RID500 , raeubi Thanks.
I'll realize this command.

I would like to have an button "Change path to active panel path" as well.

Do you mean a button at the bottom of TotalConsole?
Or only command to hotkey? Or both?

This is actual question, because D1P suggested to make a "Block tab" menu item to prevent changing path for blocked console if path changed.
How blocked tab must react to this command? I think it must not react for this command. What do you think?

Thanks for the plugin!

How can I copy text in the console window?

How can I copy text in the console window?

The same as in cmd.exe window. (Right click->Select->Enter)

Both

Yes i think about an button at the bottom near the the other buttons.
I am a little afraid about using global hotkeys because of inter reacting with other apps ?!???
This "Cahnge path"-option could be in the context menu as well.

Yes i think this too: block means block

Additional question:
* could you change the [Minimize]-button to be an [Restore]-button if Console is minimized?
* also an [Maximize]- and an [Hide]-button would be nifty, what think others about this?




Thanks for you interest.

I think it will be better to make the buttons customizeable. Than you can tune them youself like hotkeys. What do you think about this?

The hotkey library check the application it load in. It loads in TC and console shell applications only. Hotkeys demand for correct settings to be safely.

This "Change path"-option could be in the context menu as well.

All internal TotalConsole's command are available in "Commands" submenu of context menu. This command will be available too.

could you change the [Minimize]-button to be an [Restore]-button if Console is minimized?

No. I tried to do this... But unfortunaly, this action crashed all logical structure of plugin and the bugs were uncountable.

Fine.
What you think about?
An new ini setting like
[Buttons]
Button01=TCConsole.minimize; Min
Button02=TCConsole.restore; "Restore to last state"
Button03=TCConsole.hide; Hide
Button04=TCConsole.ChangePath; "Path to panel path"

Ok.

[corny]

I'm used to the vertical arrangement of the panels. When I start TotalConsole, it is flashing and the lower panel disappears to the back of TotalConsole

[B4rr4cuda]

corny
Realization of TotalConsole's window behaviour in this case the same as normal is hard and unstable.
This method is the best I used.
Sorry, but it will not be changed soon.

[corny]

No worries, I changed my setup to the horizontal arrangement. (but thought you might be interested in my finding). Thanks for this great plugin!

It would be nice if there was an easier way to launch/create the 1st console. Perhaps if the user changes to \\\TotalConsole\ and there are no console windows active, it should automatically open one. Then I could simply have a button on the toolbar that would launch TotalConsole and open the 1st console.

Also, since you allow different consoles, it would be great if there was a way to save/load different consoles. Perhaps I want a cmd.exe console and a 4NT console, for instance.

[robinsiebler]

It would be nice if the console window could appear in a full pane, like TConsole, instead of at the bottom.

There are 3 hidden options for TotalConsole.
Just add this 3 lines to [Interface] section of options.ini from TotalConsole folder:

Code: Select all

SaveConCountOnClose=0
GetConCountOnClose=1
ConCountOnClInt=1

SaveConCountOnClose - if this option ON (1) the count of consoles will be saved to ConCountOnClInt.

GetConCountOnClose if this option is ON consoles count from ConCountOnClInt key value will be opened .

Also there is hotkey command "Run saved consoles count".

I do not like this console position style.
