F4Menu for all v0.58

Maybe you can use function GetFullPathNameW or something else.
And to editor send as is from TC.

Yes, if only considering the sent file name, it's easy to resolve,
however, the problem is the other multiple selected files, seems no decent way to get their unicode names, unless Ghisler implement unicode for file listbox.

Possible do that menu of the program appeared on centre of the screen?
Sample:
Selection menu appears at the position of:
1. Current file
2. Mouse cursor
3* Center screen

Bug:
Maximum number of open files 31, but real only 16


Thank you

Vo minbao. It is no good. But most of editors does not support unicode filenames. Send em to three letters, how it says russians.

Oh, I have idea! May be you add on settings some ComboBox with 2 or more items:
1-Open file under cursor;
2-Open selected files;
3-...
4-...
5-Close all opened files;
6-Shutdown windows;

Some little requests :

-The ability to choose the starting path for each editor, like in TC

-Ability to fully customize the parameter line, like in TC (%P %p %n %N, remove the " ...)

BTW : Any news about the incorrect %temp% folder detection when editing into an archive ?

edit: I support too the request to have the ability to choose a custom icon for an specified editor (useful when using batch files to re-interpret some editors with an exotic behaviour with parameters).

I use TC Plugins Manager and I can't configure WLX plugins when the default editor of Total Commander is F4Menu.

If Notepad, Choice Editors or OpenFileTC is set no problem occur.

This is because F4Menu doesn't accept filename as parameter, it was already discussed and requested.

What are you talking about? I think I have the same problem, as I cannot edit files in archives or over ftp.

Ok, after some testing with FileMon and Icfu, we found a workaround: setting the TEMP to c:\WINDOWS\Temp\
My TEMP was previously on the default path, which is %USERDATA%\Temp. Somehow F4Menu could not find the file extracte by TC, and passed it on to PSPad and quit. In FileMon I saw, that F4Menu tried to open the path with its short 8.3 names, maybe that went wrong, I dont know. So this is a bug report now: when TEMP is set to
c:\Documents and Settings\SanskritFritz\Local Settings\Temp\
F4Menu cannot find the extracted file and quits. Anyone can confirm that?

Aha, I have already fixed this bug some days ago but have not released it, you can get the latest version here,
http://www.shanny.com.cn/download/F4Menu_v0.145.zip

Just a beta test version.

OK, It's easy to implement. But, is it necessary?

Already fixed, try the latest release, currently, if selected amount exceed the limitation, you can choose to open all files or the first num files.

Ok, someone suggested before.

I already add it into TODO list in the first post.

icfu suggested, in TODO list too.

I would prefer to have a "Center in TC window" or even better than that, an "Open at panel divider position" option. A fixed location of a popup is often a good way to prevent eye distraction.

Also I would prefer a change to the "Current File" option:
When focus is in left panel, F4Menu should open attached to the TC panel divider.
When focus is in right panel, it should open attached to the right window border.

Right now too much of the important panel content – the selected file names – is covered. Also it happens too frequently that mouse cursor is directly hovering a menu entry when menu pops up.

In an archive or ftp server, F4 always open file under cursor, maybe we should ask Ghisler to add this feature for F4
