I was just wondering, if i am doing something wrong or if the commands if exist and find are really not working with folder names?

background:
With the great effort of Steve6375 and Chenall, now we are able to make dynamically titles (iftitle).
I want to hide the submenu entry in the main.kst completely, if the a specific directory isnt on the root.
Below i am gonna post the mentioned part of the menu files, and how i solved this issue with the dummy files.
I would prefer to do that without this annoying dummy files.

[menu.lst]



iftitle [find --set-root /boot/Images/Live/dummy] Live Systems

configfile /boot/grub/menu_live.lst



iftitle [find --set-root /boot/Images/AntiVir/dummy] AntiVirus / RescueSystems

configfile /boot/grub/menu_AntiVir.lst



iftitle [find --set-root /boot/Images/Tools/dummy] Tools

configfile /boot/grub/menu_tools.lst



title Windows Installation

configfile /boot/grub/menu_win.lst

[menu_live.lst]

iftitle [find --set-root /boot/Images/Live/kolibri.iso] KolibriOS 0.7.7.0

find --set-root /boot/Images/Live/kolibri.iso

map /boot/Images/Live/kolibri.iso (0xff) || map --mem /boot/Images/Live/kolibri.iso (0xff)

map --hook

chainloader (0xff)

[steve6375]

find --set-root does not work in that it does not set the root. Just use find (file) and then use find --set-root (file) in the command list.
Can you post the menu that does not work...

[steve6375]

OK - I just tried it and it does not work unless you rename the menu file and remove the underscore! I have reported the issue.

[tefole]

You again steve
Let me try to clarify if we are really talking about the same thing.

Actually everything is working fine. Honestly i had no problems with the underscore.
Probably you found another bug; good for us

Whats working:

iftitle [find --set-root /boot/Images/Live/dummy] Live Systems

configfile /boot/grub/menu_live.lstWhats not working:

Whats not working:

iftitle [find --set-root /boot/Images/Live/] Live Systems

configfile /boot/grub/menu_live.lst

the Difference:
The working example is with a file name, the non-working is with a folder name.
I tried this as well with iftitle[if exist ....]. Same result.
It seems, that u are not able to look for a folder with find or if exist.

workaround:
i put in every folder a 0-byte dummyfile and used this as a trigger

[steve6375]

The commands look for a file. A folder is not a file. I don't understand why you would want to look for a folder and then load a menu from a different folder anyway...???

[sambul61]

Could you explain, what exact functionality was added to Grub4DOS? From your 1-st post it looks like one may have several Menu.lst files, and choose one of them depending on whether a dummy file is present in the folder with that Menu file. I don't get it, how its more convenient? One would have to write a dummy file - instead its faster to drop required Menu.lst file to root...

I was thinking, dynamic titles would work for a different purpose ( or may be several different scenarios):

- if a file (like ISO) is not found, its title won't be shown in on-screen Menu
OR
- if a certain Menu.lst (like Menu_Tools.lst) is not present in root or Menu folder, its entries won't be shown in common (for several Menu.lst files) on-screen Menu

Right, that's an answer. File or If exist are only working with files.

Sometimes a collegue ask me for an livesystem bootable from flashdisk.
He dont needs all the other stuff and probably he dont have the licences for that.
In this case, i would just copy all the essential files + the one folder /boot/Images/Live
In the main menu, no other menu wont showed up.
Or if a friend needs a flashdisk for reinstall win7 on his netbook.
Same procedure like above, just copying of /root/Images/Win7 folder.
No editing of any *.lst files. Sounds strange, but saves times and avoids mistakes.
As professional PLC engineer, i am beautification maniac

@Sambul,
Your thinking and understanding of dynamical titles are clear.
In sounds easier to consider and copy the right submenu.lst on each copy thread than overheading folders with dummy files, BUT:
If i dont, it would mean at least an additional step on each copy process ("hmm, what i copied right now to flashdisk, which submenu.lst i nead??")
With my dummyfiles-method, i have the same basic files (grubfiles, win7_bcd's, etc..) on every flashdisk. The only difference are amount
of folder under /boot/Images/ and probably the amount of ISOs in this folders (e.g. /boot/Images/Tools).
I could just copy the submenu.lst files to the corresponding places (e.g. menu_tools.lst to /root/Images/Tools), but thats against my beautication ideals
Maybe its confusing, maybe i am cheating myself, but i am still thinking that its still making my life easier

[steve6375]

If he doesn't add the licence then why do you give him the files?

tip: if you add

write 0x8274 0x2001

to the start of your menu.lst file, then the latest chenall version of grub4dos will autonumber the menu entries for you!

Various options are:

#autonumber boot entries with a space

write 0x8274 0x2001



#autonumber boot entries with a hyphen

write 0x8274 0x2d01



# autonumber all entries (even non-bootable ones)

write 0x8274 0x20ff

Can use like this.
iftitle [find --set-root --devices=h /bootmgr && call set bootmgr=%@root^%] load BOOTMGR of Windows VISTA/WIN7/WIN2008 on %bootmgr%

chainloader %bootmgr%/bootmgr

[chenall]

@tefole
try use "ls"

iftitle [ls /boot/Images/Live] LiveSystems

[tefole]

try use "ls"

Thanks for that great idea. Working like a charm. Finally i can get rid of my dummy dummyfiles.

tip: if you add

write 0x8274 0x2001

Even as a frequently visitor of chenall's blog (thanks to translator@google) i never heard about that.
Thanks for the hint. Dont hestitate to share all of them

If he doesn't add the licence then why do you give him the files?

