[solved] TC 9.5b5 - Items for files in Directory hotlist menu are not marked as items for dirs are

The behaviour described in the bug report is either by design, or would be far too complex/time-consuming to be changed

[solved] TC 9.5b5 - Items for files in Directory hotlist menu are not marked as items for dirs are

Post by *petermad »

To reproduce:
Make an entry in the Directory hotlist with the command:

Code: Select all

cd c:\windows\
Press Ctrl+D and click the item.
You are taken to c:\windows - as expected.
Press Ctrl+D again - the item is marked in the menu - as expected.

Now change the entry to:

Code: Select all

cd c:\windows\bootstat.dat
Press Ctrl+D and click the item.
You are taken to c:\windows and the cursor is placed on bootstat.dat - as expected.
Press Ctrl+D again - the item is NOT marked in the menu - unexpected.

This is normal - TC cannot know whether bootstat.dat is a file or a directory when checking the hotlist menu for matching entries.

OK - I guess it not worth the wile to build in a check for that - it could also slow down the display of long menus to check the for it.
