I have an issue with internal associations (saved searches). Here are parts of my configuration files:


MY WINCMD FILE

%COMMANDER_PATH%\wincmd.ini
[Associations]
RedirectSection=%COMMANDER_PATH%\wincmd_myassociations.ini
[Searches]
RedirectSection=%COMMANDER_PATH%\Tools\impomezia\colors\standard.ini

MY ASSOCIATIONS FILE

%COMMANDER_PATH%\wincmd_myassociations.ini
[Associations]
[color=green]Filter1=*.ahk
Filter1_Open=""%COMMANDER_PATH%\..\Notepad2\Notepad2.exe" "%1""
Filter2=>Text files
Filter2_Open=""%COMMANDER_PATH%\..\Notepad2\Notepad2.exe" "%1""[/color]


MY SEARCHES FILE

%COMMANDER_PATH%\Tools\impomezia\colors\standard.ini
[Searches]
Text files_SearchFor=*.txt;*.bbs;*.cfg;*.ion;*.log;*.me;*.rus;*.scp
Text files_SearchIn=
Text files_SearchText=
Text files_SearchFlags=0|00000200||||||||22220|0000


When I launch sample.ahk.fx, it opens up in notepad2, as expected (Filter1)

when I launch sample.txt.fx, it opens up in notepad* (Filter2)
when I launch sample.bbs.fx, it opens up in notepad*
when I launch sample.cfg.fx, it opens up in notepad*
when I launch sample.ion.fx, it opens up in notepad*

*or the default software in windows' file association

Windows 7 32 Bit
Total Commander 8.0 B25

Hi, I have a question regarding your NiftyLink addon. I couldn't find out so far how to solve the following problem.
We are working in an SVN environment here. We want to create links inside the SVN. So the SVN files are of course all saved on a server and have URLs. Eeach user has checked out a local copy - but has chosen a different base path. Example:
User A: "D:\SVN\" links to https://svnserver.local/stuff/
User B: "C:\Users\Users\Documents\Stuff" links to https://svnserver.local/stuff/

So the goal is to link to the appropriate local file for every user. Any ideas?

Hi Lefteous,

unfortunately, I know only little about SVN, and I've never used it myself. So I hope what I'm going to write now makes sense according to your situation.

I've tested the following scenario on our LAN:

• User A has a local file "T:\Desktop\Demo.txt"
  
• User B has a local file "U:\Eigene Dateien\Demo.txt"
  
• Both users have NiftyLink locally installed.
  
  
• In the local file "NiftyLink.ini" of user A, it reads:
  

  Code:

  [Shortcuts] myplace = T:\Desktop\%1

  
  
• In the local file "NiftyLink.ini" of user B, it reads:
  

  Code:

  [Shortcuts] myplace = U:\Eigene Dateien\%1

  
  
• On the shared drive S: on the server, to which all users have access, there is one NiftyLink "Demo.txt.fx" with the following content:
  

  Code:

  [NiftyLink] Target="myplace:Demo.txt"

  
  
• If user A double-clicks at "Demo.txt.fx", then his local file "Demo.txt" is opened with the associated program. This works even without TC, using the Windows Explorer. Same for user B with his local file "Demo.txt".

I hope, this is applicable to your problem. If not, please let me know. Then there might be another solution, or I might be able to change the program so that it does what you want.

Regards, Juergen

I'm not sure if it helps. I haven't tried using basic relatove links so far - at least not on multiple machines. Do you think they could work in the described scenario?

New version 1.04 released (d/l link is in the first post of this thread).

fixed

• Certain files were not opened with the program, with which they are associated in the operating system.

changed

• Improved error handling.

2Lefteous:
I wrote you a mail, since it's much easier for me to discuss this stuff in German.

Hi there,

I've got problems installing a new version from exe file:

* Previously I installed Version 1.03 from exe-file
* Accidently I removed the "uninstall.exe" (or whatever files are needed for unimstallation)
* Now I want to update to Version 1.04

=> Update can not be performed: I'm requested to remove the previously installed version. This cannot be done, since the uninstaller is not present anymore ... So I'm stuck with previous version

Question:
How can I update NiftyLink anyway?

Request:
* Within Installer: Offer an option for simply overwriting existing version - without uninstalling previous version ...

Technically speaking, the setup file is a self-extracting ZIP archive, which you can open in Total Commander with [Ctrl]+[PgDown]. Then copy the content of the folder "53758734" to your existing NiftyLink directory, overwriting the old files. Since you didn't uninstall the old version, menu entries and file associations still exist.

I'll look into the installer for the next version.

New version 1.10 beta 1 released (only for testing): http://luethje.eu/prog/niftylink110.zip

fixed

• When NiftyLinks were created in Total Commander on the command-line, and the link target contained a relative path, the path of the target panel in TC wasn't recognized correctly under certain conditions.

new

• Now it's possible to specify more precisely, how a linked file is to be opened (automatically, as archive in TC, with a particular internally associated TC command, with system command, with a particular program):
  If a file name in a NiftyLink is preceded by <newtab>, <other> or <newtabother>, then this file is now always treated as an archive.
  A file is explicitly treated as an archive, and opened in the current tab of the current panel of TC, if its name in the link is preceded by <archive>.
  If a file name in a link is preceded by <TC_foo>, then this file will be opened with the command "foo", with which it is associated internally in TC.

The new features are based on one more excellent suggestion by sgp. Thanks again!

If you find any bugs, please report them!

Hi Juergen, thanks for the new beta version. Maybe I gave some ideas, but you do all the hard work. I can't take any credit.

Some issues in 1.10 beta 1 (Win7 SP1 32-bit English):

I have internal associations for .zip archives. The niftylink create dialog disables field "with this command associated internally in TC" for .zip archives. Can you enable it?

If I manually create a <TC_open-with-existing-associated-program> for a .zip file link, and double-click the niftylink I get: "Niftylink error: invalid associated command in Total Commander"

The same two issues above occur also with .pdf files. So I'm inclined to think that NiftyLink gets confused with my setup, which uses redirection= (this has been discussed in this thread recently). In my setup, I keep sections [searches] and [associations] in a separate .ini file associations-searches.ini, and wincmd.ini redirects both sections with redirect=associations-searches.ini.

If I double-click a simple (no <> whatsoever) niftylink to a .pdf file, it opens with the system-associated program. It used to be - and that's the way I still want it - that the internally-associated (Open verb) program was started.

Thanks for all your work!
