Interpret buttonbar as menu

[Hacker]

Button in default.bar:

cmd26=C:\Programy\Totalcmd\TCmenu\TCmenu.exe
param26=c:\Programy\Totalcmd\Pngcrush.bar -L %L -$


Pngcrush.bar:

[Buttonbar]
Buttoncount=5
cmd1=pngcrush
param1=-d cru -brute *.png
path1=.
cmd2=pngcrush
param2=-d cru -brute -loco -e .mng *.png
cmd3=bmf.exe
param3=-F -Q9 -S *.bmp
cmd4=bmf.exe
param4=-F- -Q9 -S *.bmp
cmd5=c:\Programy\Totalcmd\Lst2run\lst2run.exe
param5=-e "c:\Programy\XnView\nconvert.exe" -s "-v. -out jpeg -q 80 -i -opthuff -rmeta -rexifthumb -rtype lanczos -resize 50%% 50%% \"#p\#f.#e\"" -l %L -p 0

2Hacker Well, It seems to be a bug in TC. In this case TC doesn't pass parameters to program. You can reproduce it without TCMenu at all. Create batch file

Code: Select all

echo %1
pause

. Create button for it, put parameters "bla-bla-bla %L". Now if you press button when cursor on file you'll see "bla-bla-bla" somewhere on csreen. But if cursor on ".. " pseudo directory you'll see "Echo is on" It means parameter is absent.

Christian, any comments?

In this case TC doesn't pass parameters to program.

I suspected that, but
a) can't you just gracefully ignore it (optionally)?
b) why the message "No Button Bar Specified"?

TIA

Hi VadiMPG

Plz, where I could found tctoolbar14.zip ?
it's no longer on your FTP site, just an JPG.

Thx in advance,

Ignore WHAT??? I told you - in this case I don't receive buttonbar filename from TC!

b) why the message "No Button Bar Specified"?

Look at your button definition. You've put buttonbar filename in the "Parameters" field. But TC doesn't pass this filename to TCMenu! So TCMenu started without parameters and obviously say "No Button Bar specified"

Try to put whole command in the "Command" field.

Code: Select all

C:\Programy\Totalcmd\TCmenu\TCmenu.exe
param26=c:\Programy\Totalcmd\Pngcrush.bar -L %L -$

VadiMGP,

I misunderstood you, sorry.

Try to put whole command in the "Command" field.

Great, that works, thanks.

Great, that works, thanks.

Not at all! BTW, AFAIR someone reported about drawback of this method - something related to long filenames containing spaces. But I don't remember exactly and I cannot find it on the forum anymore, sorry. So check it carefully. May be you'll have to play with quotes or double quotes.

I've put TCToolbar14.zip back to the site. You can download it.

I think I've missed something... Is "TCToolbar" identical with "TCMenu"? A new version, perhaps?

No, TCMenu shows buttonbar file as pulldown menu. TCToolbar shows buttonbar file as secondary temporarily toolbar.

Why this mgp site is down all the time? Could you put it on totalcmd.net ?

[fg_2002fr]

Thanks VadiMPG, but piranha is right, your site is often down.
the link given by djk is more accessible. thanks djk

This site isn't intended to be "24x7 ready". When I release a new version I try to keep it working for several weeks - in general most people download files immediately. But after this period I use it for other projects so ofthen I have to restart server.
I surprised at all about demand on TCtoolbar - no one downloaded this program during last year! About other plugins - when plugin in "stable" state I upload it on wincmd.ru.

I think that TCtoolbar (or even TCMenu) is an excellent alternative if you don't want to have too many icons in your toolbar but want to keep a speedy access to some command you dont use commonly.

I have one request :
when you're using TCtoolbar with TC internals command, this is applied to the focused window but not if you use a "cd" command : then directory is allways open in the left windows even the right one is selected.
