Scroll Inactive Lister.exe Window

[Phred]

In the same fashion as the 'TC9.50ß9 Scroll Inactive File Compare Window' report in the 9.5beta bugs section, Lister.exe doesn't scroll when it doesn't have the focus and 'scroll inactive windows when the mouse pointer is over the inactive window' in Windows 10 is set.

It happens when Lister.exe (495.040 bytes dated 4th July, 2007) is associated with .txt files, and others - as a usage example.

This, and other vagaries of the 2007 Lister, would be a welcome candidate for revision, IMO (thinking of proportional scroll-bar blocks, for example).

It seems freeware Lister.exe development is currently paused because 64-bit version of it can't compiled, see https://www.ghisler.ch/board/viewtopic.php?p=343814#p343814

For Total Commander users it is recommended to use %COMMANDER_EXE% /S=L to launch only Lister in a separate process.

Where would this be set, DrS?
I tried it in a Button Bar button, but nothing behaved.
q.v.
TOTALCMD#BAR#DATA
%COMMANDER_PATH%\totalcmd64.exe
/S=L "%1"
%COMMANDER_PATH%\totalcmd64.exe,24

My initial mentioning of Lister's not scrolling was because I have a number of file extensions assigned to TC's stand-alone Lister.exe, .txt primary among them.
Was it Vern Berg who gave us the original List.exe? I miss that one.

I can't see how to apply your suggestion, in this thread and in the one you referred me to.
Any further?

/S=L "%1"

%1 was for Windows command file (bat/cmd). You should use proper TC parameters in button, for example %P%N, with no quotes. Read TC Help, please.

Vern Buerg died in 2009. You can use ZBLIST.EXE, a replacement for LIST.COM. Visual Basic runtime may be needed.

Try this:

Code: Select all

TOTALCMD#BAR#DATA
%COMMANDER_EXE%  /S=L
%P%N
%COMMANDER_EXE%,24
Open Standalone Lister

To make the button:
1. Mark the green text above (click SELECT ALL).
2. Copy it to the ClipBoard (press Ctri+C).
3. Right click on TC's buttonbar and choose "Paste".

Have you tried to pass selection in this case?

No I had not - unfortunately it does not work for multiple files, even if I replace %P%N with %P%S

Maybe a matter for a feature request
