The new version is a great improvement!

Which of the following will you include in future versions:

- Toggle Selection/Type mode
- Copy & Paste shortcuts (Ctrl+C already in use for program break...)
- INI file in Totalcmd.ni dir

One small thing I found:
After pressing Alt+Ctrl+4 I had to switch to another app and then back to TC to be able to do something.

Thank you for this useful plugin!

Thanks for a new version and... WinNT support.
Unfortunately I've found some strange things:

1. If I rename the plugin during installation - it doesn't work.

2. I can't change font in Properties - it's disabled.

3. If it's not run in Secure mode - after typing any command eg. "mem" - it shows a command prompt with a "?" sign - eg. "c:\?"

4. Does backspace close the Tconsole by default?

5. When I type "exit" in the console whole the system almost hangs - Task Manager shows for TC CPU usage = 99% !!!

Tested on WinNT.

2djk I knew it!!! This damn NT support produce new problems only! :(

1. Why you need to rename the plugin??? Well, i'll check it. Just for curiosity. :)
2 Are you going to Properties dialog from console window or from TC panel? In general "Font selection" is disabled if TConsole not yet started.
3. You means "?" instead of ">" ? May be something wrong with fonts.
4. Sorry, i don't understand question. Please, explain it.
5. First af all you dont need to type "exit". In TConsole this command absolutely useless because TConsole immediately will launch another instance of cmd.exe. You can check "close on hide" option and cmd.exe will be terminated every time when you switch off TConsole window. Anyway, it hangs for couple of seconds? minutes? forever? if you see same behavior when you close TC? If it depends on what program currently running in the console? What processor and RAM you have installed?

Sorry, but I have to work on WinNT and I like your plugin :-)

Because I usually rename FSPlugins to have... their Polish names :-)

OK, I call Properties from TConsole in Network Neighborhood

Sorry, my fault, it says exactly: "C:\>?" instead of "C:\>" - just add "?". When I press Enter it say's the command is unknown and then says: "C:\>"

When I run the console and then press Backspace it closes. But I think now it's normal - like in directories - it goes level back.

Duron 900, 128MB RAM - unfortunetely I can't repeat it now so maybe it was something else.

FS-plugins only? Discrimination! Where is UN observers? What about poor LS plugins? My EventLog contains both FS and LS plugins. You've renamed one of them?! You've destroyed plugin family! Did you heard about Geneva Total Convention for the Plugin Right? You, unshamed FSPluginist!

Yes it's normal.

BTW How you write "console" in Polish? :wink:

I'm really ashamed.

You are right, I've renamed EventLog (only FS) into "Dziennik zdarzen" and have broken your family :-(
But one thing is strange - I can rename EventLog but I can NOT TConsole - it doesn't work neither on WinNT nor on WinXP.

It happens for every command?
Well, now I've checked it on WinXP - the same poor result - but it happens only after "mem" command.
BTW How you write "console" in Polish? :wink:
Very similar: "konsola" :-)

Every time I run the TConsole on WinNT it shows me an info:
"Console buffer size is equal to console window size.
Auto detach feature has been disabled"
Why?

Because when "console buffer size is equal to console window size" i cannot detect switching to "full screen" mode. It is means (for example) you've set console buffer size to 50 rows and window size to 50 rows. Check Windows console propetrties.

The new version doesn't work for me. When I enter "cd \\\TConsole" "Show console" is displayed in the file window.

Nice name :-) Thanks.

But... it still doesn't work on my computer. Do you want to get an image, too? ;-)
When I rename it I get the same result as Lefteous :-(
Unfortunately even if I don't rename it it doesn't work now.

At the moment I run it on WinXP Pro.
