Hi,
Today I have 10 locked Tabs in the left panel and 5 locked Tabs in the right panel. (Total Commander 9.22a version)
All Tabs have the following (default) columns: Name, Ext, Size, Date and Attr.
What is a recommended (short) way to make the following changes in all existing Tabs and in all new Tabs:
1. Rename the "Ext" column to "Extension".
Note: Custom Columns dialog box does not allow you to change the caption of "Name" and "Ext" fields.
2. Rename the "Date" column ([=tc.writedate] field) to "Modified Date".
3. Add a new "Creation Date" column ([=tc.creationdate] field) between the "Date" and the "Attr." columns.
Thanks

Change for example
1140="Name\nExt\nSize\nDate\nAttr"
to
1140="Name\nExtension\nSize\nDate\nAttr"
If you don't use a language file you can make one, just with tha line.
You can "rename" the default extenesion column by editing line 1140 in your language file.1. Rename the "Ext" column to "Extension".
Change for example
1140="Name\nExt\nSize\nDate\nAttr"
to
1140="Name\nExtension\nSize\nDate\nAttr"
If you don't use a language file you can make one, just with tha line.

Re: Questions about custom columns
I use English version of Total Commander without additional languages.
Quote from TC Help: "The language information for English is stored in the file totalcmd.exe itself, for all other languages in external .LNG and .MNU files. The name of these language files starts with WCMD_ (e.g. WCMD_FRA.LNG and WCMD_FRA.MNU for the French language)."
Can you explain me in details how to create a language file (its name, location and type)?
Do you mean to make changes in the existing C:\Program Files\Total Commander\LANGUAGE\WCMD_ENG.MNU file?
Thanks
Re: Questions about custom columns
Make a text file with the name wcmd_eng.lng in the Language folder of TC.
Put this content in the file:
In TC's language setup now choose: "English (wcmd_eng.lng)" in stead of just "English".
Put this content in the file:
Code: Select all
English
1140="Name\nExtension\nSize\nDate\nAttr"

Re: Questions about custom columns
Thanks. It works.
I still wait for answer on my second question: how to make custom-defined columns in a specific tab the default columns for other (existing and new) tabs.

Re: Questions about custom columns
The only way to change custom columns for existing tabs is manually tab by tab. New tabs will use the columns that are present when they are made.
Maybe someone here can make an AHK script that changes columns in all existing tabs
