Looking for the program 'leftmousebutton', or help with Dopus4 issue

[rvo_nl]

I'm using my old Diropus 4 config from many years back, and noticed I'm missing the program called 'leftmousebutton'. This small program would wait with returning to Diropus until I uhm, pressed the left mouse button..
 
I needed this because after configuring a button to do a c:version of a certain file, it jumped back to Diropus immediately instead of enabling me to read the output.
 
(I hope this description is clear enough)
 
So to solve this I have 2 options:
 
1) find that program 'leftmousebutton' to run straight after doing a c:version {f}
 
2) find another way to keep the output window of the version command on screen until I close it
 
I prefer option 2.. cant be that hard?

This what you're looking for?

There were quite a few of these little cli commands, this is one I have found on aminet for you.

Not sure about DOpus4, but in DOpus5 there is a checkbox to wait until the window is closed.

I started using VersionWB a few months ago. It's great for DOpus! Closes the window when you want, you can get versions of multiple files with fewer clicks, and it doesn't get confused by different versions on disk vs. in memory.

As Thomas alrteady pointed out, you don't need external programs to do that. Go to ConfigOpus and edit your button.  The field "close delay" determines how many seconds the shell window will stay open once the external command has finished. Enter "-1" here and the window will only be closed once you press the left mouse button.

Download this package from Aminet:

It contains a bunch of ARexx scripts. One of them is called "WinVersion", it will display the version number of the selected file(s) in a standard DOpus requester.

Fantastic, I knew it would be something simple as this. It worked. Will check out the archive aswell!
