a small problem with virtualized Office

Post by *JohnMirror »

Hi.
I open a compressed file as a folder. Inside it has a doc file. I double click on it. Virtualized Office is starting but Word is saying that the file doesn't exist. I close Word and double click again. This time is loading the doc file.
I think that the first time, because Office is starting slow, Total Commander is erasing the doc file from the temp folder before Word is completely loaded.
I don't know if Total Commander has to be modified to wait more or if the virtualized Office has to do something to notify Total Commander to wait more.

Regards, John

Later edit: I use 7.56a.

TC waits a few seconds (2 by default) after a file is opened when the launched program closes immediately until it deletes a file. This is controlled with the EditWaitTime setting in wincmd.ini. Try to increase this to e.g. 5 seconds.

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).
