Full screen

mputtkam · Post by *mputtkam » 2009-04-22, 11:11 UTC

Hi,

I need a full screen function and hotkey. Fullscreen means
no user interface except the main filebrowser windows. Also, I need the option to switch off the title bar (Total Commander...) and the menu bar in the preferences. Also a predefined hotkey.

I am aware that there is tcfs, but to me it is awkward to use and to set up.

Thank you.

Regards,
Martin Puttkammer

TCFS is of help.

Oops!

However, TCFS is neither hard to setup nor use.

I just stumbled upon this thread - tcfs might be nice to use. I just downloaded it, but the readme file is in russian that I don't speak, even with a russian char set that I dont have installe, which displays in a very strange way on my screen. Does someone know if there is an english or german help file anywhere to download?

For an automatic translation of the Russian TCFS help you can upload readme.htm at http://translate.google.de/.

I was going to suggest the (F11) full-screen functionality (as it is available in several browsers and Windows Exploder), and came across this thread.
I've tried the plugin out, but I'm having problems making it work. It somehow worked the first time I used it, but now it only hides the menu bar. I used TCIW.exe to set the F11 hotkey up, saved it, closed the app and restarted TC, but it doesn't seem to work now. What am I missing here? Also, each time I run TCIW.exe, it would ask me for the location of wincmd.ini.

You may try TCFS2, it is very small and allows more features than TCFS. Read documentation to understand how to use it.

Thanks, I'd give it a shot, but I get a report that TCFS2.exe is "Trojan horse BackDoor.Hupigon5.BNIM". False positive or compromised file on the site?
Also, how do I "uninstall" TCFS - apart from deleting its folder, that is.

On one side you have a -probably- false positive.
On the other hand you may get "false negatives" from anoynmous members in a software forum.

Are you kidding? Is this a matter of taste?

Are you referring to the virus, you just have installed or to the Total Commander Plugin?
You are kidding, don't you.

I don't know why I'd be kidding on such serious matter.

I merely speculated that the download site (or the file) got somehow infected -- it can happen, and it probably doesn't hurt to check it out.
Anyway, I also checked the TCFS2 zip file on another computer with another AV scan, and it also reported a virus.
AVG reports "Trojan horse BackDoor.Hupigon5.BNIM"
Nod32 reports "TCFS2.exe - probably a variant of Win32/Hupigon.KZGIGXJ trojan"

Are you referring to the virus, you just have installed or to the Total Commander Plugin?
You are kidding, don't you.

I didn't install TCFS2 yet, until the matter is cleared up.
I was referring to the "first" TCFS plugin I installed. I copied its files in a subfolder, but I know it also made changes to wincmd.ini and probably some other settings as well (e.g. Start Menu etc.). I'd like to know which settings were changed by TCFS, so that in case I decide to uninstall TCFS I can "restore" them.

Dumb anti-virus software doesn't like that TCFS2 calls ClipCursor API function, and I can't do something with it. TCFS2 uses this function to temporary set fixed cursor position when it moves separator.

I checked new TCFS2 version at virustotal.com yesterday, it got 0/41 positives (move separator functionality moved from it to separate module) while released version got 19/41.

I even wrote to NOD developers that their heuristics works wrong but they too lazy to change anything.

Not quite what i needed. I need to launch the browser in fullscreen mode.
I'm looking for a command line option like -fullscreen .....

MVV · Post by *MVV » 2011-08-23, 09:12 UTC

You may use following command line to switch TC to full-screen mode and back:

Code: Select all

TCFS2 fs2

Also you may setup full-screen mode via TCFS2.ini (parameter fs in [Actions] section tells to TCFS2 what interface items it should hide). Before first use you should place TCFS2.ini from EN or RU dir near tool.

Why not using a bat/cmd file like :

Code: Select all

@start  /MAX   <path to>\totalcmd.exe <options>

TC will start in Maximized mode (full screen) ..

-- edited it also works from command line
