2 Things bugging me lately, 1 is a possible BUG

Post by *qiuness »

Hi,

been running TC for 5 years now.. now issues until W7 7137

1. i think this was a bug fixed in Ver 7 of TC:

whenever i open a file within a zip i get a popup:

"Click on Close when the temporary file can be deleted!"
Any ideas how to get rid of it? Is this know, or maybe a checkbox in the Options?


2. Second issue is the x64 submenu. Some Programs add things to the context menu. Can i have those items on my primary context menu and not under the X64 group?

Thanks

edit: if this is in the wrong place please redirect

Ad.1. Open your wincmd.ini file and…

Code: Select all

[Packer] 
ExpertMode=1
Ad.2. I don't think it's possible.

Hello, qiuness.

Ad question #1:
1. i think this was a bug fixed in Ver 7 of TC:
whenever i open a file within a zip i get a popup:
"Click on Close when the temporary file can be deleted!"
(1) You may wish to search the forums for the string "EditWaitTime".

(2) You may wish to read the T.C. help paragraph on "EditWaitTime".
totalcmd.chm => wincmd.ini => [Configuration] => EditWaitTime wrote:EditWaitTime=2
Timeout value when editing files from an archive or ftp server: If an editor closes within this amount of seconds, assume that it's a multiple document editor and show dialog where user can confirm when editing has ended. Set to 0 to turn off this feature. Set to -1 to not show this dialog at all (e.g. when the file was passed via DDE to the associated program).
(3) You may wish to read Christian's explanation on "EditWaitTime" here.

As a matter of fact, using EditWaitTime=2, you should only see the dialogue box asking to "close the file" or "send the dialogue to the background" in case
+ you open a file inside an archive or on an FTP server using an application which can open more than one document simultaneously
+ and the application had already been launched before.

Ad question #2:
2. Second issue is the x64 submenu. Some Programs add things to the context menu. Can i have those items on my primary context menu and not under the X64 group?
Total Commander is a 32bit programme. Therefore 64bit Windows versions will only allow it to display items inside the context menu which point to 32bit programmes.
In order to be able to make available 64bit programmes inside the context menu nonetheless, Christian added the X64 Menu which is filled by a 64bit T.C. addon named "TCMDX64.EXE".

As a consequence, the X64 Menu is likely to persist as long as there is no genuine 64bit version of Total Commander.

Kind regards,
Karl

totalcmd.chm => wincmd.ini => [Packer] => ExpertMode wrote:ExpertMode=1 1: run files inside archives directly on ENTER; 0: show property sheet
So I doubt that ExpertMode is involved here.

I agree about EditWaitTime but I am not 100% sure about ExpertMode. Probably I was too quick with an answer but I remember some problems with mentioned message and given parameter from beta board. That is why I've suggested that first.

I am sorry if it was misleading.

Hi, fenix_productions.

"I doubt" implies that I am not 100% sure. :wink:
In case there is some kind of interaction between the parameters EditWaitTime and ExpertMode, from my point of view this would be some kind of unexpected behaviour.

Kind regards,
Karl

THanks for the answers guys!

It's weird i never seen that dialogue since the last Version.

I usually open zips and look at pictures/clips from those archives and it worked well.

I`ll read up in wait time, i just want to get rid of the box altogether.
