Ciao TonyM
In trying to think through what would be useful for my use case I wrote a
crude batch file that launches Mark's PS1 script ...
You will be able to inderstand it. It *won't generalise* as is as the *settings
are currently hard coded* (but you can modify them at the start of the file
if you want to test what it does).
---
After experimentation I determined that for the "Restore" method (I
provisionally named "Nine-Lives" following a suggestion from Mark) I'd
optimally want *on startup*...
1 -- to see a listing of my wiki(s);
2 -- to see a listing of files in the "downloads" folder (all .html &
.htm)
3 -- a way to alter the settings interactively (done crudely at the
moment by opening the PS1 script in a text editor)
I thought you'd be interested. This is NOT meant to be anything but a set
of rough ideas.
I'm not sure that having a batch file in addition to a Powershell script is
ideal. But its all I'm capable of. I think a single PS script would be
best. Maybe with at BAT merely to ease launching it?
It invokes a very slightly modified version of Mark's PS1 script (which I
will post seperately). The BAT & PS1 go in the same directory, which can be
anywhere.
Take a look ... any thoughts?
