[solved] TC 9.51 - SAVESELECTION and SAVEDETAILS saves to wrong dir.

[petermad]

If I use the two new commands SAVESELECTION <filename> and SAVEDETAILS <filename> and don't enter a ful path for the filename, the file is not necessarily saved to the current directory - it is saved to the last opened directory in either of the two file panels.

Example:
Make these two buttons:

Code: Select all

TOTALCMD#BAR#DATA
SAVESELECTION myfile

wcmicons.dll,43
Save selection to myfile


-1

and

Code: Select all

TOTALCMD#BAR#DATA
SAVEDETAILS myfile

wcmicons.dll,43
Save selection to myfile - details


-1

Make directories c:\test1, c:\test2 and file c:\test2\test.txt

Start with TC with these panels:
Left side: c:\
Right side: c:\test2

Open c:\test1 in Left side (so c:\test1 will be the last opened dir)
Mark test.txt in c:\test2 (in the Right side)
Click one of the buttons
The file myfile is created in c:\test1 and not in c:\test2 as expected

Now in the Right side go back to c:\ and then into c:\test2 again (so c:\test2 is the last opened dir)
Mark test.txt in c:\test2 again
Click one of the buttons
The file myfile is now created in c:\test2 as expected

So myfile is always created in the last opened directory - this is also true if the last opened directory is on another drive than the one where the files are selected -and it is also true if Right and Left is reversed in the tests above (file selection is done in the Left side).

When you don't specify a path, it is saved to whichever is the current directory.

[petermad]

Could it please be changed to to whichever is the current directory in the ACTIVE file panel?

[ghisler(Author)]

OK, I will change it.
