two dot-like symbols

Post by *genaro »

Is there a way to not show these two dot-like symbols when file's name is too big?

Well, if you don't see the dots, how would you be able to tell whether the name you see is the full file name or not? :?

(I agree that the dots as used by TC could be somewhat misleading if you also have files with names such as "some...txt". Although, such file names should be extremely rare...)

If you don't want to know how your files are named
why do you use a file manager at all :lol:

Did I say that I don't want to know how my files are named? Let me reread it. No, I didn't say it.

Maybe you can workaround this.

Version 1: File windows above each other
Button with command: cm_VerticalPanels (File windows above each other)
(Click on button: Vertical Panels = ON, another click on the same button: Vertical Panels = OFF)

Code: Select all

TOTALCMD#BAR#DATA
cm_VerticalPanels

wcmicons.dll,23
cm_VerticalPanels (File windows above each other)|https://ghisler.ch/board/viewtopic.php?t=49217


305
Version 2: Active window -> 100% (Button1) -> 50% (Button 2) - first press button 1, then button 2
Button 1 with command: cm_VerticalPanels,cm_100Percent (File windows above each other,Window separator at 100%)

Code: Select all

TOTALCMD#BAR#DATA
cm_VerticalPanels,cm_100Percent

wcmicons.dll,23
cm_VerticalPanels,cm_100Percent (File windows above each other,Window separator at 100%)|Active window -> 100% || https://ghisler.ch/board/viewtopic.php?t=49217


-1
Button 2 with command: cm_VerticalPanels,cm_50Percent (File windows above each other,Window separator at 50%)
(You can try to press button 2 several times, without first pressing button 1 to see what happens ... - maybe it fitts your needs)

Code: Select all

TOTALCMD#BAR#DATA
cm_VerticalPanels,cm_50Percent

wcmicons.dll,37
cm_VerticalPanels,cm_50Percent (File windows above each other,Window separator at 50%) |Active window -> 50% || https://ghisler.ch/board/viewtopic.php?t=49217

You can use the code to create a button as follows:
1. Mark the green code (simply press and hold the left-hand mouse button and drag over the code, then release the left mouse button)
2. Press the CTRL-key and hold it down, then press the letter "C" (CTRL + C = Copy to clipboard)
3. Make a right click on your buttonbar on an empty space [e.g. after the last button or between the buttons]
4. Click on menu item "Paste"
5. [Optional: Point to the new button (slightly longer): Tooltip is shown (-> description for the button)]

It is recommended to draw the columns to the appropriate width (dragging at the column separation lines)
and then to complete with "Settings" menu - "Save position".

I reread and its
"I don't want to know if the name I see is the full file name or not."
So you are don't care if you don't know the (full) name.
Its my understanding of english, may be not the same as yours :)
