[TC 11.00b6] cm_OpenDriveByIndex doesn't work as stated

[Fla$her]

07.06.23 Added: cm_OpenDriveByIndex can now accept negative numbers below -100, where -101 would be the last button instead of the last drive (-1) (32/64)

1. The result is the opposite: parameter -1 switches to the last button, while -101 switches to the last drive.
2. It's logical to make the operation of positive parameters similar: 1-100 for drive letters, 101+ for buttons.

1. The result is the opposite: parameter -1 switches to the last button, while -101 switches to the last disk.

Confirmed. Furthermore -101 etc. does NOT work when the Drive button bar is visible in 64bit TC.

Also:
Eith drive button bar disabled:
-1 goes to the last drive letter, but -101 goes to \\Network
-2 goes to the second last drive letter, but -102 goes to cd "%USERPROFILE%\Documents" as expected

With drive buttons enabled:
-1 goes to \\Network, but -101 does nothing in 64bit TC and goes to last drive letter in 32bit TC
-2 goes to goes to the last drive letter, and -102 does nothing in 64bit TC and goes to second last drive letter in32bit TC.

U1, U2 etc. drives are neglected.

I would expect values below -100 to do the same whether the drive button bar is enabled or not.

I can confirm that it's broken when drive button bars are enabled. I will fix it.

1. Fixed in b7.
2. Consistency with positive values (1+/101+ for drives/buttons) is still broken.

1. Thanks for confirming the fix!
2. Since buttons always start with drive letters, this is not needed.

2. Since buttons always start with drive letters, this is not needed.

This is required not for the first buttons, but for the last ones:

But I also meant positive values. I.e. I don't want to call cm_OpenNetwork when the conditional Ctrl/Shift + 6/7/etc is accidentally pressed. How to deal with this?

07.06.23 Fixed: cm_OpenDriveByIndex didn't work as described with negative numbers when drive buttonbars were enabled (32/64)

Confirmed fixed in TC 11.00B7

May I suggest to expand the Help about negative parameters to:

Negative numbers count from the end, with two cases:
Numbers below -100 count from the last button, so -101 would be the last button, -102 the second-last etc.
Numbers below -1 but above -100 count from the last drive letter.
If the Drive button bar is disabled, numbers below -100 count from the last item in the drive combobox, so -101 is "Network", -102 is "Documents (directory)" etc.

OK, added, thanks for the suggestion.
