

I see, you're editing marc's script! I thought you were writing your own code. That makes it a little more complicated because you need to look at the code of at least three different scripts to understand where and how to edit (playback buttons, helpers and panel I think). I don't use it and I'm not familiar with it, but in that line of code you posted, the button image is likely passed by the fith argument of the _button() function, which is an object:

Code: [Select]

{normal : 'buttons\\Menu.png'}

So first of all you need to have the required image files in the buttons folder and than you could try replacing "menu" with a variable and assign that variable the appropriate value with the conditional statement I suggested in the previous post. You could write the conditional statement in the on_playback_order_changed() callback, for example. But really, I would need to have a better look at the scripts before suggesting anything.

So you recommend I start from scratch instead?

buttons.buttons.shuffle = new _button(2, 2, 32, 32, {normal : plman.PlaybackOrder === 4 ? 'buttons\\deafult.png' : 'buttons\\shuffle.png'}, (x, y) => { if (plman.PlaybackOrder === 4){ fb.RunMainMenuCommand("Playback/Order/Default"); } else { fb.RunMainMenuCommand("Playback/Order/Shuffle (tracks)"); } }, 'Shuffle');

function on_playback_order_changed(){
	buttons.update();
	window.Repaint();
}

buttons.buttons.shuffle = new _button(2, 2, 32, 32, {normal : plman.PlaybackOrder === 4 ? 'buttons\\deafult.png' : 'buttons\\shuffle.png'}, (x, y) => plman.PlaybackOrder === 4 ? fb.RunMainMenuCommand("Playback/Order/Default") : fb.RunMainMenuCommand("Playback/Order/Shuffle (tracks)"), 'shuffle');

P.S.
While we are at it, you can use the ternary operator ('?' and ':') for the conditional statement of the command as well:

Code: [Select]

buttons.buttons.shuffle = new _button(2, 2, 32, 32, {normal : plman.PlaybackOrder === 4 ? 'buttons\\deafult.png' : 'buttons\\shuffle.png'}, (x, y) => plman.PlaybackOrder === 4 ? fb.RunMainMenuCommand("Playback/Order/Default") : fb.RunMainMenuCommand("Playback/Order/Shuffle (tracks)"), 'shuffle');

Check if the path ends with .cue or use title formatting for embedded cuesheets %__cue_embedded% equals yes

If cue is external (i.e. not embedded), you may also try checking FbMetadbHandle.SubSong, it seems to be above zero only when it's a multi-track file.

But restoring the file becomes a problem. I can not find a way to move files from the bin to the original folder.  I use the Move method with this, something like this

How do you save a playlist to a path? I found nothing about that on the documentation only SavePlaylist() and using a main menu command I can not add the path.

Any help there would be appreciated too.

Thanks!

Well just found the problem is the (physical) name gets changed by the SO after sending a file to the Recycle Bin, so "a.txt" is changed to "$K4354A.txt" or things like that, while the explorer displays the original (virtual) name. I have now to list all files on the bin and identify the one I deleted, will report if that works for restoring purposes.

let dir = app.NameSpace(10);
let items = dir.Items();

// Regretfully, `dir.Items()` is not enumerable, so it must be traversed manually
for (let i = 0; i < items.Count; ++i) {
   console.log(items.Item(i).Name); // original name
   console.log(items.Item(i).Path); // full path in recycle bin
}

How do you save a playlist to a path? I found nothing about that on the documentation only SavePlaylist() and using a main menu command I can not add the path.

Also, is there some method to create a simple yes/no popupBox without using HTML?

@Qwertiest
I've added some info. on issue 'ActiveXObject error when dealing with exotic filename encodings #54' on github. Hope this helped. If you need further info. please let me know.

let WshShell = new ActiveXObject('WScript.Shell');

let popup = {
	ok : 0,
	yes_no : 4,
	yes : 6,
	no : 7,
	stop : 16,
	question : 32,
	info : 64
};

let prompt = ...
let caption = ...

if (WshShell.Popup(prompt, 0, caption, popup.question + popup.yes_no) == popup.yes) {
	//do something
}

const fso = new ActiveXObject('Scripting.FileSystemObject');
const app = new ActiveXObject('Shell.Application');

function _isFile(file) {
	return _.isString(file) ? fso.FileExists(file) : false;
}

}

function _createFolder(folder) {
	if (!_isFolder(folder)) {
		try {
			fso.CreateFolder(folder);
		} catch (e) {
			return false;
		}
		return _isFolder(folder);
	}
	return false;
}

function _deleteFile(file) {
	if (_isFile(file)) {
		try {
			fso.DeleteFile(file);
		} catch (e) {
			return false;
		}
		return !(_isFile(file));
	}
	return false;
}

function _renameFile(file, newFilePath) {
	if (!_isFile(newFilePath) {
		if (_isFile(file)) {
			try {
				fso.MoveFile(file, newFilePath);
			} catch (e) {
				return false;
			}
			return _isFile(newFilePath);
		}
		return false;
	}
	return false;
}

function _recycleFile(file) {
	if (_isFile(file)) {
		try {
			app.NameSpace(10).MoveHere(file);
		} catch (e) {
			return false;
		}
		return !(_isFile(file));
	}
	return false;
}

function _restoreFile(file) {
	if (!_isFile(file)) {
		const arr = utils.FileTest(file, "split");
		const OriginalFileName = arr[1];
		const items = app.NameSpace(10).Items();
		const numItems = items.Count;
		for (let i = 0; i < numItems; i++) {

	} else {
		console.log('_restoreFile(): Can not restore file to "' + file + '" since there is already another file at the same path.');
		return false;
	}
}

let arr = utils.FileTest("D:\\Somedir\\Somefile.txt", "split")
// arr[1] <= "Somefile.txt" extension included (?)

let arr = utils.FileTest("D:\\Somedir\\Somefile.txt", "split");
// arr[0] <= "D:\\Somedir\\" (always includes backslash at the end)
// arr[1] <= "Somefile"
// arr[2] <= ".txt"

Simple popups are already possible and have been in my samples for years.

Code: [Select]

let WshShell = new ActiveXObject('WScript.Shell');

let popup = {
	ok : 0,
	yes_no : 4,
	yes : 6,
	no : 7,
	stop : 16,
	question : 32,
	info : 64
};

let prompt = ...
let caption = ...

if (WshShell.Popup(prompt, 0, caption, popup.question + popup.yes_no) == popup.yes) {
	//do something
}

edit: see here for other button combos I've not included
