blocking window redraw while running multiple commands

Post by *petermad »

Inspired by this: viewtopic.php?p=427376#p427376

It would be nice for multiple commands if TC would postpone the redrawing of the file panel until the end of the process.

Maybe if dialogs are opened as part of the command set, the panel should be redrawn before openening the dialog, and then redrawing should be deactivated again after the dialog is closed.

Unfortunately, these tricks will not work with dialogs, since blocking the main window does not have a proper effect on child windows.
But here it is important to point out the non-standard (when using the standard, navigation between directories will be visible) blocking of file panels, and not the entire window, so that there is no blinking of buttons, tabs, panel headers, tab headers, function key bar, status bar, separator, directory hotlist and history buttons.
In this case, I will be happy to support the proposal.

Even better :-)
