Wish Replacing project.zip name "at loading time"

[LucaMs]

First a question, to know If I should avoid to request this kind of "not so useful" features (this is the real/main purpose of this "Wish"):
Can Anywhere Software make the IDE (easily, without too much work) modify parts of the user's source code as soon as the project is loaded?

'Ctrl + click to export as zip: ide://run?File=%B4X%\Zipper.jar&Args=Project.zip

If would be "useful" (just nice) if the IDE automatically replaced the "Project.zip" name with the real name of the project loaded.

A better solution is to add a variable for the project name and change the template to:

'Ctrl + click to export as zip: ide://run?File=%B4X%\Zipper.jar&Args=%PROJECT_NAME%.zip

Variable?
Opening the project by command line (I hate command lines ? - batch files too).


[I still don't know if implementing "stuff" like that would take a lot or little work, but that's okay ]

I have seen it, even though I usually see little ? ?. This time the source wasn't very long , but I don't know how it works.

Is that a placeholder (%%) and a keyword that the IDE will pass to Zipper.jar? I suppose so. I should look for those keywords (and above all I should try, but since you are not wrong even during an earthquake , I have no doubts )

The IDE will replace it with the project name before passing it to Zipper (or any other tool).

Currently there is no PROJECT_NAME placeholder / variable. I need to add it.

The current placeholders are: PROJECT, ADDITIONAL (additional libraries folder), B4X (installation folder) and all the environmental variables.

'ide://run?File=%WINDIR%\System32\cmd.exe&Args=/c&Args=Echo+%PROJECT%

Yes, I found them and I was trying to understand how to create a new "environment variable", before posting another not-so-smart question ?

Where do we find these placeholders ?

Where do we find these placeholders ?

As far as I understand, they are "internal to the IDE":

Currently there is no PROJECT_NAME placeholder / variable. I need to add it.

then at the moment they are those at post #7

Yes, I understood all this, but where did you find those ?
