4: put newly added files at the END of the file list (default: sorted)
It does not appear until I switch the focus to TC. When I do that, it gets sorted.ghisler(Author) wrote:Cannot confirm. Here is what I tried:
1. Start notepad, TC runs in background
2. Save file in a dir which is shown in TC - do not close TC!
-> File is inserted at the end
Note that when you switch back to TC, the list will be reloaded, so the file will be sorted to the position to which it belongs.
Copied files appear on the list one after another but with proper sorting. None of them are placed at the end.ghisler(Author) wrote: Second test:
1. Select multiple large files (several MB)
2. Press F5 - F2 to copy them via background transfer manager
-> they appear at the end of the list while copying is in progress. Once it finishes, the list will again be reloaded, so the files will be sorted to the position to which they belong.
Apparently you have the option checked to not update the list while TC is in the background. It comes directly after the option to add new files to the end of the list.It does not appear until I switch the focus to TC. When I do that, it gets sorted.
If you copy them one by one in the foreground, you will see them appear only when the operation ends - TC then refreshes the list, which causes a re-sorting.Copied files appear on the list one after another but with proper sorting. None of them are placed at the end.
Geeez. I had to be blind. Now it works as described in your previous post.ghisler(Author) wrote:Apparently you have the option checked to not update the list while TC is in the background. It comes directly after the option to add new files to the end of the list.
I understand it now. I was mistaken from the beginning, because I though new files will be placed at the end without automatic scrolling to their positions so work flow wouldn't be interrupted somehow.ghisler(Author) wrote:The option to put them at the end is just for files which are created while TC does nothing in the foreground, so it could disturb the user in his work when files appear. For example, when you download many files in the background with some kind of download manager, they would constantly appear in the download directory, making it hard to work there.
you are not the only... in fact, I once thought that option work as you describe, not Ghisler's...friedman wrote:Yes, I understand what you're saying, but do you understand that the windows explorer behavior type would be desirable? I mean, I'm in TC, I move some from left to right, and guess what... I'm lost! I don't know what files I've just transfered! Maybe I want to rename them, maybe I want to open them, there are many real-world scenarios I can think about and that I encounter on a daily basis that would require to have my newly moved files placed at the end of the list UNTIL I EXPLICITLY REFRESH the destination panel or I leave it and re-enter it. Am I the only one who thinks this would be a great option to have in TC? I don't know anything else I could ask more from TC, but this is something that makes me use TC AND Windows Explorer in parallel many times, and this is very uncomfortable.
Thanks for listening and understanding! I guess this wouldn't be very difficult to implement so I'm looking forward using TC 100% in the near future!
Great program! I like it better than Salamander and FreeCommander.
