would it be possible to change tcmenu that a right mouseclick doesnt start the app but opens a new tab with the app-path in the actuel tc instance ?

TIA

Sorry, I don't understand your question. Can you explain it?

TCMenu Pops up now
a) LeftClick starts the choosen App
b) RightClick opens a new FolderTab in TC with the Path of the app that would be started with Leftclick

I noticed a strange behavior with one of my menus. I click...and nothing happens. I don't use this particular menu too often, I thought I had the file corrupted. "To fix later". But surprisingly after c.a. 10 minutes it popped up.
the .bar file

Code: Select all

[Buttonbar]
Buttoncount=10
button1=%COMMANDER_PATH%\..\skins\icons.icl,2
cmd1=%COMMANDER_PATH%\..\skins\main.bar
button2=%COMMANDER_PATH%\..\tools\net\rapidsvn\rapidsvn.exe
cmd2=""%COMMANDER_PATH%\..\Tools\Net\RapidSVN\rapidsvn.exe""
path2=%COMMANDER_PATH%\..\Tools\Net\RapidSVN\
menu2=rapidsvn
button3=%COMMANDER_PATH%\..\tools\net\wincvs\wincvs.exe
cmd3=""%COMMANDER_PATH%\..\Tools\Net\wincvs\wincvs.exe""
path3=%COMMANDER_PATH%\..\Tools\Net\wincvs\
menu3=wincvs
button4=
button5=%COMMANDER_PATH%\..\Tools\Office\Spread32.exe
cmd5=%COMMANDER_PATH%\..\Tools\Office\Spread32.exe
path5=%COMMANDER_PATH%\..\Tools\Office\
menu5=Spread32
button6=
button7=%COMMANDER_PATH%\..\tools\others\convert.exe
cmd7=""%COMMANDER_PATH%\..\Tools\Others\Convert.exe""
path7=%COMMANDER_PATH%\..\Tools\Others\
menu7=Convert
button8=TOTALCMD.EXE,8
cmd8=cd %COMMANDER_PATH%\..\Tools\Others\pecomp\
path8=%COMMANDER_PATH%\..\Tools\Others\pecomp\
menu8=pecomp
button9=
button10=%COMMANDER_PATH%\..\Tools\Media\mplayer.exe
cmd10=%COMMANDER_PATH%\..\Tools\Media\mplayer.exe
path10=%COMMANDER_PATH%\..\Tools\Media\
menu10=mplayer

I run TCMenu w/out ini file.

With another .bar, everything is ok.

1. Do you mean it just popped up himself?
2. Does it happens every time when you rinning this menu?

Yes and yes.

Link - http://www.mgpsoft.net/Downloads/TCMenu20b10.zip

hello.

i downloaded from the link above. is it possible to have a

Code: Select all

%COMMANDER_PATH%

in the parameters section (i created a button in the toolbar)? (would be nice for portability)

i tried

%COMMANDER_PATH%\barname.bar

it doesnt work.

thank you.

Hm, I don't see any reason for this. Only thing I can think about - some involved file is corrupt. My only suggestion - try to recreate this bar and check it's bechavior after adding every button.

Becky
%COMMANDER_PATH% is supported in parameters field too. Did you notice in readme

Important! Variables in parameters field should be enclosed in double percent signs

Actually, as this .bar is highly depracated, I removed it, so it's not a problem for me
But I checked it in TC - everything works correctly.

yes, i actually have, several times. at first i thought having "double" percent signs was equivalent to having one in the front and one in the back.

i figured it out now. thx for the reply.

edit :

oh btw, such a lovely tool. this actually gave my default toolbar a cleaner look, much less buttons now.

is there a "theme repository" where one can download some? i havent been through the whole thread so pardon me if this has been mentioned.

thx

Finally figured out how to configure this, pretty darn sweet.

Though if it was right-click for the menu, and left click to do the default action - that would be supreme. I think I seen that mentioned (possibly in this thread) -- Likely a reason why thats not an option...coding complexity or interfering w/ TC's default right click.


I'd have to also say, Mr.Ghisler should be hosting something closer to the more recent version, or just linking to the more recent one. Instead of hosting the old 1.7 version from 2003.

I love the TCMenu ... but there is a minor bug ?!.

If you enter a packed file (you see the content of the packed file) and then press the button in buttonbar (TCMenu) an error occurred.

Edit: If you double-klick the button (TCMenu) the menu stay (on top) and I have to use one of the entrys to close the menu ... Therefore I have an button in the menu (tools.bar > default.bar) to return to default.bar, but is there an other solution ?

It is not a bug in TCMenu. It is a limitation of TC. You cannot invoke external programs from inside archives.
