Always-there bar

This is a script that place an item (in the video a panel) always on top of the screen. Scroll down the desktop to show it. Scroll up to hide.

Pierre Hébert: you did it.

I’m not sure how, but with the synchronous scripts…all is beautiful 😀 Thanks!

Luckily I made a demonstration video with the 9.9.9 version. Another one with 9.9.10

I’m sure you will find the difference 😉 The change is awesome!

Instructions:

– Copy paste this script as a new one.

– IMPORTANT: you need to label “always-bar” the item you want to move

– Pin that item and detach it from the grid

– Set the script in the position change event of the desktop

Settings: you can change the velocity of scrolling. Just modify the numbers at the beggining of the script, nothing more

———————————

/*Settings */

//this number means the velocity of showing/hidding respectively

//1 is the default ( like the desktop ) the bigger, the faster (avoid negative numbers, between (0,1) will be slower )

var vs = 2;//show

var vh = 0.5;//hide

var cont = LL.getEvent().getContainer();

//item to move

var bar = cont.getItemByLabel(“always-bar”);

if(bar==null){alert(“Warning: no item with label ‘always-bar’ found.”);return;}

/* current position

// in case don’t exist

//difference

//save

*/

var contpos = cont.getPositionY();

var prev = parseInt(bar.getTag());

var d = contpos-prev;

bar.setTag(contpos);

var barpos = bar.getPositionY();

var size=bar.getScaleY() * bar.getHeight();

var posx=bar.getPositionX();

/*hide the bar */

if(d>0 && barpos>-size){

if(barpos-d*vh<-size || barpos<-size){

bar.setPosition(posx,-size);

}else{

bar.setPosition(posx,barpos-d*vh);

}

}

/*show the bar */

if(d<0 && barpos<0){

if(barpos-d*vs>0 || barpos>0){

bar.setPosition(posx,0);

}else{

bar.setPosition(posx,barpos-d*vs);

}

}

Visual folder

This script will automatically detect the position of an item (detached or not) relatively from the actual screen, and then apply it to a folder.

You need to run it from the long click menu. (It will detect if the item is a folder or not)

The data is saved and applied once.

Instructions:

– Copy paste this script, check the ‘show in item menu’

– Place an item (not a folder) and change their size as you want, relative to the screen itself, not the desktop (you can be far away from the main page)

– Run the script. The position/size will be saved.

– Run the script in a folder. Apply.

(- Now you can delete the previous item if you want.)

{Improved thanks to TBog suggestion}

———————————–

var item = LL.getEvent().getItem();

var desk = LL.getEvent().getContainer() || LL.getCurrentDesktop();

if(item.getType()==”Folder”){

    if(!(“visualFolder” in self)){alert(“No data found\nYou need to run the script from a non-folder first to save data”); return;}

    if(!confirm(“Folder detected. Would you like to apply the saved data?”) )return;

    

    item.getProperties().edit().

    setString(“f.wAH”,”CUSTOM”).

    setString(“f.wAV”, “CUSTOM”).

    setInteger(“f.wX”, self.visualFolder[0] ).

    setInteger( “f.wY”, self.visualFolder[1] ).

    setInteger( “f.wW”, self.visualFolder[2] ).

    setInteger( “f.wH”, self.visualFolder[3] ).

    commit();

    Android.makeNewToast(“Data applied”,false).show();

}else{

    self.visualFolder=[];

    

    self.visualFolder[0] = item.getPositionX()-desk.getPositionX();

    self.visualFolder[1] = item.getPositionY()-desk.getPositionY();

    self.visualFolder[2] = item.getWidth()*item.getScaleX();

    self.visualFolder[3] = item.getHeight()*item.getScaleY();

    Android.makeNewToast(“Saved data. Run the script on a folder to apply”,false).show();

‘Multi Container bookmark’

This script will make a script that will set the position of all panels inside the desktop/folder in wich it was launched. [Not very difficult to understand, but you need to know how functions work.]

Instructions:

-Copy/paste this script as a new one. Check the ‘Appear in ligthning menu’ and/or ‘item menu’.

-Go to the desktop/folder, place all panels ( and the desktop/folder) as you want and run the script. [smoothly here means not instantly]

-Copy the output script and paste it as a new one.

Now you just need to launch that script.

You can comment suggestions, problems…

var parent = LL.getEvent().getContainer() || LL.getCurrentDesktop();

if(parent.getId()==-1)parent=LL.getCurrentDesktop();

while( parent.getType()!=”Desktop” && parent.getOpener().getType()!=”Folder”){

    parent = parent.getParent();

}

function run(cont){

    var str = “LL.getContainerById(“+

    cont .getId() + “).setPosition(“+

    cont .getPositionX()+”,”+

    cont .getPositionY()+”,”+

    cont .getPositionScale()+”,”+animations+”);\n”;

    var items = cont.getItems();

    for(var i=items.getLength()-1;i>=0;–i){

        if(items.getAt(i).getType()==”Panel”){str+=run(items.getAt(i).getContainer() );}

    }

    return str;

}

var animations = confirm(“Do you want to go smoothly? (not instantly)”);

prompt(“Script to use: Copy, paste and run”,run(parent));
