Somehow I've got completely useless Total Commander status bar. How to fix that?

Post by *beb »

All the related settings in Total Commander I can see are of the huge amount of two:
gui/ini: Show status bar below file lists | Hide status bar (1/0).
ini: Show long name in status bar in mode view-full (1/0).

My settings:

Code: Select all

[Configuration]
LongInStatus=1
[Layout]
StatusBar=1
My status bar renders no practically useful info:
(left panel: search results; right panel: usual)

Clean TC at least can show a full name of a file under the cursor and some basic info occupying (stretched to) the full width of the bar (in a search pane):
(again, left panel: search results; right panel: usual)

How to at least return to the default behavior? What's the responsible setting?

I assume the answer may be easy, but I still cannot see anything suitable.

Edit:
The answer came as soon as I've posted this here.
In the full mode view (which along with other default views I don't use preferring custom ones) the "file name" column was too narrow. Shifting its border to the right fixes the issue.
Still, pretty strange behavior, since in my custom view(s) said column has normal width.

Custom views are separate from normal view. A screen resolution change can unfortunately have the described effect.
Don't forget to use Configuration - Save position or Save settings to keep the changed column width.