This quesiton isnt fair dude. I never said that. Why do you think, it was worth to spent all the time (especially/mainly yours) into iftitle?
Its not only because of the different sizes of the flashdisks. Its a great addition and amazing tool, to save time.
Are you not sharing your work with your friends?

Not everybody, has every license for all this stuff. You guys helping me to avoid get headaches from nasty friends.
Even the not so smart ones, had figured out, how to use livexp, xp installation (+driverpack&up2date), tools like redobackup and so on.
Same thing for the win7 group.
I mean, its clear that not everyone have not every license. Thatswhy i consider this by copying the right files/folders to the target disk.
And again: we can just keep our all our *.lst files untouched and just consider the right files, respective the right folders.
Thats pretty easy and avoid mistakes.

[sambul61]

Now with all suggestions processed, can you give a clear code example of using this feature, and explaining what it can be used for?

[tefole]

Sure. I updated and tested the last two days my menu-files.
Usually I prepare my target flashdisk/harddisk per fbinst.
You can put all the grub/boot-files onto the hidden primary partition of fbinst. They wont shown on the flashdisk.
On the root of the flashdisk there is just one folder and 3 files.


I am saying it again, as efficiency and beautifaction maniac, your suggestions will be appreciated

Thanks for the great work!

What will happen, if several mentioned folders are present in the root directory? All their Menus will be listed in the Main Menu? Can you link a snapshot how your Menu.lst looks like on screen?

tefole, no bootmgr was used to install 7? Or did you rename bootmgr to W7Boot? If so is this the bootmgr from Winpe 2.0 or Winpe for Win7 SP1? The offsets look different than mine

[laddanator]

Speaking of offset. I know this is off topic but has anyone figured out the new bootmgr offsets from Win 7 SP1 WAIK upgrade?

[Rui Paz]

If he doesn't add the licence then why do you give him the files?

tip: if you add

write 0x8274 0x2001

to the start of your menu.lst file, then the latest chenall version of grub4dos will autonumber the menu entries for you!

Various options are:

#autonumber boot entries with a space

write 0x8274 0x2001



#autonumber boot entries with a hyphen

write 0x8274 0x2d01



# autonumber all entries (even non-bootable ones)

write 0x8274 0x20ff

Hi Steve,

Do you know if its possible to start numbering the entries from 1 instead of 0?

TIA

[steve6375]

The user entry by typing a number will go wrong unless you start at 0. e.g. the user can type 2 and then type 1 and the menu entry 21 will be selected. So I suggest you use the first menu entry (0 entry) as a title for your menu (or even just a blank line. e.g.

title
root

title this is the first number 1 menu title
xxxx
yyy
zzz

so this will look like

1 this is the first number 1 menu title

The very latest grldr file from chenall will not number non-boot entries.

[Rui Paz]

Hi Steve,

I have this on my menu.lst file:

# Menu Autonumber

write 0x8274 0x2001

If i add the two lines:

title  

root

I only get a empty line on the menu and the first real entry continues to be 0.

[steve6375]

You can use

write 0x8274 0x20ff
but only blank title entries will be unnumbered, titles which are not blank will be listed and nonbooting entries will still increment the menu numbers...

1 Fixed grub_sprintf function% d does not correctly display negative of the bug.

2011-12-12 command 'if' added '> =' and'<=', and able to perform numeric comparison.
1.if command also supports ==, >= and <= comparison operators.
New if command supports three more >=,==,<=
If both sides are numbers, automatically convert numeric to compare, or according to the ASCII string size comparison.

2011-12-11
1 can use the map - status = n to obtain the status of the disk has been mapped. use map - status = n to get status of hooked drive n.
Returns the following two variable information (return)
%?% = Start_Sector
% @ Retval% = Sector_Count
If the disk does not exist return 0.

2011-12-08
1 support auto menu number (useful when using the dynamic menu). Support menu AutoNumber.this is useful when used iftitle.
usage:
write 0x8274 0x2001
or
write 0x8274 0x2D01
0x20 (space) or 0x2d ('-') is the delimiter char in ascii code.
More usage of introduction:

1.bug correction.
(2) when using the debug mode to display the conditions of the menu commands executed.


the ChangeLog_chenall.txt has the most info on changes but does need xlating.

[steve6375]

For autonumber which only numbers boot entries use grub4dos-0.4.5b-2011-12-26.zip or later
You can create a blank 'boot' entry which is not numbered like this...

write 0x8274 0x2001

default 1



title

configfile /menu.lst



title this will be numbered 1

map /DOS6.22_bootdisk.iso (0xff)

map --hook

chainloader (0xff)



title this is a separator

root





title this will be numbered 2

map /DOS6.22_bootdisk.iso (0xff)

map --hook

chainloader (0xff)

This is the last entry in the changelog. Doesn't say anything about 12-27-11. I'm I not reading the date right? Dec 27th 2011 is the newest release, right?
