Title: Mass add tooltype
Post by: CSixx on June 05, 2011, 02:40:07 AM

Does anyone know of a program that will help me add a tooltype to all .info files in a directory (including sub-dirs)?

Reason:
My A1200 requires the NoCache tooltype on all whdload games and for some irritating reason, this tooltype is not available globally. I need to add it to all the games individually.

I obviously don't want to overwrite any tooltypes that are already set, I just want to append the NoCache tooltype to whatever is already there.

Hopefully there's an automated way to do this. I looked on AmiNet and nothing jumped out at me.

Thanks
C6

Just set it in S:WHDLoad.prefs
At least, I think NOCACHE is one of the options you can use there.

Nope, it's not able to be set in the global WHDLoad prefs...

Drat, I thought for sure it did.

I noticed a few things on Aminet: http://aminet.net/search?query=tooltype
IconPrgs, TTEditor, TTManager35c, and ViewT look promising. If the programs themselves don't iterate through directories, you could probably set up a DOS script that does it for you...

I couldn't find anything to do this easily, so I wrote something myself.

Incase it helps anyone else, you can dl it here:
