"Search in" field now supports environment variabl

[good_alias]

Using Total Commander 7.0 Release Candidate 1 on Vista, and read about added items in history.txt and found the interesting item Search: "Search in" field now supports environment variables like %path%. So I tried it, and TC recognize %path% but it can not find calc.exe, but if I copy the content of the path variable to the search in field, it finds three different calc.exe.

When writing this post I tried %path% again and now I get the error "Search Path not found". Instable?

Could be because TC only reads %path% for the current user, not the system wide %path%
Try another var, like %windir%.

With such workarounds still a bug IMO.

I'm not sure it's that simple. I have no user secific path, only the system one. And as I wrote, after testing a while tc didn't recongnize %path% but now it kind of works again.

When TC recognizes %path% it seems it can find things in the begining of the path.

And if i search for *.* in %path% with "current dir only", I get all the files in E:\Windows (?) that is %windir% or the second entry of my path.
Could it by that it chooses the wrong variable?

Could the fact that I have no path variable for user create a problem?

My path for system, (anything special?):
PATH=E:\Windows\system32;E:\Windows;E:\Windows\System32\Wbem;E:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\90\Tools\binn\;E:\Windows\system32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0; e:\bin;f:\src\nsp\C3PO\build.mk\script\windows; f:\src\nsp\C3PO\build.mk\tools\windows\cpp; f:\src\nsp\C3PO\build.mk\tools\windows\msys\1.0\bin; f:\src\nsp\C3PO\build.mk\tools\windows\msys\1.0\mingw\bin; f:\src\nsp\C3PO\build.mk\tools\windows\msys\1.0\mingw\libexec\gcc\mingw32\3.4.2; F:\Program Files\svn-win32-1.4.3\bin

Indeed RC1 only reads the first 259 characters of environment variables. This will be changed to 2kBytes in the next RC.

Should work now with up to 2kBytes environment variables, please check!

I will

Seems to work very nice, tested on Vista with the path variable, mentioned above.

Thanks for checking!
