6.54 Problems
A while back I installed 6.54. I found it very unstable when moving a directory--it was prone to blowing up instead of killing the source directory when done. I went back to 6.53.
6.54a came along. I installed it, a few hours later it blew up while just sitting there.
What's going on? Your program is too good for that sort of thing!

Moving a directory changes the hidden treeinfo.wc in the root of each drive. Maybe the file is damaged? Please try this:
1. Zip the file treeinfo.wc
2. Remove it
3. Try if the error is still there
If it's gone, then please send me the zipped treeinfo.wc by e-mail.

TC 6.54 is intercepting lines in treeinfo.wc which are too long. I haven't seen any problems with this so far, but I cannot exclude that it is causing you these problems. But to verify that, I will need your treeinfo.wc - otherwise I cannot help you!

BTW, several questions on treeinfo.wc:
is it created and updated by Windows, or by TC? (I suggest it's from TC because of its extension)
if I see that some folder is listed in this file, but I have no such a folder on my disk - is that a bug? can I freely delete those invalid entries?

F6, Enter, Tab, F6, Enter, Tab, F6, Enter, Tab... - I like to move IT, move IT!..

It usually happens when you delete folders using Explorer instead of TC: TC doesn't know if someone else takes away folders "from under its feet".XPEHOPE3KA wrote:if I see that some folder is listed in this file, but I have no such a folder on my disk - is that a bug? can I freely delete those invalid entries?
Just press Alt-F10 in TC and then F2 (re-scan tree).
I don't know (read: I'm too lazy to try and find out) if there is some settings in Wincmd.ini which can keep treeinfo.wc synchronized with whatever you do (adding/deleting/renaming folders). Maybe some one else can help ?

Thanks.
But if after F2 you'll enter any folder in that tree view - treeinfo.wc is updated.
Thanks.
It didn't help, even after restarting TC treeinfo.wc's date/time didn't change.chandragor wrote:Just press Alt-F10 in TC and then F2 (re-scan tree)

Well, in MY system (Windows98SE) treeinfo.wc's date/time DO get updated, and treeinfo.wc gets updated as well. Maybe you did it while the file list panel was on the root folder. I noticed that TC didn't refresh the content of the file list panel if you exit from the "Directory Tree" dialog by pressing ESC or the Cancel button, and it still showed the old date/time and file size until I manually refreshed its content by pressing F2.XPEHOPE3KA wrote:It didn't help, even after restarting TC treeinfo.wc's date/time didn't change.

Observation: I examined the file, there's no unreasonably long lines. I got rid of it anyway, there's nothing of any great importance in it. No blowups so far but I haven't done much of the operation most prone to blowing it up--moving an entire directory to another drive.ghisler(Author) wrote:TC 6.54 is intercepting lines in treeinfo.wc which are too long.

The shortkey [ALT+F10] and [F2] / [CTRL+R] should work without any of these settings, thx chandragor!TreeFileLocation=
Define different location of files treeinfo.wc, e.g. treefilelocation=c:\somedir\treeinfo%D%.wc
%D% is replaced by the drive letter (or root of share, \ replaced by _)
%R% is replaced by the root path
%L% is replaced by the volume label.
Please note that these variables MUST be upperase, otherwise TC will look for the environment variables with these names!
treefilelocationE=
Sets location of treeinfo file only for drive E. Only works if treefilelocation= is set too!
treefilelocation__server_share=
Sets location of treeinfo file only for drive \\server\share (treefilelocation= MUST be set too).
Total Commander Help: Show directory tree
Loren Pechtel,...you can configure it in configuration - options - display (Always load complete directory tree)...
please give us more detailled info instead of "blowing up".
When Total Commander crashes, you will allways receive a error message.
Clicking on it, press [ALT] + [Print] will create a picture of that message in the clipboard.
Use IrfanView or another program to paste the content from the clipboard and save it as "png".
Send this with a short explanation to C.Ghisler for further investigation.
Or please type the text of the error message into your postings.
In most cases the "Installation-bugs" or "Cannot open Folders -bug" in Version 6.54(a) was caused by other programs (AntiVirus), fragmented disks, missing rights and: By the user.
Please reinstall Version 654a and let us know more details what happens.
Kind regards
