Tool “OpenFileTC” : What about ?
Moderators: white, Hacker, petermad, Stefan2
Hello to all forum people. Sorry for long silence at this topic.
I want to publish new version of Open File shell for TC, v1.7b, at the January 27, saturday. But if you want, you can download beta-version of application. A lot of bugs were catched by CaptainFlint, administrator of Total Commander's non-official russian forum. If you have some spare time, please help me to find hidden bugs.
What's new in this version (sorry for my bad english):
1) For Total Commander v7.0 and higher: application getting list of files without using clipboard. ATTENTION: this option works only at the short or full view of TC's file list. Partially, OpenFileTC doesn't works if using thumbnails view.
For Total Commander v6.5x and earlier: work with clipboard becomes more good. But it's recommended to change version of Total Commander to the 7.0!
2) If OpenFileTC starts without parameters, then it opens in the setup mode.
3) Now Open File TC can starts on another Ini-file. Anso you can use environment variables (see file "SupportedTags_eng.txt"). Command line: OpenFileTC.exe /I="<path to the ini-file>"
4) Now app supports the following tags:
%RootDrive% - drive letter with the colon, where OpenFileTC starts from ("C:", "D:")
%COMMANDER_DRIVE% - drive letter with the colon, where Total Commander starts from
5) Now Open File shell for TC works correctly with paths, where strings "..\" (up one level) are exists.
6) Now OpenFileTC forced start can be setted using one of three switches (Caps Lock, Num Lock, Scroll Lock) and/or mouse position (one screen corner)
7) Now you can set another icon for each added application.
Fixed: of default application was removed from computer, then OpenFileTC doesn't react when user press F4 on files. Now OpenFileTC main window opens.
9) Fixed: files with null extension sometimes lost their option "Always open with selected..."
10) Now application get full name of Total Commanders' Ini-file name using environment variable %COMMANDER_INI%
11) Fixed: when new application with wrong exe header was added to the list of avaliable apps, then Open File TC raised an error ошибку Invalid Pointer Operation.

Here it works !

i have a programme and use it with openfile, then moves it. openfile detects this and i relocate it for openfile. now openfile does not even put it in preferred app section.
This error will be fixed in the futire version. Thanks for information!st wrote:not working 4 me, maybe because my situation's more compilcated.

Open File shell for TC, v1.7c
The new version of Open File shell for TC is published. Current version is 1.7c, you can download it from here.
What was done in this version: very huge list of changes.
What was done in this version: very huge list of changes.
- Add. Now you can set some editor as a default editor for each new extension. It is very useful if you works very hard with a lot of text files which have different extensions
Add. Option to enable / disable adding executables via F4 on them
Fixed. If application is called using hot key, then extenson haven't added to the list of supported extensions
Add. Hidden option [Main] DisableCallsCount=1 - disabling the calls counting
Add. Flags to open editors: maximize / minimize / normal
Add. F4 on exe-files - asks user to add it to the list of editors
Add. English now is the embedded language
Fixed. "Lost applications" - if user set the right way to the lost executable, then application stay at the "Lost applications" section, ant its icon do not changed
Fixed. Wrong OpenFileTC's action with the "Always use..." check box - application do not always obey for user
Fixed. When user sent to the OpenFileTC a /I= param, then application lost list of selected files
Add. Now user can set the common command line for each extension of the executable (now this option is not so good, will be fixed lately)
Add. Application read the environment variable PATH
Add. Applications Notepad, Wordpad, MSPaint are added with the first start of OpenFileTC
Fixed. If strings have tsome environment variables, then OpenFileTC might work with them not correctly.
Fixed. Whtn user selected the language (at the first start), then he might select wrong language - the mouse position was analysed not correctly
Fixed. A lot of small fixed in the editing extensions window
Add. Now OpenFileTC supports %1 (it is the same as the %FullFileName%)
Add. The "Hot key" button in the executables setup window
Fixed. It was impossible to remove a hot key, only change it to another
Add. It is possible to change separator between the extensions in the ini-file of the OpenFileTC (see the English.lng file)
Add. Application remembers its size in the setup mode and in the work mode separately
Add. If user forced call OpenFileTC, then OpenFileTC select that executable which must open selected file with the normal OpenFileTC calling.
Add. Now user can set the "Always use..." check box state at the next OpenFileTC start - always on, always off or by the last state
Fixed. Now supported extensions in the executable's hint are on the several strings
- OpenFileTC doesn't works correctly in TC 6.5x - it may loose the clipboard
There is still no conversion between OpenFileTC and ChoiceEditor
- Make all things which are in the previous section
Allow edit files from the result of searching / result of Ctrl+B (now user need to open each file in result separately, he can't select two files and press F4)
I want to make a bar with buttons
I have an idea to make another logic with extensions work. User will be able to group some extensions by their meaning: Text, Pictures, some another. And user can set this tag (%Text% or %Pictures%) for some editor as an extension.
Editors' setup window will be changed hardly.
If it will be possible for me, I'll add some functional elements like popup items in the Office 2007 (they showed when user select a text). I hope, these elements will allow to use OpenFileTC easier.

Could you please add ESCape in switchkeys. It is more convenient than caps, num or scroll keys. Like in Choiceeditor http://en.totalcmd.pl/download/add/add/Choice_Editor

What's new in this version (only new items after the previous published beta):
- Fixed. If you have assigned some editor for current extension, and this editor must be opened directly - without OpenFileTC window, and if you have made a force call of OpenFileTC, then this option becomes disabled for this extension
Add. Now you can force open OpenFileTC window using the Escape key (thanks to _meta_ for his suggestion)
Add. If you have a default editor, and it is the preferred editor, then it will be selected if OpenFileTC's window opens
Fixed. When you open file directly in needed editor (without OpenFileTC window), then sometimes you may have a critical error
