<div dir="ltr">Of all those, the one that confuses me is the date one. Does os.date() open a command-prompt window on Windows? Is the goal to present the date in the user's preferred locale format? Or is it to get a sortable value for the date? (Or some other reason?)<br></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Wed, Feb 15, 2023 at 2:42 PM Jan Angermüller <<a href="mailto:jan@angermueller.com">jan@angermueller.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">

>Which are the functions that generate popups?<br>
-Starting other programs (.exe files) like the ESProgressBar.exe
which shows the external progress bar (currently via the "start"
command). Some programs also need one or multiple strings to be
passed on.<br>
-Read, Write and Delete access to the registry, both 32bit and 64bit<br>
-Reading the wmic.exe output which needs a string as a parameter <br>
-Current Date (day month year) in format %d-%m-%Y = e.g.
15-02-2023<br>
-As other language editions of Windows caused problems some calls
start with a change of the codepage: "chcp 65001". Registry queries
and wmic require this.<br>
-"Powershell stop-process -Id $PID"<br>
<br>
The external cmd or powershell calls are already centralized in
Perfect Layout.<br>
Usually it's two or three commands in one black window.<br>
