Hi, sorry if this is in the wrong area, couldn't find a forum area specifically for vdjscript.
anyway I'm a visually impaired user of vdj8, and use keyboard mappings for nearly everything, I am currently creating some extra keyboard scripts.
I have been trying to identify which current browser window is active, eg 'songs' 'folders' 'automix' 'karaoke' etc
I have tried mapping the following to the 'o' key for quick access to options for example.
browser_window & param_equal "folders" ? browser_options : browser_window & param_equal "songs" ? view_options : browser_window & param_equal "automix" ? playlist_options : browser_window & param_equal "karaoke" ? karaoke_options : nothing
but this doesn't appear to work... probably not possible to get param from browser_window.
anybody any ideas
also does anybody know how to identify file type currently highlighted in the browser, eg audio, karaoke, video
I have tried
get_browsed_song "type" but no idea if 'type' is a valid argument.
anyway thanks
some of the above script commands I've just done basically from memory and could be slightly wrong, but hopfully you the idea lol

So you want a keyboard button to offer the "Options" menu of the focused Browser window ?
If that is so, try ..
browser_window 'folders' ? browser_options : browser_window 'songs' ? view_options : sideview 'automix' ? playlist_options : sideview 'karaoke' ? karaoke_options : sideview 'sampler' ? sampler_options : nothing
These 3 actions assigned to a LED or a custom button should turn on depending on the File type
get_browsed_song 'type' & param_equal 'audio' ? on : off
get_browsed_song 'type' & param_equal 'video' ? on : off
get_browsed_song 'type' & param_equal 'karaoke' ? on : off
If that is so, try ..
browser_window 'folders' ? browser_options : browser_window 'songs' ? view_options : sideview 'automix' ? playlist_options : sideview 'karaoke' ? karaoke_options : sideview 'sampler' ? sampler_options : nothing
These 3 actions assigned to a LED or a custom button should turn on depending on the File type
get_browsed_song 'type' & param_equal 'audio' ? on : off
get_browsed_song 'type' & param_equal 'video' ? on : off
get_browsed_song 'type' & param_equal 'karaoke' ? on : off

Thank you @djdad
that's the browser options sorted (thought id tried that, obviously didn't lol)
anyway the reason behind getting the file type is because I use 'a' to add tracks to the playlist as they are requested so I keep track. and I use 'k' to add karaoke tracks to the karaoke list.
I want to put both command on the 'a' key instead like this:
get_browsed_song 'type' & param_equal 'karaoke' ? karaoke_add : get_browsed_song 'type' & param_equal 'audio' ? playlist_add : nothing
problem with this is that it does add something to the relevant list, but not the actual track highlighted in the browser. I get something called 'audio' pop up in the automix list for example.
any ideas
thanks
