Unclearity in file gadgets/getfile.h

Post by OldFart »

Hi,

In this file the tags for said gadget are defined, however a few relatively recently added ones feel a bit incomplete

Code: Select all

# define GETFILE_FilePartOnly            (GETFILE_Dummy+23)
    /* (BOOL) display file part only - valid ONLY in readonly mode! */

Code: Select all

# define GETFILE_InitialShowVolumes      (GETFILE_Dummy+26)
    /* (BOOL) Show volumes initially. (V53.10) */
What are the default values here?

** EDIT: **
The AutoDocs on this subject state the following:

Code: Select all

	GETFILE_FilePartOnly (BOOL)
	    Return the file part only when in read only mode.

	    Defaults to FALSE.

	    Applicability is (OM_NEW, OM_SET)
So THAT one is solved, but hey the AutoDocs make no mention of the the final 2 tags as mentioned in the header file:

Code: Select all

GETFILE_FilterHook

Code: Select all

GETFILE_InitialShowVolumes

What version of the SDK do you have? Both tags are documented in my SDK 54.16, and even in an older SDK 53.29 I had lying around.

Best regards,

@nbache

This snippet is from the headerfile in question:

Code: Select all

/*
**    $VER: getfile.h 53.29 (10.8.2015)
**
**    Definitions for the getfile.gadget BOOPSI class

EDIT:
I'm sorry for the inconvenience. Switched to the latest version now...

The AutoDocs on the subject is the online version (which, in my opinion, is horrendously organised).

Hmm - I'm not sure who, if anybody, is maintaining the Wiki copy of those docs.

I'd suggest always referring to the SDK in the latest available version, if in doubt.

Best regards,
