FILE dropdown menu disappeared - 32bit

Post by *DRP535 »

Anybody got any clues why my 32bit installation of TC 9.50b13 is missing its FILE dropdown menu (extreme top left corner)?

Maybe you are using an incomplete menu file? Please go to menu
Configuration - Options - Language
Is there anything set in the field "Main menu file"?
1. If yes, click on "Edit" and check whether it has the file menu. Btw, which language do you use?
2. If no, click on >> and choose wcmd_eng.mnu (external English menu)

If Configuration menu is not available in your current setup too, to change the language you can either open Total Commander's dialog using cm_LanguageConfig command, or change it directly by passing desired .lng file to OPENLANGUAGEFILE command:

Code: Select all

OPENLANGUAGEFILE WCMD_xyz.LNG

Thanks for quick replies, but must have just been a weird computer bug. Shut TC down and restarted and voila… fixed. Weird. I thought for one horrible moment these betas had the compare by content function removed because I couldn't find it anymore. Crisis averted though.

There is a bug in dark mode. When you hover the main menu (without pulling down any submenu), "File" item is NOT highlighted. In some cases it may completely disappear, f.e after playing with Options (Colors etc.), but currently I can't reproduce such cases. Restarting TC restores "File" item, but it may disappear again. It happens for the first item in the main menu, no matter what language is in use.

Yep I thought that might be a possibility too. I am using dark mode and the FILE option did disappear after I enabled it following an upgrade installation from beta 11
