Extended Menus for TC 11.03 - Updated February 21st 2024

Yes, they can.

But off course you have to select the proper menu (from TC's Language setup dialog) each time you change OS.

If you use both Win XP and Win 7 menu, and you have installed wciconex.dll and wciconex.inc via the Help -> Install Addons for Total Commander, then you must overwrite wciconex.inc with the provided wciconex.in_

OK That worked OK Thanks

Now I have to get down to see how I can get TX x64 similar to my highly personalized TC x86, plugin manager is missing for x64 and quite a bunch of plugins...

QUESTION: what changes do you plan for final menus???

Nice Work

Is there any reason why lister.exe of wcmd_win7amd64_eng.zip is from 11.02.2007 whereas official lister.exe from https://plugins.ghisler.com/addons/lister32.zip is newer (from 04.07.2007)?

Typo in

Code: Select all

[em_ext_list_fileinfo]
cmd=%COMMANDER_EXE% /S=L:Pfileinfo
param=%Z%P%N
menu=Show with TTFViewer
button=%COMMANDER_PATH%\PLUGINS\WLX\fileinfo\fileinfo.wlx

TTFViewer should be replaced by FileInfo.

I do not have the lister plugins installed in %COMMANDER_PATH%\PLUGINS\WLX\ but in %COMMANDER_PATH%\..\PLUGINS\. Some auto configuration would be nice.

the env var is not resolved in the Main menu file field

Actually most environment variables are not resolved in TC's GUI - but this way you can actually use the env. var. directly in the Main menu field of the Language setup dialog (as recommended in the first post in this thread) - you don't have to manually edit wincmd.ini.

[EricB]

Aha,

I did not know about using those vars directly in the GUI. Convenient, although I do not mind direct edits of wincmd.ini. I'm also using environment vars in redirection, so I'm familiar with the concept.

Not any right now, only bugfixes - and whatever you guys might come up with regarding features.

There are som errors in the gui in the version you refer to.

Thank you - I'll correct that.

I do not have the lister plugins installed in %COMMANDER_PATH%\PLUGINS\WLX\ but in %COMMANDER_PATH%\..\PLUGINS\. Some auto configuration would be nice.

It is only for the icon in case you use the command for a button.
There is no way with TC's current installer system, that I can make it configurable.

Petermad,

Some English commands have incorrect descriptions:
em_ext_openas with description 'Åbn med (Windows)'
em_ext_show_programfiles with description 'Vis programfiler'
em_ext_perfmon with description 'Ressource Monitor' -> Typo

Furthermore, the wcmd_win7amd64_?_eng.ini and wcmd_win7x86_?_eng.ini files contain entries with references to their own file names. Wouldn't it be convenient to substitute those also with the %PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE% variable?

Thanks - they will be corrected.

That is not necessary - TC will always use .mnu and .ini files with corresponding names. So if wcmd_win7amd64_?_eng.mnu is used then wcmd_win7amd64_?_eng.ini will also be used.

[EricB]

I was aware of that. I was more thinking along the line of maintainability: the less differences between the x86 and x64 the better maybe. But in retrospect there are only 6 entries which would be unified, most of the other differences are SYSWOW64 related.

%PROGRAMFILES(X86)% also doesn't work

It works here on x64 Windows 7.

Could you help me: Open a command prompt (Commands -> Open command prompt window) and write SET and press Enter.

How many of these variables do you see:
CommonProgramFiles=
CommonProgramFiles(x86)=
CommonProgramW6432=
ProgramFiles=
ProgramFiles(x86)=
ProgramW6432=

And what are the values?

Probably every entry that has %windir%\sysnative\ in the path (like Snipping Tool, Sound Recorder, Sticky Notes, System Configuration, Memory Diagnostics Tool, WindowsAnytime Upgrade, Windows Fax and Scan, Disk Defragmenter, Narrator) will not work on your 32bit Windows either, and a lot of the icons in the icon bars might not be shown for the same reason - is that correct?

[krasusczak]

I have only:
CommonProgramFiles=C:\Program Files\Common Files
ProgramFiles=C:\Program Files


I thing that rest may be only in x64, x86 arch. assumes that there is no need of any x64 marker..

[petermad]

I thing that rest may be only in x64, x86 arch. assumes that there is no need of any x64 marker..

I guess so. The problem with for example Games is that in Win 7 x64 they are installed in %programfiles%\microsoft games\ but if I use that in the 32 bit version of TC under x64 Windows, then that points to %programfiles(x86)%\microsoft games\ where the files are not to be found.

I guess I have to make a third version of the menus for 32bit Windows 7

[krasusczak]

Yes %windir%\sysnative also don't work:/
