D&Do v. 1.0 Prev Next Top
These parameters define the number of tags, and for each one, its associated drop type and its hint text. A hint text and the drop type for untagged drops are also defined there.
- DN:
Defined number of tags. Its value is a digit character between 0 and 9; it represents the expected number of tags. Default value is 0; invalid characters are interpreted as 0. If BB:5 or BB:7, DN should be one or more.
- DH:
Drop help tip. If the first character is not a digit, its value is a short hint text that will be displayed on the target area when D&Do expects an untagged drop. Default value is "Drops". If the first character is a digit, that character represents the tag number. What follows is the short hint text that will be displayed on the target area when D&Do expects the drop that will be associated with that tag. The default value is "Not Defined" for every tag.
- DT:
Required drop type. If the first character is not a digit, its value represents the drop type for untagged drops; it may be either ANY, TXT, FIL, or DIR. If the first character is a number, that character represents the tag number. What follows represents the drop type for that tag. Default value is ANY. If the drop is not of the required type, D&Do will flash an error.
Example: Here is a typical set of drop identification parameters:
DN:2
DH: Extra Drop
DH:0 First Tag
DH:1 Second Tag
DT: ANY
DT:0 DIR
DT:1 FIL
This example represents the case where:
Two tags are defined
For non-tagged drops, the target area will display "Extra Drop" and it will accept any drop type (ANY)
For the first tag (index 0), the target area will display "ID= First Tag" and it will accept a directory drop only (DIR)
For the second tag (index 1), the target area will display "ID= Second Tag" and it will accepts a file drop only (FIL)
