faqs: Show extra text in the title bar (TitleExtraText)

Post by *Stefan2 »

 
History.txt wrote:20.10.17 Release Total Commander 9.10 final (32/64)

06.01.17 Added: Show extra text in the title bar in front of or behind the normal title (32/64):

wincmd.ini
[Configuration]
TitleExtraText= *text in front,       -text in front without instance number,       $text behind


Examples, use one of this:

TitleExtraText=*text in front
-or-
TitleExtraText=-text in front but without instance number
-or-
TitleExtraText=$text behind

More visible:

TitleExtraText=*text in front of the title
TitleExtraText=-text in front of the title, but without instance number (multiple programs running)
TitleExtraText=$text behind the title


Default normal title >>> Total Commander 9.10 - Your registered Name here


- - -

Examples:

wincmd.ini
[Configuration]
TitleExtraText=* MyTestTC
Results in: MyTestTC- Total Commander 9.10 - Your registered Name

wincmd.ini
[Configuration]
TitleExtraText=$THIS IS MyTestTC
Results in: Total Commander 9.10 - Your registered Name - THIS IS MyTestTC


RESTART your TC after changing the INI
Needs an restart of TC.
Note: The location of the ini files can be seen in menu "Help > About Total Commander > INIs".
Or utilize Menu "Configuration > Change Settings Files Directly".
If a entry doesn't exists, just create them below of [Configuration]. But be sure to have it only once.

Note: The TitleExtraText-entry can be used only once and you have to decide if you want to use *, - or $, but only one.

Also explained in Help-Index > Section 4. b. INI-file settings: wincmd.ini

TitleExtraText supports environment variables like %USERNAME%.

Just run cmd.exe and use the command
set
to view a list of all environment variables.


Examples:

wincmd.ini
[Configuration]
TitleExtraText=*%USERNAME%
Results in: myusername - Total Commander 9.10 - Your registered Name

wincmd.ini
[Configuration]
TitleExtraText=$logged in as %USERNAME%
Results in: Total Commander 9.10 - Your registered Name - logged in as myusername

You may want to launch TC from a batch:
- create a batch script
- set the variable myTCtitle=abc
- call TCMD with INI-entry TitleExtraText=$%myTCtitle%

06.01.17 Hinzugefügt: Zusätzlichen Text in der Titelleiste vor oder hinter dem normalen Titel anzeigen: (32/64):

wincmd.ini
[Configuration]
TitleExtraText= *text in front, -text in front without instance number, $text behind

Examples, use one of this:

TitleExtraText=*text in front
-or-
TitleExtraText=-text in front but without instance number
-or-
TitleExtraText=$text behind

TitleExtraText=*Text vor dem Titel
TitleExtraText=-Text vor dem Titel, aber ohne die Instanznummer (wenn mehrere Programme laufen)
TitleExtraText=$Text hinter dem Titel

Standard "normaler" Titel >>> Total Commander 9.10 - Your registered Name here

Zum Ändern der wincmd.ini siehe:
Menü "Hilfe > Über Total Commander..." >> Speicherpfad der INIs.
https://www.ghisler.ch/wikide/index.php/Backup#Wo_finde_ich_die_Dateien_.3F

Menü "Konfigurieren > Einstellungsdateien direkt ändern...":
dies öffnet die WINCMD.ini (Haupteinstellungsdatei) und die wcx_ftp.ini (FTP-Tool) in Notepad.
http://www.ghisler.ch/wikide/index.php/Wie_TC_den_Ort_der_INI-Datei_ermittelt


Falls ein Eintrag nicht in der wincmd.ini existiert, füge ihn hinzu,
aber pass auf, dass am Ende wirklich nur ein einziger Eintrag vorhanden ist.

Hinweis: Der TitleExtraText-Eintrag darf nur einmal in der INI verwendet werden, und man muss sich zwischen *,- und $ entscheiden.

Nach der Änderung in der INI muss der TC neu gestartet werden.
