Tomasz,
For
manipulating [moving, etc.] I’ve been pretty frustrated trying to make do with
the Charts tab.
Your ”Specialized
Windows Explorer” fails me on two counts:
--Can’t do
multiple-formula moves or deletes.
--IMO rename
should be relabeled ‘Make Blank Pane’
Regards,
Bob

Formula Editor from custom button
Hello,
Yes it does move all files to designated folder
AND adjusts all references
in
charts so they are linked to new location.
> If
so, that is not what I want to do,
Why
not? You *should* want that because otherwise ALL exiting charts would
become
BLANK (as AB won't be able to find files already used in charts).
As for
opening files from different folder:
the
philosophy is that you should have ALL formulas inside
"Formulas"
directory (in one of subfolders of it).
If so,
why don't you use just formula tree to open any file conveniently using RIGHT
CLICK MENU??
http://www.amibroker.com/guide/m_formulacontext.html
Formula (chart) context menu
Formula (chart) context menu shows up
when you click with RIGHT mouse button over formula listed in the Charts
tab of Workspace pane (see picture on the left)
Available choices:
·
Insert - inserts selected indicator into new chart pane.
Insert command internally creates a copy of the
original formula file and places such copy into hidden drag-drop folder so
original formula will not be affected by subsequent editing or overlaying other
indicators onto it.
Double clicking on formula name is equivalent with choosing Insert command from
the menu.
·
Insert Linked - inserts selected indicator into new chart pane directly
(i.e. linked to original).
Insert Linked command does not create any copy of the
formula. Instead it creates new chart pane that directly links to original
formula. This way subsequent editing and/or overlaying other indicators will
modify the original
·
Overlay - overlay selected indicator onto selected chart pane
Overlay command internally appends additional code to the formula used by the
chart pane. If given chart pane was created usign Insert Linked, it will modify
original (linked) formula.
·
Analysis - show up Automatic Analysis window and pick selected
formula
·
Edit - open Formula Editor
window to edit selected formula
·
Rename - rename currently selected formula file
·
Delete - delete currently selected formula file
·
New
o Formula - creates new formula file in currently
selected folder
o Folder - creates new subfolder under currently
selected folder
·
Refresh - re-reads Formula directory and re-display formula tree
Best regards,
Tomasz Janeczko
