How to reopen TC instance as admin ?

[wanderer]

It would be great if there was a way to reopen a TC instance as Admin (with all the tabs and their settings retained).

Ah! Pretty fast and almost what i wanted...

Thanks for the tip but it has a major issue. It saves everything in wincmd.ini, so every new TC instance i open after that, reopens all tabs again.

I have disabled such features so that TC always opens with 1 tab per panel, in default folders ( C:\ ), so this is a major issue for me. Any ideas on how to overcome this?

I use a button which adds an Admin instance with all tabs and the cursor position preserved.

Code: Select all

TOTALCMD#BAR#DATA
*%COMMANDER_EXE%  /N /P /A  /i="%COMMANDER_INI%"
%Z%X %P%N* %T%M*
%COMMANDER_PATH%\TCMADM64.EXE
Open New TC as Admin

OK, you lost me. I don't understand the format. Could you split them to "title", "command" and "parameters" in order to be added as a button to the toolbar?

Thanks.

Code Explanation:
Line 1: let TC recognize his own button code
Line 2: the Command
Line 3: the Parameters (a leading '?' will display the command before actual executing) , (*)
Line 4: the path to the Icon file (try 'WCMICONS.DLL' for TCs Icons)
Line 5: the Tool tip
Line 6: the Start path (can (should!) mostly just left empty)
Line 7: start parameter for the command as minimized / maximized (in 'usercmd.ini' this is the 'iconic' option)
Line 8: the number of the internal TC command, if any in line 2, else a '-1' is shown

(*) for TC parameters read the TC-Help:

Click [Help]-Button or press F1-key or open the TOTALCMD.CHM from TC folder (or subfolder "e").
In CHM go > Operation > User interface > click the "(Button bar)"
> click "Dialog box to change" > read down at "Parameters:" %P %N %X %Y %L %F...
(also read the History.txt and search the forum for the single parameter to learn more about)

Wow!!! I've missed that. Pretty nice. Thanks for the explanation.

Thanks again for it. I tried it and it works fine, except that if there are more than one tabs open in a panel, it only passes the active tab to the new instance.

With this variant, however, the focus ALWAYS changes from the right window to the left window.
With cm_Exit 29, the focus is retained.

One point that I have noticed, but which I will not investigate further, is the following:
If you are in a "subbar" in the button bar, the main button bar is called up after cm_Exit 29.
