How to change Search feature from background to front?

[sidefx88]

Hi!

I'm currently using the Search feature on TC as a separate thread, but I've noticed that the search window has a delay (one to two seconds since I press Alt+F7), so I want to change it back to the same thread as TC.

I've been looking on the Configuration panel, but I couldn't find it.
I couldn't find anything to change it on wincmd.ini too.

Any help?

Thanks!

Is there an option to set the separate search as default? I don't think so, me guess you just call
that feature yourself by changed the default call to launch the separate search?

Use cm_commandBrowser in TCs command line and search for "search":
cm_SearchFor=501;Search for
cm_SearchForInCurdir=517;Search in directory under the cursor
cm_SearchStandalone=545;Search in separate process


Now the question is, have you used "cm_SearchStandalone" or "545" somewhere yourself?
See wincmd.ini [Shortcuts] , DEFAULT.BAR, language.mnu?





For others:

24.04.13 Added: New internal command cm_SearchStandalone opens separate search dialog
with same parameters as cm_SearchFor opens the internal dialog (32/64)

I guess, there's just Alt+F7 remapped to cm_SearchStandalone command. Check in Options > Misc > Redefine hotkeys section.

Thanks, but the internal Search window (not running on a separate thread) has the same delay too (one to two seconds).

Is this caused by too many WDX plug-ins installed? I have 31 WDX installed.

I don't know what WDX or other plug-ins would have to do with an delay on the search function.

Usually one would test that by starting TC with an temporarily ini.

And/or test with that cm_SearchStandalone command.

AFAIK plugins won't be loaded by just opening the search window. That said, it's possible that (WDX) plugins are already loaded when some custom columns are shown in TC main window.

It's best to test with a clean ini:

Code: Select all

totalcmd.exe /i="%temp%\fresh.ini"

If the delay happens there as well, it's something else on the system, likely a virus scanner (including Windows Defender).
