Re: couple more @ code requests?
By: Finglonger to digital man on Mon Apr 28 2025 07:14 pm
Hello, was trying to do a few things in the menus and have maybe a couple requests for future versions?
I'm trying to add the following into a menu:
total messages in area: @msgs@
The MSGS @-code is already supported (in v3.20e and later).
msgs numbered: @SMB_LOW_MSG@ to @SMB_HIGH_MSG@
new msgs in area: @SMB_NEW_MSG@
The SMB_* @-codes only work when a message base is *open* (e.g. for reading). What is the context in which you want to use these @-codes?
Maybe these exist and I'm just missing them in the docs?
Also a similar "new files in area" for file areas?
It takes time to open a message or file base and determine how many are new, so expect a visible delay when using such @-codes if/when added.
BTW, feature requests should be submitted here:
