Whenever I use the 'find duplicates' function in Total Commander, that remarkable phrase from petermad comes to mind.petermad wrote: 2019-11-18, 17:07 UTC I totally agree - the "Select duplicate files" function is the most hidden feature in TC.
Each time, I find myself not fortunate to remember what to do next with the primary search results.
Even though I made a dedicated file with the description, I still forget about that [Num +] most of the time:
Code: Select all
find duplicates, select duplicates:
gui : Feed to Listbox - NumPlus
command : cm_SpreadSelection
menu : Mark - Select group [Num +]
keyboard : Alt+M (Alt: open Main Menu + M: Mark menu) - [Num +]
Which in ini now looks as follows:
Code: Select all
[searches]
duplicates Feed to Listbox then NumPlus_SearchFor=
duplicates Feed to Listbox then NumPlus_SearchIn=
duplicates Feed to Listbox then NumPlus_SearchText=
duplicates Feed to Listbox then NumPlus_SearchFlags=0|007002010021|||||||||1110|||
So, I suggest, why not have a descriptive hint there?
In the ini, it could look like this:
Code: Select all
[searches]
duplicates_SearchFor=
duplicates_SearchIn=
duplicates_SearchText=
duplicates_SearchFlags=0|007002010021|||||||||1110|||
duplicates_SearchHint=after search click Feed to Listbox then hit Num+
For example, when you click on the saved searches in the list, you can see the search pattern in a line below the list.
A proposed 'Hint' line could be placed somewhere next to it.
Thank you.
