Try it

EDIT - New version!!! *bugfixed*

no

[Edit] Ah, now you've said what it is I think I will.

tells me it can't be loaded because it's incompatible with this version of Windows (XP SP2) or with this version of BlackBox (bbLean 1.16 - no mod).

Something I need to tweak, or is this not a supported config?

EDIT:

never mind - that error was the result of a "Stupid User Trick."

I do have a suggestion however. When the .rc file is populated with the session info, the plugin pads the "menu text" with %20 to expand spaces the same as it does the command strings. Would look a bit nicer if it didn't do that.

Thanks!

Trying to load it under xoblite crashed the shell. Which branch are you using yourself, and which Blackbox.lib is BBPutty compiled with?

EDIT: Please note that I did not edit any of the files before loading it, so maybe the faulty paths is what's crashing it. If so, it shouldn't, but I haven't had time to try tracking the bug yet.

Didn't really work for me (bbLean 1.16). But it did give me lots of crashes...

Didn't work here neither. It just crash.

Please try to fix it :>

Once I got it working, I had a problem (shell crash) when I tried to unload it.

First - another suggestion for s0rg: In addition to the "space issue" I mentioned earlier, it would be nice to have an 'ignore' list we could put in the bbputty.rc file. I don't necessarily want all of my sessions listed in what I think of as a "quick launch" menu.

Now - some information that may help others. Be aware that there are two rc files for this extension. One comes in the zip distribution. Inside it, you need to put the (short) path to the PuTTY executable, and the path to the second .rc file. This additional file will be created automatically when the plugin loads. It holds the data that gets pulled into your menu by the suggested entry given in the readme.

Hope this helps a bit...

I fix it!

Thanks s0rg. Fixed the problem I was having unloading the plugin.

However, I've discovered that the problem with "spaces" goes farther than I initially thought. When a session name has spaces in it and bbPuTTY converts those to "%20" in the .rc file, it not only doesn't look pretty, it doesn't work. Looks like PuTTY wants the spaces left in place, and the session name enclosed in quotes.

For example, in the .rc file:
Should instead be:
Hope this makes sense.

Thanks sOrg, I've uploaded it to the plugins page -> http://xoblite.net/plugins.html

2 txGreg - i fixed it! (sorry, i dont notice your first post)

new version - 0.0.5 is here!

2 all - feel free to send me or post here you suggestions and bug reports!

No Problem - as you can see, I just now noticed your response.

Anyway, looks like that fixed the issue I was seeing in regards to spaces in session names. I'll keep using it, and let you know if I come up with anything else.

Thanks!

OK - me again. I think I found another small bug. I have not "rolled back" to an earlier release, so I'm not sure if this is new or if it's something I overlooked previously.

If I have a session name with parenthesis in it, this seems to be confusing blackbox(?) when the putty sub-menu gets displayed. This might be a simple one to solve for people who know more about the bb menu system than I do. some examples might help...

example session name:

gets put into the .rc file as:

and shows up in the "visible menu" text as:


I'm guessing there needs to be some way (escape char?) to get blackbox to ignore that first close parenthesis. Note that this is only a visual problem (and a minor one at that). It does not seem to impair the functionality of bbPuTTY.

Am I missing something here? In the putty.rc file referenced in the bbputty.rc file, what exactly am I supposed to put in there?? I'm confused! The readme says only to call that file in the menu.rc... What IS the file? What does it do? Any help appreciated..

Nevermind, it appears to be autocreated.. Stupid me! Awesome plugin, no longer do I have to Right Click>Apps>Putty>Sugardeath

Winkey+I for the win.
